FAQ

Q. Valheim Enchanting System doesn't support these weapons?

A. There is a default VES config in the VA folder (VES.ValheimArmory.default.yml), it must be moved to the VES config folder. This gives you full control of configurations that are actually applied in regards to VES. The folder you should place this config file in is BepInEx\config\ValheimEnchantmentSystem\AdditionalEnchantmentReqs

Q. Epic Loot doesn't automatically drop these weapons, what gives?

A. There is a default Epic Loot config files (EpicLoot_Valheim_Armory.loottables.json, EpicLoot_Valheim_Armory.iteminfo.json) in the VA folder, they must be moved to the Epic loot config patches folder. \BepInEx\config\EpicLoot\patches

Q. Why does disabling the recipe do nothing?

A. You must have an item enabled, for the recipe disable flag to do anything. When an item is disabled it is completely removed from the game, so its recipe doesn't matter. Items can be uncraftable, and removed from the game seperately.

Q. I want to edit the text for a weapon, how do I do that?

A. You can download a copy of any of the language files available on github and place it at the following location: Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\ValheimArmory\Assets\Translations\YOUR_LANGUAGE_HERE\ValheimArmory.json this will override the default localization for VA for the language specified. This is localization sideloading that is supported through Jotunn I also accept language translation updates, if you want to translate or update an existing translation please reach out on the discord server or open a github ticket.

Q. Why does x weapon look bad?

A.
- This is my first Unity, and Valhiem mod
- My original goal with modding was to just make a singular new arrow
- I'm not a gamedev, I suck at textures, modeling and don't know the unity loaders
- I'm learning as I go, and welcome feedback
- I do this in my few hours of free time, sometimes I don't have that time
