RichEmoji

All the emojis you ~~never asked for~~ could ever ask for, now in Valheim!

Features

Discord-style shortcodes - type :wave: and it becomes 👋
Autocomplete - start typing a shortcode and pick from a list of matching emojis
Custom emoji support - add your own PNG files and use them in Valheim as emojis (see below)
Multiplayer compatible - other players with the mod can still see your emojis, everyone else sees shortcodes
Paste support - optionally copy and paste Unicode emojis from the web / emoji picker
Twemoji - Includes Twitter emojis (you can add your own, too) so you'll have plenty to start (~1900 emojis)

You can use these emojis almost everywhere: chat, signs, tame names, portal tags, map pins, and your favorite chat mods.

Usage

Shortcodes

Type a shortcode matching your emoji's filename and it'll be replaced with the matching sprite:

:wave: -> wave.png
:thumbsup: -> thumbsup.png

You can also directly paste the emoji if it has a Unicode mapped to it.

Autocomplete

Type : followed by at least two letters (e.g. :th) and a list of matching emojis pops up above the text box.

Key	Action
Up / Down	Choose an emoji
Tab / Enter	Insert the selected emoji
Esc	Close the list

If you don't want to see it, set Autocomplete = false in BepInEx/config/Ron4242.github.RichEmoji.cfg, or toggle it in-game with ConfigurationManager.

Adding your own emojis

All emojis are loaded from the RichEmoji config folder found at BepInEx/config/RichEmoji/emojis/

The file name is the shortcode, so party_parrot.png becomes :party_parrot:
You can nest folders to keep things organized and easy to share
On first launch, the bundled emojis are copied into this folder. After that it's all yours. Feel free to remove packs you don't want
To restore the default emojis, delete the emojis folder and restart the game

For more info, like how to support Unicode mapping, check the usage wiki!

Installation

Make sure you have the BepInEx Valheim Pack dependency
Install via Thunderstore Mod Manager, r2modman, Gale or manually
- For manual install, extract the archive to BepInEx/plugins/
Launch the game once to load the bundled emojis
Put any custom emoji PNGs into the emojis/ folder inside the config directory: BepInEx/config/RichEmoji/emojis/

Notes

Should be compatible with everything.

Please report any broken or malformed Unicode emojis (provided they're valid) to ro_n on Discord, and I'll get them fixed.

Multiplayer: This mod is client-sided and does not need to be installed on the server. Emojis are converted to their shortcodes, so what other players see depends on their own emoji pack. If they have a matching shortcode, they'll see their own version of it (e.g. :joy: can show up differently based on what that image is in their files).

See the changelog for planned features.

Contact

If you have a bug, suggestion, issues using or installing the mod, or even something nice to say, shoot me a DM or mention on Discord! I'm also in the above servers (they are not mine!)

I know there's not enough emojis on this page, but I don't really like them... 😔
