Valheim GIF Posters

Place animated GIF posters on walls in Valheim using direct image URLs.

How to use

1. Select GIF poster in the hammer's Furniture category and place it on a wall. It costs 2 wood.
2. Press E on the poster and paste a direct GIF URL, such as https://example.com/animation.gif.
3. Wait for the animation to load. Submit an empty URL to clear the poster.
4. Press Alt + E to set that poster's scale. Enter a value from 0.25 to 10, with up to two decimal places. Both 1.5 and 1,5 are accepted. 1 is the default size. The scale is saved per poster and shared with other players.

Use a URL that returns the GIF file itself, not a preview page on a site such as Giphy or Tenor. Every player must be able to reach the URL. The Valheim server shares the URL, while each client downloads the GIF independently. Expiring URLs stop working after they expire.

Installation

Install with a Thunderstore compatible mod manager to get the declared dependencies automatically. The mod, BepInExPack Valheim, and Jötunn must be installed on the server and on every client. Restart the game and server after installing; this mod uses Jötunn's EveryoneMustHaveMod compatibility setting.

For manual installation, install BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn, then copy ValheimGifPosters.dll to BepInEx/plugins/ValheimGifPosters/ on the server and every client. For r2modman, use that path inside the active profile.

The configuration file is BepInEx/config/xaren.valheim.gifposters.cfg.
