CustomMeshes

Updated for Valheim 1.0

A fork of aedenthorn/CustomMeshes

ThunderStore | GitHub

Replace object meshes with imported model files.

This mod will hopefully eventually allow replacing any mesh in the game; for now it lets you do the following:

  • Replace the static mesh(es) of building pieces with imported fbx or obj files.
  • Replace the static mesh(es) of items with imported fbx or obj files.
  • Replace skinned meshes with imported AssetBundles (experimental)

All files should be placed in subfolders in BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes folder (create it if it's not there) as explained below.

DETAILED INFORMATION

Building Pieces

To import static meshes for building pieces, do the following:

[Step One:] create a folder with the name of the thing you are replacing.

For example, to replace the wooden chest meshes, create a subfolder in BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes called: piece_chest_wood

[Step Two:] create a subfolder for each of the states of the building piece: New, Worn, Broken

So now you should have three folders:

BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes\piece_chest_wood\New
BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes\piece_chest_wood\Worn
BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes\piece_chest_wood\Broken

Step Three: put fbx or obj files corresponding to each MeshFilter name into that folder, e.g.:

woodchest.fbx woodchesttop_closed.fbx

Items

To import static meshes for items, you need the item name, the renderer object name, and either the mesh filter name or the skinned mesh renderer name, depending on the item. You can find these by turning on debug in the config file and looking at the messages when the item spawns, e.g.:

CustomMeshes got mesh filter item name: HelmetPadded, obj: HelmetPadded, mf: default

CustomMeshes got skinned mesh renderer, item name: HelmetPadded, obj: attach_skin, smr: ChainLinkVisor

You then create a file with the following folder structure:

  • BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes<ItemName><ObjectName><MeshFilterName>.obj

and/or

  • BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes<ItemName><ObjectName><SkinnedMeshRenderer>.obj

For example:

  • BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes\HelmetPadded\HelmetPadded\default.obj

or

  • BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes\HelmetPadded\attach_skin\ChainLinkVisor.obj

Player Meshes

To import player meshes, you need to create an AssetBundle with a body object in it. Please don't ask me how to do that, I have no clue. You can ask people working on it in my discord server if you know something about Unity.

Step One: create a folder called player with a subfolder called model in the CustomMeshes folder. So now you have:

BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes\player\model

Step Two: put the asset bundle you created in the subfolder, naming it 0 for male and 1 for female (make sure it has no file extension).

Known Issues

Requires BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350+ (Unity 6). Crossplay must stay off for BepInEx to load.

Configuration

  • A config file BepInEx/config/cjayride.CustomMeshes.cfg is created after running the game once with this mod.
