MonsterLabZ (Valheim 1.0 fix)

Explore Valheim with new monsters to fight. This is a community patch of MonsterLabZFix 3.0.12 so the plugin loads on current Valheim.

Original mod: https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MonsterLabZ/MonsterLabZ/

Previous restore: https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MonsterLabZFix/MonsterLabZ/

All credits go to the original author DefendYourBase. Creatures, locations, and assets belong to them. Do not treat this as a new content pack.

What 3.0.15 changes

Spider hit and death sounds, including Frigga and spider eggs, use MonsterLabZ.cfg under Spider Sounds. Volume = 0.35 is 35% volume. 1 is full volume. Idle, alert, attack, and footstep sounds are unchanged.

HitAreaSFX.Damage, ML_PlantGrow.Grow, and Ship.UpdateWaterForce call the current EffectList.Create method.

What 3.0.13 fixes

Valheim 1.0 added float GetHoverOffset() to the Hoverable interface. MonsterLabZ.ML_PlantGrow did not implement it, so the type failed to load:

The script 'MonsterLabZ.ML_PlantGrow' could not be instantiated!
VTable setup of type MonsterLabZ.ML_PlantGrow failed

That blocked prefab registration. This build adds GetHoverOffset() (returns 0).

Install

Install on client and dedicated server. Remove any other MonsterLabZ / MonsterLabZFix DLL first so you only have one copy.

A handful of creatures spawn by default. Configure the rest with Spawn That or the official BepInEx Configuration Manager.

Notes

• Missing prefab hash on an old world can continue after this fix if leftover objects were saved when the plugin was broken. A new world is the clean test.
• This package is a compatibility patch. If the original author updates MonsterLabZ for 1.0, switch back to that.
