Build Camera
Adds a build camera to make building easier, to simplify getting the right perspective so that you can see the snap point. You no longer need to build scaffolding so that you can get above (or to the side) the pieces you're trying to place.Usage:
- Equip your hammer,
- Go within build range of a crafting station,
- Press B (default - can be changed in config) to activate the build camera.
- The camera is now disconnected from your avatar. Look around and move as usual (e.g. using mouse and keyboard); use jump (Space) to go up and stealth (Control) to go down.
- Build (left click) and choose items to build (right click) as usual.
The camera can leave the build area, but can only go twice (default - can be changed in config) the build range from the crafting station.
Deactivate build mode by unequipping the hammer or pressing B.
Installation:
- Install BepInEx for Valheim
- Place
Build Camera.dllin your BepInEx plugins directory, like this:Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\Build Camera.dll.
Configuration:
Start the game with the plugin installed, then edit the file \BepInEx\config\Build Camera.cfg.
Future Improvements:
- The camera will move at walk or run speed, and not be affected by the mousewheel.
- When configured, move relative to the world, instead of relative to the camera's current direction.
- Hold middle mouse (configurable) while pointing at a piece to rotate about it.
- Press a button to reset the camera.
- When configured, invert the Y axis. If possible, reuse the game's setting for this.
- When you go upside down, de-invert the yaw.
