Build Camera

Usage:

1. Equip your hammer,
2. Go within build range of a build station (e.g. a workbench),
3. Press B (default - can be changed in config) to activate the build camera.
4. 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. Hold run (Shift) to move the camera faster.
5. Build (left click) and choose items to build (right click) as usual.

Other details:

• Also works with the hoe and the cultivator.
• The camera must stay within the build area, although the build area is configurable with Camera_Range_Multiplier.
• Deactivate build mode by unequipping the hammer or pressing B or R (the keybind for "hide" weapons).

Installation:

1. Install BepInEx for Valheim
2. Place Build Camera.dll in 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. There are several configurable options:

• Toggle_build_mode hotkey
• Camera_Move_Speed_Multiplier
• Camera_Range_Multiplier
• Move_With_Respect_To_World
• Verbose_Logging

Future Improvements:

• Hold middle mouse (configurable) while pointing at a piece to rotate about it.

Changelog :

    Version 1.4
        Stop ignoring the "Hide equipped tool/weapon" hotkey; allow it to put the tool away (and disable build camera).
    Version 1.3
        Build Mode is usable with Hoe and Cultivator.
        Don't turn build camera when user has piece selection HUD visible.
    Version 1.2
        Fix camera panning (i.e. movement) speed: mousewheel does not change panning speed. Panning speed is about the same as walking speed. Hold shift to speed up. Add configuration option to change speed.
        Don't allow looking so far up or down that camera is now upside down.
        Camera turn speed respects user's Invert Mouse and Mouse Sensitivity options.
        When entering build mode, we reset the view direction of the build camera, so that it matches the player's current view direction.
        Add configurable option Move_With_Respect_To_World: When true, camera panning input (e.g. pressing WASD) moves the camera with respect to the world coordinates, not current camera view direction.
        Don't move camera when user is in the menu, chat, etc.
        Change Camera_Range_Multiplier default to 1 to provide an experience as close to vanilla as possible.
        When the config option Verbose_Logging is true, explain 3 reasons why build mode is not activated.
    Version 1.1
        Fix: don't only show the sky.
    Version 1.0.0.0
        Initial release.
