ExpertMode Plugin for Valheim

Enemies spawn at the specified level.

Modifying the global_level will change what level all enemies spawn at. <enemyname>_override, if set above 0, will be used instead of the gloabl_level for that enemy.

Enemy overrides are added dynamically to the config when they are encountered in game. Overrides can be added manually if the enemy name is known.

A 0 star enemy is level 1. So: Level 1 = 0 Stars Level 2 = 1 Stars Level 3 = 2 Stars and so on.

The visual indicator of stars and enemey looks revert back to the original after exceeding level 3.
