Pettable Vikings
Have you ever wanted to show some appreciation to your fellow Vikings after a hard day of chopping wood and slaying Trolls? Now you can! Pettable Vikings is a fully customizable, multiplayer-ready mod that allows players to "pet" each other in Valheim.
✨ Features
- Multiplayer Synced: Uses native RPC. When you pet someone, everyone nearby sees the hearts and hears the sound!
- Fully Customizable Text: Change the crosshair text and the on-screen message to anything you want (e.g., Hug, High-five, Slap).
- Dynamic Names: Use the
@viking tag in your configuration, and the mod will automatically replace it with the target player's name!
- Toggleable Effects: Don't like the pink hearts or the sound? You can easily turn them off in the config.
- Configurable Limits: Set your own custom cooldown times and interaction distances.
- Live Updates: Fully compatible with BepInEx Configuration Manager. Tweak settings in-game and see changes instantly without restarting!
⚙️ Configuration Options
After running the game once, a configuration file (com.valheim.pettablevikings.cfg) will be generated. You can change:
1 - General
- Enabled: Toggle the entire mod on or off.
- HoverText: What shows up on your crosshair. (Default:
Pet @viking)
- Message: What shows up on the screen after interaction. (Default:
@viking loves you)
