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)
• Distance: Maximum interaction range in meters. (Default: 2.0)
• Cooldown: Delay between interactions in seconds. (Default: 1.0)

2 - Visuals & Audio

• ShowHearts: Spawns the lovely pink heart particles. (Default: true)
• PlaySound: Plays the adorable pet sound. (Default: true)

(Pro tip: Use the @viking tag in HoverText or Message, and the mod will swap it out dynamically!)
