Badgers HD Terrain 2.0

Welcome to a completely new Valheim terrain experience. With the overwhelming success of the original version and to coincide with the release of Willybachs HD Valheim 2. 0, I am overjoyed to be able to bring this new version to you.

Building on the foundation of the previous version a completely re-written shader with advanced height map blending effects really bring the terrain to life like never before. Biomes now blend seamlessly with each other, evironmental and weather effects have been greatly improved.

This has been a long time in the making, I hope you enjoy using this mod as much as I did creating it.

INSTALLATION

VERY IMPORTANT

• []If you are upgrading from version 1.x of the mod you must delete the old version before installing this one.[/]

  []Textures from version 1.x of this mod are not compatible with this version.[/]

If you are using a mod manager such as R2 it is important that you extract the contents of the mod into your profile folder manually, failure to do so will result in the mod loading incorrectly.

To uninstall the mod just remove the ValheimHDTerrain.dll and the HDTerrainData folder from your plugins folder.

RECOMMENDED MODS

While this mod can absolutely be used on its own, it was designed and built to be used with Willybachs HD Overhaul mod. You can find this mod here Willybachs HD Valheim His mod is currently hidden while it is updated, but should be uploaded very soon, so keep an eye out for it.

While this is likely a shameless plug I also recommend using my shader overhaul mod. While it's very subtle, this further improves the lighting effects of this mod.

MOD FEATURES

As well as replacing the terrain textures the mod also has the ability to extend the draw distance and change the overall density of grass and clutter objects. It also fixes the LOD pop in of grass at random positions.

There is also a feature not present in the vanilla game to add caustic reflections for water. These can be controlled with the following console commands.

grassdrawdistance X

Where X is an integer value, 40 is the default draw distance, but you can go as high as you like with this. Please note that extremely large draw distances can affect performance considerably. I recommend you start with 100 and work from there to find a value that works for your setup.

grassamount X

Where X is a float value. This command will allow you to increase or decrease the density of the grass. It can often be useful to offset the performance hit of increasing the draw distance by l
