📋 About This Mod
Changes the distance that Demisters push Mist away. Defined by a multiplier in a config file, default value is 2x.
At the current stage the mod does it to every Demister in the game, might add options for this later so that you can for example pick only Wisplight to save some performance.
Affects all existing demisters in the game, which include things such as: Wisplight, Mistwalker, Wisp Torches, Generated Dvergr Torches and some other minor ones.
Editing the config while in game currently does not update live, for equippables such as Wisplight and Mistwalker you will need to equip them again for the effect to apply. For structures you will either need to restart the game or leave the area far enough away so that they de-load and get the new config value applied upon reload.
I'll try to make things more user friendly when I figure things out, this is my first ever mod and it's been a long time since I learned the basics of C#.
Last of all, go have fun :)
Short guide to modifying the mod config:
Running the game once with the mod installed creates a config file in: Valheim/BepInEx/config
File name should be along the lines of "toombe. BetterWisplight.cfg"
The number in the config file represents the multiplier amount, by default its 2 (for 2x the default demisting) but you can change it to a higher amount if you prefer. The value is in float format so decimal values are possible.
Better Wisplight is a small gameplay mod for Valheim that doubles the mist-clearing range of Demisters, improving visibility in the Mistlands. It offers a configurable multiplier, though very high values may impact performance. Ideal for players who find the default mist too dense.
