Custom Audio

This mod lets you replace pretty much any sound in the game with audio files by placing them in the folder BepInEx/plugins/CustomAudio.

The mod should support wav, mp3, and ogg files.

It has a config variable for adjusting music volume beyond the 60% cap the game seems to impose.

When you start the game with this mod, it will create the following folders in your main Valheim folder:

BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\Ambient

BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\Music

BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\SFX

If you place a wav file in any of these folders with the right file name (see below), it will replace that specific audio clip with your file.

If you place a list of clips in a folder with the right folder name (file names don't matter), it will replace the entire list of clips with your list.

Clips are selected from lists to be played at random, so you can get repeats of music or ambient sounds.

Here's an example of replacing an entire SFX list with a different list of wav files:

Finding the Names

Sound Effects

Sound effects are too numerous to list. If you want to find a specific sound effect, you can turn on the config variable DumpInfo and look at the console when the effect is played (one exception to this is fireplace type sounds, see below).

The console will show things like:

CustomAudio checking SFX: sfx_footstep, clip: Player_Footstep_Wood_Walk_M_08

Here the sound effect is called sfx_footstep and the clip is called Player_Footstep_Wood_Walk_M_08

So, if you want to replace the entire list of clips, create a folder:

BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\SFX\sfx_footstep

And fill it with whatever clips you like, names of files don't matter.

If you want to only replace this one clip, you must rename your file to the clip name:

BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\SFX\Player_Footstep_Wood_Walk_M_08.wav

Portal Sound

The sound an portal makes when you are close is changed by using

BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\SFX\portal.wav

Fireplace Sounds

There are five types of fireplace sounds that this mod replaces. They don't work the same way as ordinary sound effects. To replace them, use the following:

[]BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\SFX\groundtorch.wav

[]BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\SFX\walltorch.wav

[*]BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\SFX\fire_
