Custom Textures

Description

This mod should allow you to replace the following:

• []player model textures

  []item inventory icons

  []equipment textures like armor, weapons, and tools

  []terrain and water textures

  []environmental textures

  []special location textures (villages, crypts, rune stones, etc.)

• world object textures, almost everything else in the game world

  It also now supports layers, so you can apply multiple textures to the same vanilla texture (see Layers below).

  To create your own custom textures requires basic reading comprehension! It's not that difficult, but please read all of the information below carefully before asking for help.

  Basic Usage

  To extract the vanilla textures for reference, I use Asset Studio. The textures are in the valheim_Data/sharedassets files.

  To replace a texture, you simply add a png file to the folder BepInEx/plugins/CustomTextures with the proper name format explained below, and then load the game.

  You can also organize textures into subfolders! If you are publishing a texture pack I encourage you to do this, to allow easy install and removal.

  Also, if you are publishing a texture pack, putting your textures in a CustomTextures folder before creating the zip file will allow Vortex to install them automatically!

  To reload world textures while in game, there is a hotkey (default Page Down). Note: this doesn't reload any vanilla textures, so if you remove a custom texture file, you'll have to restart the game to see the vanilla texture again.

  Here's some kind person's video on how to use this mod with premade texture packs.

  Filter Mode

  Valheim textures use point filtering, which makes them look pixelated up close. If you want to use bilinear or trilinear filtering for higher-res textures, place your textures in a subfolder named bilinear or trilinear and the mod will change the filter mode for those textures (they can still be in sub-subfolders if you choose).

  File Naming Summary

  File names are made up of up to four parts, prefixes, identifiers, property names, and layer names. To get most of this information, use the scene dump (see Scene Dump below)

  You create file names starting with a prefix, usually followed by an underscore, then an identifier, then the property name (and optionally an underscore followed by a layer name, as explained under Layers), i.e. for a complete texture replacement:

  <prefix>_
