Cacophony

Bring dynamic custom audio to Valheim! Cacophony provides a live creature sound management studio with an in-browser web interface. Assign custom .wav or .mp3 audio files to any creature's idle sounds and death effects without replacing vanilla assets or editing code.

A Valheim BepInEx 5 plugin built on Jotunn.

Features

• Live Web Studio: Open http://127.0.0.1:8787/ in any browser while Valheim is running to view, test, and assign sounds.
• Creature Discovery: Automatically detects all vanilla and modded creatures loaded in the world.
• Idle & Death Triggers: Attach custom sound effects to creature idle intervals (chances, delays) and death events.
• Tuning Controls: Adjust volume, min/max audible distance, random pitch variance (jitter), and concurrency limits.
• Zero Performance Impact: Hooks straight into Valheim's native EffectList data structures with no per-frame polling.
