CHANGELOG

Changelog

1.0.2

  • Corrected changelog version heading formatting for Thunderstore version release notes.

1.0.1

  • Valheim v1.0.14 Update Compatibility:
    • Dynamically patched FejdStartup.TryPlayIntroCinematic with backwards compatibility for PlayIntroCinematic on earlier Valheim versions.
    • Synchronized CinematicControl's 3-way launch setting (AlwaysPlay, PlayOnce, Disabled) with vanilla 1.0.14's native SkipIntroCinematic setting, ensuring both systems work together seamlessly.
    • Resetting seen history now also resets the base game's SkipIntroCinematic flag back to unplayed.

1.0.0

  • Granular 3-Way Control (AlwaysPlay, PlayOnce, Disabled):
    • AlwaysPlay (0): Vanilla playback on every occurrence.
    • PlayOnce (1): Plays once (on first game launch or maiden character world entry), then seamlessly bypassed on subsequent sessions. Reverting to AlwaysPlay restores vanilla playback immediately.
    • Disabled (2): Completely bypassed immediately.
  • Fast Game Launch:
    • Studio Splash Logos: Skip Iron Gate and Coffee Stain loading splash animations to jump directly to the title screen.
    • 1.0 Launch Movie: Skip or play once the animated launch cutscene before the main menu.
  • Valkyrie Intro Flight:
    • In PlayOnce mode, the maiden flight plays on a new character's very first spawn; subsequent world logins or new world entries skip straight to the sacrificial stones.
    • When the Valkyrie flight is skipped, the game holds the loading screen until world zone structures and terrain are fully populated, ensuring zero object pop-in upon arrival.
    • Flight Corridor Map Reveal (RevealFlightMapPathOnSkip): Linearly explores the entire flight trajectory on the world map fog-of-war so exploration progress is never lost.
  • New World Intro Movie & Lore Text:
    • Control the animated 1.0 introductory lore movie and scrolling lore text when generating or entering a new world.
  • Dream Sleep Cinematics:
    • Choose whether the 1.0 animated dream videos play during sleep.
    • When bypassed or disabled, the game seamlessly falls back to classic Valheim dream lore text.
  • Ending Cutscene & Credits:
    • Granular control over the post-boss outro cutscene and ending credits sequence.
  • Unified Seen Reset System:
    • Reset all playback history anytime via:
      1. A custom "RESET SEEN CINEMATICS" button in the Main Menu -> Cinematics sub-menu.
      2. An interactive button in the BepInEx Configuration Manager (F1).
      3. Console commands cinematic_reset or cinematiccontrol_reset (F5).
      4. Config toggle ResetSeenHistory = true in com.drakosdj.cinematiccontrol.cfg.
  • Multiplayer Safe:
    • 100% client-side mod. Fully safe for singleplayer and dedicated multiplayer servers without desyncs.
