JevIntroSkip

Skips the studio logos, the intro video, the lore text and the Valkyrie flight, so you get into the game without the wait. Each one is a toggle, so you only skip what you want to.

Features

• Skips the Coffee Stain and Iron Gate logos.
• Skips the intro cinematic video before the main menu.
• Skips the lore text when a new character enters a world.
• Skips the Valkyrie flight and drops you at the start point.
• Each skip has its own setting.

Configuration

The settings are in BepInEx/config/JevMods.JevIntroSkip.cfg, created on first launch.

• Startup.SkipLogos: skips the Coffee Stain and Iron Gate logos (default true).
• Startup.SkipCinematic: skips the intro cinematic video shown before the main menu (default true).
• NewWorld.SkipLoreText: skips the lore text a new character sees (default true).
• NewWorld.SkipValkyrieFlight: skips the Valkyrie flight and spawns you at the start point (default true).

Building from source

To build you need Windows, the .NET SDK 8 or newer (with the .NET Framework 4.8 developer pack), Valheim and BepInEx. The easiest way to get BepInEx is to install BepInExPack_Valheim in a Thunderstore Mod Manager profile.

git clone https://github.com/JevMods/JevIntroSkip.git
cd JevIntroSkip
dotnet build src/JevIntroSkip -c Release

Then copy src/JevIntroSkip/bin/Release/JevIntroSkip.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

The build looks for Valheim through Steam and for BepInEx in the Default profile of the Thunderstore Mod Manager. If yours live elsewhere, pass the paths:

dotnet build src/JevIntroSkip -c Release -p:ValheimDir="D:\Games\Valheim" -p:BepInExDir="D:\Games\Valheim\BepInEx"

You can also set the VALHEIM_INSTALL environment variable. With no Valheim install at all, point ManagedDir at the valheim_server_Data/Managed folder of the free Valheim Dedicated Server (Steam app 896660). The GitHub workflow does exactly that.

Notes

• Client-side: only the player who wants the skips needs to install it.
• Source: https://github.com/JevMods/JevIntroSkip
