Main Menu Screenshot (Customizable)
Features
- Your logo on the start screen
- Your menu music
- Random loading-screen art when a world loads (Customizable)
- Discord panel with your invite link
- Custom changelog text and title
- Valheim's vanilla 1.0 night start scene
- Optional skip of the first-run intro cinematic (on by default). Iron Gate splash still plays unless you turn skip on in CFG
- Optional mute of start-menu ambient (wind / ocean / looping biome beds). Button clicks still follow Effects
Missing files are skipped. The rest of the menu still works.
Files
This mod does not ship branding inside BepInEx/config/anymore. Demo logo, music, changelog, and loading art live next to the DLL in plugins/defaults/ (for example BepInEx/plugins/RDMods-CustomMainMenu/defaults).
On first launch the plugin creates BepInEx/config/rdmods.custommainmenu.cfg and an empty BepInEx/config/CustomMainMenu/ folder, and copies README-HOW-TO-CUSTOMIZE.txt into that folder. Read that file first — it lists the exact filenames and the LoadingArt layout.
Put your own files in BepInEx/config/CustomMainMenu/. Those files win over defaults/, and mod updates will not overwrite them. Pack authors should ship branding in their pack’s config/CustomMainMenu/ folder, not inside this mod’s zip.
| File | What it does |
|---|---|
README-HOW-TO-CUSTOMIZE.txt |
Step-by-step names and folder layout. Copied into config for you. |
logo.png |
Start-menu title logo. Also accepts .jpg / .jpeg. |
discordlogo.png |
Image on the Discord panel. Also accepts .jpg / .jpeg. |
mainmenu.ogg |
Looping menu music. OGG Vorbis only. |
changelog.txt |
Text shown in the changelog panel. Edits apply live; no restart. Leave it empty to hide the panel (when custom text is on). |
LoadingArt/art1 to art12 |
Loading screen art. PNG or JPG. If this folder has any image, only your files are used. If it is empty, demo art from defaults/LoadingArt/ is used. |
If a single file (logo, Discord image, music, changelog) is missing from config, the matching file in defaults/ is used. Only LoadingArt folder is a folder-level check so if some art file is missing, it still uses your given art for loading screen.
Config
BepInEx/config/rdmods.custommainmenu.cfg is created on first launch. Your existing values are kept when the mod updates; only new keys are added.
The Discord panel title and button label are fixed in the plugin. The invite URL is not.
| Section | Setting | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| General | Enabled |
Turns the whole mod on or off. Default true. |
| General | EnableLogging |
Extra log lines. Default false. |
| Startup | SkipIronGateSplash |
Skip Coffee Stain / Iron Gate / game logo splash. Default false (vanilla splash plays). Change applies on the next launch. |
| Startup | SkipIntroCinematic |
Skip the first-run 1.0 intro cutscene. Default true. false lets that cinematic play. Does not skip new-world intro, EULA, or the Cinematics menu. |
| Main Menu | MuteAmbient |
Mute ocean, wind, and looping biome ambient on the start menu. Button clicks still follow Effects. Default true. Recommended to keep True so your main menu music is clean. |

| Changelog | OverrideVanillaText |
On: only your text. Off: your text above Valheim’s own notes. Default true. |

| Changelog | TitleText |
Title on the open Changelog panel. Default empty (vanilla “Changelog”). The collapse button always stays “Changelog”. |
| Discord Panel | VisibleOnlyOnStartMenu |
When on, the panel shows only on the main Start Game screen. Hidden on character/world select, cinematics, EULA, and during load. Default true. |
| Discord Panel | DiscordInviteUrl |
Opened by the panel button. Must start with http:// or https://. Empty disables the link. Default https://discord.gg/yX9tv3FXY6. |
