ValheimModding-Jotunn

Preferred version: 5.4.2360README
ImprovedTames
Tames with an owner, clear commands, and followers that don't get lost. Built for multiplayer servers where every player has their own tames.
Ownership
- A newly tamed animal, and every tame from before you installed the mod, is Unowned.
- Press E on an unowned tame to claim it. It's yours for good, also while you're offline, and starts following you.
- Hold E (1.5 s) on your tame to release it. It becomes Unowned and stays where it is.
- Only the owner can command, rename, saddle, unsaddle and ride a tame. Anyone else gets "This tame belongs to …". Anyone can still feed it.
- Hovering a tame shows its owner, mode, how long it stays fed, and the keys you can use.
Follow, Wander, Sit
Press E on your tame to cycle the mode:
- Follow: walks with you.
- Wander: stays around the spot where you left it, like the base game's "stay".
- Sit: stays on that exact spot and never starts a fight. If something attacks it, it fights back, then returns to its spot.
Catch-up and recall
- A following tame that falls more than 30 m behind, or gets stuck for a few seconds, appears next to you. On a boat it lands on the deck if there's room; otherwise it swims after you and catches up on land. Tames don't follow you into dungeons.
- Recall: set
RecallKeyto a key of your choice. It brings all your following tames to you (10 s cooldown). Only tames in the area the game has loaded around you can be recalled.
Portals
Tames following you go through portals with you, within 50 m of you when you enter (configurable). This includes PotalMap's map-click teleports. Tames someone is riding and summons like skeletons stay as in the base game.
Settings
In BepInEx/config/com.robert.improvedtames.cfg, created on first launch. Everything except RecallKey and
DebugLogging comes from the server, and only admins can change it in-game.
- Portal teleport:
Enabled,MaxDistance,ArrivalRadius. - Catch up:
Enabled,CatchUpDistance(30 m),StuckDistance(8 m),StuckSeconds(4 s). - Recall:
RecallKey(your own key, none by default),RecallCooldown(10 s). DebugLogging: log every tame moved or commanded.
Every player and the server must have the same version of the mod.
Changes
- 0.2.0: Tame ownership with claim and release, Follow/Wander/Sit modes, owner-only riding, richer hover text, catch-up teleport for stuck or far followers, recall hotkey.
- 0.1.3: Fixed tames being left behind when PotalMap is installed. PotalMap teleports you without going through the game's normal portal code, so the mod never noticed the trip.
