README

Valheim GIF Posters

Place animated GIFs or static PNG/JPEG images on walls in Valheim using direct image URLs.

How to use

  1. Select Image poster in the hammer's Furniture category and place it on a wall. It costs 2 wood.
  2. Press E on the poster and paste a direct GIF, PNG, or JPEG URL, such as https://example.com/animation.gif or https://example.com/photo.jpg.
  3. Wait for the image to load. Submit an empty URL to clear the poster.
  4. Press Alt + E to set that poster's scale. Enter a value from 0.25 to 10, with up to two decimal places. Both 1.5 and 1,5 are accepted. 1 is the default size. The scale is saved per poster and shared with other players.

Use a URL that returns the image file itself, not a preview page on a site such as Giphy, Tenor, or an image host. The file type is detected from its contents, so URLs with query parameters also work. GIFs are limited to 512 × 512 pixels; PNG and JPEG images are limited to 4096 × 4096 pixels. Downloads are limited to 16 MiB. Every player must be able to reach the URL. The Valheim server shares the URL, while each client downloads the image independently. Expiring URLs stop working after they expire.

Installation

Install with a Thunderstore compatible mod manager to get the declared dependencies automatically. The mod, BepInExPack Valheim, and Jötunn must be installed on the server and on every client. Restart the game and server after installing; this mod uses Jötunn's EveryoneMustHaveMod compatibility setting.

For manual installation, install BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn, then copy ValheimGifPosters.dll to BepInEx/plugins/ValheimGifPosters/ on the server and every client. For r2modman, use that path inside the active profile.

The configuration file is BepInEx/config/xaren.valheim.gifposters.cfg.
