Compact Status Squares

Small square buff and debuff icons for Valheim, using the game's own effect art. Built to sit next to SeneaL UI without letting that mod draw the status list.

SeneaL UI skips the game's status-effect update whenever its interface is on, even if its own status pills are switched off. This mod draws the icons itself and blocks SeneaL's status panel, so that slot stays ours. The rest of SeneaL UI is left alone.

Try it

The test build is already copied into the Gale profiles that have SeneaL UI:

• beta_cjaycraft_CLIENT
• sennealteest

Launch that profile, load a character, and pick up a buff (Rested, a potion, Wet, Cold). The icons should be small squares. SeneaL's pills should not appear, including if [Elements] StatusEffects is turned back on.

Move the cluster with OffsetX and OffsetY in:

BepInEx/config/cjayride.CompactStatusSquares.cfg

Other settings in that file (size, text scale, name beside the icon, vanilla font, columns, spacing, corner, timer, crisp pixels) apply immediately. Hover an icon for its name.

Turn [General] Enabled off to hand the status list back.

Do not run this together with another mod that also replaces the status-effect HUD.

Build

From this folder:

dotnet build -c Release

The game install's BepInEx plugins folder receives CompactStatusSquares.dll after a successful build. Copy that dll into a Gale profile's BepInEx/plugins/cjayride-CompactStatusSquares/ folder when testing from Gale.

0.1.6

• NameGap sets the pixels between the icon and the status name, so the name can clear the comfort number.
• FillPreview draws sample squares, including Resting Comfort with 16, so the layout can be checked with no status effects. Off by default.

0.1.4

• Removed the Alt coordinate overlay and the Alt+arrow nudge. Position stays in the config.

0.1.3

• TextScale sizes timers, comfort numbers, names, and the hover tip.
• ShowName can draw the localized status name Left or Right of the icon (Off by default).
• UseVanillaFont switches those labels to Valheim's Norse font.

0.1.2

• Stop NullReferenceException spam on logout: SeneaL's status panel is already destroyed while LateUpdate still ran.

0.1.1

• Default cluster sits in the top-right with OffsetX -18, OffsetY -18, and IconSize 36.577.

0.1.0

• Small square status icons using the vanilla effect sprites.
• Screen corner, offset, size, columns, and spacing are configurable, including in-game nudge.
• While this mod is on, it takes the status-effect slot: SeneaL UI's pills stay hidden and the large vanilla list is not drawn.
