Build Camera

Adds a build camera to make building easier, to simplify getting the right perspective so that you can see the snap point. You no longer need to build scaffolding so that you can get above (or to the side) the pieces you're trying to place.

README

Usage:

  1. Equip your hammer,
  2. Go within build range of a build station (e.g. a workbench),
  3. Press B (default - can be changed in config) to activate the build camera.
  4. The camera is now disconnected from your avatar. Look around and move as usual (e.g. using mouse and keyboard); use jump (Space) to go up and stealth (Control) to go down.
  5. Build (left click) and choose items to build (right click) as usual.

The camera can leave the build area, but can only go twice (default - can be changed in config) the build range from the crafting station.

Deactivate build mode by unequipping the hammer or pressing B.

Installation:

  1. Install BepInEx for Valheim
  2. Place Build Camera.dll in your BepInEx plugins directory, like this: Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\Build Camera.dll.

Configuration:

Start the game with the plugin installed, then edit the file \BepInEx\config\Build Camera.cfg. There are several configurable options:

  • Toggle_build_mode hotkey
  • Camera_Move_Speed_Multiplier
  • Camera_Range_Multiplier
  • Move_With_Respect_To_World
  • Verbose_Logging

Future Improvements:

  • Hold middle mouse (configurable) while pointing at a piece to rotate about it.
