I first tried to code the interface directly in C# but I quickly realized that it's a huge task. Then I had to figure out how to integrate a custom UI. If you watch my replay you will see that every day was a challenge.įirst I had to setup a build for Valheim modding (almost no documentation) with a language I didn't know, dealing with different versions of Unity/Mono/.Net etc.

The whole project was done live on my Twitch channel with the daily support of my viewers.

Unfortunately Valheim doesn't provide modding out of the box so I also had to dive into the world of BepInEx and HarmonyX.Īnother important ingredient is my community. More seriously I started to learn Unity and C# for this project.

Spawn different entity (more or less aggressive, Troll, Boar, etc.) configurable in game by the broadcaster.īy turning a lot of coffee into lines of code.

Start events for a predefined duration (ex.: blobs horde).

Change weather for a predefined duration.

Send a message to the broadcaster via Hugin (the crow in the tutorial).

Print a message in the HUD (center or top left).

Auto enable/disable managed reward when the game start/stop/quit.

It was not easy at all for the end user to install and configure it.Īfter one of my viewers told me about the Twitch Channel Points Hackathon I decided to make a new version by integrating everything in the mod and offering a GUI to configure anything directly in game.įun fact, I spent more than 150 hours coding this mod and less than 80 playing the game. I made a first version without a graphical interface, with a nodejs server that handled the connection to Twitch and that communicated with the mod in Websocket. As I want to play Valheim, I started to develop a mod so that my viewers can interact with me directly in game. As usual I like to offer my community some interaction in my stream. I'm a live coder and sometimes I also like to play video games.
