Spawn That!

This is an advanced tool for configuring all world spawners.

With this, it is possible to change almost all of the default settings for the way spawners work in Valheim. Want to have a world without trolls? Possible! (probably) Want to have a world with ONLY trolls? Possible! (almost) Want to have a world where greydwarves only spawn at night? Possible! Just want to have more/less of a mob type? Simple modifiers exist!

Features

  • Change spawning rates of specific mobs
  • Replace existing spawn configurations throughout the world
  • Set almost any of the default parameters the game uses
  • Add your own spawn configuration to the world
  • Modify the localized spawners by mob type and location
  • Dump existing game templates as files using the same format as the mod configs.
    • Easy to copy-paste and change the parts you want.
    • Investigate what the world throws at you.
  • Server-side configs
  • Modify the spawners in camps, villages and dungeons
  • Support for Creature Level and Loot Control
  • Support for MobAILib

FAQ

Why are the config files empty?

  • All configs but spawn_that.cfg and spawn_that.simple.cfg are intended empty initially. This is so that the game will behave as normal, until you start adding configurations to it.
  • Enable any of the "WriteX" in spawn_that.cfg, and files containing the default values will be created in the <GameDirectory>/BepInEx/plugins folder.
    • I also have a pre-generated version here, if you just cannot find the files.

Where do I find the prefab names?

  • Multiple pages have long lists, you can check out this one here, or the valheim wiki

How does it all work?

Valheim's main way of managing spawns work by having two types of spawners spread throughout the world. The world spawners, for which the world has them spread out in a grid fashion, each using the same list of templates to check if something should spawn. These are the general spawners and all currently use the same 44 templates. The local spawners, which are intended for fine-tuned spawning. Local spawners only spawn one specific mob type, and only has one alive at a time. These are bound to specific world locations, such as the surtling firehole.

For world spawners, you can either replace existing templates based on their index, or add to the list of possible templates to spawn from.

For local spawners, since these are more custom, you describe a location and the prefab name of the mob you what you want to override.

The mod modification happens at run-time, once for each spawner. Reloading the world resets all changes. As the player moves through the world, the game loads in the various spawners, and the mod applies its own settings.

Client / Server

Spawn That needs to be installed on all clients (and server) to work.

From v0.3.0 clients will request the configurations currently loaded by the server, and use those without affecting the clients config files. This means you should be able to have server-specific configurations, and the client can have its own setup for singleplayer. For this to work, the mod needs to be installed on the server, and have configs set up properly there. When players join with Spawn That v0.3.0, their mod will use the servers configs.

Simple spawning

All of this might be more complicated than what you need or want. Therefore, "spawn_that.simple.cfg" exists to provide simpler modifiers to world spawner mobs. These will simply scale the number of mobs up or down.

Be aware, these will be applied after any other configurations to world spawners have been set. Meaning if you have 10 times spawning in your "spawn_that.world_spawners_advanced.cfg", and the same in the simple config, you are going to end up with 100x spawning.


[YourUniqueNameHere]

## Prefab name of entity to modify.
# Setting type: String
PrefabName = Greydwarf

## Enable/Disable this set of modifiers.
# Setting type: Boolean
Enable = true

## Change maximum of total spawned entities. 2 means twice as many.
# Setting type: Single

## Change min number of entities that will spawn at once. 2 means twice as many.
# Setting type: Single
GroupSizeMinMultiplier = 1

## Change max number of entities that will spawn at once. 2 means twice as many.
# Setting type: Single

## Change how often the game will try to spawn in new creatures.
## Higher means more often. 2 is twice as often, 0.5 is double the time between spawn checks.
# Setting type: Single
SpawnFrequencyMultiplier = 1

World Spawners

World spawner templates are managed through the "spawn_that.world_spawners_advanced.cfg" file. There are currently 44 default templates, which can be overriden by setting a matching index (starting from 0).

The general config contains debugging options, which can be toggled to create a file containing all templates before the mod applies its changes, and after.

Example:


[WorldSpawner.0]
Name=deer
Enabled=True
Biomes=Meadows,BlackForest,
PrefabName=Deer
HuntPlayer=False
MaxSpawned=4
SpawnInterval=100
SpawnChance=50
LevelMin=1
LevelMax=3
LevelUpMinCenterDistance=0
SpawnDistance=64
SpawnRadiusMin=0
SpawnRadiusMax=0
RequiredGlobalKey=
RequiredEnvironments=
GroupSizeMin=1
GroupSizeMax=3
GroupRadius=5
GroundOffset=0.5
SpawnDuringDay=True
SpawnDuringNight=True
ConditionAltitudeMin=0
ConditionAltitudeMax=1000
ConditionTiltMin=0
ConditionTiltMax=35
SpawnInForest=True
SpawnOutsideForest=False
OceanDepthMin=0
OceanDepthMax=0
ConditionDistanceToCenterMin=0
ConditionDistanceToCenterMax=0
ConditionWorldAgeDaysMin=0
ConditionWorldAgeDaysMax=0

Local spawners

Local spawners are customly set up in the world, based on pre-defined location setups. This means they are each customized to the location at which they are placed, and are not as easily "targetted" as the world spawners templates are. To modify a local spawner, you must specify a location and mob prefab name you want to apply a configuration to. You can also use a room name, if more fine control is necessary for villages, dungeons and camps.

Every combination of Location and PrefabName must be unique.

The general config contains debugging options, which can be toggled to create a file containing all default local spawner configs before the mod applies its changes.

Example

Replaces all boars usually spawning at boar runestones, with trolls.


[Runestone_Boars.Boar]
PrefabName=Troll
Enabled=True
SpawnAtDay=True
SpawnAtNight=True
LevelMin=1
LevelMax=3
LevelUpChance=10
RespawnTime=0
TriggerDistance=60
TriggerNoise=0
SpawnInPlayerBase=False
SetPatrolPoint=True

Example 2

Replaces spawning of blobs in a specific dungeon room with a treasure chest that can respawn every 60 minutes (need to be destroyed for a new one to spawn).

[sunkencrypt_Corridor3.Blob]
PrefabName = TreasureChest_sunkencrypt
RespawnTime = 60

Supplemental

Spawn That will load additional configurations from configs with names prefixed with "spawn_that.world_spawners." and "spawn_that.local_spawners.".

This allows for adding your own custom templates to Spawn That, or simply separate your configs into more manageable pieces. Eg. "spawn_that.world_spawners.my_custom_configuration.cfg" and "spawn_that.local_spawners.my_custom_configuration.cfg"

The configurations loaded will be merged with the one loaded from the main files.

Mod specific configuration

These are implemented soft-dependant, meaning if the mod is not present, the configuration will simply do nothing.

MobAILib

Options for setting MobAILib ai's and configuration. See the mod page for more in-depth documentation of the options. By default, only the built-in AI's will be available, but should support any customly registered by other mods.

Note, MobAI will most likely completely take over any AI related features, so don't expect things like SetTryDespawnOnAlert to work when assigning a custom ai.

World Spawners

Mod-specific configs can be added to each world spawner as [WorldSpawner.Index.MobAI]

## Name of MobAI to register for spawn. Eg. the defaults 'Fixer' and 'Worker'.
SetAI = 

## Configuration file to use for the SetAI. Eg. 'MyFixerConfig.json', can include path, but will always start searching from config folder. See MobAI documentation for file setup.
AIConfigFile = 

Example of a repair boar.

[WorldSpawner.321]
Name = My fixing boar
PrefabName = Boar

[WorldSpawner.321.MobAI]

Local Spawners

Mod-specific configs can be added to each local spawner as [Location.PrefabName.MobAI]

## Name of MobAI to register for spawn. Eg. the defaults 'Fixer' and 'Worker'.

Noise

Noise is set on each player based on certain activities they perform. It is set directly, and does not accumulate, meaning a player chopping trees will have the same noise of 100 for each chop and not increasingly higher.

Certain creatures will treat the noise as a "sound range". This means if the noise is greater than their "hearing" setting, and "noise" is within range of the creature (100 noise is 100 meters), they will react.

Noise constantly decays if no action is performed. Known causes of noise:

  • Dodge: 5
  • Punching: 5
  • Walking: 15
  • Running: 30
  • Jumping: 30
  • Chopping / Pickaxing: 40
  • Remove building piece: 50
  • Chopping trees: 100
  • Breaking rocks: 100

Apart from that, every attack will have a hit-noise and swing noise. By default this is 30 and 10, but this could be different for each attack type.

For those who got this far: An additional "feature" hint. The game does not care what prefab you give it, it does NOT need to be a mob. Do with this knowledge what you will.

    • Fixed spawn_that.simple.cfg not being populated on file creation, when InitializeWithCreatures=true was set in spawn_that.cfg. Introduced in v1.1.0.
    • Fixed GroundOffset for world spawner file configs not being used. Introduced in v1.1.0.
  • v1.1.0:
    • Added support for new SpawnArea spawner type (eg., greydwarf nests).
    • Added custom config file reader. This should hopefully make things more intuitive and less volatile. It does however mean that comments are longer added automatically.
    • Swapped file load and merge order, to make default files override supplemental, as was originally intended (eg., spawn_that.world_spawners_advanced.cfg gets loaded after spawn_that.world_spawners.something.cfg now).
    • Added datamining for locations, as an option in general config.
    • Removed setting "StopTouchingMyConfigs" from general config, as it has become irrellevant.
    • Fixed bug with attempting to load files as configs if they fit the expected name pattern, even though they didn't end with '.cfg'.
    • Fixed bug where disabling world spawner with Enabled disabled the config instead.
    • Fixed potential error when adding a new world spawner without specifying a prefab name.
    • A LOT of boring internal changes, logging and documentation that noone will probably ever see or care about.
  • v1.0.6:
    • Fixed config sync for expanded enums. This should resolves an issue when using biomes from Expand World on servers.
    • Fixed level calculcation used when using the CLLC integration setting UseDefaultLevels.
  • v1.0.5:
    • Improved world spawner debug file output. Now tries to output not just the default settings, but the custom too. Including integrations.
    • Fixed world spawner post change debug file not showing the configuration ID's, but instead the internal index they were added at.
    • Fixed world spawner cfg load adding unnecessary option.
    • Fixed faction, biome and cllc setting parsing being case-sensitive. Eg., setting biome as Blackforest would fail to parse as biome BlackForest.
    • Added installation check for YamlDotNet dll, to ensure it is present.
  • v1.0.4:
    • Fixed dungeon room names not being cleaned before registration, causing issues with local spawners matching.

    • Fixed local spawner file-configs not being properly matched with spawners.
    • Fixed error when printing world spawners with missing prefab to debug file.

    • Moved documentation to https://asharppen.github.io/Valheim.SpawnThat/. Documentation will be updated here from now on.
  • v0.11.6:
    • It's the season of bugs! World spawner templates are now instantiated on entering world, meaning changes applied are no longer carried between worlds / re-entering. This is hopefully getting changed by IG in the future.
    • Fixed local spawners not honouring "Enabled=false". Configs were still attempted applied.
    • Fixed leftover optimizations causing spawners to get disabled in biomes outside the one player logged into.
  • v0.11.5:
    • More v0.205.5 fixes. World spawners were changed from no longer being per zone, but properly global, meaning Spawn That was reapplying its changes more than once.

    • Added console commands for areas.
    • Added conditions for epic loot based items on nearby players.
