SilenceTameWolfCub

Inspired by Keezys_Better_Wolves. If tame cubs are detected within 30 meters, all wolf howls are silenced. This simultaneously permits domestic peace and quiet, and allows adult tame wolves to follow you without silencing nearby enemy wolves.

Valheim - Silence Tame Wolf Cub Howls Mod

Works with Mistlands Update!

This is inspired by Keezys_Better_Wolves mod, and tweaks the approach to allow hunting with tamed wolves without the loss of enemy wolf howls.

Problem

  • Both adult and young enemy wolves will howl constantly whenever they're in earshot.
  • Adult tame wolves will not howl, but their young offspring will.
  • Breeding tame wolves shouldn't come at the cost of peace and quiet.

Solution

  • This mod will only silence howls if there are young tame wolves within 30 meters.
  • This allows exploring/hunting beyond the homestead without changing enemy wolf behavior.

While tame wolves won't attack one of their own, they're handy companions in most exploring/hunting situations. So having them present shouldn't also silence enemy wolves.

Config

Configuration allows:

  • EnableToggleFlag, default: true
  • SilenceAdultsFlag, default: false
  • SilenceRangeValue, default: 30f
