MaxAxe (Throw Things)

Unleash Your Throwing Fury!

Now with melee secondary attacks for staffs.

Throw Axes, Knives, Maces, Swords, Sledges, Atgeirs, Battleaxes, Pickaxes, Flaming Torches, Stones, Shields, Wisps, Eitr, Tankards & Eggs. Stack throwing weapons. Frostner returns when thrown!

  • Ever wonder why a Viking's axe (of all things) wouldn't be a weapon of choice? And why you couldn't throw them?
  • Throw Axes, Clubs, Torches, Swords, Knives, and Maces.
  • Throw two-handed weapons including Sledges, Battleaxes, Swords, Pickaxes and Atgeirs.
  • Channel the spirit of Mjolnir; throw Frostner and have it return!
  • Simulate more realistic throwing using 'Better' dynamics.
  • Throw Shields. Unsling your round shield and send it spinning at your enemy like Cap.
  • Throw Stones. Whack a Greyling, annoy a Troll, send feathers flying, be a Hobbit.
  • Throw Tankards. Toast your friends, throw back a cold one, then throw your mug.
  • Throw Eitr and do Poison damage.
  • Throw Wisps and do Spirit damage. Ashlands??
  • Throw chicken Eggs. Toss eggs at your friends and do, well... let's just say it's yolky.
  • Toggle between melee and throwing attacks with a key press.
  • Adds 'missing' melee attacks. Swing your magic staff for a last ditch attack when you're out of Eitr.
  • Corrects for 'odd' damage types, e.g. pierce damage changed to slash on a swung Atgeir; slash damage changed to pierce on a sword thrust, etc.
  • Optionally stack throwable weapons; up to 3 Axes, Clubs or Maces, a 'quiver' of 5 Spears, and a 'sheath' of 10 Knives per slot.
  • Has a weapon 'finder' to help locate thrown weapons.
  • MaxAxe can automatically equip a backup weapon so you're never fumbling to find another weapon in combat.

New

  • 1.0.1 Fixeds stacking with Snowballs and Ember charges. Fixed unstacking with blob bombs.
  • Updated for Valheim 1.0
  • Moved resources to BepInEx/config/Neobotics
  • Fixed issue toggling non-weapons on/off not changing type and skill (see Notes)

Configuration

  • EnableBloodStaffMelee: Set to true to allow a sweeping melee secondary attack for Blood Magic staffs, except for Dead Raiser.
  • StaffDamage: The 'base' damage to each target hit by the staff sweeping attack. Will be adjusted by modifiers, skill, resistances, etc.
  • AddElementalDamage: Add this percent of 'base' damage as elemental damage for melee attacks with Elemental Magic staffs. Staffs still do blunt damage if set to 0, or not enough Eitr is available. Costs this much Eitr per attack.
