NorseDemigodsPovBridge

NorseDemigodsPovBridge

Makes Norse Demigods abilities scale with the Path of Valheiman passive tree.

Put points into spell, elemental, weapon, healing or minion nodes and your demigod abilities grow with them: damage, tooltips-by-the-game, healing and summons. Nothing else to configure for a normal setup.

Requirements

• Path of Valheiman (tested with 5.3.6)
• Norse Demigods (tested with 1.8.1)

Only you (the local player) benefit; the other players do not need this mod.

What it does

• Damage – each ability asks Path of Valheiman for its damage bonus as it applies to that ability. A Fireball counts Fire + Spell + Projectile + Staff nodes, Frost Nova counts Frost + Area, and so on. Nodes that don't fit are ignored.
• Healing and summons – healing uses your healing nodes, summons use your minion nodes.
• Crit (optional) – CritMode = ExpectedValue multiplies damage by the average effect of Path of Valheiman's crit stats (a steady average, no random crits). Off by default.
• Claw swipe – Norse Demigods gives claws the slashing swipe only for Fenrir. This gives it to every claw weapon you use, whatever demigod you play. Needs neither of the other mods.
• Cap – the bonus one ability can gain is capped (default +150%). Change or turn it off in the config.

Configuration

Edit OblitusEs.DemigodsPovBridge.cfg, or use the BepInEx Configuration Manager.

| Setting | Default | | |---|---|---| | General > ScalingMode | Scoped | Scoped, StatNames or ScopedPlusNamed | | General > CritMode | Off | Off or ExpectedValue | | General > CapBonus / MaxBonus | on / 1.5 | largest bonus added to one ability | | Damage > Stats | DamagePct:1 | general damage stat(s) | | Healing > Stats | HealingEffectPct:1 | | | Summons > Stats | MinionDamagePct:1 | | | Claws > ClawSwipe | on | | | Claws > ExtraClawWeapons | empty | prefab names that should always get the swipe | | Routes > Ability... | see below | one line per ability |

Routes

Every ability has a route that decides which kind of nodes boost it, e.g. AbilityFireball = SpellElemental. Combine routes and element tags with commas: AbilityTornado = SpellElemental, Lightning, Area.

Routes: SpellElemental, SpellBlood, Staves, Scepters, EquippedWeapon, Swords, Knives, Clubs, Polearms, Spears, Axes, Unarmed, Bows, Crossbows, NoCategory, Off (leave the ability as Norse Demigods made it). Element/shape tags: Fire, Frost, Lightning, Poison, Spirit, Physical, Projectile, Area, Minion.

Weapon waves (Slash, Cleave, Whirlwind ...) use the weapon in your hand. Infused Arrow uses Bows. The wolf is Off by default. Passive attribute damage (Bear Strength, Flame Body ...) is Off by default (Routes > AttributeProcs).

Good to know

• The Abilities panel from NorseDemigodsUI works out its own numbers and keeps showing the unboosted value. Real hits are boosted. The damage you deal is what counts.
• If Path of Valheiman already boosts a Norse Demigods hit by itself, part of a node can be counted twice. Check with Diagnostics > LogHits, and remove DamagePct from Damage > Stats if you see it.
• The bridge reads Path of Valheiman's internals by reflection. If a Path of Valheiman update changes them, the bridge logs a warning and falls back to StatNames.

Troubleshooting

Turn on Diagnostics > LogDamageValues, LogRouting, LogScopedCompare and, after a restart, LogHits in the config and share the BepInEx log (LogOutput.log).

Credits

• Alpus – Norse Demigods
• treextr – Path of Valheiman
• Daytreee – the "DemigodPOV Bridge" for Hexium showed that this combination was worth doing. This mod is an independent implementation and shares no code with it.
