Language / Jazyk / Sprache

English: The mod follows Valheim's language: English, Czech or German. Other languages use English for mod-owned text. Configuration Manager labels and descriptions are translated; prefab names and configuration keys remain stable. Custom quest text belongs to its author and is not automatically translated. See LOCALIZATION.md in the package.

Česky: Mod používá jazyk Valheimu: angličtinu, češtinu nebo němčinu. Ostatní jazyky použijí pro texty modu angličtinu. Názvy a popisy v Configuration Manageru jsou přeložené; názvy prefabů a klíče konfigurace se nemění. Vlastní texty questů jsou obsahem autora a automaticky se nepřekládají. Podrobnosti jsou v LOCALIZATION.md v balíčku.

Deutsch: Die Mod folgt der Valheim-Sprache: Englisch, Tschechisch oder Deutsch. Andere Sprachen verwenden Englisch für mod-eigene Texte. Namen und Beschreibungen im Configuration Manager sind übersetzt; Prefab-Namen und Konfigurationsschlüssel bleiben gleich. Eigene Questtexte stammen vom jeweiligen Autor und werden nicht automatisch übersetzt. Einzelheiten stehen in LOCALIZATION.md im Paket.

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350.
• GearAndStorage 0.5.17 or newer with its quest integration API.
• Install the same spawner and GearAndStorage versions on the server and all clients. This is not a server-only mod.

The mod manager installs the dependencies. This package contains only the spawner DLL; it does not bundle another GearAndStorage copy. Epic Loot is not required.

Hunting zones

• Each unfinished kill objective gets its own personal map circle when suitable terrain can be found in the configured distance range, 500–1000 metres by default, from where the quest becomes active.
• Vanilla creatures use strict native biome assignments, while unlisted modded creatures use their loaded natural spawn rules. The search also checks terrain rules, visits nearer samples first with 25-metre radial steps, and does not load distant terrain just to spawn enemies.
• The selected biome is saved with the zone and checked for every creature spawn. A circle crossing a biome border cannot place its creatures on the wrong side. Old zones with an invalid biome are removed and automatically located again.
• Aquatic targets such as leeches select water inside their native biome and honor the creature's natural minimum and maximum water depth. The player may activate the circle from any point inside it.
• Spawns begin only while the owner of the active quest is inside the circle, after a short streaming delay. Other players may join and fight after activation, but do not activate an inactive zone.
• Leaving pauses new spawns. Completing the kill objective, abandoning or completing the quest removes the circle and stops its spawns.
• Every spawner-created creature killed by any player inside its circle counts as one kill for that circle's objective, including stronger relatives and minibosses. Both the killer and victim must be inside. Ordinary world creatures keep GearAndStorage's normal prefab-based credit rules.
• Creatures are part of the shared world and visible to other players. A party member can kill a creature spawned for the quest owner; the kill advances the owner's quest once.
• Leftover creatures despawn after about 60 seconds without their active owner, or after wandering over 25 metres beyond the circle. Cleanup gives no kill credit or drops. Unloaded creatures are cleaned up when streamed back in.
• Live population is capped. After remote death or cleanup the conservative population record may delay replacements by up to 90 seconds.
• Zones persist with the character for the current world and quest attempt. A reaccepted quest gets a fresh attempt; old enemies do not advance it.

Difficulty in mod configuration

Edit BepInEx/config/mkova.GaSQuestSpawner.cfg, or use Configuration Manager. There is no separate difficulty menu in the game world. In multiplayer all gameplay settings come from the server. Clients mirror those values and cannot override them while connected. Restart after editing server configuration files.

• Normal: mostly basic creatures with some stronger relatives, such as shamans in greyling hunts, randomly 0–1 stars. Up to 14 ordinary creatures alive; batches of 3 every 11 seconds.
