Valheim Too Many Emotes

Features

More than 300 emotes ported from TooManyEmotes for Lethal Company by FlipMods (version 2.3.17): waves, cheers, dances and poses, played on your viking on top of its usual animation. Some emotes have several variants and play one at random each time (Death Pose, Rock Paper Scissors), and some are bands whose parts players can play together (Jug Band, Travelers).

All emotes are available from the start.

The emote wheel

Open the game's emote wheel as usual (emote key, or Emotes in the radial menu). It first asks which emotes you want:

• Valheim: the vanilla emotes, exactly as before.
• Too Many Emotes: the Too Many Emotes wheel.

The Too Many Emotes wheel can also be opened directly with its own key (Open key, by default the key under Escape: ` on QWERTY, ² on AZERTY). Hold it, point at an emote and release to play it; or tap it and click.

In the Too Many Emotes wheel:

• Point at an emote and click to play it. The centre shows a live preview of the emote under

the cursor, played by a copy of your viking. Clicking the centre stops the current emote.

• Mouse wheel (or the arrows under the wheel): previous / next page.
• Tab (or the names above the wheel): switch list: Favorites, All emotes, Valheim,

Too Many Emotes.

• F: adds the emote under the cursor to the favorites, or removes it.
• B: opens the emote browser. Right click: back to the first wheel. Escape: close.
• Gamepad: right stick to point, the radial interact button to play, d-pad left / right for pages,

d-pad up for the lists, d-pad down for favorites.

A band shows once as a whole (it takes the first part nobody near you is playing, in time with the others), then once per part ("Jug Band - Fiddle"). Emote names are translated in English and French.

The emote browser

A window with a search field and four tabs: Favorites, All emotes, Valheim (the vanilla emotes) and Too Many Emotes. Click a name to play the emote, tick the box on its left to make it a favorite. Stop ends the current emote, Escape closes the window.

Open it from the Too Many Emotes wheel (B), with the /tme chat command, or with a key of your choice (Browser key option, none by default).

Chat and console commands

• /tme: opens or closes the browser.
• /tme <emote>: plays an emote, by name (/tme best mates, /tme a_bar_song). Tab completes.
• /tme stop: stops the current emote.

During an emote

• The same inputs as for the vanilla emotes end it: moving, attacking, blocking, jumping,

crouching. Dodging, swimming, falling, staggering, sitting down or using a bed or a ship do too.

• What you hold is put away when the first emote starts, and taken back in hand when you stop

emoting (unless you equipped something else meanwhile). Switching emotes keeps it put away.

• A vanilla emote replaces a Too Many Emotes emote and vice versa; you can start one while sitting.
• The emote's own movement stays in the animation: your viking does not slide.

Multiplayer

Emotes are synced through the player's network data, like the vanilla emotes: the other players see your emotes, and a player who joins or comes near sees the emotes already in progress, at the right moment. Bands play in time. Every player who wants to see the emotes needs the mod; a player without it simply sees nothing. A dedicated server does not need the mod.

Options

In BepInEx/config/Tchernobill.Valheim_TooManyEmotes.cfg, or in game with a configuration manager:

• Hide hand items (default on): put away what you hold during emotes.
• Browser key (default none): a key that opens the browser.
• Favorites: the list of favorites (managed from the wheel and the browser).
• [Wheel] Open key (default: the key under Escape): opens the Too Many Emotes wheel directly.
• [Wheel] Favorite key (default F) and Browser key (default B): keys used in the wheel.
• [Wheel] Emotes per page (default 12, 6 to 16).
• [Wheel] Preview (default on): the live preview in the centre of the wheel.

Known limitations

• About twenty emotes were designed with a prop (an instrument, a chair...) that is not included:

they are played without it.

• The emote music of the original mod is not included.
• Some emotes were made for a slimmer body than a viking's: arms can go through the body or the

armour at times.

The emotes (and the idea) come from TooManyEmotes 2.3.17 by FlipMods (MIT licence, see THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md). This is an independent port with code written for Valheim; it is not affiliated with FlipMods.
