Support Me!

Thank you to everyone who have used my mods during early access. All of your feedback and support has made the hundreds of hours sunk into these projects worth it. Even though modding has never really paid out in cash it has rewarded me with friends, community, and even more fun times! To all of you who have bought me coffees over the years, I am extremely grateful for your kindness!

If you would like to keep supporting the development and maintenance of my mods you can buy me a coffee through the image link below.

Looking for a Valhiem server? I have partnered with Survival Servers to get you 25% off with the code `VALHEIM25`! Order through the link by clicking on the image below and I will get a portion of the proceeds. You get a server to play with your friends and I can go buy some more of that sweet sweet coffee to keep the mods working!

Features

This is a roleplaying mod aimed at making in-game experiences more realistic. Come across a player in a full padded armor set? Well I wouldn't be able to tell who they are either! Configure the display name of these mystery characters with the HiddenDisplayName config, and pick which items can hide a player name with HiddenByItems config. Players will have to take off their items to reveal their identities! Good luck knowing who robbed you!

If you wish to hide the entire player hud (as if that player is sneaking) set the HideHud configuration to True.

Currently, equipped helmet, shoulder, utility, and trinket items are supported. Will work with custom items added by other mods given they are of one of these categories.

Vanilla Helmet Prefabs (Not a complete list)

  • HelmetBronze
  • HelmetTrollLeather
  • HelmetBerserkerHood

  • HelmetFlametal

Installation

All players will have to have this mod installed for hidden names to work 100% of the time. Any player who does not have this installed will not have their name hidden (even for players with the mod installed).

This mod needs to be on all clients to work properly. Config Syncing is included with Jotunn. Install on the server to enforce the same mod configuration for all players.

Contributing

All issues can be reported on Discord or on the project Github. To report issues please be as specific as possible and provide the following:

  1. Mod name and version with the issue.
  2. The Bepinex\Logoutput.log file when the issue occurred (Or at least a list of all other mods being used)

All feedback, ideas, and requests are welcome! You can message me at my discord Venture Gaming.
