3.0.0 is released. I have separated the cartography skill and the spyglass into two separate mods, the former of which can be downloaded here: https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/394
What is the update doing? I have zero issues with the previous version. Do I have to change?
I found a second use for the spyglass. It is like a sniper scope. Basically zoom in, place your cursor and change to bow without moving the mouse. It needs practise, but for advanced shooters it will work for tricky shots.
There's a changelog on the file itself and in mod description. I primarily updated the version of ServerSync bundled into the mod as the previous version had trouble when crossplay was enabled in multiplayer as of game version 0.220.3.
I use it a lot. It works well with long range mage weapons. Main issue is of course that it does not show critters, which do not show because of distance. I was seeing a Mistland mine stair, which appeared empty. When I was flying in all the critters appeared. Not sure if that could be fixed.
I would recommand to change the standard setting to middle mouse buttom so that the right mouse buttom stays free for parry or shield. I practise club with the spyglass in earlyer biomes. But a shield is nice when playing with trolls.
This one is a little tougher for me to test for, but I'll start investigating right away. Thanks for the report.
Edit: Found the cause. This is actually a problem that plagued the original version of the mod but I never had the resources to diagnose it. I'll have a fix out shortly.
uhmm greetings it's me again... we found another bug... it happens that when a player dies, then he can't re-equip any weapon or tool, and if he can, it becomes unusable. we have to reload to remove the bug, but when we die again the same thing happens
Hello again, I'm sorry you're having trouble. This new bug appears be a side effect of the 1 line of code I added to fix the previous issue. I should have time to develop a better fix later tonight.
Couldn't tell you. It passes Nexus scans and is available on Nexus and Thunderstore atm. Windows Defender sometimes doesn't like mods that ILRepack other mods into it, like we all do with ServerSync. Especially on Windows 11 for some reason.
