Viking VTuber Companion

Play Valheim with your currently loaded VTube Studio avatar reacting beside the game. Version 0.3.0 adds client-side multiplayer compatibility: join your friend's existing server through Valheim's normal Join Game menu. Friends and server operators do not need the companion plugin.

Your avatar reacts to your own damage, death, wolf hits, combat, credited boss kills, freezing, burning, food, sleeping, thunder, tree chopping and falling, empty stamina, blocking, treasure, boss encounters and the first credited kill. Other players' personal damage, death, food and stamina are ignored. Temporary flames, ice tint, sweat, sparkles, celebration, shield, battle, food, sleep and surprise effects clean up afterward. No added audio.

Uses the current model's available tracking controls; full-body poses are approximated. Requires installed Valheim and VTube Studio. Enable VTube Studio's Plugin API and allow Viking VTuber Companion by ALOWKU on first connection. Melty installs BepInEx 5 and starts both applications. No automatic server hosting or custom matchmaking is added.

Multiplayer verification used an unmodified dedicated Steam server and a real connected local client: all 17 game hooks and 17 avatar deliveries passed, along with startup, connected-client ownership and other-player damage isolation. This controlled test does not claim a test on your particular friend's server or the Crossplay backend.
