Valheim - Adding new Console Commands (Low Spec Gamer)

For context, check out the video by LowSpecGamer

To add console to commands to Valheim we're gonna need a program called dnSpy. dnSpy allows you to make edits to .net based programs after they've already been compiled. this also goes for Unity based games such as Valheim.

You can download the latest release of dnSpy here. 

https://github.com/dnSpy/dnSpy/releases 

After it's downloaded extract the zip to a new folder. put it someplace you can get to it. After that open dnSpy.exe

Once it's open we can go to File>Open and browse to our Valheim folder. in most cases it's going to be in your Steam Directory. then. 

 \steamapps\common\Valheim\valheim_Data\Managed

Then open assembly_valheim.dll

On the left click the Arrow to Expand assembly_valheim > assembly_valheim.dll > Then the { }

This is a list of all the calls in the game, what we're looking for is one called Console, once you find it expand it. then click on it.

After that we need to scroll down after the code for the FOV command (if (array[0] == "fov")). our new code is going to sit between the } (closing bracket) and the if (ZNet.instance) lines. to make edits we need to Right Click and click Edit Method (C#)

We can then make a new line and Paste in the code from the pastebin here (https://pastebin.com/L4H6RDtv) to add the new commands. you can also follow the format and add new commands if you like and know how to code.
otherwise click Compile on the lower right.

If everything is fine you should be returned to the previous window with no errors. if you do get errors make sure you didn't break the syntax by pasting in the wrong place, or alternatively close everything and try again.

After that we can go to File > and Save Module and everything should be complete! you're now ready to startup the game and test. Press F5 to access the console. Then Type the new commands. 

For a full (Default) command list. you can check out this link here.

By doing this edit we get the following new commands.
shadowdistance 

shadowcascades

pixellights 

softparticles

clutterdist

cluttergrasssize

clutteramount

clutterenabled

dofmax

dofmin

forcedof

All of them require a number after the command just typing the command should give you the syntax needed such as dofmax 100, or clutterenabled 0

If something goes wrong and you wish to revert back. Verifying your install on steam will replace any modified files back with the originals. This can be done by Right clicking the game on the Game list in steam. Then Properties > then Local Files and finally clicking the Verify Integrity of Game Files
