thank you for your knowledge :D

No it's not. Some C# code of the level I can write is certainly not a waste of time, if it makes the game controls better.

Granted, I didn't modify Unity Engine, but I have enough experience with GTK 3.0 and QT to say that the button is only a means to fire an event.

This can be done with any other button and mouse wheels really aren't special in this regard. The spinning wheel simply causes a quick succession of wheel-up or wheel-down signals. The game engine has an event loop listener, that executes actions depeding on the input signal.

Besides, Unity Engine also has Cities:Skylines, which was made by 12 people and supported rebinding zoom-in and zoom-out camera controls from day one. I swapped mouse wheel for keyboard wihtout issue there, so it's not impossible.

Looking into its documentation[docs.unity3d.com], Unity seems to support mouse, keyboard and controller input by default. Though they built a SrollHandler class into the engine to handle scroll wheel input. It should be possible to convert the scroll wheel movement into Unity input type.
This article[www.programmersought.com] describes it in some detail. I may look into this more in-depth, but I'd need a way to send the findings to the developers.

Still, I'll probably have to recompile the dll in the short to medium term.

Same my scroll is broken and I can't rotate things...

1) You can use controller (just for rotating, and for the rest K+M)
2) You can edit the button in the game files

\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\valheim_Data\Managed\assembly_valheim.dll
public class Player : Humanoid
private void UpdatePlacement(bool takeInput, float dt)

Either replace those 2 or add next to them
Instead of left/right alt you can use different buttons.

hi, thanks for your answer. Could you tell me how to edit the file? I didn't find how to do it

i'm using program called "dnSpy"
I have heard that "Visual studio" works too

generally any program that allows to edit C# should do


in dnspy once you find the mentioned method you right click -> edit method
once you do your job you right click -> compile

it's hard to control the rotation but it works and that's the most important. Thank you very much for your help!!

thank you for your knowledge :D

Thank you so much. I don't know why the developers don't want users to be able to rebind the mouse wheel through the user interface, but this will now be my method of choice. Thank you. You saved Valheim for me.

Add to an existing comment about keybinds in the suggestion forums. Devs, especially small ones often don't think of many things, such as rebinding everything, because it never occurred to their small team. It's like they likely don't have anyone who is coloblind on the team because for us colorblind folks the mushrooms and berries can be bloody invisble as they blend in with everything else. Accessibility options are often things devs don't think about unless it is brought up to them.

I don't think that unity has easy way to implement this
It looks like buttons and mouse wheel are as different as birds and humans
they are both alive, but you can't really swap them

long story short, it's just pain in the butt and waste of time to make it
small devs usually use what's prepared already by the engine and leave it be while they focus on drinking game
