Auto Walk Extended

Auto Walk Extended is a mod which allows you to toggle walking/sprinting and sneaking. It also has an option to step up single block without jumping. In other words, it implements functionalities commonly known as autowalk, autorun, autosneak, autosprint, autoswim and stepup.

I created this mod because holding a single key down for extended periods can result health issues such as inflammation of the tendons and reduced circulation. Sitting for hours is not beneficial either but it's a different topic with a proposed mitigation.

As this purely a quality-of-life mod which doesn't modify the world you can add and remove it anytime.

This mod does not contain any content or code generated by artificial intelligence.

Features

• A dedicated key control for toggling auto walk (default V)
• Walk controls deactivate auto walk, and transitions from manual walk to auto walk and back are seamless
• Chat, world map and inventory can be used during auto walk
• Works with mounts like rafts and boats
• Works with custom controls, including extra mouse buttons
• Option to make sneaking toggleable (disabled by default)
• Option to walk single block uphill without jumping (disabled by default)
• Compatible with sprint toggle which is a built-in feature of Vintage Story

Configuration

Auto walk key binding can be changed in the game settings (Settings > Controls) when world has been started.

After you start a world the mod also creates client-side configuration file ModConfig/AutoWalkExtended.json in Vintage Story data folder. You should exit the game first before editing the file. The file contains the following options:

• SneakHotkeyToggle: When set to true changes the sneak control to toggle sneaking (default false).
• AutoClimbUphill: When set to true enables walking uphill without jumping (default false).
• WalkForwardStopsAutoWalk: When set to true the walkforward control deactivates auto walk but continues manual walk (default true). Value false keeps auto walk active even when the walkforward control is pressed.

 

To activate sprint toggle in the base game change Settings > Accessibility > Toggle Sprint.

Compatilibity

This mod is incompatible with any mod which modifies walking, sneaking or sprinting. There are also some other issues with the following mods:

• Bark Canoe ‒ paddling animation does not work (yet)

Roadmap

• Conditional autoclimb
• ConfigLib support
