@Computer Wizard glad you enjoy it! looking forward to B42

I understand, great mod btw. One of my favorites!

@Computer Wizard i am not sure if it is compatible at the moment, but once 42 becomes stable i will look into updating.

Will you be updating this to b42, or is it already compatible with b42?

this combined with hordes every 7 days, and many others, though these are the main tools for giving longevity to our mid-late game. Dying sucks, but being able to come back a bit stronger is a sort of incentive to keep going. Likewise 800+ hordes every week gives a terrifying challenge.

we play with sprinters so death is omnipresent

@spobely glad you think so!

this is one of the best mods

@GamerESP should be able to make adjustments if you use the sandbox settings

NO configure options for SINGLE-PLAYER ????

@both willing AND able good to hear!

thanks man, i think i'm gonna throw it into my new game

it should be fixed now, from the tests i ran it was fine. i don't know if anyone else has encountered any problems, been quite for awhile

this mod used to have a lot of problems with giving the wrong number of points... is it squared away now? thinking about getting back into using this mod

thank you so much, I needed that

I see. Thanks for clarifying!

@Agitatio it is based on how long you have survived, shouldn’t relate to the total time passed in the game. That could work if you survived and started since the game began

Haven't used your mod in a while. Isn't it setup the way I described by default already? Default config gives 1 point every 2 days. Let's say the world had 14 days pass since the start already. Does that mean a newly joining player will get 7 extra points?

@Agitatio That is actually something I left up to server owners, you can adjust bonus points if you want for incoming players. I ran a server for awhile and updated the bonus points every week. I did make a Life & Living Compensation Mod that gives new players on old running servers the ability to read a magazine that granted bonus XP as if they had watched all the shows.

I was always under the impression that this simply granted bonus trait points depending on how much time passed since the start, not how long each player survived? That way late joiners can get a bit of a headstart.

Ah I see, thanks for the explanation!

I am going to set it to 1 point every 1 day, my players can then use the "days survived" to determine how many points they have earned.

Many thanks for the mod i've subscribed for updates hopefully we can get a display to remind people to push further and further but no drama's if not!

@Obi Wan Kenobi

So, the default is 1 point every 2 days, so you should have after 2 days 9 points unless this has been altered from the default.

Death Resets means that after you die, it clears your bonus point accumulation, resetting you back to 0. This prevents someone from dying multiple times and accumulating all the bonus points.

That is something I could implement if there is a desire for that, but currently there is no display of how many bonus points that have been accumulated.

I love the idea of this mod and thank you for making it!, I have a few questions.

I have set the points granted to one per day, but after starting as unemployed (8 points) and surviving 2 days when creating a new character I had 13 points to spend.

Is this correct or should I have 10 points to spend?

Also, can someone elaborate on the Death Resets Bonus Points setting? I am having difficulty understanding what this setting does.

Finally, is there a way to see how many bonus points you have earned before you die?

Thanks to anyone that takes the time to help me and thanks for a wonderful mod.

thx!!

Only if you survive. You can provide bonus points that are applied to everyone upon their first death though.

Do you only accumulate the points as you survive? Or will someone entirely new joining later on just start with a bunch of free points?

What are the default parameters set for MP? My brother got this for his server but didn't configure the settings at all, so we're curious.

this is a smart concept. Glad you made it happen. Big thanks man

finally i can play project zomboid like an rpg

You need Mod Options for both MP and SP.

Do we need to use Mod Options to customize this for both MP and SP? Some mods say to use sandbox options for MP. No clue why, so wanted to confirm

You are welcome, one of the subtle differences between SP & MP.

Thank you! Had this issue on my mind for at least a month but only now bothered reporting it.

@Agitatio this has been corrected now

Throws an error every time I join or host an MP game: https://pastebin.com/tzZTb1L6

I think it might also have been the setting to reset points on death or whatever.

@Abrasyve this has been corrected

When I make a third character my points are doubled. Is there any way to stop this?

Yup, i think that may be the cause. I run it on default settings so i'll tweak them later and then see if that fixed the issue. Thanks for the assistance!

@HOODINI do you happen to know your settings? running just the base default i noticed that I did not gain any points upon death. one though that occurs to me is that you may be on a MP server/SP game that has progressed a certain number of days. if you don't put a limit on the expected number of days the character has to survive they will gain the bonus points.

what settings are you using to get the +5 points?

I noticed that dying just gives you points regardless of days survived. The system works fine but it's pretty easy to cheese because you can just commit suicide and gain +5 points even if the character only survived for 10 minutes

this error has been fixed to prevent fresh new characters from invoking an error

you can progress normally, the error only occurs the first time you create a new character

and does it mean that i will start from scratch?
or i can create my character at first then progress with?

i have an error about the mod on multiplayer modded, i am not sure how i can find the errors easily at all, it just says that the only mod that has error is this one

okay neat, thanks!

yeah, that error is ignorable. it seems to happen only once when you first join/create a game. basically you haven't survived any hours if you have just been created.

is this stack trace error ignorable? I started a new world after getting back into PZ and going through all the mods to see what still works in the current patch. walking around fine and all, have not yet died to get to the point of this mods features yet though

oh, you mean your zombified self?
