7 Days to Die mod: Reset player progress after dying under a configurable set of circumstances

amnesia's Issues

🖼 Improve Buff Icons

Icons aren't informative enough at a glance and players have been reporting confusion around what they mean

❤️‍🩹 Prevent Memory Harm from Mine or Turret Deaths

As a blanket rule, I could prevent memory impact whenever the player is killed by any mine or turret.

💬 Add Opt-In Mode

On some servers, players might not all want to participate in Amnesia's features. For those situations, Opt-In mode provides players interested in engaging with this feature certain benefits at the cost of having a limited number of lives before being reset.

Upon reset, players will return to level 1 and whatever other options set by the admin, but will be removed from the limited lives mechanic.

The XP multiplier while enrolled in Opt-In mode can be set by the admin.

🧠 Reset to Skills Acquired at Start Level

Description

Instead of resetting and freeing up skill points (free forgetting elixir effect), record the 49th skill point set (or record at player level 50?) and apply that config upon reset.

Tasks

• Record each skill invested by each player to files
• Save skill progress to a file, load it from a file
• Allow viewing of each skill via console
• Track unspent skill points
  • wait... a final sync package sends when the player dies, right? So... we don't need to track this during gameplay, right?
  • except for... perhaps the forgetting elixir effect? If this is fired from the server, does this mess things up? Shouldn't. Only rewinding should care about currently unused skill points; full memory reset would calculate total skill points expected.
• Update reset pattern to roll back to a given level, first consuming unspent points, then consuming spent points
• Add integrity check on player data file sync
• Reset with core tools, then replay skills chosen, spending as many skill points as able

Gold Plating?

• Add console commands to add x, remove x levels
• Add reconciliation logic for moments when the server failed to record updates?
• Track skill points added via game events?
• Track skill points added via quests?

🆕 Add Support for A21

7DTD A21 Experimental hasn't been released yet, but I plan to have support for A21 ready in time for the general release of the game.

♻️ Add minimum level value that can be upgraded only by reaching level 300

🔬 Instead, what if the player who reaches 300 automatically resets to something like level 50 and this is his new minimum level forevermore?
🔄 each time the player reaches 300, an extra x levels are added to his minimum count. That would extend the game to last far longer even for driven players.
🎖️ This could perhaps be represented as some kind of Prestige value somewhere for other players to see.
🏆 This way, players "always" have something to work toward

🔫 Prevent loss of lives from PVP kills

Might include this as an option, but discouraging PVP is usually a horrible idea.

Drop style would be based on server's rules. So if the server is set to drop the backpack, that's all that would drop on death.

⚙ Add Debug Toggle

Being able to enable debug logging should be helpful into the future.

🔢 Wipe death and kill counts on final death

⚙️ Add Admin Command: Give/Remove Fragile Memory Debuff

⏱ Add grace period for protection after BloodMoon

💀 Change death text to inform player of what to expect based on remainingLives

More Lives Remaining

Hours later you awake in a familiar place. Groggy and sore from you recent adventure, you wonder how you ever managed to make it back alive.

This server provides a set number of lives before total character deletion and this requires you to evaluate every risky situation more realistically. You have x/y Remaining Lives and are about to use one to return from the brink of death. You can Recover Lives by visiting Trader Jen and paying for her experimental rejuvenation treatments.

About to be Wiped

Darkness closes in around you as everything - even your own body - begins to feel more and more distant. You know you won't be coming back.. not this time.

IMPORTANT: If you were just killed due to game glitches, or suspect another player of defeating you with hacking or exploits, DO NOT RESPAWN. Instead, reach out to an admin. After investigating your admin may decide it's appropriate to provide you with another life to prevent your character from resetting.

🔼 Add buff to boost xp gain for a while after memory wipe

Hopefully this will help to encourage players to keep going after wipe.

♻️ Lose Configurable Number of Levels on Reset

Description

🎉 Thanks to Waymaran#4137 (Discord) for this idea!

... could you put another option that subtracts 10 lvl when you die? In other words, you can configure so many lvl that you lose when you die. Eg I would configure that 10 lvl is lost when dying successively unless you use the booster pill. Thanks, I'm just asking.

Also determine titles to accompany player names in chat.

📝 Add buff explaining lives mechanic

General Buff (Informational)

When a player dies, this buff can show for some period of time.

It will provide guidance to seek out Trader Jen to receive intense treatment to restore lives (for money, a level, and the loss of a random assigned skill point or loose skill point - a feature to be added later).

👜 Add support for bag drop control based on remaining lives

For example...

Lives Remaining	Drop On Defeat
2/2	Drop Nothing
1/2	Drop Backpack Only
0/2	Drop Everything

💭 Might have to actually simulate bag drop and inventory manipulation since trying to feed spoofed GameStat changes are tough to do on time (tricks player into thinking server configs are different from what they actually are).

⚙️ Adjust Workflow for Memory Loss

Current

1. Once player exceeds the long-term memory threshold, dying causes memory loss
2. Player can use Trader Jen's Memory Booster to add Hardened Memory buffs which operates similar to a one-time shield against memory loss

flowchart LR
    natural[[Natural]]-->incap[[Incapacitated]]
    natural-->|use memory booster|hard[[Hardened Memory]]
    hard-->incap-->|hardened|natural
    incap-->|not hardened|amnesia[Lose Memory, Reset to Level 50]
    amnesia-->natural

Planned

1. Players will receive a long-term ailment/debuff called "Fragile Memory" upon death once they have reached the long-term-memory threshold. Player who dies with Fragile Memory will experience Memory Loss (and keep Fragile Memory)
2. Player can use Trader Jen's Memory Booster to cure Fragile Memory (and this explanation will be included in the Fragile Memory debuff description for reference any time).

    incap-->|fragile|amnesia[Lose Memory, Reset to Level 50]

    amnesia-->fragile
    fragile-->incap

    fragile-->|use memory booster|natural

Why the Change?

The current flow is confusing players and there isn't a natural way to warn players when Amnesia activates. This adjustment will serve both purposes: giving players a warning, and also fitting within the existing "injury/ailment needs a cure" workflow that players are already used to.

🚋 Buff/Debuff during final life (most risk)?

Final Life (Best Life?)

In the final stage (living your final life), this buff will show all the time and possibly flash.

This final stage will provide certain benefits (which can be disabled/enabled by admin) possibly coming from within this list:

• steep bonus to xp gained (2x? 3x? - to be set by admin)
• bonus critical/dismemberment chance? (zombies)
• low boost to hp recovery?
• maybe bonus discount for services purchased/sold?
• greatly reduced chance of breaking leg?
• boost chance of finding ammo?
• boost chance of finding healing items?
• boost change of finding coins?

🔨 Fix Positive Outlook Bonus XP Color

⚔️ Remove Quests the Right Way! 🎉

Found out a very likely approach to removing quests!
Server will be reading player data already on death.
Instead of having to disconnect player so player can come back with manipulated player data file... the server can send the player a console command to have the player's client issue the command instead (which is supported).

ConnectionManager.Instance.Clients.ForEntityId(player.entityId)
?.SendPackage(NetPackageManager.GetPackage<NetPackageConsoleCmdClient>().Setup($"removequest {questId}", true));

📘 Include option to allow skills learned from schematics to perma-unlock

• Level (Default: Reset to 1)

• XP to Next Level (Default: Reset to 0)

• XP Deficit (Default: Reset to 0)

• Unspent Skill Points (Default: Reset to 0)

• Learned Skills (Default: Unlearn All)

• Crafting Recipes (Default: Unlearn All)

• Book Collection (Default: Forget All)

• Current Quests (Default: Remove All)

• Trader Progress (Default: Reset)

• Map Explored (Default: ?)

• Map Waypoints (Default: ?)

• Sleeping Bag Position (Default: Retain)

• LCB Ownership (Default: Retain)

• Current Party (Default: Remain)

• Allies/Friends (Default: Keep)

💻 Move player remaining lives to server's end to prevent hacking?

Probably doesn't matter though. Cheaters can spawn in any items they want via creative menu and can just give themselves max levels in a few seconds.
