Outdated Reduced Respawn Cost 2014-05-11

About
Another simple but handy utility mod, uploaded it because I could not find it anywhere after searching for it and it seemed to bother some people.


Compatibility
Will be compatible with any version of starbound* (previous and later) and any mod, because it merges with the configuration.

*Unless starbound drastically changes the folder data structure or the variable names

Installation instructions
Just unzip the folder inside of the zip into your "mods" folder, do NOT throw the zip in the mods folder or it won't work.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MULTIPLAYER:
Due to the nature of inventory management in Starbound, this mod will actually also work on multiplayer, so it can be seen as a cheat. If you don't want to cheat, just take it off when going online, if you don't mind... Well... Not my responsibility if you get into trouble for it on your favorite server, please be careful!


Customization
You can easily tailor this mod to your own needs if 10% does not please you.

Just open up the file "player.config" in the mod's folder with a text editor like notepad, you will see:

Code:

{
"__merge" : [],
  "reviveCost" : {
    "absolute" : 0,
    "percentile" : 10.0
  }
}

Absolute:
Adjust the number behind "absolute": so it will always subtract x amount of pixels regardless of your pixel count (currently 0, by default it is 1)

Percentage:
Adjust the number behind "percentile": to adjust the percentage that gets subtracted of your pixel count before death.

Formula (just for clarity so you understand what you are doing):
y = x*a% - b
x = pixels before death
y = pixels after death
a = number behind "percentile" (so a% is "a" divided by 100)
b = number behind "absolute"

Be careful, don't touch anything else, just the numbers!!! Make sure to use dots for decimals (for the percentage for instance), and DON'T remove (or add) commas anywhere or your game will crash!

Some remarks:
- Obviously... If you make it all 0, it means no pixel loss on death!
- Note that if you make the numbers negative, you will lose all of your pixels.. So please don't do that. Thanks to Pixelguru26 for testing this out.
- Also note that this is currently incompatible with the nightly builds.

That's all... Report if issues arise and let me know if this is a duplicate or not (I honestly searched a lot, could not find anything like it), have fun!
