Permadeath: Killed in Action

Description
Agent permadeath.

This mod adds true permadeath to the campaign on the agent level. Agents that have been shot will eventually bleed out if not revived or returned to the jet - this duration is customisable and set to 7 turns by default. If killed, they will not respawn in Detention Centers. Pinning/dragging the downed agent with a friendly agent will freeze the timer. Using a Stim or Defibrilator Lance on a downed agent will reset the death timer, but not stop it.

The stakes have never been higher.

The exception to this are Central and Monst3r, for plot and bug prevention reasons, as they're required in the story missions.

Requires Sim Constructor by Cyberboy2000. (Yes, really.)

Special features:
If the "Red (from Transistor)" mod is enabled, an agent dying with Red on the team will grant you permanent benefits to your campaign, including (for mod agents) an algorithm you cannot access any other way.

No Deckers were (permanently) harmed in the making of this mod.

Why install this mod?
In the vanilla game, agent "death" is cheap and quite consequence-free: there's no limit to how long you can leave an agent in critical condition, even if it takes you a hundred turns to revive them or drag them to the exit, a strategy high skill players often abuse to a ridiculous extent. This mod adds a configurable and potentially permanent cost to getting an agent shot, while the ability to keep an agent stable by having another agent pin them introduces a strategic element. Also, more drama.

Hello, I wanted to point out a possible soft compatibility issue with the Neptune corporation mod. If instant death is enabled, and you are playing in a Neptune corporation map, the agent will indeed appear as killed on the screen, Central will comment on it, etc, but at mission ending the agent will be MIA instead of KIA (I dont mean the MIA that happens when the last agent present on the map is the one killed). Just mentioning it in case you are still modding and you would like to take a look at it. Thank you.

No, that's correct, it was a missing nil check. Thanks for letting me know, should be fixed now!

Hi Hekateras, I think I've came across a bug in your mod?
This is the log of the last crash, it's something about comparing nil with number?

At least i think it's in your mod, but with mod loader and other mods installed it's hard to tell.
Sorry if it turn out i'm mistaken, but figured i'd let you know.
Cool mod btw! :steamhappy:

Oh, cool! I'll start a new playthrough and check it out. Thanks for the tip! :P

Hi Putao, thanks for the feedback! Haha, yeah, I noticed that during testing, your guess is spot on. Guards just have a generic line for when they see a corpse and since corpses can only be guards in vanilla, that's what the line reflects.
By the way, if you didn't know, you can get some extra mileage out of Permadeath if you have the Transistor mod installed. Played right, you can actually get some benefits out of getting an agent killed.

Hey Hekateras,

Once again, a splendid mod! Thank you for taking the time to make it :steamhappy:
I've subscribed to this mod for a while now, but only just now taken advantage of the turns countdown to actually let my expendable agent bleed out.

This isn't a complaint at all, but I thought it was hilarious that a guard noticed and asked my dead agent if he was "all right?"
I'm guessing the code is similar to (or the same as) when a guard is discovered knocked out xD

Awesome thank you
Hekateras  [author] 12 May, 2019 @ 4:51am 
@Hunter
Yep. Next agent to show up in detention center would be a random one and not someone who just died.
Hunter 11 May, 2019 @ 10:41pm 
so does this mean other agents can spawn in your game now ? if one dies
Hekateras  [author] 27 Apr, 2019 @ 6:54pm 
Update: Pinning a dying agent with another agent now "freezes" the death timer, making it easier to save the agent in difficult situations such as when you've got the entire facility searching for you, and giving you more options.
