Jumper

Remember countless visited locations (sorted by category) and jump (i.e., teleport) to them on the fly using your context menu. And if any players are within a square of your position, they can be brought with you!


This mod adds trait called "Jumper" that is required by default in order for players to have this ability. Please enable "Only Jumpers Survived" in your sandbox options if you would like to give everyone this ability.

You can also completely disable the ability to bring nearby players with a jumper in the sandbox options, or require players to be part of the same faction in order to group jump if that is more appropriate for your server.

Players can use Mod Options in order to adjust various settings in game:

1) Disable Sound Effects
2) Disable Custom Animation
3) Hide Origin Location
4) Hide Recent Locations
5) Prioritize Group Jumping in Menus
6) Limit Group Jumping to Faction Members
7) Activate Single Menu Mode

You can also hide various menu options, such as Rename, Move, and Forget. Please visit Mod Options in-game for more details.

Please note that other players will not currently hear your sound effect or see your animation. Expanding the animation to other clients may not be realistic and I am honestly unlikely to add this; I will, however, explore ways to play the sound effect for nearby players in a future update.


Feel free to fill your context menu with a range of locations organized by category. Locations in categories are permanent until you choose to forget them. Categories and locations can be freely renamed. Categories inserted within the Category Options menu of another category will appear directly below that category to allow a bit more freedom of organization. Finally, categories and locations can be freely moved up or down in their respective lists. Please note that there is a character limit based on the font size you are currently running when you add new categories or locations (the limit ranges from 19 to 23 characters); if your name gets cut off weirdly, just rename the category or location something shorter.


This mod will automatically remember where you are when the game first loads you into the game as a jumper (your "Origin"). It will also remember two of your recently visited locations (a "Recent Past" location and a "Distant Past" location); these will appear after you begin exploring, and will be updated automatically as you move around the map.

Works in both SP and MP, but local splitscreen with two Jumpers would cause location storage conflicts (I may improve this in the future, but programming for splitscreen will require a significant increase in my code complexity). As far as I know, this mod works with every anti-cheat protection enabled. Please let me know via the comments below if you believe you have discovered otherwise!


Using either G (by default) on a keyboard or Select (also known as Back or Share) on a controller, you can now teleport to your cursor on the world map. Ability must be enabled in sandbox options (as it is not ideal for most PvP servers for obvious reasons). The keyboard shortcut can be rebound in the UI section of Key Bindings in the Game Options menu. This ability is limited the same as any other ability in this mod; to use it, players must be jumpers, and they must have energy if you enable those features.


Using sandbox options, you may optionally enable the ability for jumpers to randomly jump to any survivor on the map, or, alternatively, any jumper on the map!


Your wishes have been granted! In large part thanks to Aronai (Arokha), who sent me a significant and well-written chunk of the logic via Discord, Jumper now has sandbox options that allow server owners to establish requirements and costs for jumping. You may now require players to have enough energy before jumping, and you can stop players from jumping if they are too hungry or thirsty or stressed. You can also use these requirements as costs; if you enable Jump Costs in sandbox options, a jump that requires you to have 20% of your endurance will also spend 20% of your endurance. Finally, you can set a pain threshold, beyond which jumpers are in too much pain to use their abilities.


Have you ever lost a zombified "ancestor" who happened to be carrying a real juicy Skill Recovery Journal? Wanna find that sucker faster? Play on a small server with just your homies who won't mind if you hunt all of their zombified ancestors on their behalf? Then you're in luck. Have the admin enable "Allow Jumpers to Find Zombified Players" in the sandbox options to add a context menu option for teleporting to a nearby "living" zombified player (dead bodies get removed from the search). This will make it much easier to find nearby player-zombies and recover your stuff.
