Albion's Reworked Respawn Penalty (DEPRECATED)

The way CS mods load has been overhauled, breaking this mod, and recent changes to the vanilla game already address the issue this mod sought to fix.

A small rework of the Campaign respawn penalty to make it less impactful long-term without making death unpunishing. Requires Lua and CS for Barotrauma. Client-side Lua is not required: this mod runs entirely on the server.

After death, you will lose 75% of your skills and gain Reaper's Tax (if appropriate) as usual. However, you will gain your skills back at an increased speed, up to your original levels. You will not receive this boost if you have any amount of Reaper's Tax. If you die again before reaching your previous levels, the level you boost towards will decrease slightly.

This is to address an issue I have experienced where after a player dies, they want to just restart instead of respawning because of how long it will take for them to reach their previous skill levels. In addition, survivors feel guilty for fighting on, as they know their teammates lose out on skills. Fighting against the horrors is usually more fun, so this addresses this issue, without making death cheap: death is still punishing, and you still need to fight to survive.
