REVIVAL (Alternate Death Mechanics: Revive Your Friends, Live Again)

Description
Alternate Death Mechanics: Revive Your Friends, Live Again
Instead of dying immediately, players enter an incapacitated state where they can be revived by others. Depending on adjustable rules, if left unattended for a certain period, incapacitated players will either recover or die, potentially suffering a loss of skills. Death can still occur if the player receives excessive damage or through standard mechanics such as zombification if such options are enabled.

This mod aims to make death less final and enhances immersion by suggesting that perhaps the virus affects players differently - rather than turning into zombies, they remain fully conscious while their bodies and organs gradually recover to a functional state.

Tips
For best results, perform a Medical Check on a downed player and treat any wounds before attempting to revive them. The revival process can be slow, but players with higher First Aid skills can reduce the time required.

How it works
This mod introduces a state of incapacitation when a player's health falls below a specific threshold. In this state, all standard character actions are disabled. During the UI rendering phase, player health is adjusted to reflect the threshold as 0%, allowing the UI and most third-party mods to display the effective health percentage.

For even better chances of survival, increase 'Incapacitation Health' in your sandbox/server options. This will allow you to withstand larger reductions in damage without dying although it will take less damage overall to down a character. For an easier singleplayer experience, consider also increasing 'Recovery Health' or even 'Recovery removes injuries' to give you a better chance of being able to stay alive after getting back on your feet.

This mod can be added or removed from a game/server at any time.

any way to make it so you can carry a player?

Jaxe, it would be really great to have the option to link the doctor profession to a server. I'd love to have that in my server. Would you allow me to try editing and adding that? I can keep the mod hidden if needed.

@Vlask: Build 42 update will come when I can find some time.

@XoDollface: That shouldn't be happening.

@Arke: Yes you can lose skill points, though this can be disabled. I'll look more into book compatibility another time.

@Refúgio Z: Tied to the Doctor profession? Sounds interesting but I'm afraid I have no plans to lock it to a profession right now, but perhaps a minimum first aid skill option.

@SocietysGone: Yes unfortunately due to limitations of the game engine and the modding api, this mod cannot prevent death from excessive damage.

Hi Jaxe, I'm using the mod on my MP server. It would be really cool to have the revive option tied exclusively to the doctor profession. Would it be possible to have an active sandbox option for that?

Hello we've recently tried this mod, I am not quite sure if this is a intended feature but whenever a character gets revived it loses a part of it's skill right? if you've read the book for it (let's say carpentry 4) and it drops back to 6, you can't read carpentry 4 anymore and you're stuck grinding it the hard way as you can't get a multiplier anymore

I am running a server with other mods and with zombiefication on, whenever people die and choose to create a new character instead, they get stuck on the zombiefication screen. in order to create a new character they have to leave the server, go back to main menu and rejoin. is there anything i can do to fix that? or is that a bug?
