Resurrect Character [B42]

---

This mod can bring your dead character back to life.

The fact Project Zomboid characters face permanent death kept us all in a constant state of paranoia. That's why this mod solves the problem, letting you try all kinds of crazy stuff and take on the hardest mods ever with your year-old character!

With this mod, you can resurrect your character anytime by sacrificing some amount(RNG) of your Strength XP, which can be adjusted from 0% to 100% in the vanila Sandbox Options or using a (Change) Sandbox Options mod in game.

This mod can be safely added to your existing save files, and does not directly conflict with other mods.

This mod modifies a vanilla Java file, so it requires both a subscription and manual installation. Follow the installation instructions below carefully to manually install the mod.

Uninstallation can be done by verifying the integrity of game files through Steam (However, be aware that this process removes ALL mods that modify Java code, "the Java mods", so you’ll need to copy and paste them again afterward for any you want to keep.)

* After installing this mod, any save files of a dead character on the list in the LOAD menu will no longer have the skull icon. This means, loading such a save will not take you to the new character creation screen; instead, you can continue playing it as a normal save with an alive character.

* When the character respawns, everything except the health remains exactly as it was before death, including in-game time, traits, skill levels, acquired knowledge, and the number of zombies killed, etc. Actually, it revives the original character's own database, unlike other mods that save character data and overwrite onto the database of another character who's newly spawned in a different place.

* When the character resurrects, all items, including the bags, will remain on the previous corpse beneath the feet of the resurrected character who will respawn naked. You will need to retrieve them.

* In case you die while surrounded by a horde of zombies or get dragged down, you’ll need to run to a safe area quickly immediately after resurrecting unless you want to keep losing Strength XP.

Alternatively, and perhaps the better approach is, before exiting to resurrect, just to stay on the death screen for as long as needed until the surrounding zombies go away. Depending on their numbers, this may take a several minutes. You can fast-forward this using the hotkeys: F4 (5x), F5 (20x), and F6 (40x). Once they’re all gone, exit and restart the game. This will give you a better chance to recover your items from your corpse and escape safely after respawning.

* This mod provides two safe start features:

- Grace Time: During this time period any damages you take will be fully healed automatically. Its duration can be adjusted in the vanila Sandbox Options or using a (Change) Sandbox Options mod in game.

- Safe Zone: Safe start feature that removes all the zombies within 20 tiles of the player upon resurrection. By default, this feature is disabled, but you can activate it using either the Vanilla Sandbox options or the (Change) Sandbox Options mod.

* For saves with a skull icon, games where you died before installing this mod, you'll need to manually remove the skull icon. To do this, open the players.db file in your save folder using a database editor like SQLite, go to Browse Data under the View menu, and change the value of the isDead column from 1 to 0. (However, be sure to back up your save first, as any mistake with this database file can make your save unusable.)

Unlike saves created after installing this mod, if you load this manually edited save into a game, your character will die instantly. To bring the character back to life, you'll need to exit and restart the game again.
