@Travin @Nicodemus I sure do.
Found out the "Just Sleep" Mod fixes this.

Buuuuut, when I died for the first time now and wanted to respawn with the same name I was naked, lost all my skills though I set this off and did not respawn where I had saved (did choose the wrong town in the menu though)

@Kleementin do you have any other mods?
Kleementin 2 Feb @ 10:06am 
I just installed your plugin and get the same bug.
I cannot sleep. Red letters.
Game says I should try later even though I'm tired.
Travin  [author] 25 Jan @ 7:25pm 
@Nicodemus I tried to reproduce but could not. Can you post in the Bug/Issues section with a step-by-step for reproduction? Also, have you tried without any other mods as often other mods might create conflicts.
Travin  [author] 13 Jan @ 12:54pm 
@Nicodemus, Once I can reproduce, I'll take a look at this later this week to see where the issue might be.
Nicodemus 11 Jan @ 1:44pm 
Game breaking mod. Character cannot sleep after saving, will exhaust to death.
Adam Cover 3 Nov, 2024 @ 10:11am 
This is a very necessary mod, sometimes I get distracted without saving, there is no point in playing, please return to development. Auto save with waking up after sleep is a very good idea.
Avīci 11 Aug, 2024 @ 6:16pm 
how do I customize the penalties?
Lee The Monstrous 27 Dec, 2023 @ 10:12am 
I would really love for that to be clarified that if you don't save every day, it doesn't work.
Vecto 16 Jul, 2023 @ 6:03am 
I would love for there to be an option for the character to always be automatically saved upon waking up from sleep. This way you would'nt need to save your character manually every single day. Also, i died recently and lost like 4 days of skill progress because i forgot to save.

Is there a way not to keep my gender? I want to change my gender without punishment(like keep my killcount,surviving time...), if there is a way to do this, plz let me know, thanks a lot!

@zomatomo, I still plan to come back to this mod. Just finding time among everything else has been challenging.
Zomatomo 15 Feb, 2023 @ 5:38pm 
As a note to the "never sleep again" bug, even disabling and unsubscribing from the mod will not fix your character. Ruined forever. RIP.
Zomatomo 15 Feb, 2023 @ 5:29pm 
There is a game-breaking bug with this mod currently. Tested with ONLY this mod and no traits enabled to be certain it was this mod causing the issue. Essentially, once you save your character in-game, you can never sleep again. Prior to clicking save, you can sleep. After clicking save, your sleep option turns red and says, "you can't sleep right now. Try again later," and stays that way forever.

It's a huge bummer for sure because the whole concept of this mod rules! I hate losing my progress when I die, but this ruins your entire character the second you use it so, uh... not recommended until it's fixed.
Pafnucy 3 Feb, 2023 @ 9:46am 
How exactly does this mod work? I save my character, then I die and what is next? Next character I create is fresh one, without skills. Do I have to click something obvious somewhere that I missed?
ragingclue 14 Nov, 2022 @ 1:24am 
Hi, hope you're doing well, I have a little question.
I was bitten so I decided to allow myself to die and respawn with full health, but for some reason I'm still sick, idk if I changed some setting or is it supposed to be that way?
I was looting a place and got some skill upgrades too, so after I was bitten I ran to my place to save all the loot and such, but I guess the saving includes my health at that moment. Is there any way to change that?
Travin  [author] 25 Jul, 2022 @ 11:40am 
Hi all, I've been away for a bit but looking to add more time/energy to this during the fall (North America). Not sure when exactly, but it's still on my list.

1.- the mod works, but if you choose a random character it doesn't respawn where you saved it
2.- you respawn where you save it only if you choose the build and a previously saved character these two must be created and saved previously
3.- If your character dies and when you create another and you only choose the saved build or name, (suppose you die, you create another character, you choose a build that you already had saved but the name of the character, characteristics, etc. you do not have saved and you choose randomly or vice versa you choose another build and the character if you have it saved) you will appear naked without loot in the place where you saved the game
4.- Assuming that you save the game with your character already created with its build, you appear with the equipment, but only what you are wearing, thus losing weapons and tools, what you keep in lockers remains intact
an apology for the bad english use the translator
Jagger-B312 10 Jul, 2022 @ 10:53pm 
Fallas que encontre y algunas soluciones por si usas el mod
1.- el mod funciona, pero si eliges a un personaje al azar no te respawnea donde lo guardaste
2.- respawneas donde lo guardas solo si eliges la build y un personajes previamente guardados estos dos deben ser creados y guardados previamente
3.- si tu personaje muere y cuando creas otro y solo eliges la build guardada o el nombre, (supongamos que mueres, creas otro personaje eliges una build que ya tenias guardada pero el nombre del personaje caracteristicas etc. no lo tienes guardada y lo eliges al azar o se viceversa eliges otra build y el personaje si lo tienes guardado) apareceras desnudo sin loot en el lugar donde guardaste la partida
4.- suponiendo que guardas la partida con tu personaje ya creado con su build , apareces con el equipamento, pero solo lo que llevas puesto, perdiendo asi armas y herramientas, lo que guardas en taquillas queda intacto

Haven't tried this yet, but I love the idea of being able to still keep some amount of skill loss on death without it being as punishing as original game.
Acruid 24 May, 2022 @ 3:40pm 
This conflicts with Achievements and/or More Traits.
Samellan 24 May, 2022 @ 1:57pm 
I always respawn with the same wounds and zombie sickness that I had before I died.
NotoriousNix 21 May, 2022 @ 6:53am 
No longer works.
Alexeiv03 11 May, 2022 @ 5:27pm 
This mod works but whenever I press the "I" key my character dies and I get an error message. Re-spawning works fine with the "O" key though. I tried to look at the mod options to change this suicide key but there appears to be no way to change this.
anzi 14 Apr, 2022 @ 6:09am 
idk man, this mod nvr work for me, respwan with character with same name, all skills, records, and item gone
WilliamGroover 9 Apr, 2022 @ 7:27pm 
could i pay you to make a separate mod for my server that re-spawns the character, keeps keys and clothes. how ever doesn't save the spawn location? i just want players to re-spawn at the re-spawn point WilliamGroover#0433 is discord
这是玉米片 2 Apr, 2022 @ 12:27am 
If I forgot to remember my character's name,can I find it in the config?I searched for that at the "lua" file folder but I cant find it:besaiya:
Jonnson 12 Mar, 2022 @ 2:09pm 
So, I created a new respawn and killed myself again. Spawned again with the backpack, empty this time. Baseball bat still on the ground, but picking it up made it disappear, but didnt add it to inventory.

I didn't have the backpack on the first two times. I put it on for the 3rd death. Respawning worked exactly as intended, but equipped weapon still on ground, and able to be looted again (as well in in my hands when I respawn).

So, 2 things then, in regards to the starter kit;

if you have a backpack on, this negates respawning with the starter pack: you dont get inventory, and your equipped backpack is what respawns with you.

when you die, your equipped weapon (if drawn) lies on the ground where your naked corpse is, and it respawns with you. Duplicating it.

other than that, this is great man, thx so much, its basically a save point. Its better than a save point, as your progress in the game is still where it was.
Jonnson 12 Mar, 2022 @ 1:50pm 
Couple bugs working together, or maybe just 1, not sure how it works.
If you have the "starter kit" enabled, then when you respawn after death, everything is as intended; skills, and equipped gear are correct (inventory is gone), but you get the starter backpack again. Also, your equipped weapon is laying on the floor by your naked corpse. So, first, you can't loot your corpse, your inventory is gone, forever. Second, you get the baseball bat that comes in the backpack, the bat you had equipped at time of death, and then can loot the baseball bat on the ground by your corpse.

Yaknow, I tested first by spawning in, reading a book, killing a few zeds and then dying on purpose. This gave me 3 bats upon death.
ceccoilfolle 10 Feb, 2022 @ 4:13pm 
dont work at all for the moment, i have quite a lot of other mods so maybe is for that. any other mod that do the same things of this one?
Ragnarok Ookami 30 Jan, 2022 @ 10:45am 
I dont know why, but i just cant get this mod to work. I made sure to save my character, but when i died, and created a new character, with the same name, its just that, the new character. Is there something im doing wrong? Im making sure to click the no skill penalty, and to even have equipment just to try and see if it works. Ive tried multiple times and not once have I been able to get it to work.
Mikedis36 24 Jan, 2022 @ 7:57am 
@WillSmith I had that issue with n without this mod, if u have all clothing unlocked checked u gotta uncheck it
Verobear 20 Jan, 2022 @ 7:55am 
Sure, I added it there now. 👍
Travin  [author] 20 Jan, 2022 @ 7:42am 
@verobear it is possible, I just can't add it right now. Can you put that suggestion on the suggestions thread? thanks.
Verobear 20 Jan, 2022 @ 2:57am 
Not even inside the .lua files etc?
Travin  [author] 19 Jan, 2022 @ 5:21pm 
@verobear not at this time
Travin  [author] 19 Jan, 2022 @ 5:21pm 
@WillSmith I've moved your bug report to Bugs/Issues [Multiplayer] thread.
Verobear 19 Jan, 2022 @ 8:22am 
Is there a way to modify the penalty chance to be higher and/or make it remove more levels?
Travin  [author] 18 Jan, 2022 @ 4:39pm 
@willsmith do you have other mods installed? I cannot reproduce the error without more information.
WILL SMITH 18 Jan, 2022 @ 1:12pm 
The mod does not work or I don't know if im doing something wrong. I'm trying to test it on a new world, but every time i hit Save character and then die. a dialog box appears at the bottom left of the screen saying "Error 1". Then if I press "New Character", you get stuck on a black screen. Only way to exit is by Alt+F4.

Is it possible to get any help on making it work correctl?
The Custodians of The Cosmos 17 Jan, 2022 @ 11:50am 
@Travin, thanks bud wanted make sure
Travin  [author] 17 Jan, 2022 @ 8:04am 
@cosmos, if you use this mod and have hit Save then it will overwrite any character that has that same name. If you want to have a new character you need to select Remove Save
The Custodians of The Cosmos 17 Jan, 2022 @ 5:39am 
If I save a character called Billy Bighead with 10 in Fitness and 0 in Strength and then make a new character with the same name but with 0 in Fitness and 10 in Strength, will my 10 Strength be overwritten by the saved characters stats thus becoming 0?
Travin  [author] 15 Jan, 2022 @ 9:54pm 
@zdeft my mod does not modify anything other than the character when dying or reloading.
ZDEFT 15 Jan, 2022 @ 7:46pm 
Does you're mod by any chance mingle with vanilla zombie re spawning? I spent a in game week at base and left for two in game hours came back and the entire Louisville population is wanting to kill me. I downloaded you're mod then disabled it then the hordes came
Travin  [author] 15 Jan, 2022 @ 2:05pm 
@cpt. sorry to hear you have had trouble. can you be more specific about the bug that you found? were there other mods installed?
Cpt. Hindsight 15 Jan, 2022 @ 1:03pm 
useless af
doesn't work
dont' install, it will ruin your save, your characters won't learn from VHS anymore
Travin  [author] 13 Jan, 2022 @ 5:48pm 
For some of those who posted suggestions here, I've moved them to the Suggestions thread
Travin  [author] 13 Jan, 2022 @ 5:45pm 
To anyone having issue with getting this mod to run or to use the mod, please see the description above or visit PZ's Discord to get advice. I will be adding in tool tips in the near future.
Travin  [author] 13 Jan, 2022 @ 5:44pm 
@Khadafi, I believe so. The previous mod had the function in it but it was not working in the most recent build. I will see what I can do to put it back in.
