i need a mod that has the sleep animation, players on the server can use it just like sitting. while sleeping, they don't get bored, thirsty or hungry. but they are vulnerable to the rest normally. it allows a soft afk that stays in character... a replacement sleep form for multiplayer.

You can also contact me on Discord. Our server link is in the description, my username is MaxWasUnavailable :)

I'll run a test! Could you give me some more information on the server version, the modlist, etc...?

If you could open an issue ticket on my GitHub repository, that'd really help!
Hey just wanted to report players dont go invis for zombies when AFK, even with the option turned on. Any way to fix this? I really love the premise but the thing I really wanted it for doesnt work :(

Hi there @Vorshim

Could you make an issue on the GitHub repo? I don't have time this week, but it'll help remind me! :)

hi there again Max! <3 how are you? I hope you had a great holiday!
I wanted to let you know about an "issue" with your mod. Players using a controller are being flagged as AFK after the set time because the mod only considers keyboard inputs and not controller button presses. Do you think there's a way to include the controller as well? There must be some kind of event for it.
I think you can search something usefull in media\lua\shared\JoyPad\JoyPadSetup.lua <3 thanks!!

Move to the new apartment will be done after this weekend. Then I'll review the PR!

Hello there! I found a way to solve the problem when the character dies. See my PR on github! ;)

From Vorshim's comment, it seems like the system is active / works in non-gameplay screens. I haven't tested this myself, however.

Hi Max! Does this system work also work for non-gameplay screens like character creation and post-death screen?
Max  [author] 6 Sep, 2024 @ 3:03pm 
Hi there @Vorshim! Seems like I forgot to add the repo to the description - fixed that!

As for character creation, I'm not too sure how I'd resolve that, and it seems a bit of an edge case that a slightly longer AFK time would fix - unless people go AFK while on the character creation screen, or click nothing for e.g. 10 minutes.

Do you have an idea as to how I'd detect whether people are in the creation menu? If so, feel free to open a PR on the repo.

Hi! First of all, congratulations on the mod, it's very, very useful! Do you think it would be possible to add a feature so that the client doesn't kick you if you're on the character creation screen? Unfortunately, it often happens that someone stays on that screen for a long time without clicking anything. Let me know, in case you want, I can take a look myself if you're not sure how to do it, and if I find something, I'll send you an update. Is there, by any chance, a GitHub repo?

I'll have a look at these requests when I'm back from a hiking trip I'll be on for the next week and a half!

One more thing, is it possible to "froze" the character when afk? I mean, disable temporarily everything, calories, sleep, etc. Thanks in advance
Jorjo Joestar 6 Aug, 2024 @ 8:38am 
@Max I do really need the hunger/thirst option. It's such a pain to log out and log in :(
Xdes33 27 Jul, 2024 @ 12:34pm 
@Max plis add the hunger and thirst option :)
:bleach:
Ksarper 24 Jul, 2024 @ 6:37am 
Please, add it, ty!
Max  [author] 19 Jul, 2024 @ 9:08am 
It doesn't disable hunger/thirst, but I can look into adding that as an option at some point, if enough people want it.
󠀡󠀡 19 Jul, 2024 @ 9:07am 
Will this also disable hunger/thirst temporarily until no longer afk?
