Configurable Skill Loss [OBSOLETE]

THIS MOD IS NOW PARTLY OBSOLETE The devs added the configurable percentage-based skill loss feature officially in the game when hosting a multiplayer server

---

This is for multiplayer only

In vanilla, once you die you lose 75% of all earned skills above your baseline skills (for your job). This mod allows you to configure it depending on what you want. The default settins are a loss of 25% instead of 75%, however you can change that number to a different %, or change it to a fixed amount lost on death (for example, losing 5 skill points for all skills per death). Note however, that no matter what, you cannot go below baseline skills.

How to configure: Go to the mod's directory. It should be in %LocalAppData%/Daedalic Entertainment GmbH/Barotrauma/WorkshopMods/Installed/2958798274 (at least it should be in Windows) In there, find the file named "config.json". You will have 2 values you can set: mode & amount:

mode = 0 / 1 0 is for percentage based loss 1 is for fixed amount

amount = number if mode is "percentage", set the amount you want to LOSE on death as a percentage from 1 (so for example, 0.25 is 25% skill loss) if mode is "fixed", set the number of skill points you want to LOSE on death (so for example, 10 will be the points you lose on all skills when you die)

After updating the config json file, either restart Barotrauma or in the console (F3) use the "reloadlua" command

Requires only Server side Lua (no need for players to install it client-side)
