Zens Cause of Death

What Is This?

This mod adds the ability to check other player's cause of death.

Simply walk up to a dead player and hold F on them to check for a cause of death.

The causes are configurable in the server-side json file (for changing the text/language).

Installation Instructions:

Note: ZenModCore is a dependency - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3702420204

Install this mod like any other mod. Make sure to copy the .bikey into your server keys, and then once you run your server with the mod installed the mod will automatically generate the default json config file in your server profile folder under Zenarchist/ZenCauseOfDeathConfig.json.

I believe I've covered most of the vanilla causes of death but modded ones may require adding your own config.

To do that set DebugOn=1 in the config json and then kill a player (can be a dummy survivor) and hold F on it to get the "ammo" type that caused the damage included in the message.

This mod must be installed on both the server & client.

Repack & Source Code:

Unfortunately due to lack of time I can't maintain all of my mods all of the time. I do my best, but these mods are offered as-is. If there's a problem, you have the source code and my permission to fix it yourself and upload a fixed version to the workshop without any credit necessary. It's all free.

You may repack this mod if you like, and do anything else you want with it for that matter. The source code is on my GitHub at www.zenarchist.com

Buy Me A Coffee / Contact Me:

All my mods are free and open source, but it takes an enormous amount of time to put some of these mods together. If I've helped you out, please consider helping me buy my next coffee! I don't expect it, but I very much appreciate it.

To contact me you can send me a message there too - I get an insane amount of messages so it's the best way for me to filter out the noise and focus on people who are willing to support my work with a coffee first:
