HumanitZ

Change HumanitZ death penalties without enabling permadeath by accident

Permanent Death and On Death are different Startup controls. Decide whether you want to alter dropped items or make death permanent before changing either value.

File locations used below — relative to the server root
TSSGame/GameServerSettings.ini

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and back up its save and TSSGame/GameServerSettings.ini.
  2. Record Permanent Death, On Death and Save Name.
  3. Use the field descriptions for the installed version to choose the intended On Death behavior; keep Permanent Death disabled unless that is explicitly the rule you want.
  4. Change one control at a time in Startup and restart.
  5. Test with a disposable character or a backed-up test session before applying the rule to valuable progress.

Check the result

Reverting a rule does not necessarily undo items or characters already lost under it. Keep your pre-change backup and tell players about the rule before they reconnect.
