Coroner Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning. Dates are based on UTC.

Known Issues

• Reinstalling the mod may sometimes cause modded language data to be deleted.

2.2.0 (2024-09-06)

This update improves the documentation as well as adds support for v64.

Added

• Added cause of death for the new event in v64.

Changed

• Improved documentation for the modding API and translations (major thanks to Jatc251!).

2.1.0 (2024-08-28)

This update finalizes the modding API!

Added

• Added cause of death for the new enemy in v61.
• Finished up the Modding API!
  • See the modding docs for more info.
  • Check out the Coroner Mimic plugin for an example of how to implement this
• Split up cause of death for pits to differentiate between different tiles.
  • Added specific cause of death for that one pit in the Facility. You know the one.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with fallback behavior (for when a language is missing translations).

2.0.0 (2024-07-14)

This update represents a major refactor of Coroner's codebase.

Added

• Added new causes of death for version 50.
• Added new causes of death for version 55/56.
• Added a cause of death specifically for dying of falling in pits in the facility.
• Split up causes of death for coworkers murdering with different weapons into different types (for example, Stop Signs vs Knives).
• Added a documented Coroner.API class to make it easy for mods to add their own integrations.
  • NOTE: This feature is not currently 100% complete as mods cannot display their own custom causes of death right now.
• Added a test language which displays generic death messages for debugging purposes.

Changed

• Replaced LC_API with StaticNetcodeLib for more reliable, less bloated networking that doesn't depend on an outdated library.

Removed

• Removed all languages except for English, due to the other languages now having missing causes of death. A long-term solution for this problem will come later.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where leaving the game before the Performance Report and then joining a new lobby would not clear causes of death, resulting in incorrect causes of death being displayed later.

Known Issues

• Coroner may sometimes fail to distinguish between the driver and passenger of the Company Cruiser.
• Languages other than English may be missing causes of death, they should fall back to English if one is missing.

1.6.2 (2024-03-05)

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where Coroner fails to detect the config folder (even when it is in the proper location).

1.6.1 (2024-03-04)

Fixed

• Improved the clarity of the error messages for when people install the mod incorrectly (you won't get this error if you use R2Modman!).

1.6.0 (2024-02-03)

Added

• Added new custom messages for specific causes of death:
  • Holding a Stun Grenade
  • Extension Ladder
• Added support for the expanded Unicode character set while FontFixer is installed.
• Added a new Spanish localization.
• Added a new German localization.
• Added a new Italian localization.
• Added a new Korean localization.
• Added a new Hungarian localization.
• Added a new Chinese (Simplified) localization.
• Added a new Portuguese (Brazilian) localization.

Changed

• Numerous translation changes.
  • The English Translation now has additional notes to assist other translators.
• Moved the localization files into the config folder.
  • This should allow modpacks to properly override them.
• Changed translation handling to fallback to English if specific lines are missing.
  • This applies when some lines are present and some aren't.

Fixed

• Fixes for Lethal Company v49.

1.5.3

Fixed

• Fixed a build issue with 1.5.2.

1.5.2

Fixed

• Attempting to fix an issue caused when installing Coroner without R2Modman.

1.5.1

Added

• Added a new French localization.

Changed

• I have removed LC_API as a dependency from the manifest. Coroner on its own does a reasonable job of synchronizing cause of death messages across clients without it, in my experience, to a greater extent than I originally thought. I do not anticipate making it a dependency again in the future. Apologies for the inconvenience.
• Improved the Dutch localization.

1.5.0

Added

• Added a new localization feature! Coroner now has official support for English, Dutch, and Russian.
  • If you want to help localize Coroner for other languages, please visit the Lethal Company Modding Discord or submit a pull request on GitHub, I would GREATLY appreciate your contributions.

Changed

• LC_API has been readded as a dependency after the 3.0.0 update fixed all the weird bugs.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where vanilla notes would be replaced with funny notes (funny notes should only display if no vanilla ones were given)
• Fixed an issue where "Funny Notes" were not randomized when serious death messages were turned on.

1.4.2

Added

• Now includes the mod lel

1.4.1

Removed

• I decided you folks had it too good yoinks mod away

1.4.0

Added

• Added custom death messages for specific types of explosions:
  • Landmines
  • Jetpack
  • Lightning
• Added custom death message for Turrets.
• Added a SeriousDeathMessages config option to display only more to-the-point death messages. Defaults to false.

Changed

• The death report now says "Cause of Death" instead of "Notes" when a player dies.
• Decreased log verbosity to improve performance.

1.3.1
