Coroner

A Lethal Company plugin which overhauls the end-of-mission performance report with new information, including cause of death for any deceased players with some fun easter eggs thrown in too. Available to download from Thunderstore or view the source code on GitHub.

NOTE: If you have issues when using foreign language fonts, install FontFixer via Thunderstore or GitHub BEFORE reporting.

Issues

If you encounter any issues with the mod, please report them on the Lethal Company Modding Discord or via the GitHub Issue Tracker. Please ensure you check for known issues on the GitHub Issue Tracker or CHANGELOG.md BEFORE reporting.

Translations and Customization

Translations

Coroner has support for multiple languages, and you're able to create your own translations if they're inaccurate or your language isn't available! Choose your language's code from the List of Available Translations, and edit the LanguagePicker option in the config file for the mod (or use the Thunderstore app/R2modman config editor).

For more information on translations, or how to add/edit your language, please check TRANSLATING.md.

Create or Edit Custom Death Messages

Coroner provides the ability to add or replace the death messages provided in the default languages, and these edits can be shared with your friends via a user created mod. Check out this guide for more information.

It is urged that you follow this guide and do not reupload Coroner to Thunderstore in order to make changes to the language files. It will cause you, your friends, and others to use an outdated version of the mod, which harms development and may have severe impacts on gameplay, performance, and security.

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.

  • 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

Changed

• Decreased log verbosity to improve performance.

1.3.1
