ScaledFallDamage

Don't you just HATE watching that one friend who plays much better than you make it back to the ship at 9:30 carrying 4 gold bars? I bet they feel all high and mighty, too. Look at that smug face. Fret not, for with this mod, you can watch them accidentally turn themselves into crewmate goo from a 2 meter drop, laughing maniacally as their ragdoll body flaps around the map lifelessly, letting YOU deliver the loot they were carrying. That'll teach 'em.

Developed for v50.

Features

Fall damage will now scale with carried weight.
Fall damage will start earlier, also scaled with carried weight.
Lightweight.
Configurable.

Configuration

The mod can be configured by editing windblownleaves.scaledfalldamage.cfg in the /BepInEx/config/ folder.

[FallDamage]

ModifySafeFallingHeight - Whether or not more weight should also make fall damage start at smaller distances. If false, damage is still increased, but safe falls will remain safe. (Default: true)
TuningParameter - A constant multiplier in the formula. This is NOT a direct damage multiplier, but higher values correspond to higher (and earlier) fall damage. (Default: 0.15)

Implementation

Unlike some other implementations, this mod does not hook into Update() - code is only run once each time a player lands. This is a lot more performant.

The formula used is: weightFactor = 1.0f + tuningParemeter * (carryWeight* - 1), where weightFactor is then multiplied with the internally used fallValue. In simplified terms, the game then checks this value and applies the following damage values:

fallValue > 48.5: 100 damage (death)
fallValue > 45: 80 damage
fallValue > 40: 50 damage
fallValue > 38: 30 damage

carryWeight is a little counterintuitive in that it takes a value of 1 at 0 lbs, a value of 2 at 100 lbs and so on.

Issues

Configuration files do not automatically sync at this time. For a consistent experience, please make sure everyone is using the same config settings. I will address this in a coming update.

Changelog

1.0.0:
- Initial Release
1.0.1:
- Changed config code to enable LethalConfig compatibility.
- Changed damage calculation formula. There is now a small permissible distance you can safely fall no matter what, preventing jumps with super-heavy modded scrap from killing you (looking at you, anvil).
