ScaledFallDamage

Don't you just HATE watching that one friend who plays much better than you make it back to the ship at 11:30 PM 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.

Compiled for v69.

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: 0.4)

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 + tuningParameter * (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.
