pressure drop

A [ server-side / host-only ] mod that adds configurable timed pressure plates (Abandoned Aqueduct) and a /drop item (/drop <itemnamenospaces> [@]) chat command.

why?

I wanted to make activating the pressure plates more accessible (no more waiting for friends / pushing pots).

sometimes I [ take the wrong item / want to help others catch up ].

balance

probably reduces some pressure

• how long a pressure plate stays pressed can be configured as you see fit (default: 30s)

timed pressure plate (config: 3s)

strategic! a typing challenge!

• sacrifice more time than at a Scrapper to reduce the risk of a Printer or Cauldron taking the wrong item
• more opportunities to use the Recycler
• leave items for your allies:
  • to help distribute the wealth
  • to help them win against the Teleporter boss (you died)
• can remove items you are not having fun with
• can spread void items between players

/drop item command

configurable

/reload can be used to apply changes made to the configuration file without needing to restart the game (must be hosting a run to use)

• how long a pressure plate stays pressed can be configured as you see fit (default: 30s)

  value	behaviour
  0	disable (vanilla)
  (any negative value)	pressure plates stay down forever once pressed
  (any positive value)	pressure plates stay down for the specified number of seconds

• the drop command can be disabled
• the ability to send items to the Teleporter can be disabled
• the ability for dead players to drop items can be disabled
• the ability to drop void items can be enabled
• which item tiers should be recyclable when dropped can be configured as you see fit (default: only white and green)

extra

• the option to show chat history when the scoreboard is open can be enabled (client-side)
• the option to change void items to always require confirmation before being picked up can be enabled
  • intended to encourage sharing void items in multiplayer when the ability to drop void items is disabled

• DropItem by Thrayonlosa — similar /drop functionality, inspired this implementation
  • can drop equipment
  • can drop from another player's inventory
  • only drops around the executing player (must be alive)
  • not configurable (e.g. max drop stack size, recyclability)
  • drops [ consumed / broken ] items
  • drops all shoot in same direction — scatters messily once landed
    • drop direction is fixed (rather than using aim direction)
