Startsafe - Start Easy, Start safe

 

So, what is this anyway?

 

This simple mod allows you to spawn in a number of starting materials to make your early game easier. Each starter pack includes:

 

  • A Fire Axe
  • 2 Packs of Crisps
  • A piece of Beef Jerkey
  • A saw
  • A box of nails
  • 5 bandages
  • A bottle of vitamins

 

Wait, isn't there already another mod that does this?

 

Yes, there is. However, it hasn't been updated since October of last year, and no longer works with the current build. As mods go, this is about as basic as it gets.

 

As of the present build(28) this mod still works fine.

 

So, how do i use this?

 

Enable the mod, load up the game and press insert. Done!

 

Isn't this cheating?

 

Yes, and no. I've used getModData to make sure this event can only be fired once per player, per world. I've found Axes to be next to impossible in the game to get, which is funny considering how common they actually are.

 

Why don't you add a "weak durability" axe, just to get you through the early game?

 

I've considered this solution, but I don't really want to add the item right yet. If there's interest, I'll add it, but hey, for now - free normal axe!

 

No hammer?

 

Yeah, you'll have to get that one on your own. They're common enough.  :razz:

 

Your code is terrible!

 

Yeah... I don't like Lua. I'm primarily a PHP programmer, so the structure and syntax kinda bugs me. If you have any suggestions to improve this, I'd love to hear it.

 

Installation:

 

Unzip and drop into 'c:\users\YOURUSER\zombiod\mods'.

 

Issues:

 

I am unable to test this mod in a multiplayer environment.

Are you on a laptop? Yeah, I didn't really think the key binding through for condensed keyboards. I wanted to pick something that more-than-likely wouldn't cause conflicts with other mods. I'm open to suggestions for a different activation key.
