Soulkiller - a Permadeath addon for Santa Muerte

I finally worked out a way to add a form of Permadeath to my Santa Muerte mod.

How to install it?

• []Install Santa Muerte Death Alternative

  []Install Soulkiller (and CET if you don't have it)

  That's it. There is no configuration necessary.

  Santa Muerte will automatically hand off the last death to Soulkiller.

  As usual with this kind of mod, if you want to try it and change your mind - MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR SAVES!

  How does Permadeath work?

  I got it working with a CET addon to the redscript core of the mod.

  The mod hooks into the functions of Santa Muerte, so you will first need to meet Santa Muerte's requirements for resurrections: be past The Heist and have the Relic installed (basically, after you can see Johnny).

  If the addon is installed, running out of resurrections triggers a signal that causes the addon to save a flag into a local file.

  As long as that flag is set, attempts to load ANY saves results into instant death.

  There are a few ways to keep playing:

  • []1- Preferred way - delete all saved games and create a new one,

    []2- delete all saved games except one,

    []3- use a special keybind in CET for an emergency clear-up of the flag if you have second thoughts

    []4- obviously, go into the mod files and delete the flags  under 'PermadeathBridge/mod/data'

    Hold on.. that's not really Permadeath. It is too easy to reverse.

    True. The addon works but it is not as punishing and bulletproof as one thinks when it comes to permadeath.

    This is the best way I could find to get close to it.

    Any ideas about what I could do to make it harder to 'cheat' on that outcome?

    Known issues

    • This mod blocks loading saves from other characters. That's unfortunately a side effect. I don't know how to detect which character a saved game is for.
