📋 About This Mod
Grants how many extra lives you want! Hitting zero health will trigger an instant revive! Can choose to gain additional extra lives on X amount of kills.
In singleplayer you're gonna get revived automatically as well as in multiplayer but only if you are the one hosting the game.
Press the E button when in a multiplayer game that wasn't hosted by you to revive yourself and consume one of your Extra Lives.
Notes
If you are in a multiplayer game that wasn't hosted by you the mod wasn't working correctly. You were entering the downed state while still being healed but not revived. In the latest update I've made it so that when you die in a multiplayer game you that wasn't hosted by you you can press the E button to revive yourself and consume one of your extra lives.
Setttings
Open the mods main.lua file with Notepad to find:
So for example if you want to have 10 extra lives you do:
--Quantity of extra lives
ExtraLives = 10 --Change "3" to whatever value you want
You can also set "Extra Lives" to 0 so that you start with 0 extra lives but gain additional when killing enemies.
