Title   Henchmen Always Bleed to Death (1.3) - Robust configurable player/henchman bleed/death/respawn system for SP/MP/DMed/Non-DMed play Author   Demetrious,OldManWhistler,IntrepidCW Submitted / Updated   10-17-2004 / 11-22-2006 Category   Rulesets Expansions   Works on all versions View Code   Henchmen Always Bleed to Death http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/scripts/data/1098019141000.shtml VERSION 1.3 - Robust configurable player / henchman bleed / death / respawn system for SP / MP / DMed / Non-DMed by Demetrious, OldManWhistler and IntrepidCW Old 0.03 beta version: http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/scripts/data/1061531334485.shtml CAVEAT This is a highly polished beta release. The intention is to release the full version soon. We want this to be hands down the best bleeding / death / respawn system out there and we need your input to make that possible. Noobs read there: This System is modified via constants, after modyfind the constants ... : Always recompile your module after modifying habd_include because it is an include file. #1: Select "Build" from the toolset menu and then choose "Build Module". #2: Click the "Advanced Controls" box to bring up the advanced options. #3: Make sure that the only boxes that are selected are "Compile" and "Scripts". #4: Click the "Build" button. #5: Remember to always make sure you are using the options you want to use when running "Build Module"! INTRODUCTION From the same fools who brought you PHB Familiars and UMD by the book, Supply Based Resting, Party Loot Notification, Permanent Area Effect Spells, Speed Override, Take Cover (PHB environment AC), PHB Movement Skills (Balance, Climb, Jump, Swim, Escape Artist), and Player Character Auto Save. The main intent of this system is that players never instantly die (configurable). Player death will always be caused by player action -- because help didn't reach them in time and never because of a bad roll of the dice. They will always go through bleeding before reaching death. There are stabilization checks (configurable 10% chance) and bandages can bring you back to life on a DC 15 heal skill check as per PHB, except that when stabilized you instantly go to 1 HP. One of the unfortunate side effect of playing a real-time game rather than a turn-based game is that it can be very difficult to react to a player bleeding in a timely matter. In turn-based play, your party members would know that you are bleeding and be able to react within one or two round. This system seeks to restore the ability for your party members to be aware and react. With the default settings of this system it should be very rare for low level players to die if they have party members with them for support. Once they reach higher levels and have the means to afford Resurrection and Raise Dead then the time to bleed to death decreases. The intention is to make death a rare occurrence. After all, with all those local clerics tossing out rez like candy, its any wonder there's still undead around left to fight. The bleed / death system is intended for multiplayer use but CAN be used in solo play. The respawn system is intended for multiplayer use only, but can be used for single party or solo games if the auto-raise feature is enabled. The auto-raise feature can be configured to use up scrolls. The respawn system can be disabled or easily replaced with a different system. This system was originally built with single-party DMed play in mind, but it should be able to scale to ANY kind of play. This is the Swiss Army knife of death systems. The same bleeding / death / respawn system can be used for henchmen AS WELL as players, removing additional complexity from your module. If you want to want to support solo play with this script, then enable the fast bleed option and set the solo auto-raise option to a very low value. That way when a player bleeds / dies in solo play they do not have to wait long for help that will never come. Finally, the system can be configured in a short time to fit your needs. Respawned PCs can be moved to a predefined waypoint, you can also use the bindstone system implemented. HPs can be fully managed by the HABD. Finally you have some tools to use some sort of 'Hell/Heaven' areas in your module. THANKS - HCR team, at one time or another we must have stolen some of your ideas. - Lazybones for coming up with a name for the system. - Typhonius, DickNervous, Feds, Ochobee and Blewz for help with the initial play-testing. - Giantkin for help with betatesting. -OldManWhistler, for doing the main hard work. Apologies to anyone who is suffering, or knows someone who suffers with a hereditary blood-coagulation disorder and takes offense at the name. We thought it was a rather witty name for a system where players must always go through bleeding before dying. No offense was intended. OTHER WORKS BY SAME AUTHORS Demetrious' Portfolio http://nwvault.ign.com/portfolios/data/1055729301.shtml OldManWhistler's Portfolio http://nwvault.ign.com/portfolios/data/1054937958.shtml IntrepidCW Portfolio http://nwvault.ign.com/portfolios/data/1081928501.shtml FEATURES IMPLEMENTATION NOTES - 5scripts, 3 player items, 2 DM items, 1 placeable. Some optional premade objects (2NPC, 3 Conversations, 1 Placeable, 1 Waypoint, 1 Trigger).The only NWN content modified is Raise Dead and Resurrection spells, and the henchmen death scripts should be modified if you want to enable henchman bleeding / respawn as ghost. - It uses DelayCommand events scheduled on the players instead of heartbeats. It only uses CPU cycles when players are bleeding, dying, dead, respawned or entering / leaving the module. This removes the overhead of searching through the player list on the heartbeat. - Delayed commands are rescheduled at the start of a chain to prevent stalled states when the CPU is overloaded and events start getting dropped. - DelayCommand is *NOT* a recursive function, so there is no worry about CPU performance hits. - All settings are CONST variables that are evaluated at compile time to speed up execution. - Henchmen only bleed / respawn if they have a master. Potions can be used on bleeding henchmen as well as any of the normal means of healing another creature. Henchmen bleeding is implemented by "faking" to 0 to -9 HP bleed with 10 to 0 HP. FEATURES NOT IMPLEMENTED - We considered having an option for limiting raising and resurrecting to same party only (to prevent death penalty griefers) but you cannot invite dead players to your party so we decided against that. - We considered storing player location persistently, but all persistent location systems I have seen require some kind of workaround to store the player location over a module reset (most common being an additional script in the exit event ofevery area). We figured it was better to leave such complexity out of this system and let the end user choose the persistent location system that is right for their needs. - We include an optional kind of bind stone system. It can be also used to bring persistence to controled locations. - Our respawn system can easily be removed (changing one line in the configuration) so that you can replace it with the respawn system of your choice. - Dropped items are not automatically picked up. Dropping large inventories is laggy enough without adding additional processing. - There is no ability to change the settings while the module is running. This is because all the settings are constants to speed up execution. - It is not possible to make familiars or animal companions bleed because there is no scripting command for making them rejoin the party as a familiar / companion. ITEMS: - All items are stored under Custom5 in the palette or Chooser. - Automatically given out to players who do not possess them on log in. - All items have no weight, are worth no money and cannot be sold. - Items cannot be transferred to other players or dropped. - There is a Skull item that displays the player's bleed / death / lost XP / lost GP statistics. - There is a Bandages item that can stabilize a bleeding player on a DC 15 heal check or make a respawned ghost follow the player using the bandages. (there are advanced bandages that can be sold, are not free, and could be placed at stores if you wish). - There is a Rulebook item that displays how this system is configured for the module. It displays the penalties as they would currently apply to the PC reading the book. - There is a DM statistic item that can display the bleed / death / lost XP / lost GP statistics for an entire party. - There is a DM force death item that can instant kill players / henchmen without putting them through the bleeding state. You can tie this in with the prevent death feature to make death only happen when the DM decides it should. BLEEDING: - Works for players as well as henchmen. - 10% chance of self-stabilization to 1 HP (chance is configurable). - If going from living to -6 or lower you will be capped at -5 to give you a good chance to be saved (configurable). - If going from living to dead you will be set to -6 to -9 HP instead of dying (configurable). - You can declare some areas where death is hard: Mosters will be able to kill youon a single hit, and you will start bleeding at appropiate number (no -5 limit). - Free DC15 heal check bandages can be used to stabilize other players to 1 HP. - Any healing will stabilize another player. - Casting raise / rez on a bleeding player stabilizes them to 1 HP or more. (It is a waste of a spell, but it works). - Immune to damage while bleeding. You have to bleed to death. - Regeneration items always stabilize players and keep them from ever dying. (Defaults to leaving regeneration items on the player) - Bleeding players are temporarily made invisible to make monsters change targets. - Players can be made invisible for a configurable amount of time after bleeding to give them a chance to heal or run away (default is 1 second). - Possessed familiars die instead of bleeding. - First bleed message tells the total time until death. - Nearby party members are notified of the bleeding player every round, even number of rounds between bleeding is greater than one. - All DMs are notified of when players are bleeding / dying. (default on) - Number of rounds between bleeding is based off of player level. (defaults to giving low levels a long time between bleeding to reduce the chance of dying since they can't afford Raise / Rez) - Fast 1sec bleed when playing solo without a party. (default off) - There is an option for preventing player death until they reach a certain level. (default is 2). The DM Force Instant Death widget can bypass this setting. DEATH: - Now you can specify areas (by Resref) where death and bleeding is imposible. - Now you can specify areas (by Resref) where Instant Death due to a single hit is allowed.- Force auto-respawn after being dead for a specified time. (default 3 min) - Force auto-raise after being dead or respawned for a specific time. (default off) - Auto-raise can be configured to only work if the player possesses raise dead / resurrection scrolls that are consumed in the process. If this is enabled then the dying can never cause raise dead / resurrection scrolls to be dropped or destroyed. (default off) - Additional force auto-raise timer for solo players only. (default off) - Henchmen have their own separate auto-respawn and auto-raise timers. - DMs can bring dead players back to life with no penalty by using a DM heal. HENCHMEN BLEEDING AND DEATH: - The same bleeding / death / respawn system can be used for henchmen by modifying your henchmen OnDeath scripts. Requires two additional lines to your henchmen scripts and should be compatible with all henchmen AI provided that they use the NW_ASC_BUSY condition properly. - Henchmen support does not require any other modifications. PENALTIES: - Separate % GP / XP penalties for respawn, raise dead and resurrection. - XP penalty can be configured to prevent level loss (default no level loss). - GP penalty can be configured to have a maximum amount to take (default 10,000gp max). - If dropping / destruction of all gold is enable, then no gold will be lost to the penalty (since the player drops the items before the penalty is applied). - There is no penalty for henchmen bleed / death. - User defined functions called at bleed, respawn, raise and rez that can be used to apply other penalties without having to go deep into the internals of our code. ITEM DROPPING ON DEATH: - Item dropping on player death can be configured as any combination of the following options. Any options can be configured to do nothing (0), drop item (1) or destroy item (2). The conditions are evaluated in an order of precedence. - Drop nothing. (default) - Drop all gold. (this will avoid any GP penalties since gold is dropped before penalty applied) - Drop equipped left-hand / right-hand items. - Drop a random equipped item. - Drop the most expensive equipped item. - Drop all equipped items. - Drop Raise Dead / Resurrection scrolls. - Drop a random backpack item. - Drop the most expensive backpack item. - Drop all backpack items. - Dropped items are NOT automatically re-equipped or picked up. - If players forget to pick up items they dropped, they are automatically reminded every 30 seconds. - The placeable created to store dropped items is automatically destroyed when it empties. - If all of the drop settings are disabled then the placeable is not created. - There is an option to destroy dropped items rather than store them in a placeable. PERSISTENCE: - Persistence can be disabled with a flag. (default enabled) - Persistence only works with a multiplayer server. It has no effect in single player (no OnClientLeave event in single player) - Statistics to keep track of how many times the player has bled / died in total, how many times since the server was restarted, and how much gold / XP the player has lost in total from penalties. - Persistent DB functions for storing bleed / death / respawn state. - Auto-respawn and auto-raise timers are stored persistently at various increments. - Players remain in the same state over module restarts, even with local vault characters. - Persistent data is stored with one DB write at OnClientLeave and one DB read at OnClientEnter. It is very fast with minimal DB size (less than 1kb per player record). - When bleed / death / respawn is restored at player log in, it does not reapply the penalties or falsely increment the statistics. RESPAWN: - Can be used with other respawn systems (default uses our system) - Option to disable death GUI to remove respawn. (Default GUI enabled) - Option to disable respawn button but leave death GUI (Default respawn button enabled) - Additional system to respawn as a ghost with no player control. (default enabled) - Using bandages on respawned ghost makes them follow you if you are in the same party (simulates carrying a corpse). - Living players can barter with respawned ghosts (simulates search the players corpse for scrolls, except corpse has a say in what is taken). - Respawned ghosts cannot be DM moved by shift-click. - Respawned ghosts cannot be recovered in single player by using the dm_heal console command. So the respawn state could be used as permanent death in a single player game by setting the auto-respawn timer to 0.1. - Permadeath for PWs is supported (requires you to script what leads the player to permadeath, see the custom permadeath function at script "habd_onpcrespawn"; furthermore you must specify a waypoint in the options there) - Casting raise or rez brings respawn ghost back to life, but applies raise / rez penalty on top of respawn penalty. - DMs can bring the "ghosted" PC back to life by toggling invulnerability (no penalty). Casting raise or rez also works, but DM heal does not. - Respawned PCs can be moved to a waypoint or to a BindStone.

Read the FAQ for more. See PDF file for additional information. CONFIGURATION SETTINGS // MISC SETTINGS // // HABD_PATCH_PRE1_64 // If you are using a NWN patch below 1.64, mark there as TRUE, otherwise the code could // suffer an exploit when PCs leave the game possessing a familiar (altough to // solve the NWN Bug the script is less robust). Default FALSE. // // HABD_LEVELUPBLEED_EXPLOIT_KILLS // There is a exploit, when a PC levels up when bleeding. He is not stabilized // properly, and he does not die. If this constant is TRUE the PC is killed and // the DMs alerted. If FALSE it will simply alert DMs and print the note in log. // // HABD_FAMILIAR_EXPLOIT // There is a exploit, PCs can possess their familiar when dying :\, it tends // to ruin lost dying scripts and provoke strange behaivours. If set to 0, the // familiar of a PC will always die when starting to bleed. If set to 1, the // familiar will not die then, he will be able to figth, but if the PC possess // the familiar it will die and the PC will keep bleeding. // // HABD_ITEMSONENTER // Configure what items are given to players and DMs when entering the module. // It is a three digit number. Each number is an item, 0 = dont' give the item, // 1 = give the item. // First number is the DeathToken, second the bandages, third the HABDRulesItem. // E.g. "010" = only give the Bandages on enter // // HABD_PATCH_PRECURSEDITEMS // If you are using a NWN patch that does not support Cursed Items (Undroppable) // , turn it to TRUE, you will need also to do some small changes (read the FAQ) // // HABD_SPELL_TRACKING // HABD can take care of Spell/feat tracking, making sure that the exploit that // restores feat/spell uses will not happen. This feature will work perfectly // if you are running NWN patch 1.65 or better. Old patches have Bioware bugs // that need very complicated workarounds. // 0: No spell tracking. // 1: (Recomended) Spell tracking saving at OnClientLeave event. Uses less // access to database, but is not crash - proof (do you really want to make it // crash proof?). // 2: Spell tracking will save everytime HABD saves any other data, which can // be very often depending or other settings, can be crash-proof. // // HABD_USERLANGUAGE // Default available languages, it translates most messages from english. // Log messages, some Debug mesages and The Player Rules are not translated. // 0: English, 1: Spanish. // BLEEDING SETTINGS // // HABD_ALLOW_INSTANT_DEATH // Default False. If TRUE, PCs can die when they go to alive to -10 or less hps in // a single hit. HABD_NO_DEATH_BEFORE_LEVEL takes preference, soy low level chars // will be still safe if you wish. // // HABD_KILLING_HIT. You can specify a negative number, if the PC descends to // this number of hps or lower he suffers Instant Death (even if Instant Death // is deactivated), in this way you can have the normal bleeding but instant // death happens with very violent blows. If set as 0 it is off, you should // configure it at -11 or lower if you want to use this feature. // // HABD_BLEEDING_START_LIMIT // If going from living to -6 or lower you will be capped at HABD_BLEEDING_START_LIMIT // (default -5) to give you a good chance to be saved. Set from -1 to -10. // Set up to -10 to fully disable the cap (but dont allow instant death). // // HABD_PLAY_BLEED_VOICE // Default: TRUE. If TRUE bleeding characters play a random apropiate voice. If // FALSE no Voice is played. You can also specify a number from 2 to 100, that // indicates a percentage chance to play the voices. // // HABD_STABILIZATION_DICE // Determines the dice to be used for stabilization checks. Default 10 = d10. // 20 = d20, 100 = d100, etc... Dont use a negative or very low value. // // HABD_GLOBAL_STABILIZATION_NUMBER // A d10 (depending of HABD_STABILIZATION_DICE) is rolled each bleeding round, // if the result is equal or higher than the HABD_GLOBAL_STABILIZATION_NUMBER // (default 10 for D&D rules), the player self-stabilizes. Change as you need, // it must be a number between 0 and 10. Smaller, easier to get stabilized. // // HABD_SOLO_STABILIZATION_NUMBER // As HABD_GLOBAL_STABILIZATION_NUMBER, but it is used (instead of the GLOBAL) // at SinglePlayer Games, or if there are not more PCs at the server. I suggest // to make it a bit lesser than Global in PWs. // // HABD_NOINPARTY_FAST_BLEED // If set to TRUE, then players without a party in a server WITH MORE PCs // (not DMs) playing go through the bleeding stage VERY fast (1 second). They // will still have the stabilization chances. It does not check if there are PCs // near. You can specify the time in seconds using a number e.g 2, 3, 4 instead // of TRUE // // HABD_SOLO_FAST_BLEED // If set to TRUE, then players in a Single player game or alone in the server // will go through the bleeding stage VERY fast. This is useful for single // player modules or when people are playing solo in a multiplayer module. They // will still have the stabilization chances from bleeding to death without // having to wait such a long time to die. It does not check if there are PCs // near. You can specify the time in seconds using a number e.g 2, 3, 4 instead // of TRUE. Default: TRUE. // // HABD_NERF_REGENERATION_ITEMS // Regeneration items will cause the player to never bleed to death. This is // how AD&D intended them to work. Unfortunately NWN regeneration is VERY Fast, // that also means that characters with regeneration items will never die with // this bleeding system. This is why regeneration items should be very rare, yet // few people set up their campaigns that way. // If you set this variable to TRUE, it will enable a workaround that unequips // regeneration items when the player starts bleeding. // // HABD_NO_DEATH_BEFORE_LEVEL // This will turn death off until the players have reached a certain level. // Players are NEVER notified that this setting is turned on (to prevent abuses). // From the player's perspective it will always look like they are stabilizing. // // HABD_POST_BLEED_INVIS_DUR // Setting this value greater than 0.0 will give players invisibility for the // specified period of time after they recover from bleeding. This is to give // them a chance to heal or run away. Also search HABD_POST_BLEED_CONCEAL_DUR // // HABD_ROUNDS_PER_BLEED_* // These variables are used to set how many rounds it takes to bleed -1 HP // based on the player level. If you set the value to 0, the player will // instantly bleed to death. Do not set to a negative value. // // HABD_HEAL_SKILL_DC // DC for Heal Skill when trying to stabilize a PC using the bandages.Default:15 // // HABD_HEALMINOR_SKILL_DC // Once failed the Heal check for stabilization, you can get a result higher // than HABD_HEALMINOR_SKILL_DC, then the PC will be healed up to -1 HP, but // will be still bleeding. 0 = Disabled. // // HABD_ONENTER_INSTANTBLEED // Default = TRUE. If True, when a bleeding player comes from persistence or if // has been loged out a long time, bleeding checks are made instantaneous. It // avoids multiplayer exploits. Set to False if you dont want it. // // HABD_ONENTER_INSTANTBLEED_TIME // On use only if HABD_ONENTER_INSTANTBLEED is TRUE. It enables this feature when // login out-in a long time. Set to 0.0 and Instant bleed will only happen // when coming from persistance. NOTE: It is the time per hp left to die, e.g. // a PC leaving wat -5 hps, can be out -5*15 = 75 seconds. (with deafault 15.0) // // HABD_ALONEINAREA_COUPDEGRACE // If toggled on, a PC bleeding without another PCs in the area, will suffer // a simulated coup de grace (or aditional attack) from a nearby monster, he // will die instantly and receive a message. To turn off: FALSE (default) // To set up, use a number between 1 and 10, it is the chance (using a d10 dice) // to receive the coup de grace (it happens once when he starts bleeding), // 10 = 100% .To specify that good alignment creatures will never perform coup // de grace, use 101 to 110. // We dont allow D&D fortitude saving throws, because any damage is still applied, // and it usually drops you to -10. // Note, Monsters will deal the extra hit even at distance, but within a max // distance of 50 m // // HABD_DELAY_TOHEAL // If 0.0, when the PC stabilizes it heals to 1 HP in a second.

If you are making a single // player module, some persistent data won't be stored anyways because the // OnClientLeave event shuts down the module before it writes to the database. // HOWEVER persistent data can be stored even if OnClientLeave is not fired, // depending of other habd configurations. // // HABD_DB_NAME // The name of the database to store the persistent information. If you leave it // with the default value then the same DB will be used for all modules you run. // If you want to use different databases for different modules then change the // name. // // HABD_ONENTER_HOSTILEREPUTATION // Default TRUE, when entering the PC gets reputation 0 (war) with the hostile // faction.

It will be very usefull if // you are using any kind of DM location manager (or using this Bindstone system // to manage locations). It does NOT restore locations. Read the Respawn options // also. Really it saves locs to DB and loads them after server restart, for // respawn purposes mainly. Furthermore, when doing so it will also save all the // HABD info (hps, state, etc..). // // HABD_BINDSTONE_MANAGE_LOCATIONS // If TRUE, when the PC logsin after a server restart, he will jump to last // bindstone triggered. It is a limited and optional way to make locations // persistent.

Default: "" (no jumping) // // HABD_RESPAWN_PCDEADCLON // (Default TRUE) If set to TRUE, a beatifull and dead clon of the PC will be // created at the location of the PC when he pressed the respawn button. The // clon is not selectable or destroyable.

Only NWN content modified is Raise Dead and Resurrection spells. - It uses DelayCommand events scheduled on the players instead of heartbeats. It only uses CPU cycles when players are bleeding, dying, dead, respawned or entering/leaving the module. This removes the overhead of searching through the player list on the heartbeat. Read the script box for more information about this script. Files Name Type Size Downloads HABD_1_32.zipHABD_1_32.zip Submitted: 10-17-2004 / Last Updated: 07-05-2006 zip 1.1Mb 2894 Package contents

Comments (30): 1 2 3 Posted by cooldaddyo at on07/25/06 I have plopped down the bindstone NPC and the waypoint right from the palate. I have a PC talk to him and get the good repsponse that he is bound. However, upon entering the mod after restart the PC is placed at the module start point and I find this in the serverlog "Location of HABD respawn bindstone stored in DataBase is rigth, but no BlindStone Waypoint was found in the Area. Probably, the area design was changed and any blindstone deleted. The PC will enter without a bindstone, until he founds one." Thanks for the help in advance. Posted by cooldaddyo at on07/25/06 The documentation regarding death,bleeding,respawn system is immaculate. There is lots of great code in this community but rarely is anything this robust structured with end users in mind like this is. However, where can I find some more detailed information regarding implementation of the included bindstone system? Posted by Orca at on07/25/06 A must have for all of my campaigns. Thanks. Posted by IntrepidCW at 2006-07-1303:56:45     Keep reporting any bugs and problems you notice, some of them may be fixed. Posted by Rosietreats at on07/09/06 Awesome Work... once again! Posted by thepaphjort at on07/08/06 Excellent set of scripts! _________________________ Tales of Ardara: Link Posted by IntrepidCW at 11:58:17    Voted10.00 Well this last 1.32 small update just adds the fixes for the problems detected by Kolnstar. If you were using 1.3, you dont need to override your include file (and configs), only the respawn script is changed. Posted by Dantreige at on07/02/06 Can't get much better then this. Posted by puket at on06/27/06 This work is done with brain...:) Congrats! Posted by puket at on06/27/06 Vote 1 2 3 You must be Logged In to post comments in this section.
