Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum but have been playing rust since legacy. I'm currently in the process of setting up a dedicated server for Rust and I'm looking to work with someone interested in helping develop a perma death mod for rust.
This isn't a discussion about whether it is a good idea or not, instead it's a discusion on
- how this could be implemented
- who is interested in helping
Summary
A mod that introduces perma-death to Rust.
Perma-death resets when server is wiped.
Possible Methods Implementation
1. Ban player until reset
If a player is killed, they are automatically added to the banned list until the server is wiped (using CanBeWounded Oxide hook)
- If player is automatically banned, can a custom message be given to the player if they try to join? Something like "You're dead, next wipe is xx/xx/xx.
- When server is wiped (force wipe or admin wipe), banned list should automatically reset.
- How to deal with issue of banning hackers and unbanning dead players? Can banned users have a comment associated with them?
- Can the unbanning process be automated? Perhaps when a killed player is banned, their steam ID is stored. When the server is wiped, those particular users are unbanned (usingremoveid "steamid" and the Oxide data table feature)
2. Timed ban until reset
To minimise admin work a schedule for server wipe could be configured and the player could be banned for x time calculated as scheduled wipe date time minus current time.
3. Remove ability to respawn
This seems like something that is hardcoded, but might be possible.
3. Purgatory
When a player respawns, they are spawned into a zoned/private area where they can no longer interact with living players. Possibly using the OnFindSpawnPoint Oxide hook.
Other Issues/Ideas
1. Automation
As a mod, it should require minimal admin duties such
Unbanning dead players
Announcing new wipe
2. Publishing data to web
What kind of data can be captured from the game and made available as XML for web publishing? It would be great if a record of each wipe/season could be published to a website with who survived each wipe/season along with some of their stats.
- Does anyone have any other suggestions for how perma-death could be achieved?
- Is anyone interested in helping develop the mod? (I have pretty limited coding skills but keen to learn)
- Which language would be best to use for this mod?

This could be done with something like this totally untested code that i wrote in Notepad
Of course, this uses a fictional plugin called DeathsDatabase to see how many times the player has died by userid.Code:private object CanClientLogin(Network.Connection connection) { //Check how many deaths they have had. if (Convert.ToInt32(DeathsDatabase.CallHook("PlayerDeathsFromID", connection.userid)) > 1 ) return "You have died already and cannot play here"; // Client is not in the DB already, allow them to play return true; }
If the player has died before, their connection will be terminated with the reason of "You have died already and cannot play here", which will be shown to them in the servers description window at the bottom.
Neat idea though, perhaps ConnectionsDB can be modified to save Deaths of players too. -
Or you could just be a little less lazy and save it yourself in 5 minutes of work.

You can use Whitelist plugin and customize message with : You are dead, come back next wipe!
Just call whitelist plugin and remove him from the whitelist, You should add the player to list when init and remove from list when dead
-
Im curious which direction you went, many different possibilities!
