Keep Camera After Death

Keep Camera After Death - Mod for Content Warning

Lost your camera underground? No worries!

In the event of:

• total crew death, or
• a major fumble where your cameraman left the camera behind before returning to the diving bell

This mod respawns the camera at its regular spawn position on the surface when the crew returns in the evening. This means you can still export your footage and upload it to spooktube to watch together on the sofa.

As a bonus, you can optionally incentivise your players to stay alive and bring their camera home with rewards that are configurable in the game settings.

The host decides whether or not rewards should be distributed for returning with the camera. If they choose to enable rewards, they can configure the amount of Meta Coins (MC) and cash revenue the crew should receive.

Changelog

v1.3.0

• Include MMHOOK_Assembly-CSharp.dll in project files, so package dependency on Hamunii-AutoHookGenPatcher-1.0.4 can be removed (in preparation to upload to Steam workshop)
• Pull out logic for the final day into its own tiny mod that is a new dependency: alexandria_p-Always_Play_Final_Day

v1.2.0

• Fixed breaking changes introduced by ContentWarningPlugin & BepInEx.BaseUnityPlugin
• Add DontDestroyOnLoad to handle above point (simple explanation)
• Use the new vanilla CW Settings handler instead of a third-party library (previously ContentSettings 1.2.2)

v1.1.0

• Allow crew to view their camera footage on the final day if they lost their camera underground, even if the footage won't meet quota (turned on by default).
• The base game will end the third day immediately, if it detects quota has not been met.
• This feature can be toggled on or off in the game menu, in case it interacts with other mods.

Why do I need this mod

Pssst - even if you don't use this mod, your video files are still saved if you lost your camera underground. Press F3 to view your videoclips! This will work until you leave the game lobby and can be done in the vanilla (unmodded) game.

The KeepCameraAfterDeath mod just allows players to access that footage in-game on a new videocamera, so they can export it to CD and enjoy watching it together on the sofa.

How does it work?

Here is a breakdown of what happens under the hood.

When a camera is left behind underground, or all crew members die and the camera is forcibly dropped from their inventory, as the diving bell returns to the surface it does a check for any items left behind that it wants to persist for the players to be able to find again in a later dive.

Cameras are one of the item types that are set to persist for future dives (within the same week).

This mod intercepts at this point. It picks up:

• when a camera was left behind this run
• and if that camera does not already exist in the list of persistent objects (so it must be newly dropped)
