[41] Respawn in Car [MP/SP]

Project Zomboid: Stay in the Driver’s Seat with Respawn in Car

Ever experienced the frustration of disconnecting from your Project Zomboid server only to find yourself stranded miles away from your vehicle upon logging back in? Or perhaps you’ve been the sole survivor waiting for companions to catch up before embarking on your next road trip? With the Respawn in Car mod, these scenarios are a thing of the past, ensuring your adventures on the road are seamless and uninterrupted.

Your Vehicle Awaits

This innovative mod introduces a crucial feature: if your character disconnects while inside a vehicle, you will automatically respawn within that same vehicle when you reconnect. This applies even if the vehicle has been moved by other players in the interim. It’s like having a guaranteed spot saved just for you, ready for your return to the journey.

Managing Vehicle Capacity

Respawn in Car also intelligently handles vehicle occupancy. If a vehicle is already at its maximum capacity, whether filled with currently online players or those who have disconnected, no additional players will be able to enter. This prevents overcrowding and maintains a realistic feel for vehicle capacity within the game world.

Key Features at a Glance

• Disconnecting inside a vehicle automatically respawns you there upon reconnecting.
• Prevents new players from entering vehicles that are already full with connected or disconnected occupants.
• Provides a “Respawn Ticket” system for disconnected players, ensuring their place in a vehicle.
• Includes context menu options to check for passengers (both online and disconnected).
• Allows players (and admins) to remove disconnected passengers occupying seats via context menus.
• Offers debug access for administrators or players in debug mode for enhanced control.

Seamless Integration and Functionality

The Respawn in Car mod is designed to be non-intrusive, integrating smoothly with your existing Project Zomboid experience. It operates by triggering at specific player interactions, such as entering, exiting, or changing seats within a vehicle, and upon player connection. For server optimization, the mod efficiently checks for vehicle movement only when a player is actively in the driver’s seat, saving crucial server resources. This mod works with both single-player and multiplayer, and is safe to add to existing saves. Existing settings are also preserved upon reinstallation, ensuring your preferred configuration remains intact.
