Introduction

The death penalty in HumanitZ determines what a player loses upon death. Depending on your server's playstyle, you might prefer a more forgiving survival experience or a harsher system that increases tension and risk.

Configuration

The death penalty is controlled in the GameServerSettings.ini file. You can find this file in the Configuration tab of your game server (raw text view). In the config file, look for the following parameter:

Code

;0=Lose nothing, 1=Lose backpack and weapon in hand, 2=Previous + pockets and backpack, 3=All previous + equipped gear
OnDeath=2

The value after OnDeath= determines how much of a player's inventory is lost upon death:

0 – Players lose nothing
1 – Players lose their backpack and the weapon currently held in hand
2 – Previous losses + pockets and backpack contents
3 – All previous + equipped gear

To adjust the penalty, simply change the number to your desired value. After editing the file, save your changes and restart the server for the new setting to take effect.

Conclusion

Congratulations! By changing the OnDeath value in the GameServerSettings.ini, you have successfully configured the death penalty on your HumanitZ game server. If you have any further questions or need assistance, our support team is available daily! 🙂
