[Mutator] Dosh Grab

[poosh]

DOSH!
Grab it while it's hot!
​

Basically that's it ^
Killing ZEDs makes them dropping money instead of adding it directly to player's wallet. And players must grab it while it's hot, i.e. while it isn't disappeared.

Download links:
Vanilla Version. Dosh multipliers are hard-coded to default KF values. Whitelisted.
SE Version. Same as vanilla version + allows to modify dosh multipliers.

The best part is that this mutator is compatible with almost everything: vanilla game, ServerPerks, ScrnBalance, Team Survival Competition, custom specimens and even Doom3 monsters!


There are two modes (configurable by bDropTeamDosh in DoshGram.ini):

1. Leave team money (bDropTeamDosh=False). ZEDs drop only player's bounty. Team's budget (money that players get at the end of the wave) works as in original game.
2. Drop team money (bDropTeamDosh=True, default). ZEDs drop all bounty, nothing goes to team's budget. Players don't get anything at the end of the wave. If you didn't picked dosh, then you won't get any.

Another configurable feature is ZED's ability to grab dosh (enabled by default). Dosh makes zeds stronger (i.e. gives them health). Zeds do not eat dosh. They just collect it. Killing zed makes it dropping all the dosh it grabbed. But killing the Clot who grabbed

This sounds like a blast!
It reminds me of the dosh game (players dropping cash at front [mostly only 1

Sounds like a good reason to bump the endgame bonus for a special weekend event

Related anecdote:

Spoiler!

The very first time I played KF, I was somehow unfamiliar with this kind of "kill for bounty" system (yes I never played CS) and that struck me how the zeds could carry dosh on them since they have no pockets

Later I realized that its most likely the DRF or the trader herself paid the bounties and the zeds don't really carry dosh on them. The existence of this mutator tells me that I should not ask myself too much questions.

This might, however, encourage kiting, as there is no reward for distant kills.

I think it'd be the opposite; if you had a whole swarm of zeds behind you and you killed a few, you wouldn't be able to pick up the money.

If you look at the video, you can see the zeds are throwing the money forward like a player does when tossing cash. Holding is probably more affected.

Ah that's true; I hadn't watched the video. Would be better if upon death the specimen throws cash in the direction of the nearest zed.

That would make it much tougher haha

Zeds are throwing dosh at the direction they are looking (Rotation). Usually they are looking at players.

 

[Reallifeh8er]

Can you make it compatible with the weaponized-dosh please? So you can choose if dosh is making zed's stronger or damage those, who pick it up (or neither).

This is awesome

It is interesting, and different. Only thing I noticed odd was it doesn't "show" the dropped dosh in my server.

What do you mean with "it doesn't show"? Is it invisible or zeds do not drop dosh at all?

*** EDIT:
Got it. I forgot to add it to server packages. I'll update it when I get home.

 

[poosh]

Mutator Updated.

Fixed adding to server packages.

Added DropKind config variable, which allows different ways for dosh to be dropped:

• Toss (DropKind=0). Zeds are tossing money in front of them, like the players do (default).
• Spawn (DropKind=1) dosh is spawned on the top of the zed. Like it is shown in the video below.
• Dosh fart. Do zeds poop after they die? They will, if you set DropKind=2

KF: Dosh Grab Mutator, vol2 - YouTube

 

[shaitan]

Yeah it was invisible, you could hear it drop though. I'll try out your update shortly...so I can see them poop. xD

 

[poosh]

Updated to v1.0:
Added MaxHealthMult config variable.

Released in 2 versions:

1. Vanilla, which will be submitted to whitelist, doesn't allow to modify amount of dosh dropped.
2. SE - allows modifying dosh amount.

I've put this on every voting options on my vehicle mod server, works awesomely, you can't just run over the zeds now, gotta get out of your car and pick up the dosh.

Also, Arachonophobia Doshgrab, don't know why didn't I try this before, makes it even more messy

That sounds pretty cool by forcing you the challenge of killing only or getting out and trying to get the cash too.

 

[TheArcade]

Played around with it and it adds a whole level of challenge. A stupid idea came into my head, what if there was an option of instead of dropping dosh they would drop grenades! haha.

Now mutator is whitelisted!
