Modlet Parachute Hat Mod and Drone Hat Mod

[arramus]

Here is a small server side only standalone modlet that allows players to attach a Parachute Hat Mod and Drone Hat Mod to the dye area of headware.

Parachute Hat Mod

Once attached, it provides the player with 60 seconds of fall damage protection which can be used to launch from a high building.

This fall damage protection is courtesy of TFP's 'Oh @%$#z Drops' and the requisite edited buff code.

In addition, if you depart a vehicle such as the gyro, it will trigger the buff to reset and players will be given another 60 seconds of fall damage protection.

And should you not be wearing the Parachute Hat Mod on your player at the time you depart from an airborne vehicle, you will be able to quickly put it on to avoid an unpleasant landing.

 

The Parachute Hat Mod can also be made on the Workbench using a variety of resources, including Oh @%$#z Drops to give it some context.

 

A few images of it in action.

Description

 

Attaching

 

Today's tester friend is from The Wasteland Mod by @bdubyah. He is using the machete purely for direction purposes. ^^

 

Taking Off

 

Put on the helmet with the parachute attached. You can see the countdown has reached 25 seconds remaining.

 

The counter has reset to 60 seconds and it is clearly sufficient time to land.

 

And here comes the gyro.

 

I was unable to remove part of the parachute model using a trigger within the xml. Something to consider for the future.

 

Drone Hat Mod

And the second hat mod is for the Drone Hat Mod. This mod is purely cosmetic and has no real functional use beyond providing context to a Server Admin in God Mode performing their Godly duties. This mod cannot be crafted and will only be accessible through Creative Mode.

i am new to doing mods in 7 days to die on a hosted server but have edited other games alot. when i download the files for this mod, does the folder and everything just go in the mods folder? or is there specific places that this mods needs to go in?

[arramus]

This mod is installed in exactly the same way as other mods in the Mods folder in the game's main directory. Github has a habit of creating an extra folder surrounding mods and you may need to take the mod folder outside of that extra folder layer before you place it in the Mods folder. You will know which folder is at the correct top hierarchical level because there will be a ModInfo.xml file within it.
