Penalize Death OXP
Ironman in Oolite: 3 OXPs by Spara
I want games to be hard, like they used to be when I was young. I love addons like Battle Damage, the Breakable 'Standard' Equipment OXPs, NPC-shields OXP, Second Wave OXP, Deep Space Pirates etc. But death does not hurt, because I can always reload and all is good again. I want to change that, I want death to hurt, and so I wrote these oxps.

Penalize Death OXP
Overview
Normally, when you die, your latest save is loaded and the game goes on. This oxp changes that. With this oxp, when you die, your latest save is loaded, your credits are halved and the game goes on. This brings a whole new tension to the game. You don't want to die, it will cost you credits.
Installing
Install the OXP by copying PenalizeDeath_1.0_2012-09-05.oxp to your AddOns-folder.
Usage
* Start a game and make a save. * Start your commander's name with the letters PD (PDJameson for example). * Turn on autosave. * Play some Oolite. * End the session with Quick-Save.
If you die after autosave, you will be penalized. So it's important to end the session with Quick-Save.
Technical
On autosave, a missionvariable is marked to penalize. On normal Quick-Save, the missionvariable is marked not to penalize. On load missionvariable is checked.
In case of game crash or similar, it's a good idea to edit the savefile not to penalize.
