pressure drop

A [ server-side / host-only ] mod that adds a /drop item (/drop <itemnamenospaces> [@]) chat command.

why?

sometimes I [ take the wrong item / want to help others catch up ].

balance

strategic! a typing challenge!

• sacrifice more time than at a Scrapper to reduce the risk of a Printer or Cauldron taking the wrong item
• more opportunities to use the Recycler
• leave items for your allies:
  • to help distribute the wealth
  • to help them win against the Teleporter boss (you died)
• can remove items you are not having fun with
• can spread void items between players

/drop item command

configurable

/reload can be used to apply changes made to the configuration file without needing to restart the game (must be hosting a run to use)

• the drop command can be disabled
• the ability to send items to the Teleporter can be disabled
• the ability for dead players to drop items can be disabled
• the ability to drop void items can be enabled
• the drop direction can be inverted (i.e. drop behind instead of drop in front)
• the maximum amount of items to drop to at a time can be configured as you see fit (default: 10, to match Scrappers)
• which item tiers should be recyclable when dropped can be configured as you see fit (default: only white and green)

• DropItem ^v1.3.0 by Thrayonlosa — similar /drop functionality, inspired this implementation
  • can drop equipment
  • can drop from another player's inventory
  • only drops around the executing player (must be alive)
  • not configurable (e.g. max drop stack size, recyclability)
  • drops [ consumed / broken ] items
  • drops all shoot in same direction — scatters messily once landed
    • drop direction is fixed (rather than using aim direction)

end

• a tip: /d . can be used to drop the newest item type in your inventory — experiment!
