Grim Tales

Grim Tales 7DTD XML mod.

A small collection of short stories that give a glimpse into the lives/deaths of other survivors.
The Storylines introduce unique items mid-late game.

1) Missing Patrol Car – break into a number of Cop Cars without lockpicking to engage.
2) Mary’s Revenge – triggered at a 3000 Kill Streak (Configurable). Kill Streak resets on death.
3) Pigeons Carry Diseases – pigeons: some people hate them and some people absolutely adore them.
4) Interloper – keeping your eyes and ears open can lead to interesting things.

Notes

• You can increase or lower the Kill Streak requirement for Mary’s Revenge. See killStreakTarget in buffs.xml, under the line <!–PLAYER CONFIG VARIABLES–>
• These are not Trader quests or missions. They occur as you play the game (mid-late game).
• This is an XML mod and some of the storytelling is bounded by the capabilities of the XML framework.
• The mod has not been tested in a multiplayer environment. Feedback on this is welcome.

License

The code is free to use and commented with that in mind. A thank you would be nice if you reuse the code/patterns.

This mod comes from the Survival No Trader mod.

Recommend starting a new game.
