Revive a dead character? Coop

[Poobah]

Was playing coop and died due to a bug with the interior Rv mod we were using. Is there anyway to recover my dead character?
I’m relatively new and am no stranger to dying and starting over, but it stings even worse when it was a death that was not my fault.

[Nuk]

Just managed to revive a character who was already deceased (he jumped off the roof when a window popped up ).

Now here's the situation: you'll find yourself facing your lifeless body, with the subtitles scrolling up - confirming you're completely dead.
Don't start a new character. Instead, back up your 'dead save'.

And edit the players.db in your deceased save using DB Browser. Toggle the boolean value of "isDead" from 1 to 0, and save the changes.
This makes your character "alive" again, but with 0 HP, so be aware that he will kick the bucket as soon as you load the game again.

Now comes the tricky part. You need to enable god mode right after you enter your saved game. Using -debug mode is a no-go, because with 0 HP, you won't have the time to pause and cheat. However, with a mod like Necro Forge 2.9b [Build 41] , this seemed to work for me. I can't guarantee this is foolproof – it might be a coincidence or something else I did.

Here's what I did before the revival:
After editing the .db file, I loaded the dead save and, unsurprisingly, died again. Then, I clicked the icon in the bottom right to open its panel and looked for a full health option somewhere (I was just randomly trying things out). Expectably, nothing changed, but it seemed to activate god mode and save it into my dead save.

Afterwards, I went back to the main menu without quitting the game. The dead save was still there. I edited its .db file again, accessed the save once more, and this time, my character revived with full HP. He had no clothing and the body of another him lay beneath his feet. Skills and stats remained intact.

You need to edit players.db of your dead save via DB Browser first. toggle the bool "isDead" from 1 to 0 and save it.
Then your character is "alive" but with 0 HP, which means he will die again once you load the game. 

now you need to find a way to enable god mode right after you enter your save. Just with -debug mode is impossible, cus 0 HP left you no time to pause&cheat. but with some mod, Necro Forge 2.9b [Build 41] this seems worked for me.

I m NOT 100% sure if this does the trick, maybe it s a coincidence or i did something else.



I did the following before revival.
After editing the .db file, I loaded the dead save and of course immediately died again, then I clicked the icon in the bottom right to open its panel and clicked a full health option somewhere (im not familiar with this mod and was just trying) and nothing changed. But it seems to turn on god mode in my dead save, though my character was already dead.
Then, I returned to the main menu without quitting the game, Still the dead save, I edited its .db file again. And entered the save again, then I revived with full hp. and with no clothing, and my body lying under my feet. Skills and stats remained.

I cannot thank you enough. This is exactly what worked. After searching and seeing that it would be impossible to hit god mode in time by the time the game loaded and trying to do that about 10 times I found this post. The steps as you described with the mod worked flawlessly

But it seems to turn on and save the god mode into my dead save, though my character was already dead.

This is undoubtedly the ultimate solution. I died senseless and unfairly at 3 seconds for touching the campfire a bit, losing days of progress. I just rewarded you (and this is my first time doing it), you deserve it.

As we say here in Spain: Eres el pu-to amo!

Dios santo hermano, me pasó justamente lo mismo, y peor porque no siquiera fue mi culpa, ♥♥♥♥ a mi personaje a recoger un cuerpo y el muy estúpido como estaba frente a una fogata camino sobre ella, pensé que la esquivaria pero solo siguió de largo y murió quemado

aprovechando a la comunidad española voy a comentar yo tambien, mi pc esta mayor y a veces se suspende. La P*** gracia es que el juego sigue andando mientras el pc esta suspendido y la ultima vez que me pasó un z me hizo una laceración "Menos mal que solo fue eso"

Entonces: En el caso en que me suceda de nuevo y sea mordisco, antes de que el virus knoxs me convierta se puede eliminar solo la enfermedad?

Now in english: My pc tends to shut down but game still running, last time I got a laceration and its unfair since my pc is off so... If in the future it happens and I got bitten, Can I disable the Knoxs disease before I turn on a Z?

Yes, go into debug mode and turn infection to false.

Then get your friends to clear the area, and log back in. Good as new.

Im playing single apocalypse ;D
