You didn't just die. You survived for a while. You killed things, built things, ate questionable food, and eventually Knox County won. You deserved more than a zombie kill count and three buttons.
[b]The End Credits[/b] replaces the vanilla death screen with a cinematic credits sequence — personalized to your character's specific run. No two deaths look the same.
[hr]
2 versions available
[b]The End Credits (original)[/b] - reimagines the death screen as a cinematic credits sequence, personalized to your character's story.
[b]The End Credits: The Long Goodbye[/b] - replaces the death screen with a slow scrolling credits sequence — your entire run compiled into a single roll, moving from bottom to top like real film credits.
[hr]
What you'll see
[b]Title card[/b]
Your character's name, how long they survived, and how many zombies they killed — fading in slowly over a black screen.
[b]By the numbers[/b]
Days survived, zombie kills, skills leveled, and items carried — laid out like a stat block.
[b]Skills at time of death[/b]
Every skill you leveled above zero, shown as animated fill bars with level numbers next to them.
[b]Last known inventory[/b]
What you were carrying when you died. Duplicate items are stacked — 12x gauge rounds show as one line, not twelve.
[b]Epitaph[/b]
A single line generated from your run. It reads your kills, your dominant skill, how long you lasted, and what you were carrying — and picks the line that fits your death most honestly.
[i]"Five hundred zombies. One got lucky."[/i]
[i]"They built walls to keep the world out. The world got in anyway."[/i]
[i]"They didn't even last an hour."[/i]
[i]"Nothing in their pockets. Nothing left to lose."[/i]
[i]"Knox County claims another. It always does."[/i]
[hr]
How the epitaph is chosen
The mod reads your run and works through a priority list. The first condition that matches your death is the one shown. The order is:
[list]
[*] [b]Kill count[/b] — 100, 200, or 500+ zombies killed
[*] [b]Dominant skill[/b] — whichever skill is highest and above level 5 wins. Skills at level 9 or 10 get an extra sentence added to their line.
[*] [b]Long runs[/b] — 7, 30, 100, or 365+ days survived
[*] [b]Short runs[/b] — died in under an hour, a few hours, half a day, or day one
[*] [b]Empty pockets[/b] — nothing in your inventory at death
[*] [b]Fallback[/b] — This is how you died.
[/list]
If two skills are tied, the one ranked higher in the internal priority list wins.
[hr]
Compatibility
[list]
[*] [b]Build 42 only.[/b] Not compatible with B41.
[*] [b]Singleplayer[/b] — fully supported.
[*] [b]Multiplayer[/b] — works for the dying player. Not extensively tested.
[*] [b]Client-side only.[/b] No server files, no world state changes. Safe to add to any modlist.
[/list]
[hr]
Known limitations
[list]
[*] Cause of death is not shown. B42's API does not expose this reliably at death time.
[*] Panic and stress levels are not shown for the same reason.
[*] Survival time is estimated from real elapsed time since spawn. Accuracy depends on your server's time scale setting — default settings give correct results.
[*] Some item names may fall back to their internal type string if the game's translation is missing for that item.
[/list]
