Some Way to Track Naughtiness?

[Chaquinn]

So recently I was fooling around with commands on a test world. After having a mass genocide of butterflies, I noticed that a bunch of Krampii, (plural of Krampus) started spawning. I've always been interested in naughtiness and have never actually gotten a Krampus attack without using commands. Not too long ago I looked on the workshop to see if there was a mod that could track naughtiness. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.

 

So basically what I'm saying is that there should be something to track naughtiness. I know that there is a "hiss" or something that indicates that, but it would be cool if there was an item that could indicate it. Maybe it could be crafted, or found in a set piece? My idea is when you examine it, your character will have a dialogue indicating different levels. Like maybe when youre really close to Krampus, "I'm getting coal for Christmas" or "I hope Karma doesn't catch up to me." Pretty similar to the Thulecite Amulet.

 

That's all I have for now. Tell me your opinions in the comments, I wouldn't mind for it to be at least considered as an item or mechanic. Anyways, have a good day everyone!

It's because naughtiness is server-side and global in DST, so clientside mods don't have the data to display on your screen.

Or something like that.

Yeah, a medallion like that could be cool, but at the same time I think that 'hissing' is enough of an indication already.

It could be made into a mod, though.

Once you've gone through the hissing process a couple of times, it's actually very clear where you stand on naughtiness. The intensity of the hissing varies as you get closer, getting louder and more threatening.

I just think it would be cool to make it into an item/mod. My computer speakers broke a while back, so I have actually never heard the hissing before. It could be good for early players, or people who don't use headphones and things like that. Thanks for your opinions.

@Chaquinn Well, I believe it would actually be possible to have a client-only mod that turns the hiss into something visual. The warning sound is produced by the krampuswarning_lvl1/2/3 prefabs, which it looks like are defined in prefabs/monsterwarningsounds (that was pretty hard to find, actually...). So, maybe something like this:

local messages = {
	krampuswarning_lvl1 = "Krampus hisses faintly...",
	krampuswarning_lvl2 = "Krampus's hissing grows closer...",
	krampuswarning_lvl3 = "Krampus hisses right behind you!",
}

for prefab,message in pairs(message) do
	AddPrefabPostInit(prefab, function(inst)
		if GLOBAL.ThePlayer then
			GLOBAL.ThePlayer.HUD.controls.networkchatqueue:DisplaySystemMessage(message)
		end
	end)
end

Krampus hisses right behind you!....

I don't know how to feel about the context of this xD

xD Well, writing strings is definitely not my forte. If any modder wants to take this under their wing, feel free to take the code and plop it in an all-clients modmain, and adjust it however you feel like.

You have a marvellously wicked mind. Hold onto it.

Hmm... I can write examination quotes if that is what you need... For Great Justice, naturally. And A Hard-Boiled Egg.
