Resurrection at the place of death

Disable on-site resurrection if the character is on a ship, as it doesn’t work anyway. Replace in the CStartMgr::_evtReliveFormMouseEvent (~str 785) function

	C++:

else if (name == "btnReSpot")
{
 // We send a request for resurrection at the place of death
 CS_DieReturn(enumEPLAYER_RELIVE_ITEM_ORIGIN);

Nice idea.

IMO, there should be a way to counter it: a skill that force a dead player to respawn in town.

On the server, in CCharacter::Cmd_BeginSkill(…), there is a strict check if (!IsLiveing()

…) return; — it disables any active use of skills for a dead character. Of course, you can rewrite this check and allow the casting of a specific skill for self-resurrection.

However, in my opinion, my implementation is consistent with most MMORPGs, such as World of Warcraft, Perfect World, Lineage II, Lost Ark, etc.

Additionally, this implementation allows you to profitably sell resurrection items for IMPs.

Sorry for the confusion, but what I meant is that enemies should be able to counter resurrection mechanics.

For example:

Player 1 dies and is waiting for the resurrection cooldown.
Player 2 can cast a skill on Player 1’s corpse to force them to respawn in town.

Amazing idea! It would be interesting to use a Lua Plugin to remove this functionality in the final minutes of a given maze, preventing some joker from trying to respawn in the last seconds of the map to receive a certain reward.

		In the lua script, you can completely disable resurrection on certain maps.

	C++:

-- List of maps where resurrection at the place of death is prohibited
local FORBIDDEN_RESURRECT_MAPS = {
 "guildwar",
 -- Add other maps as needed.
 -- "map_name_2",
 -- "map_name_3",
}
