With this mod you can create custom death messages for when you explode in multiplayer! It also allows you to change messages for more than just deaths.
To find the JSON file you need to edit, first Browse your profile folder from the Thunderstore app (as shown in the video). From there:
Go into the BepInEx folder, the plugins folder, and then the DistanceModdingTeam-CustomDeathMessages folder. There you will find the JSON file that you can edit to make custom death messages.
The mod description on Thunderstore/Github also have instructions on how to edit the JSON file.

So, as I discussed in the video, this is the last mod I had planned to port before shifting my priorities back to the level editor. I'll still be making mod updates here or there when there are bugs to fix or little things to add, but for now, that's it. If you have any other mods you would like to be ported, just ask! I may be willing to do it in-between making stuff in the editor. I'll do it faster if you throw money at me though :])
Feels good to get a lot of this stuff done.

I have recorded a video for this track before, but it wasnt with the song that inspired it playing. Also this level is pretty much the exact length of the song on a good diamond run. Wanted to showcase that.
ENGAGE REX may be an overly intense level, but I kind of love it for what it is. Nailing every speed boost is SOOOO hard you do not know how many takes I did for this.
I might play Engremix with the song that inspired it too later.")

A mini campaign made by Hirochi a while ago.
A really quick set of levels that sends a car into a city that has been ravaged by the virus to see if the quarantine zone is still intact.
Not sure if it was intentional, but I love that the wrong way message appears at the final level. Its directives know that the car is approaching certain doom, but it keeps driving forward anyway...self-preservation be damned..
Message didnt have a collection before, but it was always intended to be a mini-campaign so I put a collection together myself so it can be downloaded easily. Check it out!

The somewhat start of another era. There were these ancient levels in Distance that were called boat levels. The concept was brought back by a map creator called Pinapl. Heavily inspired and unreasonably hyped up by the return of a boat level, I created this level that was meant to be a challenging boat due to there being gaps.
This was met with a lot of criticism though since the cars collision gets wonky upside-down. Boat as a concept just wasnt very smooth unless under specific conditions.
and well....I got to thinkin.")

Yup here it is, the new version of boat that I created. I fix the problem with the collisions in boat by removing collisions entirely. Unexpectedly for me, a lot of players actually liked it, and thus I continued to make these.
A few more changes were made as of recent, mainly pushing down the killgrid. Before the killgrid was high enough to pretty much force the player to be upside-down, but now there is more freedom in movement.
(Also apologies for recording stuff in a lowish quality)")

This is my first distance level. It actually has a lot of visual upgrades compared to the initial upload, but the layout of the track itself has never been changed. I did pretty alright for a first released level.")
