Morguescreen

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-09

Overview

Morguescreen is a UI screen that presents historical data about player deaths and tracked online player encounters. It extends Screen and provides two tabs: one for local obituaries (from the Morgue data source) and one for online player encounters (from PlayerHistory). It uses a scrollable list architecture with custom row widgets for each data type and supports platform-specific localization (e.g., Japanese PS4 scaling).

Usage example

-- Show the morgue screen with proper screen transition
TheFrontEnd:PushScreen(Morguescreen(prev_screen))
-- Where prev_screen is the screen to return to upon exit

Dependencies & tags

Components used: None directly; uses external UI helper widgets and data stores (Morgue, PlayerHistory, TheNet, TheFrontEnd). Tags: None identified.
