Title: Possibility to disable the vanishing corpses
Post by: Kenny on 30 July 2016, 16:27:33

Hello everyone!

Is there any way to disable the vanishing corpses? Maybe there is a code to set a limit for the total amount of bodies on the map to save hardware resources. I would love to see the traces of war while playing. That would be so stunning.

Hi and welcome to the forum Kenny!  8)

As far as I know, that is limited in the engine. Currently however, our programmers are busy in real life. Titi should be back from vacation soon though.

Thank you so much. :)

I read something about remaining corpses at the vanilla glest release notes (release 0.2.0 https://docs.megaglest.org/Glest ). Therefore, I thought it could still be possible.

Hmmmm... I support this feature. I think there should still be a limit, but perhaps it can be made customizable via a setting?

Can't you just set the time factor for the corpse to an arbitrarily large number and have it persist forever? Since its not animated and has no collision properties or unit data it should be relatively easy on server resources. Or is the time setting a GAE thing?

Some parts of the game logic depends on real "death" of units, like game end for example.  So its not just a display thing and by this a bit more complicated. ( I myself will not add this in the near future  )
