FrozenCorpses

Description

Overview:
The project's goal is to give a realistic feeling of the enviroment enclosing around the dead: Intended for more immersion in cold servers, primarily using the Namalsk Island and Namalsk Survival mods.

This mod adds frost and snow to dead players after they would normally decay. A dead body freezes depening on the surrounding temperature and will be covered in snow depening on the location.
Once a body is frozen, it can no longer be looted or skinned. You could try warming it up though.

Features:
  • 30 new character frost textures, applied when a body decays in freezing temperatures.
  • A new snowy textures for clothing, applied when a body freezes on snow or ice.
  • Frozen bodies can not be looted or skinned, but can be buried.
  • Frozen bodies will last much longer than normal bodies and the time depends on the temperature.
Server installation:
  1. Subscribe to this mod on the Steam Workshop.
  2. Add the mod to the server starting parameter "-mod=@FrozenCorpses;"
  3. Copy the "Nate.bikey" into your servers "keys" folder
  4. Set the optional server configs - guide below
  5. Enjoy!


The following values can optionally be added to your mpmissions/your.mission/db/globals.xml:

<var name="FreezingDeadPlayerTemperature" type="1" value="0.0"/>
This is the ambient temperature in °C at which player corpses freeze. Default value is "0.0".
If you do not want every corpse on regular namalsk to freeze, I recommend setting this to around -8.0 to -11.0 (this depends on your server settings/temperature).

<var name="CleanupLifetimeFrozenPlayer" type="0" value="600"/>
This is the lifetime of frozen corpses (in seconds) per degree below the configured freezing point. Default value is "600".
When using the default freezing point of 0.0 and a player that decayed at -10°C, the frozen body will last 6000s (=100min).
I recommend setting this a lot lower for high population (>30) namalsk servers.
The "CleanupLifetimeDeadPlayer" value still applies, bodies will freeze after the normal lifetime (after 70% of that lifetime to be exact).

<var name="UseWinterChernarusLivonia" type="0" value="1"/>
If you are using the 'Winter Chernarus' or 'Winter Livonia' mods, add this line. Otherwise the snowy clothing texture will not get applied.

Welp. I dont think I have any other mod installed that changes this, and the problem was fixed When I uninstalled this one, its a shame..

@Dr. Berry - this sounds like a problematic compatibility with another mod, or an incorrectly set config
Dr. Berry 24 Jun @ 5:26pm 
@George , me and my players look like dead players and COT is not working properly while having this mod active, very strange

if you don't know how to install the mod, then I suggest you to watch some tuts on youtube
Dr. Berry 7 Jun @ 3:37pm

George 7 Jun @ 2:03am
