Slow Stuff Decay - [Deprecated - use CasPack instead]

Description
[Deprecated - No longer working]
Use my updated one instead: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=700708030



[With smoke signals]
Casual player(s)? Tired of frantically, fruitlessly searching for your body?
This mod slows the decay of your body to 8 hours (real time). If your graphics settings are on medium detail or higher your body will emit a smoke signal. If your body is destroyed via damage (eaten), it drops a backpack as it normally would. Now the backpack decay has been slowed to 8 hours and your backpack will also emit a smoke signal.

Changes miscellaneous dropped items to a 30 minute decay. (Don't litter excessively or it could pile up)

Uses the normal 'TheIsland' map. It just replaces player pawns and the default dropped item BPs

Not recommended for PVP or large slot servers due to potential for corpse and dropped item clutter.

Corpse and item decay rates can now be adjusted in the game settings ini file. So, you can reduce or extend them as desired. See their patch notes.

PLEASE NOTE:
This mod makes changes to the player pawns. This means it would likely only function with Stackable mods if this is the first mod to load.

Just keep this mod, the new one is not working

I've created a new mod that replaces this old one:
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=700708030

I wish I could have updated the old one but it wasn't possible. The new one uses the new ADK and a different approach to implementation.

Thank you to everyone who enjoyed Slow Stuff Decay. Sorry it took so long to update this. I've not had much time for ARK.

For the people not having luck getting this mod working: make sure it is the first mod on the load order. Since it replaces the player body it needs to be first/very early.

To the author: if you are still receving comments about this, can you either release the source or update the mod to the latest ADK? The replaced bodies don't contain the data for hairstyles, so (at least on a female character) it is impossible to cut one's own hair. Thanks.

I'm also getting the issue with it not working at all. I ran up to my bag to check the timer to see if it even changed that but not even that was adjusted. I'm playing a nondedicated server that I run for my friends.

Gave a quick test (island, single player), the mod sadly does not do anything (no smoke).
What a pity, it is really a good idea - does anyone know something similar?

Do anyone have positive experience with this mod?
The idea is extremely good, I'm often frustrated after death that I have hard time to find my body/bag in the forest... but the comments below looks discouraging.

@Author:
"Corpse and item decay rates can now be adjusted in the game settings ini file."

Do you mean that the official GlobalCorpseDecompositionTimeMultiplier and GlobalItemDecompositionTimeMultiplier options has to be used, so your mod has no other setting/override on this?

Is strange, but my character was bugger with this mod, it deformed when I (owner the server) use the shield and see the character on 3re person, and can't use the sword!, I don't now why, it's very strange, I removed it for that
