Important Improvement Needed! Blocking Corpses...

[Elrapido]

Aye, mateys! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />

First of all: My greatest respect to all of you modders! You did a great job there! Keep on the excellent work! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

There is a serious problem when you are fighting on land, respectively boarding a ship. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" />

The corpses of the fallen enemies (and of your less protected officers and crewmates <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> ) block the way, because they are subject to <b>collision detection</b>.
Would someone please make a mod - maybe CorpseMod <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> - which enables the characters to simply step over the dead bodies, if it is possible?
Sometimes you can not reach an enemy, because everybody is stuck in corpses and blocking each others way.
The removal of the collision detection for dead people would be a major improvement and would make the fights much better!

Corpses will do that!

Why don't you just loot them to clear your path ("O" key) ?
You could also just turn off CorpsMode and turn LOOTDEAD_ON in the BuildSetting.h file.

i kinda agree with him. maybe you can make it so you can doa kind of jump or walk over a corpse? I agree they are kind of annoying.

Personally I like looting the corpsees, press "o" and get the weapons, gold, health potions and others. After you loot them they disappear. You can also sidiestep them.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

The problem with the corpses is that there are two ways to handle them:
1) The way it is done now, the corpses are characters and you can't walk through characters. However, that enables you to "talk" to the corpses and loot them.
2) The corpses are characters that, after they die, don't disappear. You can walk through these kind of characters, but the problem that occurs is when these characters have to die for a quest, the game won't count them as dead, because they're still there.
Obviously, the first option is preferrable, because it won't mess up the game. And because those blocking corpses can be annoying sometimes, we added the "O" key that can loot corpses without having to put your blade away. The blocking corpses can sometimes be handy too, because your enemies can't get to you either. However, you can shoot at them with your gun. Don't let the apparent red target at one of the corpses fool you; the damage is done to a living enemy instead. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

If you really don't like this mod, set CORPSE_MODE to 0 in BuildSettings.h.

Thank ye very much for yer help, mateys! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

Setting the CORPSEMODE to 0 worked fine for me. Now I can engage everyone in battle! Hooray!

By the way: What is the button "Sell All Loot" doing exactly?
When I used it in my last game, it sold my diamonds and other +1 to stats gear, not all of it, but quite a lot. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I think it sells everything that isn't a blade, gun or piece of armor. So it will probably sell all diamond, jewels and other random items, even if they give you a bonus.

BTW: You can set LOOT_DEAD on; then you will automatically get the blade, gun and gold of the enemies you kill.
