FrozenCorpses

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:

[olist] [*] Subscribe to this mod on the Steam Workshop. [*] Add the mod to the server starting parameter "-mod=@FrozenCorpses;" [*] Copy the "Nate.bikey" into your servers "keys" folder [*] Set the optional server configs - guide below [*] Enjoy! [/olist]

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

<var name="FreezingDeadPlayerTemperature" type="1" value="0.0"/>[/code]
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).

[code]<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"/>[/code]
If you are using the 'Winter Chernarus' or 'Winter Livonia' mods, add this line. Otherwise the snowy clothing texture will not get applied.
