What does this addon do?
When you shoot an NPC, the bullet holes stay on its body... until it dies and turns into a ragdoll. Then they're gone. This addon carries every decal from the dying NPC onto its corpse, so the ragdoll keeps all the damage you gave it. Simple as that.
What was wrong with the original?
The original mod by zippy worked great for regular NPCs, but it broke on VJ Base and DrGBase NPCs that play death animations. The problem? Those addons spawn the corpse themselves a moment after the NPC dies, and the game deletes the dying NPC before the mod could find the corpse. The decals got destroyed along with the NPC and nothing transferred. This version fixes that with a proper "rescue" system that grabs the decal data the instant the NPC is removed and waits for the corpse to show up, no matter how long the death animation takes.
What was improved?
- VJ Base & DrGBase NPCs with death animations now keep their decals (completely broken before)
- No more pop-in — decals are already on the corpse the very first frame it appears
