"Proper" dead bodies mod... done :-)

Time ago I thought it wasn't possible, but...

(from our site)

"Today, an old aspiration of mankind, or at least of us, mohaa players, has been acomplished. The 1936 is proud to bring you the first mod which properly makes the bodies of dead players to stay in place for the duration of the round.

Yes, we know it was done before -by scorpiomidget-, but in our version bodies stay in the appropiate position (in the scorpio's one every dead body looked the same, and it was not a pose corresponding to death animations). In order to avoid a performance decrease on lower machines, it will be running on non-respawn modes only.

Since it's a server-side mod, it's already running on the Official server, but it will not be publicly available until the next official release of 1936. If you're admin of a 1936 server and you're interested in adding it to your server, mail me or post a comment here."

1.- Currently it's for BT, of course, but it can be replicated on Mohaa/Spearhead, nothing special to it.

2.- I'm not sure, but it's very possible, specially in 1936 since bodies have a lot of gear on them and weapons do also stay in place on non-respawn games (that's why it's disabled on respawn games, see the post ). It can be modified to work on any gametype, by the way.

A mandar,

P.D.: Sorry for mispelling your name on a previous post, I thought you were klaus, our chilean friend. You know, a german nickname is a german nickname after all... Sorry

Then wait to see our medic implementation... I'm still polishing details of the idea, more on this later...

looks cool :beerbang:

Nice work... how did you get the bodies to spawn in the right pose? I was trying to do this when I started the Freeze-Tag mod because originally I was going to make it more like a medic mod, but I couldn't get it to spawn a body in the same exact spot and pose as the dead player's body.

Basically, you intercept the player at the moment of death, replace it with an actor, and play the appropiate death on him (actors are not removed after death, see single player game)

Once the next version of the mod is released everyone will be able to tear it apart to see how it's done

sounds awesome

Yes i would like to run this mod for my server on spearhead, but of course there would be lagg on the server when im on it ill be kickin ass dead bodies everywhere :lol: !

Yochoy, is this mod publicly available yet?

It is, but not as a standalone mod, I mean, it's part of 1936, which is publicly available.

Awesome, i been looking for this for years... is somebody working to make this for AA? If not... ill give it a go.

It's fairly easy to do

but don't think its posible without a statefile edit.

have a look at the killed state then you will see how to determine how the player died.

with that info exec a script to hide the player spawn a model and play the correct anim.

I've had a look at it but it's a bit over my head, im still in the training fase.

ok..

well here is an edited killed state i ripped out of one of my old mods..

 entrycommands

 }
}
state REVIVAL

 states
 {

 }
}

now create the script:

Code:

global/dead_body.scr

containing this:

Code:

main local.anim:
 
local.body = spawn animate origin self.origin model self.model
local.body anim local.anim
 
 
end
 

just wrote that in here so it is untested..

How should i save the state now? Under what name...

edit: Nevermind i just figured it out...
