Naked Corpses

[bufferofnewbies]

I'm not too good with code myself, but perhaps a check for:
1. if the corpse is left by a player, and/or
2. if the corpse is res'able for xp gain
before it continues with the delete commands in each of those places?

I'm not sure what kind of impact that would make on the server load, although.

[John Adams]

I awoke this morning from a nightmare about this feature request. I was suddenly thinking, what about systems with PvP Loot 1 Item enabled? If corpses have no gear left on them, this would be impossible. So it'll likely be either one way or the other. I doubt PVP servers want their players spawning with gear loaded anyway, so it may not be a problem at all.

I am having compile issues already by just simple replacing the if(leavecorpses) with the switch(leavecorpses), and not sure why. Keep the ideas coming. I'm hoping this is as cut & dry as it appears, but you're right - something deeper may be effected by adding this functionality.

In PVP no experence is lost from a PVP kill, Here is a Unified Diff file of PlayerCorpse.cpp. (EQEmu-0.7.0-857) The bottom line is all sections that delete corpses need to be removed except for the finished loot section.
