Changes to corpse rules

I tested this last night- by accident (acidently nuked myself =) - and this does not hold true.

I have set DeathItemLossLevel to 0 , and LeaveNakedCorpses true

yet when I died, all my items remained on the corpse

also i think these rules kind of overlap:

You should be able to drop leavenakedcorpse rule and use DeathItemLossLevel (0) as "die, leave corpse, but never leave items"

It sounds like DeathItemLossLevel refers to the minimum character level at which items will be left on the corpse when you die, so setting it to 0 would mean items are left on corpses at all levels upon death.

Setting it to some huge number like 200 would then mean you would always keep your items upon death regardless of level.

Thats what I had to do.

But there is no such thing as level 0, thats why I propose to drop that other rule and use 0 as "never loose items" - this way you fit 2 rules into 1

Which other rule?

And how does that improve anything? It gives two different behaviors in the same rule which is likely to be confusing to many. Plus, it works now so why fix what isn't broken?

Not trying to be negative, but I simply do not see the advantage of what you are suggesting.

look what Cavedude said:

LeaveCorpses false, LeaveNakedCorpses true - You will always leave a naked corpse. (DeathItemLossLevel is ignored)


As I have proven DeathItemLossLevel is NOT ignored.

I'm suspect what he meant is if the other two were set that way, DeathItemLossLevel is ignored. If it is not behaving that way, it is likely a bug.

In any case, you did not answer either of my questions. Which rule were you suggesting eliminating? And what is the advantage of doing so?

I see the flaw in the logic. If you mean removing the LeaveCorpses rule in favor of just using DeathItemLossLevel for that functionality, I see nothing wrong with that. Though, if I find a snag in my testing I'll end up keeping both. Look for this to be committed today.
