Changes to corpse rules

[cavedude]

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.

Yeah let me show you my whole logic =)

basicly I am looking from the other side - what conditions needs to be
achived.

So w ehave 3 base Rules:

-ItemLossLevel -level at which you leave items on coprse (0=never)
-XPLossLevel - level at which you loose XP when you die (0=never)
-LeaveCoprse - if you leave corpse when you die.

How these 3 rules work together:

1. LIVE-like:
ItemLoss =10, XPLoss = 6 (or whatever it was), LeaveCorpse= YES.

2. Custom, do not loose items, but loose XP:
ItemLoss =0, XPLoss = 6, LeaveCorpse= YES.

3. Custom, do not loose XP, but leave items:
ItemLoss =10, XPLoss = 0, LeaveCorpse= YES.

4. Custom, loose nothing, but leave corpses as indication of your failure, or for PvP reasons:
ItemLoss =0, XPLoss = 0, LeaveCorpse= YES.

5. Custom, loose nothing, no corpses:
ItemLoss =0, XPLoss = 0, LeaveCorpse= NO.

6. HARD CORE: Loose XP on death wihout ability to resurect (permanent Xp loos):
ItemLoss =0, XPLoss = 6, LeaveCorpse= NO.

7. HARD CORE: Loose items on death wihout ability to get them back:
ItemLoss =10, XPLoss = 0, LeaveCorpse= NO.

8. ULTRA HARD CORE: Permanently Loose everything:
ItemLoss =10, XPLoss = 6, LeaveCorpse= NO.



So I have shown you 8 diffirent combos, with just 3 rules.
If I missed a posible combo - speak up =)

Now a GOOD Rule addition will be a rule which will determine if player looses a level when he looses XP - I know many devs would like to see it rule. Thsi way you can still punish players with death XP loss, but spare them the pain of loosing a level.

Another cool rule would be to set coin loss and item loss on separate variables.

That way you could drop coin on your corpses, but keep your items.

Not a big deal, but figured I would mention it as its something that came up in the discussion for my server of how we want death to work.
