Hi, I just watched the gameplay vids on vodoo. Like RO bodies disapear 2 sec after being killed, I was wondering if this could now be changed?

they are playing with full 6 players in the videos though so maybe since the waves are larger they disappear faster?

Corpse decay is a variable input in most games, I'd be surprised if you couldn't easily change this value in KF.

This definatly isnt a huge deal to me but i would like an option for the bodies to stay till the end of the wave.

Eh why? They don't move. It doesn't have to keep updating location from the server. It should only be a problem on the client.

It's still additional textures that have to get rendered while more stuff is going on. Blood splatters, bullet holes, all that jazz fade out over time (or when the cap is hit) for the same reason. TW is just playing it safe and dialing it all down for the lowest rigs. I'm sure if we express ourselves articulately, often enough, they'll add more variables into the graphics options so we can dial up all that stuff.

I don't think UE2.5's ragdolls stack on top of each other so it'd look kinda ugly to have a whole wave's mess of dead baddies intersecting each other and covering the floor.

I'm sure there will be a way to make them last longer before disappearing though.

I think the gameplay vid might be censored cause theres almost no gore and no decapitations compared to the trailer
