Limbs to not disappear

[Langerd]

As i looked in the game limbs are disapearing after 15 seconds. Cant find anywhere a time to remove those from the game.

This part in g_combat.c:G_Dismember()

        G_SetOrigin( limb, newPoint );
        VectorCopy( newPoint, limb->s.pos.trBase );
        limb->think = LimbThink;
        limb->touch = LimbTouch;
        limb->speed = level.time + Q_irand(8000, 16000);
        limb->nextthink = level.time + FRAMETIME;

limb->speed is time when a limb will disappear.

That is for MP only.. I am looking for SP code.

I think it's cvar related. See in cvarlist if there's anything that rings a bell

That is not the case here. There is only bodies removal time. 

 

I found the code lines that when limb is in solid it is removed. BUT if the limb is rotating or moving - it wont be removed from the game. Maybe some of You saw that limb of the enemy that was cut off - if it will fall on the mountain or the edge - it will slowly go down and limb will roatate. I found out that if this happens - the limbs stay in the game forever until they stop moving. 

 

I just want in my map to walk with the bodies laying around and body parts to make everything so much more brutal.

Wouldn't in that scenario be preferable to create a .md3 file with the body parts scattered around to be used as a misc_model entity? If you edit the code, think how much resources it will take to keep rendered all the body parts all the time.

I dont want to make them stay forever but much much longer. I know that i can make MD3 bodies with flesh and body parts all over the place.

Try increasing values of Q_irand(), or replace them with constants in milliseconds in g_combat.c:LimbThink()

                if ( level.time > ent->s.apos.trTime + ent->s.apos.trDuration )
                {
                        if (ent->owner && ent->owner->m_pVehicle)
                        {
                                ent->nextthink = level.time + Q_irand( 10000, 15000 );
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                ent->nextthink = level.time + Q_irand( 5000, 15000 );
                        }

                        ent->e_ThinkFunc = thinkF_G_FreeEntity;
                        //FIXME: these keep drawing for a frame or so after being freed?!  See them lerp to origin of world...              
                }
