I spent hours looking for a mod that would make the dead bodies stay on the battlefield/map in Dawn of War 2 Retribution. I could never find it. So i created it myself. The mod is simple but excelent, it works in SP and MP, it works with the DLCs althogh not with The Last Stand. Features: 1. Persistant bodies ( Vehicle wrecks can be destroyed for pathfinding). 2 Persistant gore ( will be aded in 1.2 version SOON if possible). I will be adding more and more to the mod but for now these are the key features. Please post your ideas and bugs in the comments Thankyou bigbilly21

Description

I created this mod because a lot of people wanted the dead bodies to stay on the battlefield, especially in multiplayer. This is what they were wainting for. 1.The bodies of unites ( Imperial guardsmen, Space marines etc.) stay on the battlefield. 2.Destroyed vehicles dissappear because it would be chaos for path finding. Thats it. There will be more versions of the mod + gore will also stay on the battlefield, but it will take som time. If you encouter any bugs please let me know Thankyou Bigbilly21

One could argue clearing vehicle debris takes priority for the engineers so the armies don't get bogged down in bottlenecks.

A simple but great mod, I'd love to see this in pretty much all RTS games.

hi, great to see someone is getting on this. Could you perhaps describe how this mod is done ? The files, the values, the tools you use?

Maybe there is also a forum where these things are described ?

I tested your former version and since not all bodies remained I use this. There are a few things I would tike to make diferent: the body parts diappear. And perhaps the destroyed environment parts should remain. And the tanks. If not for SP then for MP. Could you tell me how this is done ? Thanks

well i used copes dow 2 toolbox just simply download it in google.After just run it and you will be able to create a new mod, open files etc.The tutorial is on the internet.
If you want to keep the vehicles you go to: ATTRIB\simulation\attrib\ebps\pvp\choose race\wreckes\choose one\health\delet when dead-uncheak
Zou could do that to all vehicles&troops.
Gore is blood.
I cant keep the body parts because the game engine wasnt designed to hadle that also the destryoed enviroment.

hm, I also tried the Total War Mod for DOW2 (not Retribution) and there body parts stay. It's the same engine.
