1.7.2 - Revert fix - Bodies and heartbeat

Recommended Posts

* [FIXED] Dead bodies still have the heart beat for low humanity ( https://dev-heaven.net/issues/35050 )

I wasn't aware this happened, but it would be cool if this was left in and retooled. Instead of a body causing a heartbeat based on their humanity, change it so the fresher the body, the louder the heartbeat. If you come across a fresh corpse still spurting blood all over the place, you'd probably be a little freaked out. An old corpse probably wouldn't be all that scary.

(For you super hard bandit types that say "Oh, I wouldn't be freaked out by a corpse at all, cause I'm so bad!" then the heartbeat would be the adrenaline of "Oh shit I just shot this guy!" or "Oh shit, I wasn't the one who shot that guy, who was?")

Maybe increase the range a little, so if you see someone's body at a distance (~100m) you get kind of anxious. As you get closer, the anxiety (heartbeat volume) either goes up (fresh corpse) or goes down (old corpse).

That, and make corpses stay around until hidden or for something like 24hr and make the flies louder the older a corpse is. It makes no sense that flies would immediately spawn from a dead body. They may have thought that in the olden times, but not anymore. You can delete the items and whatever, but leave the corpse! It only adds ambiance, and having them disappear so quickly only to leave the flies breaks immersion.
