Standalone Suggestion (maybe even Aplha)

[ImCptCrunch 17]

Hi, currently whenever any of us find a dead player, we can hear flies. Why not use these flies to tell more than just the location of a dead player? Whenever we hear the sound of the flies we know someone has been killed, but not how long ago, which can be vital in deciding on checking the body, or staying back. So why not take the fly sound and decrease or increase it as the body stays there over time, then with the sound of how many flies are there when the player comes across the body they can decide on whether to investigate or leave the area in case of the killer still being there.

A small idea that can make a big difference. :)

15 minute dead bodies should be good enough to know if a killer is around.

Of course the flies would increase in mass the longer the body was there.

Or if there is blood pissing out of the body or merely leaking, would work also.

It's a good idea. Maybe they could even expand on that, and you could tell how the player actually died by checking the corpse, like if a player was killed by a zombie it could have missing limbs and look deformed, or if a player was killed by another player, it could have bullet wounds and such.

OH! and adding to this, getting rid of the fly sounds when a body is hidden would be great too, because I have spent way too much time looking for a body that is under the ground

I think it would serve better as the opition to investagite the body, it could tell you the players name, how he died, and how old the corpse is.

Maybe in the standalone if its a body that has been left for 30minutes plus, you can have rodents eating the flesh.

You can already do that cant you? I have investigated bodies before to find the persons name and cause of death, as for using that as a way of finding time of death, its a good idea, but only if you can get to the body, if its in an open field, getting to it only to see that its a fresh kill would not end well.
