I'll double check but fairly certain it doesnt change mob corpses

Here's what I see, my brilliant and creative friend... :)

[ 3715] The Lair of the Rat King [ DARK INDOORS * ] [ Inside ]
A part of the sewer tunnels has been blockaded by a morass of junk and litter.
In the far corner is a huge nest made of trash and old bleached bones.
Glittering objects litter the nest, interspersed with foul bits and pieces of
refuse. There are deep claw marks in the stone floor, and there are splashes of
something rusty on the lower parts of the tunnel walls.
[ Exits: n ]
[65535] The corpse of the big rat is lying here.
[3700] [T862] A pile of glittering objects has been gathered here.
[3713] A piece of fungus grows with an eerie light.
[3702] [T3703] A huge rat lashes its tail as you approach.
[3703] [TRIGS] The Rat King is standing here.

At first look this creature is the largest rat ever seen. Its body is covered
in mottled fur and its beady eyes glitter with malice. On second look the fur
is actually clothing made from bits and pieces of animal skins, but the malice
in the man's eyes is very real.
The Rat King is in excellent condition.

The Rat King is using:
<worn on body> [3714] a fur shirt
<worn on head> [3719] a crown of twisted scrap metal
<worn on legs> [3715] some fur-covered leggings
<worn on feet> [3716] a pair of fur-trimmed boots
<worn on hands> [3717] a pair of claw-tipped fur gloves
<worn about waist> [3718] a beltpouch
<wielded> [431] a silver-chased dagger

You attempt to peek at its inventory:
Nothing.

You chop it to pieces! Ah! The blood!
Your blood freezes as you hear the Rat King's death cry.

Yep it's a bug!

I need to have a closer look at this when I get home, but for a quick fix try this:

in fight.c, make this change
Code:
+ /* Begin item transferal */ + if (IS_NPC(ch) || (!IS_NPC(ch) && GET_LEVEL(ch) > CONFIG_CORPSE_LEVEL)) { /* transfer character's inventory to the corpse */ corpse->contains = ch->carrying; for (o = corpse->contains; o != NULL; o = o->next_content)

I realize now that mob corpses will also be subject to the decay rules - was this what you wanted? Or only player corpse contents should get donated etc?..

The idea is to not include the NPC corpses, so that if someone kills something and they don't loot it it remains for someone else to find or if unfound is left behind when the body decays. PCs should be the only ones subject to the decay rules. Thanks for checking!

Bug fixes uploaded into original post:
1) Mobs no longer affected by the decay behaviors
2) Players below the corpse retrieval level are now crash-saved upon being killed to correctly retain their equipment before extraction

Thanks Viv for highlighting these!

Happy to help if you need a hand updating your existing code
