Good thing, good thing.

Murder on us modders, Jackson. Good stuff. I'll have in downloaded in two shuffles.

(The whole Rat-Pack slang thing is hard.)

The main intention of this mod is to allow you to exchange apparel with a dead NPC without leaving a naked corpse behind. In the future, when the required scripting tools become available, I plan on making this process automatic but until then this is the best method I'm aware of.

Indeed... the naked corpses lying about do look sorta... yeah just .... yeah.

Oh fun, am I the only one seeing a player house with dead bodies that dont go away? Who needs mannequins after all! Time to play dress-up!

And god that sounded alot more creepy then intended. But it would be a boon for people playing a crazy character. Throw a dinner party with corpses, can dress them for the occasion. Which reminds me of a certain Nosferatu vampire in masquerade bloodlines.

Hey, this doesn't sound creepy to me. I've wanted to do this before (redress somebody I killed and accidentally looted his/her clothes or changed my mind about taking them).

Great idea. Also, great for goofing around in the game.

Hmm..

Can the script change the clothing after a period of time?

Could a suit of "clothes" be made to look like a decaying body?

I'm not asking you to do it, just asking if it's a good idea that wouldn't run into a lot of problems.

All the script does is force actors to re-evaluate their inventory. It works in such a way that the apparel itself is irrelevant - Corpse Equip only triggers the re-evaluation process (it doesn't even have FalloutNV.esm as a master). If you wanted to equip a body suit that looks like a decaying body, you'd want to use a different method.

Using http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/MatchRace to "zombify" dead NPC, then later forcing them to equip a skeleton body suit, would be one way of doing that, but it's not something that will be implemented in Corpse Equip.

The easiest way to determine whether or not to update dead NPCs would probably be by using a reference-walking loop to find all of them whenever the player changes cell, then use http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetTimeDead and update them if they have crossed a certain threshold. There are other ways that don't rely on NVSE, but that would be my preferred method.

Okay, thanks for the detailed response. It gives me something to look at.
