HAHA! Well, if you can get this feature coded and added in, I will stop working on it right now lol. Saves me a ton of work trying to figure out how to code by reading source examples :P

Just for reference, in case it may be useful, here are the code snippets of anything I thought might help me figure out how to add this in.

entity.cpp

void EntityList::AddCorpse(Corpse* corpse, int32 in_id) {
	if (corpse == 0)
		return;
	
	if (in_id == 0xFFFFFFFF)
		corpse->SetID(GetFreeID());
	else
		corpse->SetID(in_id);
	corpse->CalcCorpseName();
	corpse_list.Insert(corpse);
	if(!net.corpse_timer.Enabled())
		net.corpse_timer.Start();
}

attack.cpp

	if (!HasOwner() && class_ != MERCHANT && class_ != ADVENTUREMERCHANT 
		&& MerchantType == 0 && killer && (killer->IsClient() || (killer->HasOwner() && killer->GetOwner()->IsClient()) ||
		(killer->IsNPC() && killer->CastToNPC()->GetSwarmInfo() && killer->CastToNPC()->GetSwarmInfo()->owner && killer->CastToNPC()->GetSwarmInfo()->owner->IsClient()))) {
		Corpse* corpse = new Corpse(this, &itemlist, GetNPCTypeID(), &NPCTypedata,level>54?RuleI(NPC,MajorNPCCorpseDecayTimeMS):RuleI(NPC,MinorNPCCorpseDecayTimeMS));
		entity_list.LimitRemoveNPC(this);
		entity_list.AddCorpse(corpse, this->GetID());
		this->SetID(0);
		if(killer->GetOwner() != 0 && killer->GetOwner()->IsClient())
			killer = killer->GetOwner();
		if(killer != 0 && killer->IsClient()) {
			corpse->AllowMobLoot(killer, 0);
			if(killer->IsGrouped()) {
				Group* group = entity_list.GetGroupByClient(killer->CastToClient());
				if(group != 0) {
					for(int i=0;i<6;i++) { // Doesnt work right, needs work
						if(group->members[i] != NULL) {
							corpse->AllowMobLoot(group->members[i],i);
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}

#if 0	// solar: commenting this out for now TODO reimplement becomenpc stuff
	if (IsBecomeNPC() == true)
	{
		if (other != NULL && other->IsClient()) {
			if (other->CastToClient()->isgrouped && entity_list.GetGroupByMob(other) != 0)
				entity_list.GetGroupByMob(other->CastToClient())->SplitExp((uint32)(level*level*75*3.5f), this);

			else
				other->CastToClient()->AddEXP((uint32)(level*level*75*3.5f)); // Pyro: Comment this if NPC death crashes zone
			//hate_list.DoFactionHits(GetNPCFactionID());
		}

		Corpse* corpse = new Corpse(this->CastToClient(), 0);
		entity_list.AddCorpse(corpse, this->GetID());
		this->SetID(0);
		if(other->GetOwner() != 0 && other->GetOwner()->IsClient())
			other = other->GetOwner();
		if(other != 0 && other->IsClient()) {
			corpse->AllowMobLoot(other, 0);
			if(other->CastToClient()->isgrouped) {
				Group* group = entity_list.GetGroupByClient(other->CastToClient());
				if(group != 0) {
					for(int i=0; i < MAX_GROUP_MEMBERS; i++) { // Doesnt work right, needs work
						if(group->members[i] != NULL) {
							corpse->AllowMobLoot(group->members[i],i);
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}

And don't worry, I don't deserve or want any credit lol. I am just glad to see the feature get added. Thanks KLS!
