Ruined gear on player corpse
After spending quite a bit of time looking for answers I'll submit myself to the ridicule and snarkiness of my forum companions. :-)

Question: If a player corpse has ruined clothing does player despawning use the corpse despawn timer or the ruined gear despawn timer?

The reason I ask is a friend on our server died and it was about 40 minutes before anyone got to the corpse location. The player and gear had already despawned but the bandages he had been holding were sitting on the floor. No other players were on this private vanilla server so this is just a CLE related question. From what I think is current a regular old dead player should last an hour before despawning. Ruined items appear to have their own separate and shorter despawn timer.

i think its more whatever is in players hands falls on ground and is 90 min timer as loot on dead survivors last 30 or 45 min . ps git gub and go play csgo if this game has to much grit for ya, for the ridicule and snarkiness part ;)

I know the items in hand drop but the question is if RUINED clothing on the dead player forces a despawn prioritized over the normal 60 minute dead player despawn (server file dead player cleanup timer).

Looking in server files the RUINED items appear to have a 330 second cleanup timer. So does this have priority and drags the attached corpse into the despawn trashcan? From reading around DayZ has multiple characteristics that influence the final outcome effect.

And do you call that ridicule and snarkiness? My dog can dish out more ridicule and snark before breakfast than that. I expected better from you but at least you tried. heheh

ps: I may have to perform some suicidal experiments with the guys on my server to get to the bottom of this (until the next update changes it all).

you might be right because i have had dead survivors despawn after 30 min after being attacked by zeds maybie had damaged sweater . like your saying maybie every piece of damaged items adds to the amount taken away from the 60 min .

Read the docs. It's all out there. Just not in .txt form. Mostly in html or some other variant
