Make your dead body backpack glow or show on the map option?

[mitc1111]

I'm sure people have discussed this many times but let me just add my voice.

If you die under water or in a dense forrest or anywhere other than out in the open in a well known area ... well, it's almost impossibe to find your stuff.

Of coarse, if it was too easy to retrieve your stuff, dieing wouldn't be much of a big deal. So, maybe an option?

I mean, I hit the wrong button and fell off my bird from a great hight, far from home. I know if I traveled back to that area I would never find that little brown pack. If I had a beacon of some sort I might try the journey of finding it.

I agree this should be a server setting. or maybe it could glow or something whatever works, because when you die you do know from the death map where you are and your stuff will be even if it glitches half way across the map.

Death Helper. Thanks, I just grabbed it. Have to see how it works ... hope it does't require the GPS or something that I dont have yet ...

Thanks

And Devs, if you happen to see this thread and read down to this ... have you all considered an option to make the dead backpack easier to find?

Warning, sometimes dinos eat your backpack, so even death helper mod is not any help. You need to kill the dino to get your stuff back (less your dignity)

...No? Wild dinos will eat your corpse, but they'll leave the backpack behind. Also, wild dinos don't even have inventories. Not sure where you got that idea...

sometimes though your body will glitch through the floor entirely and be gone even beyond the point that you can reach it with "admincheat ghost" and going under the map as far as you can before you get teleported back on top of the map. Havent had this happen recently so maaaayyyyybe it is fixed already but i think there is still a chance it might happen. if that happens and you are not admin on this server (or even if you are when your body is too deep under the map) your stuff will sadly be gone anyway.

when this happens, have the admin fly under and shoot a grappling hook at the body. when the admin gets warped back up the body will usually get stuck directly under or in the floor and will be lootable, at the very least when the admin gets teleported back up the stuff will be much higher, but still underground, and can be gotten to easier by the admin.

They should have a beam of light shoot up from it like they do with Supply drops. Not as big of course, but a nice 20 foot column of light would help.
