Just got my new plugin finished (and a day later, upgraded it). Basically, it tracks unopened corpses, and optionally points an arrow at them.
It remembers ALL corpses for 5 minutes, so if you leave the area and go back, it doesn't pop up corpses you've already opened previously.. that always bugged with AC's built in 'open nearest unopened corpse' key.

Enjoy.

I like the idea, but maybe you could use d3dobject's scale[x|y|z] properties to make it a little smaller.

Resizeable would be neat. I love the idea personally. This is what we should see more of.

Yeah, I'd ALWAYS make something resizable rather than just arbitrarily smaller. I've just started using the new 3d facilities though, I'll play around with them further.

Done- now at Version 1.0.0.2. Both size and height can be adjusted.

I've also slightly improved the 'open nearest' code (by taking into account the fact that you only need to walk within approximately 3 meters to open a corpse when it's working out the distances), and added in better error handling, so it's more likely to actually report an error rather than just not doing anything, or worse yet, crashing. Hopefully this shouldn't make a difference, but hey, better safe than sorry.

Enjoy.

Grr.. up to version 1.0.0.3. There was an obscure bug causing corpses to appear twice sometimes. Long story, but it should be fixed now.
