Overflow of the table makes objects "stick" there, so if you wanted, you could probably have like a bajillion bodies dying somewhere in the map where nobody can see, using chain spawning, so that any actual dead bodies are (hackishly) added outside the bounds of the memory table. This is normally a bad idea (buffer overflow, or whatever resulting in memory leaks), but it's the only way to get it to really work right how you want it to -- just don't do something like that on a dedicated server, or you'll end up having the game's memory increase constantly, if it doesn't crash. Samuco from the HaloMD community has done a lot of reverse engineering of the network code and has raised this limit tremendously so that bodies probably will never vanish (or rather, you could set that as an option without having problems in the game). He also has a special surprise that I don't want to spoil for him, but I'm going to just say it will blow your socks off when you find out :D :D :D so how can i open those entries? with guerilla? and where are they.. one more thing that i notices is that when i place Marine biped on map (for example marine) and then kill it in game, it will be removed but, if i make DEAD bipeds of marines then, they will stay forever no matter how much i add them they woutn get removed...very strange, both are bipeds..

The whole reason things vanish after a certain period of time. (Images, models e.t.c)Is usually to save on memory. Now your mumbling, but, but santa got me 32GB Ram DDR5 Corsair nitrate kit for christmas. Well in answer to that every game ever conceived has two limits, mass hardware limits and software limits. Mass hardware limits is essentially reviewing the gamers market and trying to develop a game which will operate on most of the machines out there. Software limits included the limits of what is hard coded into the game. I.e how much stuff an game engine can render (make visible)before it crashes. /\ That reason is why there isn't really a viable reason to stop making unused or inanimate objects within a game disappear. Every time something does "vanish" or delete it self it free's up memory space for something new to be created. Reversing that operation would simple mean less new stuff.
