Well got something that "could" help, i have spent a lot of time reading a document about the havok engine (quite old, it was from 2001-2002), although havok and karma physics from unreal are different, there are some similarities. You wrote on the first page that there was different frequ...

Re: Finding the value or values for pawn offscreen removal

I came into something interesting today by playing other U3 engine title, it might shed some light into what the hell i tweaked, deleted or changed on the coalesced.bin before backup.

Re: Finding the value or values for pawn offscreen removal

I've seen code for cleanup, there's an unrendered frame count for destroyed pawns. But since it is not consistent in how long until destroyed (it's called something like shrinktozero, in engine.pcc) I am not sure. Damn! i have been looking into Engine.pcc with E3explorer package editor, and the amo...

Re: Finding the value or values for pawn offscreen removal

Then ill need to find a way to open that file then pack it, i think m3explorer can do it. My game could be our ginea pig for the time being, since its only for singleplayer.

Re: Finding the value or values for pawn offscreen removal

Well this is what i think i did, aint gonna try it again because tweeaking left me exausted. On "biogame.ini / sfxgamecontent / sfxpawn / swarmer" i found this "timetolive=60.f" so i asumed that when a swarmer pawn is killed it lingers for 60 frames (1 second) before is removed. ...
