Changes and additions

• Corpses of branded animals can only be looted by those people who had ride/lead permissions on that animal prior to it’s death and it’s only ‘protected’ in that manner until server restart.

  • People without permission cannot take, open, butcher, bury or move the corpse.
  • This protection is removed with a server restart – at that time the corpse is available to anyone.
