Ok, maybe it was a stupid idea to use my main char as example. The idea is to set up a crime scene with an mule to spark an role play.

If you want to RP a corpse as a way of launching an RP story, then go for it.  Since a 'corpse' seems to indicate 'true death' as I understand it defined by settings, then I would suggest using an alt that will be deleted after the disposal of the corpse.  If you take the pose (lying down) out of the possible tools available to you at this time, you still have other options left.

1.  Character description:
Get creative with the physical description of the corpse.  Include visible clues that are apparent to anyone standing over the body and looking at it.  Include things like scars, torn clothing, unusual skin coloration, etc.  Make your target audience look for these hints and clues.

2.  Actions:
The /my command is your best tool for providing interactive feedback and deeper clues if someone is attentive enough to know what to look closer at.  A corpse can't speak, but can still be a character.

Examples:
Player: /me examines the back of the corpse's head.
Corpse: /my head has a wound that appears to have been caused by a blunt object.

Player: /me examines the body's pockets.
Corpse: /my pockets are empty.

If you want even more impact, have the future corpse be seen while still alive.  Make him a real character and play him for a few weeks before his unfortunate demise.  Give him a 'normal' description and then change the description as appropriate as soon as he becomes a corpse.  If people meet him while he is alive, there is a more personal connection to him.  The more 'different' or 'quirky' the character, the more likely he will be remembered.  The point is to 'make him known'.  Depending on the circumstances surrounding his demise, clues can dropped while he is alive as well ... clues to something that is going to happen to him.  This part isn't necessary and may not even work with what you have in mind.  I'm speaking in general terms only since I don't know the details of your idea.

Under the moon has pulled this sort of thing off beautifully in the past and may be able to offer additional suggestions that I have overlooked.

As far as the posing of the corpse, that is a relatively minor issue and can still be handled with some creativity either in the description or with /my.  Just have the corpse sitting and propped against a wall. 

Good luck.

Congratulations Knowledge Seekers.  Best wishes for the next year.   

Can you try deleting camera.xml (keep a backup copy) in <planeshift>/data/options?

It should be recreated automatically upon starting the client.  That's the only thing I can think of.

The server has indeed been crashing every couple minutes due to a bug which is being worked on right now.  It's probably not just you.  Keep trying.

Happy birthday to the Jer-wiz.   

May you have many more.

I read this post a couple times trying to follow the logic and I must be missing something because I am still very confused.

But, I would like to express my own thoughts on a few points:

Restart the computer and wait for the blue loading bar across the screen
When you see the loading bar, hit the button to shut down your computer.(This will take about 5-7 seconds)
Turn the computer back on and let the computer load. 
There will be a message, (Windows was unable to start properly....blah blah blah)

No!  No!  No!!!  Sometimes Windows gets corrupted or for some reason is not able to load or shut down properly, but it is never a good idea to forcibly power off a normally fine running installation of Windows ... especially during boot-up or shut down.  This can cause problems that were not present before.  If you absolutely need to boot in Safe Mode, simply press F8 the instant you see the 'Starting Windows' message (the white text on black screen which appears before the boot splash screen.  This will give you the same menu and allow you to choose Safe Mode.  But, safe mode is normally only needed if Windows will not boot normally, shut down normally, or has other issues anyway.

Select Safe Mode, from here windows load the user desktop Administrator, select it.(if there is a password on it Jump the BIOS, there is a chip on your mother board, like two squares next to each other, take the chip and move it to the other square, then restart the process)

I do not see the connection between the Administrator password for Windows and the BIOS at all.  Besides the fact that this advice will likely not help, motherboards vary greatly in design.  I can only hope that you are referring to a jumper and not suggesting that someone remove a chip and try to put it in another socket.  Unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing, do not even think about touching your motherboard.  Otherwise, you are risking permanent damage to your hardware.  And unless you are a computer technician, don't even think about opening up a laptop.    Even many PC techs will not do that, preferring instead to send a laptop back to it's manufacturer for service.

I know that Windows XP does like to hide the Administrator account on it's login screen tho (unless you are in Safe Mode).  I have more experience with Windows 2000 than I do XP and am not sure of how to login as Administrator otherwise.  Perhaps someone with more XP experience has a suggestion.
