Is there a command in quake that stops bodies from disapearing after you have killed someone?

No...

Take a minute and consider the gameplay implication of what a command like that would bring.

Key sequence to keep bodies in the map.
~/quitWINC:\Doom2\Zdaemon.exe~connect###.##.##.###:#####
And enjoy your corpses on the ground (feel free to replace the #'s with actual numbers... the more #'s you replace the more enjoyable your experience may be)!

You really wouldn't have a shitload of bodies on the floor at the end of the match.

A lot of the bodies would get gibbed by rocket-fire and the like.

it's probably kill game performance for the program to have to keep track of all that.

Q2 has it and it doesn't seem to suffer from serious FPS drops. There's some upper limit after which the oldest bodies start to vanish, though.

The definition of a "fast" computer has changed since the good ol Q2 days, man. Sure you can play it now and not get a single frame dropped with seventeen corpses surrounding you, but you have to take into account the speed of the computer youre playing it on. Back then, the idea of a 2.0Ghz processor was still science-fiction.
