The Ragdoll Thread

I'll do it. But I'm walking if Frostbite makes another cockey comment. I've had enough of him and his superiority complex.

well for one thing do your ragdolls like the ones that comes with the models
(aka a low LOD version of that model but with all faces closed)
kinda like this:

thats a physmodel of male07

[Sgt Wilko]

Screw this. Ive got better things to do than model for ungreatfull little sods like you.

[Frostbite]

man your a little rude aren't ya?
heh
i didn't say you had todo it im just telling you thats the reason for that bug =\

[Hircine]

The models will get stuck on walls and in the ground. The houndeye ragdoll (which is the original) is fine however and the scientists is except the coat.

<moderating> this is not the area for "this sucks" comments. We are all doing the best we can with models and ragdoll. Please refrain from posting these sort of derogatory comments as they don't offer any help. If you have suggestions we are more than willing to listen to them. If you feel this comment has been moderated unfairly please contact me via pm - cheers flynia  </moderating>

We are more than willing to accept other ragdoll candidates if you guys are willing to do them.

As always we are doing the best that we can. Creating ragdoll for characters is by no meens a easy task.

If you were willing to look into it and provide us with potential candidates id be more than willing to have a look at them.

Time for a "Super-noob" question team... would it be possible to import ragdoll from a half life 2 based model (citizen, combine, or some other character... surely their must be something like this in the SDK) and then adjust the bones in milkshape 3d to reflect this... or am i simply thinking tooooo much

Cheers flynia

[Frostbite]

you can import hl2 characters to hls heck thats what i've been doing (few models are bad) though they dont go good with the textures so im waiting for your next release =)

[flynia]

No you misunderstand... im not looking at bringing HL2 characters into the game... im looking at trying to bring just the ragdoll code into the game if possible and a generic skeleton... is that even do-able? Ii think im thinking too much as my head hurts

*Begs and pleads for Wilko to do ragdoll... Plleeeeeeezzzzzzeeeee*  :'( :'( :'(

We Can't manage this without you Wilko... your the only one who has the skills and talent with ragdoll.

On the other side... guys can we be a little more constructive in our criticism please... we need examples of whats going wrong... not just "the ragdoll sucks" comments. Any further negativity will be moderated

EDIT:- I have moderated this comment from Hircine's post above as it is totally unecessary and is usually taken very personally on the part of the person who has spent countless minutes/hours/days working on the problem. I've left details above as to why. If you feel this has been removed unfairly please pm me.

The ragdolls do indeed suck but it is a beta afterall.

EDIT2:- May i also state that some of the conversation here is starting to go against the "Respect" section at http://www.hl-improvement.com/forums/index.php?topic=2160.0 . Could we please bring the conversation back in line please and away from rudeness.

Cheers flynia

Guys! On topic now please 

I have removed the last couple of posts... this is not the area for them. Please if you have issues with each other resolve them in private.

I will moderate any further posts that go against the forums "respect guidlines"

Cheers flynia

I've changed the name of this thread to accomodate a more diverse rang of Ragdoll.

Anybody got any news on Ragdoll or new issues with it while we are here?

Lastly... sorry to bump this old topic up the line.
