📋 About This Mod

Ragdoll Physics Helper

A dummy dum dum mod that tries to make CP77's ragdolls fall a bit better, and stops enemies from flying 6 feet backwards when you shoot them with a pistol. Pair with Ragdoll Physics Overhaul, or the rig archive from SPLAT.

Aims to be lightweight, do simple things.

Core problem is we modders do not have access to the mass of the ragdoll rigs, or the gravity applied to them.

SPLAT tries to circumvent this with a mile long feature list. This mod tries to get around the problem with smallest set of changes possible.

Neither come close to properly good looking ragdolls. But at least we can try.

  • []Ragdolls fall at a believable rate instead of being all floaty and weird.[/]

    []Halves the impulse from gunfire/ranged hits so bodies don't launch backwards. Melee is left alone.[/]

    []Settings for the down force: enabled, how strong the extra downward pull is, and how long it is applied for. Defaults are what I found to look mostly ok.[/]
