📋 About This Mod
Just Ragdoll is my first mod, it is the result of months of trial and error, editing files and tediously launching the game a few hundred times, only driven by my ingenuity and enthusiasm. It started as an attempt to replicate that magic of the first game, and while still is one of the main objectives, I ultimately want to expand on it and make the game more fun, even hilarious at times.
Will Just Ragdoll bring back that visceral feeling from DL1? Oh I wish, but no. This mod won't be as grounded or hefty, instead it leans towards a more over-the-top and absurd experience.
The main philosophy of this mod is that plain regular zombies should be stupid, literal braindead dummies, barely keeping their balance and not particularly threatening unless they outnumber you. This mod will make the game easier in this way so I highly recommend further modding of stuff like zombie density and ai.
I've also made my own zombie density mod, Dangerous streets and buildings, if you actually want to get swarmed by the infected. Needs fix.
Pair it with my other mod Better dismember RNG if you want to keep them alive longer and be sliced better.
I will NOT take requests as I want this mod to serve as a framework for others to make their own personal presets, tweaks and further developing, this means that you have free permission to modify and break/improve this mod in any way you like as long as it isn't plagiarism. Yes, even you Techland. However, if you're releasing something new based on this work, I kindly ask that you seek my permission first :)
Dying Light - The background of this mod
Did you used to kick spam every biter in front of you?
As a crowd control perhaps?
Maybe you thought the ragdolls were funny.
Or just because you felt like kicking the living sh*t out of a zombie?
Maybe when you went back to the first game after playing the sequel for +100 hours you couldn't help but awe at how amazing the physics and ragdoll interactivity felt.
Maybe you are just like me and became aware of the glaring difference at the very first biter you kicked.
In any case, if you're reading this, you probably feel underwhelmed by the shallow excuse of ragdoll behaviors and physics that Techland brought to the sequel, and so do I.
After experiencing Ramster's RAMphysics mod -who I can't thank enough for creating his awesome mod- soon I became obsessed with the desire of improving the zombie killing sandbox, but I didn
