📋 About This Mod
Mod still works with the latest version of the game. 1. 6 Restored Lands.
CHANGELOGS:
Optional Update v. 4. 0 / Dying Light 1 Ragdolls import.
-
[]Physics parameters from Dying Light 1 has been ported over. Expect ragdoll behaviour that is very close to Dying Light 1.[/]
[]Imported Damage behaviour from Dying light 1. (this might be switched back to vanilla in the future, as this mimics the original)[/]
[]NOTE: Beta version. Please report back what you think.[/]
Update v. 3. 2: (Current main version)
Features:
-
[]Physics collisions now affect destructible props (e.g., boarded windows, trash cans, food truck doors, kitchen cabinets, and more). Note: not all objects will respond.[/]
[]Zombies enter ragdoll more readily (more “clumsy zombie” moments).[/]
[]Ragdoll stability improved with tuning to joints and damping.[/]
-
[]Severed head ground-clipping (vanilla bug) — fixed. Credit: av0hh.[/]
[]Removed physics-unrelated files that had no in-game effect.[/]
[]Fixed (believed) witch outfit stretch issue. (Couldn’t reproduce after the fix.)[/]
[]Sheriff hair corrected. (Untested in a full playthrough.)[/]
v3. 0 (Outdated)
Features
-
[]Wind affects gibs/limbs — strong gusts can roll parts along surfaces.[/]
[]Increased ragdoll–ragdoll friction for more believable pile-ups.[/]
[]Extended “active lifetime” support — bodies stay interactive longer and can be pushed/moved by other zombies.
Best when the ragdoll remains in direct contact with other bodies/objects; engine quirks apply — still a WIP.[/]
[]Longer stun duration for “downed, stunned” zombies.[/]
[]Collision tuning for more realistic impacts.[/]
[]Stability variants to reduce bugs introduced in v2.[/]
[]Larger physics pool — allows more simultaneous active ragdolls/objects.[/]
-
[]Ragdolls no longer fall through the ground in common cases.[/]
[]Removed cloth & hair rework due to cutscene glitches. (Will revisit later.)[/]
v2 (Outdated)
