Ragdolls Return

Bug Fix Update

This update fixes the issue that caused leg shots to result in instant limp ragdolls

Boiling Point Update

This is an update to the Alive Ragdoll pak for Boiling Point compatibility. The main mod file still works (although it might have an effect on the suspect animation changes mentioned in the patch notes). Another update to the entire mod is already in the works with various improvements and additions, so this update is simply to keep things from breaking.

Alive Ragdoll Hotfix

This is a replacement for the Alive_Ragdoll pak for compatibility with uncensored mods that edit the suspect and civilian blueprints. Overwrite the old Alive_Ragdoll pak with this one, and make sure it loads last.

Update 3. 0

Version 3. 0 introduces active ragdolls that replace all death animations. Thus, the way that each individual animation plays out will vary depending on the character's pose at the start, so the same animation can make the body move and fall in numerous directions, and writhe on the ground in different positions. A few of the animations have actually been extended (even beyond their length in vanilla) to reveal a bit more unused mocap data, and I've even stitched a few together to extend some shorter animations.

Just as importantly, the ragdoll itself has been completely rebuilt in Unreal Editor for the RoN skeleton, and utilizes most of the bones used for animations (such as clavicles, and the various arm and leg twist bones, which are key to realistically simulating a human body). The hands have been fully modeled as well, which eliminates the clunky box shape that can get snagged on terrain or other body parts. Every bone in every finger is now simulated. The feet have been improved as well, and now flex realistically, and use more precise capsule shapes rather than boxes. Finally, pelvis flex has been modeled, which allows for more realistic leg behavior in certain situations.

Two Pak Installation:

The mod now comes in 2 parts. The main part (Ragdolls Return 3. 0) includes most of the assets required for normal mod function, while the 2nd part (Alive Ragdoll) replaces the physics asset used for living characters. This is necessary because, when suspects fake death, they use that ragdoll instead of the normal one. Without this, it would be very obvious when suspects were faking death, as you'd see one of the vanilla ragdolls. The complication though, is that in order to replace the alive ragdoll with my new one, I needed to add the new bones it has to the character blueprints so the game's animation system knows how to handle them. But, introducing character blueprints into the mod is surely going to result in it breaking as soon as the game gets updated, so that's why I've separated it into another pak. That way, you can hopeful
