Sorry to dig up an old post, but is this still on the agenda? I think it would be pioneering, not only in terms of this game, but in terms of the quake engine, and open-source games overall; I don't think it has been done before in either. So, if you think you can do it, I strongly suggest that you do.

Head over to the Official Feature Vote of 2007 thread and vote for it.

OK, I've done that. Do you think we could find someone to help jits with this? Looking at his list, he has a lot of work to do, and maybe if we could get a physics wiz to help (if jits actually wanted it) it would speed things up, and leave time for other improvements. I'd say walaber is probably a guy to ask for physics (http://walaber.com/) but I'm not sure if he has any knowledge of the Quake engine.

I was just messing about with the ball physics in Paintball2, and set the to move very slowly and to bounce, and I noticed that the physics sytem is actually pretty robust. Taking into account, also, the fact that skeletal animation is included, how difficult would implementing ragdolls really be?
