Of course, you can't have ragdolls without physics. Considering the new models have bones and such, this is mostly a vote for an implementation of a physics engine. Other physics entities would be cool as well!

You're going to keep me busy all day, aren't you?

Looks like Eiii just waited for you to release the feature vote thing and then throw in thousands of ideas.

Haha, when i get a chance to push things I want and get tons of posts in the process? I take it.

* jitspoe makes a note to make feature vote posts not count.

I would like to see this feature too because it will help bring the game even farther from its quake 2 roots. Doesn't the game have a low grade physics engine though?

LET'S SPAM HIM WITH TONS OF IDEAS THAT WILL TAKES YEARS TO EVEN START MAKING! YEAH!

exactly why i'm voting this down for now.

Whats the likelihood of this ever getting done, with regards to how hard it is and timescale etc?

I'd rather not waste votes if its just a pipe dream...

Why have ragdoll 'death' physics if in paintball you don't actually die?

Depends on how careful people are with their HPA tanks...

Just imaging on airtime3 if you're flying through the air and crossing the bases (using that massive post thing in the middle) when you get shot. how cool would it be if we had a kill-cam with it. Not the kind in COD4, but one where you can use a slo-mo replay to see the instant where you got shot. How cool would that be? With the ragdoll physics as well, you could be able to see what happens for, say, the next 5 seconds.

It's paint ball, you get a bruise not a flailing death.

If you're strafe jumping on airtime3 you are

Should this be split up into two requests? Also, does 'decent physics engine' include model collision?

Eiii · « **Reply #17 on:** March 02, 2008, 02:23:02 AM »

'Decent physics engine' means 'Whatever jits can reasonably get in Paintball'.

This is more of a request for a physics engine- ragdoll deaths would follow shortly afterwards, I'd assume.

I dont care what people say, I want to see my dummy fly on airtime 3

jitspoe · « **Reply #19 on:** March 02, 2008, 04:18:11 PM »

I'm not sure what you expect me to implement here - basically the only things that move are players and paintballs, and changing the behavior of either typically causes big upsets.
