Ragdoll Physics - More realistic ragdoll death physics and corpse collisions

Prerequisite: Automatic Workshop, Far Harbor, Nuclear World DLC

Removed idle animations when NPCs die, added ragdoll physics and corpse collision when in the air or on land, and changed applied physics to be closer to 9.81 m/s².

This mod changes two basic NPC attributes:

[1] Death animation, by default the game adds animation to NPCs upon death. This in turn will send most NPCs (models) far into the sky. By removing animations and replacing them with ragdoll physics, NPCs no longer "fly away". There are still some NPCs acting weird, but it's much better now. Any NPC has a skeleton NIF, an attached model, which contains weight and physics data. As long as these are not changed, we have to contend with the default, vanilla physics. It's great, but not a complete balance or overhaul.

[2] Corpse collision, corpse collision is turned off by default. Player char cannot push or walk over corpses, player char will jump over corpses as if there were no corpses. This mod now applies collision to corpses just like any other object.

In short, this module covers logging of the following object classes:

• collision layer,
• game settings and
• Idle animation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This mod is technically a patched version or super combo of the mod below in the reference section. However, there are changes and modified values ​​everywhere.

Collision layer

L_CHARCONTROLLER - character controller

• Added: L_BIPED [COLL: 00088769
• Added: L_DEADBIP [COLL: 00088781]

L_DEADBIP - We need this to differentiate between keyframes + dynamic bipeds

• Added: L_CHARCONTROLLER [COLL:0008877F]

Game Settings

fDeathForceDamageMax=2.5000

fDeathForceDamageMin=0.5000

fDeathForceForceMax=2.5000

fDeathForceForceMin=0.5000

fDeathForceRangedDamageMax=2.5000

fDeathForceRangedDamageMin=0.5000

fDeathForceRangedForceMax=2.5000

fDeathForceRangedForceMin=0.5000

fDeathForceSpellImpactMult=0.5000

fExplosijavascript-event-stripped0.5000

fExplosijavascript-event-stripped0.5000

fZKeyMaxForce=500.0000

fZKeyMaxForceWeightHigh=5000.0000

Idle animation

Any death animations have been swapped, for example the animation event "DeathAnim" is now "ragdoll". This will force the game to correctly use ragdoll physics and the above game settings.

Death animation swap:

• die
• Death animation
• Death animation running
• Death animation
• Death animation falls backwards
• Death animation hit position
• Death anime melee

-Death anime rotary machine gun

• Death animation moves forward
• Death animation shotgun discharging
• Death animation synth
• Death backflip
• Death back/forward
• Death left/right
• Death runs forward
• hitReactionStart

Still, as long as someone doesn't change the weight and physical stats of each skeleton model, the NIF ragdolls will probably behave strangely.
