***RPP v1.12***

Thanks for downloading Ragdoll Physics Plus! This mod aims to fix and improve the PhysX ragdoll simulation in A3.



***FEATURES***

-Completely overhauled ragdoll PhysX simulation, including major changes and improvements to joint movement, range of motion and articulation. 
-Increased overall friction multiplier, units will now roll and tumble down steep surfaces, instead of just sliding around like they're on ice.
-The weights of certain body parts have been tweaked extensively. Bullets now have much greater feedback on units, resulting in more satisfying and cinematic kills.
-No more bendy knees! (Come on BI, I really had to fix this after 7 years?)
-No more ugly hit reactions!
-Units can now collide with vehicles and PhysX objects such as chairs, tables, boxes, etc. (SP VERSION ONLY!)
-Units will launch into the air when killed by explosives. (Not very realistic, but included by popular request)



***INSTALLATION***

This package comes with three files, SP, MP and SPX. Please only pick one! Do not use more than one file at the same time. Also includes a VR test mission. 

-For Singleplayer only folks, please install VEN_RFX_PLUS_SP. This pbo has PhysX collisions enabled.

-For server owners/multiplayer, please install VEN_RFX_PLUS_MP. This pbo has disabled PhysX collisions between ragdolls and vehicles, as well as small objects like chairs, tables, etc. 
-Disabled because PhysX collisions between ragdolls and PhysX objects causes massive desync issues in MP.
-MP version is signed and ready to be used on your server! This mod is client side only, so make sure everyone on your server has this mod downloaded.

-SPX is an experimental branch of RPP SP. It adds highly unstable features, such as infinite ragdoll simulation time. Use with caution, and do not use this file in MP!



***CURRENT BUGS/ISSUES***

-Ragdolls are still somewhat prone to getting ARMA'd.
-Units will sometimes fly into the sky/sink into the ground when killed during certain animations. (Most notably the self-heal animation, not much I can do about that, sorry)
-Units may fly a bit too high into the sky when killed by 30mm autocannon.
-Found another bug? Let me know on the BI forums or Steam.



***MOD COMPATIBILITY***

This mod should work fine with most other mods, as long as those mods don't edit PhysXParams. There are a few popular mods that are incompatible, however.

-RHSAFRF. No idea why they included their own PhysX params, but as of now RPP is incompatible. (COMPATIBILITY COMING SOON!)
-Project Injury Reaction. PIR also includes their own PhysX tweaks, however those tweaks are isolated to their own pbo. Deleting PiR_rd.pbo will grant compatibility with my mod. (Thanks PiR devs for letting me know!)
-Real Hero's Ragdoll mod. Alters the same settings as my mod. Try out both and see which one you like better. 
-Ragdoll Effects Overhaul. REO is my old mod and now deprecated, RPP is better in pretty much every way.

Works with ACE, 3CB, CUP and RHSUSAF, to name a few.



***CHANGELOG***
1.12
-Slight changes to physics model. 

1.1
-Physics model has been improved. Ragdolls should now act a bit more dynamic overall, and fall more naturally.
-Hit reactions have been re-worked. For example, one bullet (ex. a sniper shot) shouldn't cause too much knockback, but multiple hits will result in more force being added to the unit. More bullets = more reaction.
-First iteration of my balancing system has been implemented, a la RDR2. Units may occasionally try to keep their balance when shot, depending on the hit location, calibre of bullet, etc. (Experimental feature, but it seems to work well enough)
-Explosion force has been slightly reduced.
-Fixed weird issues with deaths from prone position. It should look a lot better now.
-Fixed some minor clipping issues.

1.0.1 
-first pass at fixing the .bikey
-slightly reduced force applied to units when killed by a headshot

1.0
-Initial release
