Rag Doll Software

Is there any tutorial? I want to make a program that makes ragdolls but I have no idea on how to create a joint. Are the joints only spheres or can you use more primitives?

There is a tutorial linked on the members area (where you download the game). Ragdolls are build of balls and links (or spheres and tubes if you want) but the tutorial explains it much better ^^

Do I understand correctly, that you want to make a ragdoll editor for Rubber Ninjas? That would be most awesome. Though it´s a strange decision to make if you haven´t even looked into modding in Rubber Ninjas =)

That'd be awesome. I hate to edit such files manually.

Yep, and I have too much time on my hands, so I'm gonna start doing some simple 3D renders and then I'll try to import the files. Not sure if it will be too hard.
I should ask Matteo about the links, since there seems to be something like width1 and width2, I have to see if I can make that easily or if he can help me with that. Also, what the f*** is slices?

i think it adds some skill to modding, but an editor will be alot easier :D

[color=green]I actually was making an advanced N-Ball Editor, it could load the files with all the links, tensions, balls, and virtual links, but I got stuck on the editing part, let alone the saving part. Plus it couldn't handle a big file like The Phantom's Titanic 2.0.[/color]

The 2 player page shows a window with a ragdoll.(actually,2) Its reading the
char/ragdoll files directly and constructs/displays them without entering into an actual game. Seems like thats half-way to being an editor already...

A program to simply display a ragdoll as you are programming it, and instantly show any small changes you make to it without having to enter into a game-that would be a good start, and its pretty much there already.

Great idea! hope you keep working on it. Editing the text file take a long time.

Doesn't seem like I'll be able to even start off, since Matteo doesn't seem too interested on helping me with the format :<
