I\'m trying to do the ragdoll work in my character. So i\'ve seen that there is new commands to configure the ragdoll.

This is the mrfixit ragdoll.cfg:
https://sauerbraten.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sauerbraten/packages/models/mrfixit/ragdoll.cfg

I can see that this configure the links, sizes and limit the movement of each bone, but what\'s the exactly structure of it?

It's not generated by hand. There is a ragdoll editor: http://tunes.org/~eihrul/ragdoll.tar.gz

The link of the "ragdoll editor" is offline. Where can i get it?

I'm creating the ragdoll for my character, but i'm having some trouble. How can i set the radius of the spheres? I see no command for that. Should i modify the source code?

You can't set the radius.

Is there a way to allow ragdolls to respond to gunfire/explosions after the player is dead?

Yeah, I'm trying to develop a mod, and would love to know how to add that as a feature...

Eihrul, Ok I have learned how to use the ragdoll editor.

I have binded my model joints, fixed the angle limits, exported the cfg and executed it in my modelload. The simulation inside the editor (F1) seems fine, but in sauerbraten when my character dies his body gets hurled upwards in a incompressible speed. Why?

Need to make sure every triangle has distance constraints for each edge. Need to make sure every particle maps to some joint, but not all joints need to map to a particle, like if they are children of some joint that is already mapped - like finger joints attached to a hand joint. Also remember that rotational constraints are relative to the positions of the joints at the time the rotational constraints are set. You need to make sure the model is placed back in the bind pose before exporting the cfg - can use the unmapjoints command to get the joints back to bind pose before exporting.

It's working fine now. Thanks.

Cube wiki says "The savecfg command writes a sauerbraten-readable ragdoll.cfg file."

Linux version of ragdoll editor says "unknown command: savecfg"

Any ideas what I should do?

Found it in the source code =o)
The command is "writecfg", not "savecfg".
So the wiki has an error.

Does scaling a model in the ragdoll editor affect the results? My model is quite tiny (used Blender units, which turns out to be about 1/3 scale of Sauerbraten), and I have to increase its size in order to comfortably work with the size of the spheres.

So far I've managed to only create a ragdoll which stretches the body beyond recognition =o)

Apparently scaling doesn't bother it...finally starting to understand a little better how this tool works. Right now I've got a ragdoll that behaves like it's made of rubber and springs...not exactly what I'm shooting for, but better than what I did yesterday.

I've mentioned the command-confusion on the wiki now - has there ever been a switch of name for the command, or is "savecfg" just a total fluke?!
Anyway, mikshaw, since you're currently on the cusp of moving from this-prog-is-new to now-I-get-it you're a prime candidate to ask to take notes of your experience, so we can later digest that into something more informative on the wiki.
Just track down "Heureka!"-moments, as well as the big-question-marks you encounter while digging deeper into the usage. Then later we can take these as useful keywords to decide on what, in what order and to what length do we describe for those newly arrived this-prog-is-new folk :-)

That's a good idea.

I'm dealing with a lot of this-prog-is-new at the moment. For a long time I was using a very sub-par machine which didn't like anything related to 3D. Now I'm using just a regular old sub-par machine, and coming back to Sauerbraten (I think it actually might have been Cube at the time), Blender, and a handful of other things to get caught up on stuff I had been wanting to do during that time.

In the sources there are lines like this:
COMMAND(quit, "");
and it looks like those are the console commands/keybinds used in the program.

There are several that I don't know anything about, but I'm making a list and going to play with them after I get through the source files.
