Like your posts.

Umm... it's not a matter of "Ragdoll" physics, because tons of mods have the bodies fall if they're killed in the air. This would have to be coded into the game.

Yes rag-doll physics can be done w/ the HL engine. Sven Coop is/was working on proper physics, ie get blasted by a nade, go thru the air etc. But I don't know if they are still working on it due to HL2 comming out soon.

BTW wrong forum, this should be in general.

Wrong, SvenCoop doesn't have ragdoll phyics. Basically what they have is bodies that fly in the air when they've been grenaded, something that was commented out of the original Half-Life source. Then they also added a little that the bodies 'line up' with the floor once they hit it and yeah, that's about it...

I don't think we'll be seeing any Ragdoll Phyics any time soon with any Half-Life mods judging from how the models're animated and junk.
