I have successfully converted NPC's from regular FPSC to reloaded.
They worked very well in Reloaded before the Ragdoll Death Animations
were incorporated into the new ReLoaded versions.

Now on Death my Characters arms and legs stretch out like spaghetti.

Have I missed something to rectify this problem, as The Game Creators
sell this product, I would expect a solution.

Cheers

@ozziedave : Could you send me one such model and files to lee@thegamecreators.com and I will check it out. There is a flag to switch off ragdoll in the FPE for characters that rely on custom animations so there may be a quick fix for this.

Simply use RAGDOLL=0 in the FPE and it will not use ragdoll when the custom character entity dies.

I used RAGDOLL=0 and nothing changed - a character is distorted.
Maybe I entered it in the wrong place in the FPE file?
How it should be done?

Another flag you can try is 'skipfvfconvert = 1' as the engine loader uses a process of converting the mesh vertex data into a standard FVF format, which can mess up some older legacy models, so using this flag might solve some issues for you.

After a very long analysis, I think that I know how it should be constructed a character to properly work with the FPSCR ragdoll system
If you have classic characters converted by Animer, use Mender 2.1 BETA1 to make them compatible with FPSCR ragdoll system.
Please report issues - I haven't tested all the classic characters.

Mender 2.1 BETA1 is attached.

Sorry Rafhalzer that beta doesn't work. Well not for me using the 'female explorer' character anyway.

It sort of leaves the head behind and the body distorts with the original and with the beta, the head distorts and leaves parts of the body behind with the stretching effect.

Thanks for trying to resolve - it would be great to have ragdoll and also be able to switch it off for some characters.

Lee's idea ('skipfvfconvert = 1' ) also didn't work for me.

@Rafhalzer - success with the 'aiko' character!

Not sure exactly what process I was supposed to follow, but the way I could get this to work was to use the beta Mender on the already converted character (that was already processed and working great by
