A.R.E.P (AnymYo's Reworked Euphoria Physics) 1.1 Final Version

been waiting since december for this 🔥 any chance you can upload an example vid as well?

EDIT: This is my favorite euphoria mod no doubt. The arrows especially are so good, I shot somebody in the back with one and they stumbled for around 10 feet before snapping back into their actual injured state and running away. 

I just got off work and can't wait to download and experience it (there's jet lag so I'm just getting off now)

I implemented bleedout stumbling with the chance to recover back to standing animation instead of falling always. Im happy that someone noticed 😄

At the moment, Im trying to create 2 more optional versions which are limiting the stumbling on rifle shots and overall (just in case someone preferes this).

After that, this project is finished and I will create a little showcase video.

Edit:
I think the versions are on hold for now but I uploaded a preview video.

YASSSSS FINALLY!!! 10/10

Yea, this mod was a big enough difference that even my friend who doesn’t care about ragdoll mods could tell there was a MAJOR difference with the stumbling and shot grabbing. Makes the game way more fun for sure.

Thanks for the response, can’t wait for the optional versions and the showcase. Every npc will now be Micah in American Venom and I couldn’t be happier.

i have a question, since it doesn't have any "weapons.ymt" files in this new update, if i combine this mod with the last CERR 2.0 "weapons.ymt" wouldn't that may conflict with this new update? Because the 2.0 c.e.r.r "NMweaponShotTuningSet" that is on the weapons.ymt file does not correspond with this new physicstask.ymt

You can try it but I havent tested anything about that. You will have different bullet forces and mixed ragdoll sets but I really dont know if that works well or not. Also, I cant remember if there are completely new created ragdoll sets in C.E.R.R 2.0 which are called by weapons.ymt. If yes, the game wont find them in A.R.E.P physicstasks.ymt and will execute the A.R.E.P "base" ragdoll behavior which is a kind of default reaction in A.R.E.P.

Thank you for this. You're my favorite ragdoll guy, and I've tried them all.

so that means that i can fullfill the "weapons.ymt" again with tuningsets so i can test all of this physicstask right? Like this:

<NmShotTuningSet>slug</NmShotTuningSet>     

<NmShotTuningSet>Rifle</NmShotTuningSet>         

<NmShotTuningSet>Rifle3</NmShotTuningSet>

@AaronPvP
Yes!
In AREPS physicstasks file you'll find a few new tuning sets but those were WIP and are unfinished -> Means that these tunigsets can lead to unwanted or unfitting NPC shotreactions.

But to create a new output from existing tuning sets, you can mix them in weapons.ymt. For example, you can also use <NmShotTuningSet>BOW</NmShotTuningSet> for a pistol. The game would execute the BOW tuning set with all the impulses and damage properties of a pistol. That would lead to a slightly different BOW tuning set output as well when you apply it to a pistol and use this pistol ingame.


If you like to play around with weapons.ymt file, you might find the following parameters interesting because all of them are doing something with the physics:

IMPORTANT: I use a really low global impulse for AREP and impulse parameters which can lead to a kind of impulse limit (these could limit the impulse mag from weapons.ymt as well).

<CWeaponInfoBlob> -> <Infos>
The first info section is for general ammo types. These ammo changes counting globally -> Means: What you change here is affecting this ammo type, no matter which weapon is used.


The second info section contains weapons and damage modes (ammo types with specific parameters especially for THAT weapon):
Example: <Name>WEAPON_REVOLVER_CATTLEMAN</Name>

Ammo types (high velocity in this example)

<WeaponForce> (you can add more Bone-Items in <OverrideForces> to add more areas on the NPCs body where the bullet force is different):


FragImpulse:

<WeaponNM> Changes here counting for the weapon base. If you add a tuningset here and to a damageMode, you mix them together.
I assume that "KnockdownCount" will execute the "knockdown" tuning set after a specifit amount of hits or time (seconds). In that case that wouldnt do any difference becasue this tuningset is disabled in AREP physicstasks.ymt.


I recomment using the rampage trainer in combination with "Main and Legal Menu Skip 1.0.0" to reload weapons.ymt without closing the game.
If you made your change in weapons.ymt and want to test it, open the trainer ingame, go to SETTINGS -> CORE -> LANDING PAGE. Youll get much shorter loading screen and the game will also load your new weapons.ymt file to the running game. Do these steps after each change you made in weapons.ymt.

Magnificent and, in my opinion, the best euphoria mod to date. I played and version 1.1 already pleasantly impressed me! Thank you so much for your work and I'm damn glad you're back in this business! The only question that worries me is how to return expressive headshots when, when hit in the head, the NPC grabs his head and slowly falls to the ground? In this mod, all the hits are very expressive, but the headshots, in my opinion, are too realistic and simple... Is it possible to make a separate version with theatrical headshots? or how could I do this?

Thanks!
The headshot preset in AREP 1.1 also contains "dramatic" results but these are depending on chances. I dont want the headshots to be too repetetive, thats why I set the chance to 10% dramatic, 90% drop.

But its easy to tweak it.
You need to open "physicstasks.ymt" with Notepad++. I recomment installing the "xml plugin" so you can collapse all sections in the file by pressing ALT+SHIFT+0.

Search for: 0x51109753

This will lead you to the headshot preset which will look like this:

 

The easiest way to make NPCs grabbing headshot wounds and stumble around is changing <Enabled value="true"> to <Enabled value="false">.


If you want to try to change the parameters which are affecting the random behavior output, you need take a look to the <Messages> section.
You can change the values from these parameters to make significant changes on headshots in AREP:


 

<Name>maxBalanceTime</Name> is controlling how long a NPC is allowed to balance. Minimum 0.0 seconds, Maximum 3.0 seconds.

<Name>giveUpHeight</Name> is the allowed distance from the lowest foot and the "center of mass" of the NPCs body. Lower values preventing NPCs from falling.  Minimum 0.30, Maximum 1.10. (Change it to Min: 0.10, Max: 0.10 or delete it completely)

<Name>useCStrModulation</Name> is activating a custom upper and lower body strength of the NPC. The chance that this is "true" is at 0.8 (80%). If its "true", the NPC will collapse much faster (due to the 4 parameters below). Set smaller values to decrease the chance of collapse (try 0.1 - 0.0).

<Name>enabled</Name> is controlling if woundreaching is allowed or not. Its 0.25 (25% chance of reaching). Wound reaching happens when the NPC standing still. If you want to increase the chance, try higher values like 0.7 - 1.0.

I recomment using the physicstasks hotreloader from @TuffyTown. This allowes you simply press F10 while the game is running and it reloads "physicstasks.ymt" directly to the game. (You dont need to restart it to see your changes in the file)

You helped me a lot! Thank you very much! Now headshots work the way I would like them to :)
There is one more question. What parameters are responsible for ensuring that an NPC, after his health level has reached “0”,
continues to stumble and maintain his balance even though you continue to shoot at him? I would like NPCs to stay on the ground 
as much as possible even when I shoot at them and their health has already reached "0". Sometimes NPCs, after you fire a fatal 
shot, quickly fall to the ground, and sometimes they stumble, even receiving numerous wounds when firing quickly from a revolver. 
Is this also a chance parameter?

The tuning set which is triggered when the health is 0 is "FatallyInjured". Changes in configureBalance can affect the stumbling or you can set the FatallyInjured set to <Enabled value="false"/>.

The falling is caused by the bullet force + hit angle and a single CNmParameterRandomBool called "failMustCollide". Its tweaked to 0.5 (50% chance to be "true"). You can change it to 1.0. That forces a NPC to balance until the upper body hits the floor.

Also adding the following to configureBalance in FatallyInjured:

                                    <Item type="CNmParameterFloat"><!--fallMult-->
                                        <Name>fallMult</Name>
                                        <Value value="0.2"/>
                                    </Item>

                                    <Item type="CNmParameterInt"><!--maxSteps-->
                                        <Name>maxSteps</Name>
                                        <Value value="10"/>
                                    </Item>

That should increase the balancetime even more.

I changed something but nothing changed. I think I didn't search for the lines correctly or perhaps changed the wrong ones.

Unfortunately, I got lost in the lines and can't find the ones I need. There are a lot of these lines and I'm completely confused.
 I would not like to distract you, but if you could take screenshots of the necessary segments where something needs to be changed,
 I would be very grateful to you. In any case, I thank you for this wonderful mod and the opportunity to try it out and edit it.
