Hi, in my opinion, your addon is one of the most useful addons that were ever released. Since I made a subscription, I can't imagine my life without it anymore :D It's seriously great time saver and simply genious addon.

I have a one suggestion though. In my opinion the only thing that stands between R.A.T. and perfection (in my point of view) is ragdoll pose randomizer on right click. Many times happened, that I spawned a group of people and only happaned to just a few of them to have some silly poses. Yes, I can fix it via physgun, but it take time and that depends on how many ragdolls have those silly poses and I think it's not a good idead to re-spawn whole array because of 10 ragdolls out of 100. I know you have written that ragdoll positioning is experimental, so I dunno if it will be the same or if you have plan to change it, but this would be the great addition and it would make R.A.T. to achieve the level of perfection (in my point of view, can't talk about the others).

Thank you for reading this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ novel, took a lot of time to write it. :D

Thank you very much for the kind words, very nice to hear it's useful to people ^^! (and that all the months I spent on it wasn't a waste :P)

I see what you mean being able to re-pose, I've had that thought too since a lot of the poses aren't that useful. (Used to be even worse before I added some filters that avoided most t-poses, was maybe 50% t-pose before.) And yeah as you've noticed it is experimental and the tool wasn't even supposed to release with this feature, so it's usefulness is a bit limited as I had to draw a line somewhere to release. I just got the idea one day, thought it'd be pretty darn cool and unique and wanted to see if I could do it, I managed to do it and it became part of the package. I do think this would be a good next step for the random pose feature tho, thanks for letting me know you like it and what you want to see it do next!

In general I do kind of want a break from working on this pretty soon, but I'll probably look into a few of the main things I still want to add and try to estimate how long I think they'll take. Then with that list maybe try to add some of the ones that won't take too long in the near future, but we'll see how that turns out I guess. I'll at least look into this one pretty soon and test it a bit, I have a hope it wouldn't be too tricky :)

Can you add presets for posing? Example: walking.

P.S it's nice addon.

There should be a function hook you can add to allow the tool to be used in the gm_construct color room, etc. The hook you'd want to add should look about like this :


It should be harmless, most of those brush entities limit tools just so they are not accidently destroyed, they also use a whitelist so these issues are inevitable. Anyways, great work on this addon! The tool menu in particular is put together very well, I know it can be a pain putting them together! I'll likely take a look at your approach when I start remaking Prop Virus, haha.

It's always good to see something made prioritizing quality over quantity.

Oh that worked great, not sure why but didn't quite expect being able to just override the "protection" like that.

And yeah the UI has been quite the pain, so much of it is custom and it's half of the script all together.. and I even made a lot of reusable functions to construct it. Took a lot of trial and error, but glad someone notice the effort! If there's anything to be learned from the code feel free to do whatever with it.

Thank you very much for the code tip and the nice words, was nice to see! ^^

Yeah I've been thinking about ways to make the random pose thing more useful like being able to choose an animation, or a range of animations to get poses from.

The biggest problem is how to exactly present it to the user, how it should work, how to make it usable and what would make it most useful. I'm not really sure about most of that, and it was honestly just supposed to be a cool extra I wanted to see if I could code. Though I do realize it has good potential and will continue to give it some thought, and you're free to elaborate on that too if you have more thoughts to share!

nice dude

yep, that's hard

needs more rats in the actual mod itself

needs "x y z" reset on each transforms
atleast would be easy to reset not just to click each and write a number

You can actually click the text title of each x y z grouping to reset them! (A bit hidden but didn't want even more ui since theres already so much)

:D

i agree

one suggestion though you should try and make it so you can add r.a.t to dupes! it would be like you put a guy in an office chair and he is typing on a computer also this is by far my favorite add-on

is cool
