Experimental Universal Dummy Mod - discussion thread 1.2

The problem is not with it detecting when to break, that is actually the easiest part. The real challenge is the inflation process. You have no idea how tricky it actually is until you try it yourself. Between causing the whole car to explode, inverting itself in the wrong way, or not being strong or fast enough to protect the driver from a crash... I don't think it would be possible to find a working middle ground. At least not one that works universally for every car.

 

But it's already a thing, does it not work?
--- Post updated ---

My current full list of changes to do:
Fix the 0.28 bugs (mostly done)
Fix some issues with the Jbeam due to it being very old now
Add standalone Stig (sitting variant only)
Add option to stabilize front passenger on the seat (default)
Add optional fix for mods that have badly positioned seats collision
Add option to disable driver head collision so it doesn't shake the driver camera
Add the 'outer only' head model to the passengers, also similar option for Stig
Add a different camera option that follows head position but not rotation
Add fix for mods with badly made scratches which causes the dummy to get scratched when you crash the car
Add universal 4-point race seatbelts
Add invisible driver/passenger weight option
Make seatbelts strength and stiffness adjustable
Separate beret and mustache into individual slots
Different colored beret variants
More Stig skins
A yellow dummy skin like in the old Super Gnat mod
More accessories: scarf, tophat, monocle, shoes, various wigs, military helmet, cowboy hat, labcoat, goggles, beard, medical accessories, hook hand, glasses, more mustache variants
Different dummy models like a strong buff one or in a suit
For the future: try to add a gyro so the dummy can stand straight on any surface

For now I'm working to fix the resizable ETK 800 mod instead, which is more important to fix because it breaks the base game ETKs. It's a lot of work because the new ETK 800 has over double the amount of content compared to the old one and I have to add it all to the resizable one. Also I need to update like 95% of all files, even though it's not a full remaster there are still lots of changes everywhere that I need to make compatible with my version.

 

No obviously not, it's a full list for all future updates lol

 

Both, it has terrible collision so you were probably halfway missing it when you should have hit it. It's again due to the old as heck Jbeam.

 

No, sorry
