I have an issue that's come up with UT3K in the process of preparing my BENDER model for importing.
The 'physics' slider in the details panel has three settings, 'Normal' 'High' and 'Highest'. But as far as I can determine, in actual gameplay, changing these settings does NOTHING.
Here's how my game plays:
When a character dies, ragdoll deaths kick in at full capability.
No other object in the maps that supposedly have physics move at all.
This is the same no matter what setting 'physics' are on. On the 'lowest' setting, where ragdoll deaths are supposed to be DISABLED completely, they still function at full capacity.
And at 'highest' setting, where objects in maps like BR-Slaughterhouse are SUPPOSED to move (i.e., the 'swinging chains'), all objects are totally immobile.
I assumed at first that I just wasn't looking hard enough at the 'movable objects'. I danced around them, walked through them, shot at them until my ammo was depleted at 'highest' physics, where everthing is supposed to behave dynamically. But no dice. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Everything just sits there, immobile and boring, making UT3K seem as dull and non-interactive as Quake3.
And with my bender model, I set the physics to 'lowest' so I could test him. (I haven't done a ragdoll yet). So whenever he dies, the game crashes with the message that it's trying to find a KARMA ragdoll for his 'death' but can't use it. It should be using his stock animated deaths, but it doesn't.
UT3K still tries to make him ragdoll, doggedly, as if I were on 'high' or 'highest'.
I have the most current version/patch, so don't say "oh, just patch it and you'll be fine". It did this when I first installed. I just didn't know that anything was really wrong until now.
What's the deal here? Why won't my physics slider work? Why does it keep trying to make every model ragdoll when they die at lowest setting, and not let anything else move at all?
Any help is appreciated. And please don't say 'reinstall' either - no matter what anyone says, uninstalling and re-installing has never done anything for me for ANY game, except make me spend 20/30 minutes trying to get the game up and running and configured right, and losing my saves to boot.
Thanks in advance,
