Ragdoll Mover

Issue: The gizmos do not appear
Well, as the title says, the gizmos do not appear at all, and yes, i click the ragdoll with the ragdoll mover, and still, nothing happens. Weirdly, you STILL CAN move the ragdoll, but with the invisible gizmos, like, the hell? It is tecnically impossible using the tool since you dont know where you are cliking. If someone help me, i will be extremly grateful :))


Also, sorry for bad english btw

does this issue happen with all other addons disabled? generally it seems like this issue was caused due to some conflicts with addons that affect rendering stuff in some ways

yeah, i uninstaled all the addons that cause conflict with the ragdoll mover, but hey, guess what? The gizmos still do not appear. Any tips?

you can also disable addons through gmod's addon menu, so you could try disabling everything and keeping ragdoll mover up, in case if there are some more possible conflicts that are not documented

oh man, i really appreciate your help, but i guess a found what the problem is:

Apparently, too much dark maps will cause the gizmos do not appear, and maps with so many triggers also cause this problem, like Half Life 2 maps. I believe that whatever im goin to use this tool, i always will use in normal maps like gm_construct and stuff. Thx for the help tho :))

ah, i'd assume issue might be in the entity limit thing on client so it doesn't draw stuff, however gizmos work on server so it's still possible to move things.

This happens to me occasionally. I can usually get it resolved by reloading a save. After that, the Ragdoll Mover gives a message saying that it cannot find the axis entity and says it will spawn a new one.

I'm having a similar problem but instead of it not showing up, the gizmo is not where its supposed to be, also moving when I move or just look around, weirdly enough with the chinese version I dont have this problem so I really dont know whats wrong

would you happen to have some of the no more room in hell sweps or something like that?

Ive disabled every addon except for it and it still doesnt look right, at least everything else outside of only the gizmos position (even the gizmo reacts when I select a direction/rotation) is working
PenolAkushari  [developer] Sep 21, 2022 @ 1:19pm 
you're not in gmod's 64 bit branch, just in case?
1- no
2- the closer I get to the bone selected the more the gizmo fixes its visual postion, do you know what could be causing that?

unsure. sounds like some problem eith drawing. you wouldn't happen to have any addons installed locally in addons folder either?

okay, look, I had some outside downloaded content (css, etc) on the addon folder, also rt advanced and seamless portals (in case that can matter), I uninstalled both addons, took all out all outside downloaded content, it didnt work.
But then I factory reseted and now it just works...for some reason?
I'm glad it worked but I'm afraid I'll have to give up maps with hl2 and css requirements for a while
good news: whatever it was, its not related to the addon folder, sorry for taking up some of your time Penol, but thanks for trying to help

yeah i also was thinking about the problem, perhaps there was rather some issue with client returning weird positions for the bones, as that's also one of the changes i did for ragdoll mover - grabbing position and rotation of bones from clients rather than server, process is a bit more of a pain to setup + if you use it in multiplayer when your connection is crappy, it can be an issue.

i was thinking that might be the issue. reason for using client's info was due to some nonphysical bones having more accurate info on clients, as i noticed, as fingers wouldn't change their position when you move their parent bones on server. so yeah, perhaps that's what causes this to happen whereas old version with chinese localization doesn't.

also, since that's fixed, would you be able to check if your downloads in gmod folders are empty now? perhaps it was reading weird stuff from there, causing the mess ups somehow. if it's empty, then probably i could ask other people who'll have same problem to clear that folder first to see if that helps, before asking for factory resetting
