11 years ago I had already planned to add Bullet at some point, although I'm not sure if it's possible while keeping mod compatibility. And if it is, I'm not sure if it's in line with OpenJK's goals. But it is something I will do at some point in the next decade, just maybe not in OpenJK.

11 years ago It could replace the existing physics, but constrained such that it behaves exactly like the existing physics.
Then options could be available to enable more advanced physics by disabling the constraints.

11 years ago Or that's what you might believe without having seen the code. It may be harder than you think. Actually with coding it pretty much always is, but I mean even harder. I haven't really examined the code in detail yet, so I can't tell.

11 years ago Very true.
But then, that's no reason to set low goals!

11 years ago In a notepad document, to be discussed with people and get their opinion. Once you're ready to begin work on it, then would be a good time to write up an issue for it. :)

I would like to suggest the addition of a decent, modern physics engine.
Without significantly effecting gameplay we could have dead NPCs become actual ragdolls, more realistic explosions, particle physics on effects, actual dismemberment, model destruction, and so much more!
I would suggest Bullet Physics, personally. I have seen amazing things accomplished with it.
