1 month ago It would certainly make creating JBMod machinemas WAY MORE ACCESSIBLE… More JBMod content is always nice :D
Until then, people will either have to mess around with ragdoll physics (difficult, especially since rotating ragdolls is currently broken) or learn how to use the HL2 faceposer program (mysterious, scary, and cursed by ancient dark magic) to animate that kinda stuff with NPCs (Which isn’t an impossible task by any means!).
However, I am not the biggest fan of the “tool-gun” idea. Many of the community made mods allow for similar things to be done, and adding a subpar tool-gun would potentially kill that whole genre of modding! On top of that, I do not think it would fit the vibes of JBMod that well, and it would also add even more time to JBMod’s already delayed development.
People should just stay informed on how to install mods. If they don’t, they are missing the point and don’t really care. Those people will not like JBMod, nor respect anything related to it.
first: maybe add a finger/face posing tool? not a complex tool that changes each muscle, but rather a tool with preset faces/hands, like, hands:pointing, middle finger, telephone, rock, paper and scissors and faces: blinking, happy, sad, angry, surprised, and more (mainly bcs jbmod videos would be 10x insteresting)
second: i think a tool gun would be nice, not like the gmod toolgun, but rather a crossbow that acts like the toolgun, so instead of having to center the screen and choosing the tool, i could select a tool type and utilize it by only shooting the crossbow (just for the sake of making jbmod sandbox easier)
and also, im sorry if this is asking too much, im not into source sdk coding :/
thats all :D
