ISS gore system is great, although the dismemberment doesn't happen as often as i and other people would want to. Thankfully i have found a way to change that.

Before we start:
You might want to use Notepad++, its free and will help you see if you're messing with the config files the right way or nah

The gore commands i have found

r.DismembermentDamageMultiplier

A multiplier for weapons and explosion damage, setting these to higher values will make limbs more easily dismembered.


r.DismembermentDamageForceMultiplier

The amount of physical "push" that will be applied on the ragdoll, the higher the value, the more "push" will be applyed on the ragdoll from the direction it got hit before dying.



Negative values cause the opposite effect which is honestly very funny

r.DismembermentBloodEffectRangeMax

Changes the ammount of blood stains/overlay on ragdolls after explosions


r.DismembermentBurnEffectRangeMax

Dictates the burnt overlay, scales very quickly between 0 not burnt at all and 1 already completely charred


r.DismembermentImpactDamageScale

"Multiplier" for the ammount of physical damage the ragdoll will recieve, things such as getting thrown against a wall or falling will cause limbs to dismember depending on the value. it seems to be very sensitive given any value change results in the ragdoll dismembering imediately by touching the floor.

r.DismembermentExplosionGibMaximum

Amount of limbs that can be torn of from explosives, of course when they dont instantly gib from explosions.

r.DismembermentImpactImpulseTreshold

Dictates the minimun damage a ragdoll has to recieve to dismember from impacts, also very sensitive causing the same effects from r.DismembermentImpactDamageScale, though simply setting it to a very high value can completely disable impact gore.

I would recommend messing around with these commands ingame first, you can simply change its value and kill somebody to see what the command does
There are some more that you can access via the console ingame wich i dont think are important (mainly cuz i honestly did not bother with testing what they did) they all start with "r.Dismemberment" in case you want to see them for yourself.

After deciding which configurations seem fit for you, its time to put them in your config folder

Fistly, find the directory of your iss config files, it should be at
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Insurgency\Saved\Config\WindowsClient

Then look for the file named "Engine.ini" and open it

Look for a category named "[SystemSettings]", if you dont find it, simply write it down
it should look like this:

Then simply add your commands with the values you want like "command=value"

Ragdolls on Insurgency: Sandstorm are client side, and thats a good thing!!

It allows for customization that wont really change other people's experience. But one thing most players are not aware of is that you can actually customize the amount of ragdolls beyond the game's three option and you can make it as high as your computer can handle!

1. Yet again go to your config folder, this time open the file "GameUserSettings.ini"
   
   
   
2. Look for the line " OverrideOptions="
   
   
   
3. Look for the text " ("r.RagdollMaximum", (Value=X,bModified=True)) ", all you've got to do is change the X value to your desired amount

There we go!

Sadly i dont know what most commands do, but even then it didnt show any diference with values so it hopefully wont be a big missout, if anyone knows what they do, just tell me and ill update this guide.
