This should be compatible with custom survivors provided they don't have custom .phy, which most don't.

At least by my testing, the mdl may also have physics related properties (e.g. mass), so if the model is heavier than that of the vanilla survivors, the model may still sink.

For example, the lanky weeb survivor models would float when I edited only 3 bones, but the vanilla survivors needed 7.

Also the speed at which the ragdolls float is too aggressive, but I couldn't really find any other surfaceprop that'd provide smoother floating.

This technically works without any requirement, but you'd rarely see a survivor ragdoll in a vanilla game, so you'd most likely need the survivor death ragdoll scripts or plugins.
