I <3 this magnificent addon

doesn't sound like much. was the animation lasting for a lot of frames too? i don't recall running into issue like that, so all i can suggest is to make backups of your saves from data/smh folder inside gmod, sorry.

would you happen to remember what you were doing when the issue happened? being able to reproduce it on my end could help with finding a fix so that hopefully won't happen again

only 6 ragdolls
PenolAkushari  [author] 31 Oct @ 3:10pm 
hm, that's weird. did your save have a lot of entities animated?
PyrosKZ 31 Oct @ 2:24pm 
I was working on an animation that ive been making for about three weeks and all of a sudden an error appeared and somehow one of my saved animations overwrote some of my other saves including the one I was currently working on;

Is there a way to delete saved animations?

does this let you replace animations for a single entity? if it doesn't, you should try to figure out how to add it.

left the server? in the sense of singleplayer one? rather weird that it won't load though onto a ragdoll. would you happen to have the save file?

I just finished a really long animation, i saved it, left the server, came back and tried to both spawn it and load it on a ragdoll and it said that the entity info was gone or corrupted and it might have been because of a version update
(but it didnt update)

now that animation i spent multiple days making is gone. All of it.

i fucking hate this shit bro.
.ico 16 Oct @ 12:25am 
after saving my project of animating and loading my project, The loaded ragdolls are not selected as i right-click on them. I mean props works but ragdolls, no. No green outline, but still animated. I did spawn random ragdoll that werent animated and it works but for loaded ragdolls not. Solution or you just go and fix this bug.

I realy love this mod it is great however there is this bug where sometimes the menu gets stuck on screen and you cant access any menus and cant even exit the game or save (I have to close the game through task manager). It would realy be great if the menu had an exit button just in case this happens because its realy annoying and there is no fix as far as i know.

sfm coolest then this, i dont know how work it!

Nothing happens. I think it's a bug. The menu doesn’t appear, and it's the same with the Ragdoll Mover addon—it’s not showing up or working at all.

Are you tapping the N button or holding it? Playback happens when you hold the button
Male_09 3 Sep @ 5:46pm 
the playback is horrible, i spam N a thousand times and it never works, but at random times i press n and it works.

Best mod ever
The Vortex Man 1 Sep @ 4:30pm 
Never mind, its working now, i think i just had to put the frame thingy at the start of the animation.
The Vortex Man 1 Sep @ 4:26pm 
Hi, when i click my playback button, (c) my animation does not play. Are there any suggestions on how to fix this?

how to fix it
PenolAkushari  [author] 27 Aug @ 2:28pm 
was that model changed in any way? in case of skeleton changes, SMH tends to mess up the whole model since it loads animations based on entities' bone id's rather than names, so in cases like bone orders being changed, or more/less physical bones being added, it can totally mess it up.

you can observe similar scenario happening if you make an animation with TF2 mercs, then install one of the addons that changes their physics (which are mostly some skeleton shuffling and adjusting physical limits), and try to load that animation onto the merc with different physics
swajo 27 Aug @ 2:21pm 
The ragdoll has its limbs in various weird positions. Previously, it was a coherent, if rough, animation.
swajo 27 Aug @ 2:15pm 
For some reason, I loaded a saved animation of an old model I'd since uninstalled and reinstalled, and the animation is completely broken.

When you pause GMod, there’s a Problems tab somewhere on the bottom right. If you click that, you can see the lua error, as well as a button to copy it to your clipboard. Once you get to that point, try pasting the error into your comment
raymundodiesta 27 Aug @ 4:05am 
uh theres a lua error for some reason idk why but im just telling u if its a problem or a glitch
Seby5008 25 Aug @ 12:29am 
thanks

Holding the middle click button (scroll wheel) on the keyframe and dragging along the timeline copies a single frame and pastes it to the position of your mouse cursor on the timeline. To copy multiple frames, you need to hold the shift button and select the first keyframe and last keyframe in the sequence you want to copy. Then you do the same thing: hold the middle click button on any of the keyframes and drag the mouse along the timeline. Note that any keyframes pasted on top of another will override it

Great mod
Seby5008 24 Aug @ 2:08am 
how do i paste copied keyframes? i didnt see it in the tutorial
dim sum un 23 Aug @ 5:38pm 
The command may be mistyped. In the console, type `smh` or `+smh` (w/o quotes), and press your up and down arrow keys to view all the commands. Then you can copy-and-paste them to your bind command
