Most questions here may be answered from the Ragdoll Mover 3.0 Tutorial. We strongly recommend watching this video to better understand the tool

Unless you tell us what happened, where it happened, and how it happened, then we can't answer why it happened. We want to improve this tool to better your experience; it helps in the long run if we have more information on the problem or bug that you're facing. For reference, here is how you could report a problem:

• How: what are the steps to reproduce the problem that you are having? Could it be reproduced when you enable/disable certain addons?
  
• Where: what map (and what part of the map) are you using this tool? Some maps have interfered with Ragdoll Movers functionality in the past, but we believe we fixed these errors
  
• What: what do you see when you reproduce the problem? If you see an error, then go to the Problems tab and copy-and-paste any error related to the problem you see

This additional work on your side will help us appropriately fix your problem or bug. Otherwise, we would need to guess on these three points above. We can save lots of time if we understand at first what's going on, where it's happening, and how it's happening!

It's fine if you post it in the comments, but I recommend a discussion post because it provides more freedom in terms of formatting.

The most common reason is due to Steam's content checker. When we update the tool, their content checker kicks in and hides the tool for security reasons. See this writeup for more information on the hidden status. TL;DR Only Winded, the original author, can hide the tool. Otherwise, we do not purposely hide the tool. The tool should still be available to use if you are subscribed to it. If you are not subscribed to it, please be patient.

Despite this, we understand your concern as it seems that it may appear to be be deleted from the workshop. That is not our intent; instead we are actively working around Steam's long content check times. Hence, you may also use the beta. This is the most up-to-date version of Ragdoll Mover, but it may be buggy.

Those multiple versions of Ragdoll Mover are reuploads. These are backups of Ragdoll Mover from a current date, or a language translations of the tool (which may be out-of-date). Subscribing to the other reuploads may introduce conflicts, as the reuploads may not be up-to-date. It may also introduce some logistical issues with troubleshooting. Hence, to remain up-to-date and receive the appropriate technical support, you should only subscribe to this main version. We will always assume you have this version installed if we are troubleshooting your problem.

We also have a beta version. Please keep discussion and troubleshooting of the beta version in the comments section and discussion posts there.

We appreciate the efforts to backing up the tool for Ragdoll Mover.

Find it under Posing (or Pose or Позинг, depending on your language)

You may have entered Advanced Bone Selection, maybe from alt-tabbing out of your game if your walk key is set to Alt. Press the Alt button again to restore the gizmo

We see "move" get used a lot here. We assume "move" means using the arrow gizmos to translate a physical bone of a ragdoll. In the Bone List, they are denoted by a Brick icon. Arm, leg, head, spine, and pelvis bones are usually physical bones.
While you can move a ragdoll's pelvis, you cannot move a ragdoll's arm or leg or head, by default. To accomplish this, you need either one of the following addons:

• Ragdoll Stretch and Ragdoll Weight tools
  
• Ragdoll Breaker or Physics bone separate

Clicking on a ragdoll with either of the above bulleted tools will allow you to move the physical bones of a ragdoll. The Ragdoll Stretch and Ragdoll Weight tools are both required because the Ragdoll Stretch enables moving limbs, but it snaps the limbs back if it gets stretched too far. The Ragdoll Weight tool controls how much the limbs can be stretched. The Ragdoll Breaker and Physics bone separate tools does this in one click; they may not require the Ragdoll Weight tool.

To know whether you can move a physical bone of a ragdoll or not, look in the Bone List and check if the desired physical bone (highlighted in blue) is located under another physical bone. To verify that the desired physical bone is parented, click on any of physical bones above the highlighted, desired bone, and click the [-] icons to the left of the brick icon. This will "collapse" the list of bones.
If the highlighted bone is hidden, then it cannot be moved with the arrow gizmos. Otherwise, it can be moved.

Use the Standing Pose Tool

1. Equip Ragdoll Mover by clicking on the tool in the Posing tab on the spawnmenu.
   
2. Hold C to open the context menu.
   
3. Under the "Misc" category, check "Disable entity filter"

This enables selection of other entities outside of Ragdoll Mover. Expect problems. We may not support the entity that you are trying to pose.

To ensure you do not accidentally select these entities, either uncheck "Disable entity filter", or check "Disable entity selection"

We fixed a related problem to this on June 26, 2025; this problem was notable on big maps with optimizations. If you come across this problem, try the following:

• Uncheck "Disable entity selection"
  
• Select another bone
  
• Select another ragdoll's bone or physics prop
  
• Try to select a ragdoll in another map to narrow down if it is a map issue

If none of these work, refer to the very first F.A.Q. to write out what is going on

Set `ragdollmover_drawsphere 1` in the command console. For faster toggleability, I suggest binding this:
Copy `incrementvar ragdollmover_drawsphere 0 1 1` (without the quotes) and paste it into your console. This allows you to toggle it on your keyboard without using the console. If you want to increase your productivity, I strongly suggest binding many Ragdoll Mover commands into your keyboard and saving those binds in a cfg file in case you don't want to lose those

Use this script[gist.github.com]. For more information, see this issue[github.com].
TL;DR: The mouse jitters are due to an lower precision from networking the client's aiming angle to the server. The script simply increases that precision

We will keep track of your questions and add it to the F.A.Q.
