SOLUTION TO WEAK ADV DUPES!!!

[Pyro-Fire]

i finally found a solution to having those weak adv dupes!!

i've recorded a demo of me proving it.

The Solution
Rope all constrained props atleast once
after pasting, remove the ropes.

Further Notes -
After a little bit of testing, It does not matter which props are roped, as long as you put a rope on said prop, all constraints attached to it will be normal strength.

so for simplicity, you could just rope everything in your dupe to a single prop, then remove it after pasting.

To play it, if you dont know how:

type "demoui" in the console, then click "load" and search for the .dem file in the zip.

Old news, I've been using this for ages (plus design that includes possibility for weak welds).

My tank treads might actually be adv dupable now!

So if you rope each thing to be copied to something before saving then remove them afterwards, all the welds won't sag? Holyfuck, we didn't anyone say that sooner? I could make advdupe do that before copying and remove them after pasting.

yeh.
