[req] 3rd Person Perspective

KitkiKitki Join Date: 2004-04-04 Member: 27722Members
I've been wanting to play NS from the third person.. When in spec, it runs 15-30 FPS faster for me..

Does anyone know how I could do this?

    that would be a Cvar.

    i do believe thats classified as cheating too

    The 3rd person cvar was taken out in v2 or such, I don't know exactly when :/

    And yes, it is cheating, because you have a "better" field of view and you can look around corners.

    they should have a look at how the specialists mod has made their 3rd person view, because they've made it so u cant peak around corners and look through walls.

    TS' way is still bugged in some ways.
    +3rd person is against the "gritty" fealing NS wants to bring to the player, so the devs don't really need to bother with this unneded extra work.

    that doesnt really make too much sense that your game woudl run better in third person me thinks...you have to draw more models on screen(yourself) ...am i right?

    Yes, but you dont have the polygons of your v_ model of the gun. (Or whatever it was...) So it's the same if you use it or not, but I think the weapon on v_ has few more polys than the player model.
