Title: thirdperson mode
Post by: jonc on November 08, 2007, 12:52:32 AM

Does anyone know how to set thirdperson mode as default?
Also, how do you add a crosshair to thirdperson mode (like Jedi Academy)?

Thanks

You can only use this mode if you run on a server which has cheats enabled.

Code:

cg_thirdPerson "0"  // Enable/Disable third person view  	 
cg_thirdPersonAngle "0" // Change the angle of perspective
cg_thirdPersonRange "40"  // Change the viewing distance

As for the crosshair, that would be a no I'm afraid.

If you always play on a server with cheats enabled, then add a line saying:

Code:

cg_thirdPerson "1"

in your autoexec.cfg.

thanks, but is there anyway to put it in the source code?

It is already in the source code, you simply change a variable for it.
