Playing demos, other views than 1st person possible?

[Psymon]

Hello everyone.

Here is my problem, when i play a demo with "demo" command and i try to change view or just view the scores with TAB key the demo stops and i go back to the main window.

Is this the normal behaviour?

Regards and thanks for this great game.

Unfortunatly it's badly coded, so yes; that is normal behaviour.
What you can do is to bind keys for the commands, for instance:

Code:

/bind F5 cg_thirdperson 1

Code:

/bind F6 cg_thirdperson 0

Also remember that you need to be on a server with cheats (sv_cheats 1 or devmap) in order to make the switch work.

If you are interested in viewing your play from various angles, and even have the ability to move freely during playback, then download the DeFRaG modification as these options are available with in that mod.

Coolness, I had no idea I could view in 3RD person. Thanx for the tip dude:) I love trying to play the game in 3rd person with no cross hairs. I killed myself a few times with the rocket launcher because the point of view the gun is pointing at in 3rd person is way off compared to regular 1st person. Kind of takes some time to get used to.

add that to your demo config, I think that may be what your looking for.

Oh, cool! I've been looking for a way to go into third person! I've played a mod with the option before, but... This is neat.
