Third Person Cam for Aliens

[Whack]

Ditto, being how they are melee, and can already sense the humans, I don't think being able to see around corners is going to make them any more powerful, of course when the camera is on, it should fade thier bodies so you can see whats in front of you if your a high class. This would be alien exclusive since they are the melee attackers. It would make it alot easier to get your bearings in a close quarters fight.

Jun 08 21:32:10         <Wreckage> Can I already use third person cam in tremulous?
Jun 08 21:54:05         <Timbo`> only when cheats are enabled
Jun 08 22:15:25         <Quevenne> did you see my thread at the forums?
Jun 08 22:39:08         <Timbo`> yeah
Jun 08 22:40:20         <Quevenne> I mean, considering they can already sense the humans, and are melee, why not?
Jun 08 22:41:05         <Timbo`> main reason against is that the current 3rd person implementation isn't all that good
Jun 08 22:41:13         <Timbo`> but if it was improved then sure
Jun 08 22:41:26         <Quevenne> couldn't you improved it?
Jun 08 22:41:49         <Timbo`> yeah, but it's not a priority atm
Jun 08 22:41:58         <Quevenne> how har would it be to make the fov alittle more?
Jun 08 22:42:37         <Timbo`> not hard at all, but why?
Jun 08 22:42:49         <Quevenne> Well,
Jun 08 22:42:54         <Quevenne> think about it
Jun 08 22:43:50         <Quevenne> Wall walking would be alot better with it
Jun 08 22:44:01         <Quevenne> Im saying to at least give it a try whenever, to see how it works out
Jun 08 22:44:16         <Quevenne> btw whats the third person cam command?
Jun 08 22:44:32         <Timbo`> cg_thirdperson 1

Jun 08 22:48:33         <Quevenne> woah
Jun 08 22:48:46         <Quevenne> Tell me, have you tried this before?
Jun 08 22:50:57         <Timbo`> tried what before, 3rd person?
Jun 08 22:53:03         <Quevenne> with trem as an alien
Jun 08 22:53:37         <Timbo`> of course i have, who do you think i am?
Jun 08 22:54:17         <Quevenne> heh
Jun 08 22:54:19         <Quevenne> well
Jun 08 22:54:37         <Quevenne> i dono, i don't see any problems with it, what kinda issues does it have?
Jun 08 22:55:03         <Timbo`> it doesn't interact with wall walking well primarily
Jun 08 22:55:10         <Timbo`> and there are some clipping issues here and there
Jun 08 22:58:00         <Quevenne> i have my wall walking speed on slow. and auto pitch on, i don't see any problems there, as a matter of fact, id say its probably even easier to wall walk with it on, but i do notice some clipping probs, the cam does go into the walls oftenre
