Fruitcake · Post by **Fruitcake** » 01-01-2004 22:33

aiiiiiiiight ...i was playing in 3rd person view today and after the switch back to first person i found that i couldnt aim high anymore

i think this bug has been pointed out before but any chance of getting it fixed?

i find what it is that it doesnt happen when u change back, it happens when ur view is forced back to first person.. so i think the game is still acting as if u are in behind view when you are actually seeing the normal view, possible? someone wiser than myself plz comment >_<

Happens all the time, u use behindview, which makes u unable to *shoot* anywhere but straight forward (volleying works as normal).

Then you go into celebration phase, and when u respawn with behindview 0, you will still not be able to shoot up or down

Just switch behindview 1 and then behindview 0 again if you want, and it will be fixed (my numpad 5 is bound to behindview 1|onrelease behindview 0 and some FOV changes).

ps: It's been like that for as long as I can remember, happens all the time, no exceptions

so it's easy to re-enact/trigger it

I just never use behind view, I see little usefulness in it.

there needs to be a supported 3rd person vuew built in i think, but so you can see over the players head and keep the crosshair

i find the 3rd person bug happens when your in 3rd person manually and score, or the enemy team does. when it resets you to 1st person you still have 3rd person aim (no y axis i find though i can still look up)

$\o/$

3 cheers for jero ;p

And if you've got just a bit more time to arse around before the next MSUC phase (^^;), how bout u make it a bit more like the mutator TakenFromBehind?

Kind of perfects 3rd person view by placing the camera a bit up I think, and some other stuff like crosshairs etc. (note that you can still switch between 3rd and 1st person with this)

Also, Diab, yup ;p that's just what I said

Note that you can still volley tho! Even tho you can't shoot up or down.

I posted this about a few months ago, seeing that I'm American it was neglected.

I have "behindview 1" binded(sp?) in, when you die or just start a new round you'll see that you're in view 0 but it will still aim down. You have to hit "behindview 0" in console or just bind it for it to go back to normal. I like playing sweep while in behindview

I'll see what I can do

And I'll try sweeping 3rd person $\o/$

Everytime I have this bug tho, I quickly push and release numpad5, where 'Onrelease behindview 0|onrelease fov 100' is on =)

And if I want to keep my 3rd person w/o having to push numpad5 on all the time (where the full command is 'fov 120|behindview 1|onrelease behindview 0'|onrelease fov 100'), I just push it, push console and release it ;x then exit console $\o/$

Ghetto way but it works (if you understood

)
