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?
Fury
that would be a Cvar.

i do believe thats classified as cheating too
Kitki
Ah, well, I didn't know that..
Obst
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.
kingpin
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.
Obst
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.
Kitki
Alright, thanks for the info guys smile-fix.gif

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?
Nuub
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.
