I made another video to better illustrate the 3rd person mode. I wasn't going to bother uploading this but it apears i uploaded it anyway so i may aswell post it.

Nice , it looks like all that needs to be done is fix the position of the camera, and fix it from not following the guy left and right (woohoo!).

*I still can't believe you keymapped it!!!

Uhm....no unfortunately that's not all that needs to be done. Mouse based orders for example are currently not working ATM. If you go prone the reticule stays about 5 feet above your head, instead of on your height. As soon as you move, the reticule is blocking your sight (which means you don't see what you're shooting at). And the script Nemon is using to keymap the FPV / TPV currently only works in the first mission etc. - there's still much work to be done!

But we're getting closer!

BTW: I also created a video using Nemon's script. What you are about to see by clicking this link, is the parashooting intro from the first mission - but this time in full 3rd person perspective.

At this point I'd like to apologize for some graphic issues, but unfortunately the game is not yet fully supporting 7900 GTX cards!

I have a feeling that might be the only way to run in 3rd person mode. Tweaks to camera position and angle might be possible but i susspect it will only work the same way.

damn that was nuts! when you say "only work the same way" do you mean the level by level implementation you guys were talking about?

I think he meant exactly that!

Personally I don't mind, but for mp it might be difficult. That brings the whole idea of a server and client version and what not...

*I like sp coop right now so , Im going to have everyone of my coop buddies dl/add lines to .xml, when it's out/ready.

Well yes if it has to be on a per mission file basis that's easy todo. It's only about 5 lines of code and overriding the mod files in the bundle is easy with the local folder dealy. Just pop the modded mission script in the local mod folder and it works fine.

What i actually meant was that the camera would tilt, rotate and aim as it does already. Im not sure that the aim mechanics for third person can be modded outside of just the camera distance and angle.

Hey, did the new patch help with the prone situation, your able to look down at the character now, no?

*also does the zoom work with thirdperson? If not, I have an idea... maybe you can trigger the firstperson event when you right click as well, that way it goes into the zoom using first person. (hope that helps.)

Wish we had such a dedicated team working on our dear SvM as well.

I can't wait to try this one out. According to those videos, using this in MP can be rather tricky, but in SP/Coop it would definetly rock. I'll have my eye on this now then...

Like Grin Willie said GRAW for PC isn't made for 3rd person. Besides if it became third person then you won't get to see the textures as well as in first. But I wouldn't mind 3rd Person
