Just wanted to see if it was possible. Imported the NPC "specialist" and the "minigun" from classic.
Very rough, but does seem doable... Animation and need a LOT of work..lol

WOW, you got more done in 3rd person mode than TGC did. Looks like i only have to wait 2 more years for a usable 3rd person mode.

Thanks Synchromesh, just a test to see if it worked. I use mainly Fragmotion, imported a mesh from "classic" (the specialist)
merged animation from GG "Wizard". Use Fragmotion again to position the FIRESPOT correctly.
Then ran through Mender. That's it. Then figured out which animation frames I needed.

Did the same (basically) for the minigun from classic. Both the VWEAP and HUD are needed.
Crosshair was off, so I had to lower it a bit.

@seppgirty Couldn't have done it without your Fragmotion tutorials. There're the best.
thanks

@synchromesh That/he is from TGC Modern Day Model Pack #1. MP #1 comes with Classic I believe? You should have it if your an
GG Backer and got that special package with "FPSC Classic" included. (not sure,it's been awhile now) If not, TGC has a special right now
on the earlier model packs.

I wasn't around that much in the old fps days so I wasn't sure what packs were what to be honest ..
I think I have that one though so some older backups ..

Is it possible to do the same thing with a stock character now using the same method ...
would that be even easier or harder ?

@synchromesh When you say "stock characters" you mean GG ones, correct? It should be easier, I thought
all one had to do was change the .fpe to reflect "isthirdperson=1" and that was it for a stock character?

@ncmako hi, nice to see you here too

isthirdperson=1 works in all fpe, but you not get the results you expect so easy. Jumping is buggy, shooting too and if you go with your character under water, but your camera is above the water, you will not die. So you need to correct some animations maybe
My dream is to develope games, which makes fun when I create it and fun when other people play it.

Its the shooting that's the issue ...
I was thinking more in the lines of using the skeleton from your third person character you have just made into a stock GameGuru combat soldier ?

@Corno1 So nice to see you too Yes, as you said, very buggy right now.

@synchromesh Unfortunately they are from TGC Modern Day model pack #1. Not sure if
we can share just a mesh? If you can find out that we can, then sure.

Another thing just came up. Have the "crouch " "left & right peek" been disable 3rd person?
Seemed to have stopped working with "christmas build" ???

ok, I think I figured it out, seems to be now RMB hold to "straff" left or right.
The RMB & "peek left or right" appears to be player breath ???
