MB2 Camera angle help

[·sev·]

Problem: I'm trying to make a movie, however, Red slushie doesn't work for MB2 and I haven't been able to enter cheat-mode and manually type in commands to modify the camera angle displayed in my demos. How do I, say, change the camera angle in the demo to spectator so I can record from any angle I wish to record from? I searched forums and found something about a file on filefront that I COULDN'T download for some reason. I searched the interwebs to no avail.

Of course, I'm not very able bodied when it comes to scripting, so I was wondering if anyone could help solve my problem?

Sorry If it isn't in the correct section of the forums.

You can't record from spectator. What you're looking for is "pugmod", which worked in B18 and hasn't worked since. Happy trails :)

How do you suggest I go about changing camera angles/making my movie more interesting then?

[siege]

cg_thirdpersonangle
cg_thirdpersonrange
cg_thirdpersonvertoffset

and some others. In console: cg_ then tab to bring up the full list, but I can pretty much assure you that these don't look very good. One thing I recommend is making sure that you use cg_fov 80 for the vid. Good luck.

How do I get those to work? I haven't had any success with disabling cheats or whatever is needed :(

Ah, right. I haven't loaded up jk in a while, but I'm fairly sure that it's just sv_cheats 1; map mb2_mapnamehere

Thanks mate, I'll try it out:)

[Dee]

just use devmap mb2_dotf ALWAYS.

Thanks mate, 吾'll try it out:)

Times 2 then :p

What everyone is forgetting to tell Sev is that cg_thirdperson camera angles are USELESS in Rc3 because Vortex's anti-cheat system stops you from using them except for a very limited range, even with cheats on.

just use devmap mb2_dotf ALWAYS.

Ah right. Haha that's right. Weird that you'd put a limit on a command which is already cheat protected LoL!!!!

[·sev·]

I found that out myself mate :P. Thanks for mentioning it:o

Seems like our comrades is best as always....
I use their good old script :
Put view.cfg in base JA folder with this inside

Then you just "devmapall" and add this to your link :
+exec view.cfg

It works perfectly .
