cg_thirdpersonalpha Alternative

[Cerez]

For MP, is there a cvar in function equivalent to cg_thirdpersonalpha that doesn't require devmap?

[TriForce]

yes, works only using cheats enabled. this is the code-piece from the game.

 

 

{ &cg_thirdPersonAlpha,    "cg_thirdPersonAlpha",    "1.0", CVAR_CHEAT },

 

so, 1.0 is full opacity, u can do it as the 50% using 0.5 as value

 

PS: If u are a coder, and u want enable without cheats, just change CVAR_CHEAT to CVAR_ARCHIVE in cg_main.c (client game folder)

[Cerez]

So there's no way to change the character opacity in the original, retail MP game without having to use cheats, then?

But this custom coding tip is truly handy -- thanks @Tr!Force!

[Cerez]

Gave this a go, and it worked superbly, Tr!Force! Thank you. Not sure if this is OpenJK version dependent, but the actual CVAR settings were in "codemp/cgame/cg_xcvar.h" for me.
