Third Person

Any chance to have third person in 0.4.4d1 or 0.4.5 stable? :) Discuss here.

right now no because the client doesn't load the player entity.
Coding;
1X coding
3X debugging
12X tweaking to be just right

That'd be cool to load the player entity up and have the player turn off their gui so they can see their body
If you can think it, you can make it.

We can turn off the gui ;)
Also, there is another thread about 3rd person view where I suggested attaching a player to some entity and control it instead of the attached player.

It's easy to modify the client to render the LocalPlayer Object.

The problem is that the animation is set server side, so that playing in third person on a laggy server will look weird.

So just make animation code working on client with a command from server mods.
