[0.4.10] Third person view

[BlockMen]

Hello everyone,

finally there is the third person view for Minetest!

Toogle through camera modes by pressing F7, available modes are first person view, third person view and third person front view.
On servers that are not updated to lastest master branch on github you may experience some lags in animation when in third person view.

Furthermore mods can control the camera position now by setting the players eye offset (by MirceaKitsune)
See lua-api.txt for more details.




Have fun.

Yaay, it's stable!

Nice work, BlockMen and MirceaKitsune! And anyone else!

Works with the textures set by player_textures, for those wondering.

This shows how bad the model animations are.

something to keep in mind for version 0.4.11

Jordach says he fixed the player model in his custom game, but I don't think he made the new model upstream yet

[Casimir]

Thank you BlockMen!

@ hoodedice
This?

Firstperson view shows how bad the default textures are.

[BlauerEisRegen]

Good Job!
And what about moving the head in the right direction and not always in the same position?
I saw the model and couldn't this be possible?

[TheNodeboxer]

When is it due? Like 4.10?

It's due now. (with the latest git and windows builds at least)


And yes, it will be in 0.4.10

Ideally, we would have client-side animation decision, with animation speed changing based on movement speed. We would also have backward walking animation, generated by playing the animation backwards.

Thanks goodness someone cares! (No jokes. I'm dead ******* serious.)

And what do we do for other players models? It wouldn't be very nice if local animations would be just right and remote (e.g. those of other players) would still lag. With this new addition that should be fixed ASAP.

I love that new feature, it's very good to see the players in back. (useful for PvP)

Client-side animation decision would apply on all players, at least for movement animations. It's possible technically, Xonotic got that about a year ago, it also reduces server load. ;)

That was discussed already and to requote sapier:

discussion on minetest-dev 20140411 revealed players don't have a velocity at all so no way to get it without major changes to engine.

i have a question can i change the button for the 3rd person view

Yes, add

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

keymap_camera_mode = KEY_F7

to minetest.conf file and replace F7 with the wanted key.
But if that new key is already in use (e.g.F5) it wont work or must also be changed

[Krock]

Why i cant front view everytime i pressed it

F7 -> 3rd person back

eh, how is that proof you have the latest dev? You must have a copy of the devlopment version (or a windows build) that is no more than 1 day old.

Dude, that's a developement release = not fully implented 3rd person view.

[hoodedice]

3rdpv is NOT the updated client *facepalm*

Use this:

But this will be in 0.4.10, right?

[hoodedice]

If it is in minetest git, the MAIN MINETEST GIT, it will be in 0.4.10, unless there is a huge bug with it.

Also, my camera jitters on sfan5's latest build. It kind of moves to the 3rd person cam for a milliseconds and then moves back. Usually happens when I'm climbing down ladders.
