Anyone get console working? Anyone?

Give me console, and I'll give you multiplayer!

Ha-hah! That's awesome. They did a pretty god job animating that model, given they weren't going to show it (apart from, say, when hanging from the helicopter).

I'll try this

They didn't mean to do a good job. If that's the same model we see in first-person, they made it deliberately disfigured so it would look better from the limited first-person view all first-person games have (even accounting for Mirror's Edge's wider FOV).

And if it isn't the model we see in first-person, they still didn't concentrate on the third-person model because they decided early on they didn't want it seen!

Well, I do know and I do also know what body awareness means in a game. I was just referring to Tonxey, who said, that the animations weren't too bad for a first person game, but there are actually many firstperson games with bodyawareness, where the player animations are perfect (e.g. Riddick). The common approach to that is to use a different, well animated model (the worldmodel) for third person and shadowcasting than for firstperson, to make it look good in both ways. And the good looks would have been no problem at all, since most animations already existed (Jackknife,coprunners etc.) and would therefor result in "correctly animated" shadows. I guess though, that those animations would need further tweaking, so that they fit to faith, which would be more work again. So again, it's just EA's fault!! :-D

When I watch that video, it almost looks like there was no different firstperson model, which could also be why the cameramovement is so restricted. But I didn't have a closer look at the files so far, so I can't tell for sure. And just as a background, I have been working with the unreal engine and specifically it's editor multiple times before, while also attending various lectures about computer graphics at my university, so please don't be trying to teach me about game engineenvironments... ;-)

Yeah. 3rd person is world model, and definitely different from first person arms model (the legs seem to be the same)


in first person:
arms=separate model
legs=same as world model

I know since I replaced CH_Faith_Cinematic.upk with another file, and Faith's texture was completely black, including legs in first person, but arms were fine.

That might also explain why the self-shadow is so lowres on the legs in first person

Hmmm, I cant find that TDInput file maybe DefaultInput if yes can u tell me where exactly to put that command because i tried to put it on a lot of places but that game don't Start .

Thanks.

Do people ever understand?? It's not meant to be played in a third person perspective, it is only there to provide the shadow when you're in 1st person. Gosh, you can only get this by hacking, not something you would do normally, so don't even expect to play properly in 3rd person. No atmosphere? Lol, then leave 3rd person alone.

Actually Faith in 3rd person sucks. I mean, shes looking great but her movements are very weird and kinda stupid! I saw many youtube videos and I have to say that 3rd person few ruined this game.I realy dont like it - its funny but Im glad that we can play ME only  in 1st person.

That's cool, but looks better in First Person not third.
