Is it possible to modify camera view time on melee kills?

I got my Pit map running chaos melee last night and noticed its cool to fight up on the pit bridge and lay a kill down on your opponent and watch them fly off to the pit bottom below- only problem is the slo-mo death cam only follows the loser down about 1/3rd of the way, then switches to winner view cam. Is it possible to tweak the time for the loser death cam to last longer, or a way to tell the camera to run till the body stops moving? Or maybe allow the death cam to last as long as body moves- but allow players to hit mouse button to skip and continue to next camera view. That way you could watch them fall all the way down to the bottom of the pit. Classic!
thanks for any input.
ps- honestly I think the slo-mo death cam could be sped up a little, which would help a little with balancing extended camera view time since the body would get further faster.

Big,

we had a few people that wanted to change and/or tweak the deathcam. ATM its really not flexible. But let us think about it as it sounds like something cool enough to look into.

ok- thanks for replying back- I was beginning to think i was being shunned

I figured there probably wasn't much flexibility on this feature. But I figured nothing ventured, nothing gained

Just cause we don't answer you doesn't mean we didn't read it, and aren't thinking about it. Especially during final testing of a release or patch, we get a little 'side tracked' and don't always respond.

Furry's da gum king!

Come to think of it, I've never seen a cow chewing gum. Do they chew it like grass?

You don't want to know. Especially if we are chewing grass at the same time.

ok ok you spam-masters

one final question. I have some other melee match suggestions.
Is there a "general melee suggestions" thread or something or should I continue creating a new thread for each suggestion? (which I doubt you want me to do

If not, could we make a General Melee suggestion sticky thread?

FurrySound · Post by **FurrySound** » Sun Dec 14, 2003 4:18 am

Sure... Start the thread and I'll stickify it
