sv.allowfreecam 1

Post by DDS »

I'm about to pull my hair out. So I'm posting here hoping someone will help me out.

I'm making screen shots of PR maps to use to plan scrim strategies.
I've done this procedure before with no problems but I must be missing something. I did this even yesterday without a problem.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Start a local game with a map you want. Load into game

1. Open console "~" and
then type -> sv.numplayersneededtostart 1

2. type -> sv.allowfreecam 1

3. type -> renderer.drawhud 0


Hit space bar to fly around.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Well I do all of this and I can rotate around but not move across the map using the mouse and arrow keys.. I'm totally miffed by this. Anyone have ideas what I'm doing wrong? :neutral:

Thanks,

DDS

Did you suicide and deselect any spawn points before doing this on a local server?

Thanks for the reply Strima.

I entered all the commands (except renderer.drawhud 0) spawn in, suicide then enter command renderer.drawhud 0, then I can't do any movement whatsoever... just stuck in the ground?!?

Wonder what keeps freecam from working?

I might reinstall the game and see if that corrects the problem.

I remember when I did those commands a couple days ago I got an error with sv.numplayersneededtostart 1 I got an error.

anyone else have any ideas?

Uh... back in Vanilla, with free cam after death being turned on on a server, I remember that I had to "jump" before I could move around after death. Or something along these lines. I'm totally unsure about that though, probably not the solution.

Got it too work. This is weird but not related..

I have a KVM switch that I use to connect 2 PC's to one monitor. One running Vista and the other a neutered install of XP for gaming only..

Sometimes, when I move from the XP machine ingame back and forth my keys don't work quite right. So my "jump" key was not working..

So I know I'm not crazy.. yet.. :p

Thanks for the help guys!
