Swarm FirstPersonView

How to Create First Person View in a Alien Swarm Modification.

See Swarm SDK Create a Mod first.

Code:

Changing asw_controls

Open this file:

src\game\shared\swarm\asw_player_shared.cpp

First we change the value "1" to "0" in asw_controls otherwise the angle of the mouse will be wrong. (NOTICE: the panels and stuff will NOT work anymore, you have to fix that in asw_in_mouse reset and apply functions)

ConVar asw_controls("asw_controls", "1", FCVAR_REPLICATED | FCVAR_CHEAT, "Disable to get normal FPS controls (affects all players on the server)");

Set the Camera in the First Person View

Open this file:

src\game\client\swarm\clientmode_asw.cpp

search for:

		::input->CAM_ToThirdPerson();

replace with:

		::input->CAM_ToFirstPerson();//	::input->CAM_ToThirdPerson();

Changing the Crosshair to look like a Shooter one.

Open this file:

src\game\client\swarm\vgui\asw_hud_crosshair.cpp

and change the number in this entry to 0

ConVar asw_crosshair_use_perspective("asw_crosshair_use_perspective", "1", FCVAR_CHEAT, "Show the crosshair that has perspective or the old version?");

Fixing Shootposition

src\game\shared\swarm\asw_marine_shared.cpp

search for

Vector CASW_Marine::Weapon_ShootPosition( )

and replace the whole function with this:

	return EyePosition();

Thats it :-)

(NOTICE:You just have to fix the Shootpositions in some weapons!)
