stop the game from making you have a specific viewmodel animation and frame

[deep belfry]

i dont know what this is called but its something to do with spectator, and i hate it, because it disallows you from modding animations for viewmodels, like making them longer or adding more variation, there must be a better way of doing this, maybe using activities instead?

[eternal burrow]

you mean you want the option to disable viewmodel, crosshair, and fov cloning in first person spectator?

[deep belfry]

??? no, i want the ability for mods that change the viewmodel animations to be less limited

[eternal burrow]

you gotta be more clear dude

[deep belfry]

im sowwy

[eternal burrow]

as in I still don't know what it is you want changed

[deep belfry]

ok so like when you lag in tf2, your viewmodel also lags even tho it shouldnt, and thats because like the server keeps track of what viewmodel animation frame it should be, and thats not cool because mods cant change v_model animations to be longer because that would be cut off in servers, or adding new animations for randomness or smth would just make those animations now work in servers

[broken smelt]

i still have absolutely no goddamn clue what you're on about lol

[graceful sorrel]

I've seen the lag that you're talking about but you make it sound like a animation issue when it's a net code issue

[deep belfry]

im not

[graceful sorrel]

That's why 3 people came into this chat confused

Like when you lag for 0.01 second and your viewmodel plays the reload animation on repeat for seemingly no reason?

[deep belfry]

something like that
