Postal 3 in First Person

[eLude]

Turns out it was somewhat abit more complicated then just using the "firstperon" and "thirdperson" commands that is provided through console.. camera just flips on its ♥♥♥ when you toggle between the 2.

Spent a good 8-10 hours on this last night and I only managed to get the cam in a position where you could see the inside of Postal Dude's head. Not playable by my standards. After having another look this morning, I managed to come across someone else's camera.cfg file and got abit of guidance. And with abit more tweaking, I think I've managed to get it to a semi playable state.

Now keep in mind its not perfect and I guess it'll just have to do until something else comes up. There are still moments holding different weapons while running and looking down that you see Postal Dude's model, not much I can do about that...

I've also got some multi thread cpu commands running which you can see at the bottom, you might wanna delete these from the list. I've also added 2 bind key commands to 2 buttons on my mouse which allows me to sometimes zoom out when I wanna see Postal Dude's animations.

I cant believe that there was such a lack of information regarding this on the net, makes me feel like the net is dying. Just full of outofdate websites with dead links.

Ok so here it is, since I wouldnt know where the hell to post the file I'll just copy paste the code here. And all you have to do is create a autoexec.cfg file in the cfg folder which resides inside the p3 folder.

So p3 folder> cfg folder> create autoexec.cfg

***NOTE***
The 2 binds at the end for LEFTARROW and RIGHTARROW keys are shortcuts because for some reason p3_cam_distance_max/min wont execute from the autoexec file when I run the game. I need to reapply the "50" values every time the game loads.

***NOTE*** Cover cam is unaffected by these changes, so when you hit space for cover, it'll still react the same way as before.

I hope this helps everyone enjoy the game the way it was meant to be enjoyed. It wont let me post a guide for this in the guide section cause my version of postal 3 is ripped.

Too much commands for FPS mode...
Is there a cfg file or something like that...
And also, why is this game so overpriced?
