HELP Can't see my hands/ weapon

[natbo_]

I used some commands to stop rendering the viewmodel so that I could take some screenshots.
The only commands I used were:
r_drawviewmodel 0
and
cl_viewmodelfovsurvivor 0

Now i cant undo it. Ive deleted the .cfg, reinstalled, used -autoconfig on startup...
nothing works, please help :(

r_drawviewmodel 1
and
cl_viewmodelfovsurvivor 1
.

It works the same as drawviewmodel for some reason, and it's also allowed on sv_cheats 0 servers like Versus pubs.

Thank you Cease that one worked, all is fixed :D I used that because it hides your hands if set it to 0, but I thought you had to set it to 1 to change it back, didn't realise it worked like that XD

Oh well, cheers for the help guys, can always trust steam forums :)

From my own experience, it can be usefull if you need to record / screenshot the game on sv_cheats 0 without bothering making a demo and editing it.
It is also used in highly competitive settings to get an advantage, as removing the hand and gun model help you focusing on what you are doing and doesn't hide a quarter of the screen.

It's a bit abused tho, since it's a tweaking that works like a glitch to access a feature reserved only to sv_cheats 1 servers.
It's pretty frowned to do it in Vanilla pub matches, like lerping or scripting, but since Promod allows it, it is used fairly in competitives matches.
To see whar I'm talking about, check out this guy Twitch channel, he uses it to his advantage pretty well.
