First Person Mod

Description

This mod finally allows to play in first person mode not only with base classes, but with heroes and reinforcements as well.

The gameplay is not modified in any way or form to grant the usual vanilla experience; just long press C (or the bound key) and bam, enjoy the first person experience!

This mod allows third person camera along with first person, just like the vanilla base classes

Installation instructions

The mod is compatible and tested on the Frosty Mod Manager, so:

- download the mod

- apply it in frosty

- launch the game

If there are any issues, feel free to contact me!

Main features

- working first person / third person switch implemented with the usual long press of the selected key

- this mod IS MP SAFE!

- it should also be compatible with other mods, but for ones that change the current heroes or add new ones they will probably be invisible, while the gameplay should work fine. If you own such a mod, i will gladly be available to help in making them fully compatible. It has been tested with offline Expanded and it works fine.

- User Interface label makes it usable as a cosmetic mod on Kyber, as it does not impact gameplay

Known issues

- since the mod uses the models and animations created for third person view, some amount of clipping will be present despite various workarounds have already been applied. Any feedback on characters or abilities that are to be improved from this point of view are welcome and will help me improve the experience

- third person models means that blaster heroes and reinforcements will feel slightly different from the usual fps, especially pistols; this has no impact on gameplay

- the mod works best with lower FOVs; playing with higher FOVs could lead to graphical issues. While I'm planning to look into a solution, right now I recommend lowering it for best results

- Bossk's predator ability for some reason doesn't highlight anymore enemies, making it harder to use

- animations in the two sequel capital ships are broken and will not display; i do not recommend playing there with this mod

Shout outs

Special thanks are to Titus_Young141, who most of all supported me in the making and in testing the mod.

AI Disclaimer

I have put the AI assisted tag as I believe in transparency: some small measure of generative AI has been used while making this mod, mainly for some analysis and accurate node injection. If you don't want to download anything where AI has been used that's totally fine and I understand, but this mod is built with hard human work and is definitely not some AI slop. Most of the analysis, every action on Frosty and every decision and logic has been made by me.
