ThirdPerson

Features

Press V to toggle third person.

• []Proper third person

  Your full body, backpack and held tools render exactly like other players see you in co-op, with working tool animations.[/]

  []Smooth transitions

  The camera glides out of your head going into third person and dives back in going to first person, no hard cut. Zooming all the way in drops you back into first person, and zooming out from first person brings the camera back out.[/]

  []Orbit mode

  Hold Left Alt to spin the camera around your character without turning them, so you can finally look yourself in the face. Scroll to zoom while orbiting.[/]

  []A crosshair you can trust

  A dot marks the exact spot your gun is pointing at, using the real aiming ray. The stock centre crosshair is hidden in third person because the camera sits off your shoulder and the centre of the screen is not where shots land. Prefer the stock one? Turn the dot off in the config and it comes back.[/]

  []Full recoil

  Weapon kick works in third person with the same strength and recovery as first person, and the aim dot rides the kick.[/]

  []Plays nice with the game's cameras

  Travel cinematics, the periscope and cutscenes take over automatically, and third person comes back on its own when they finish.[/]

    Configuration

    Installation

    • []Download BepInEx_win_x64_5. 4. 23. 5.zip (the x64 Mono build, not IL2CPP) from the BepInEx releases page.[/]

      []In Steam, right click Volcanoids > Manage > Browse local files.[/]

      []Extract the zip there so winhttp.dll ends up next to Volcanoids.exe.[/]

      []Run the game once and quit.[/]

      []Extract the mod zip into the game folder, it drops the DLL into BepInEx\plugins.[/]

    Updating? Just overwrite the old DLL.

    Uninstall

    Delete the ThirdPerson folder from BepInEx\plugins.

    Enjoy finally seeing yourself. Thanks to Finch for the idea.
