finally there is the third person view for Minetest!
Toogle through camera modes by pressing F7, available modes are first person view, third person view and third person front view.
On servers that are not updated to lastest master branch on github you may experience some lags in animation when in third person view.
Furthermore mods can control the camera position now by setting the players eye offset (by MirceaKitsune)
See lua-api.txt for more details.
Nice work, BlockMen and MirceaKitsune! And anyone else!

7:42 PM - Bauglio: so fudge the stable build
7:43 PM - Bauglio: get the staple build

something to keep in mind for version 0.4.11

I am CWz on the following servers: VanessaE's servers. If you see CWz on server other then those then chances are it's a Fake. you can contact me on irc.freenode.net or by PM if you are not sure

Jordach says he fixed the player model in his custom game, but I don't think he made the new model upstream yet

Ideally, we would have client-side animation decision, with animation speed changing based on movement speed. We would also have backward walking animation, generated by playing the animation backwards.

Thanks goodness someone cares! (No jokes. I'm dead ******* serious.)

And what do we do for other players models? It wouldn't be very nice if local animations would be just right and remote (e.g. those of other players) would still lag. With this new addition that should be fixed ASAP.

Client-side animation decision would apply on all players, at least for movement animations. It's possible technically, Xonotic got that about a year ago, it also reduces server load.

That was discussed already and to requote sapier:
