[0.4.10] Third person view

Hello everyone,
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.
Have fun.

Works with the textures set by player_textures, for those wondering.

This shows how bad the model animations are.

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

Firstperson view shows how bad the default textures are.

Good Job!
And what about moving the head in the right direction and not always in the same position?
I saw the model and couldn't this be possible?

It's due now. (with the latest git and windows builds at least)
And yes, it will be in 0.4.10

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.

I love that new feature, it's very good to see the players in back. (useful for PvP)

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:

Yes, add
to minetest.conf file and replace F7 with the wanted key.
But if that new key is already in use (e.g.F5) it wont work or must also be changed
