Func_Msgboard: Left Handed Weapon?

Posted by Tamarisk on 2008/10/27 06:15:43

Hello:

I just started playing Quake III. Yes, I know I'm a little late to the party, but as they say, better late than never. ;-P

My question is this, is there an option to have a left handed weapon like in Quake 2 or Unreal Tournament 99? I am left handed and much prefer having the weapon appear on the left side. I looked all through the setup, but did not see this option. Perhaps someone has made a skin with the weapon in the left hand?

Thank you!

Unfortunately, You Have To Add That Yourself

It is based on an earlier version of the source code than what is currently commonly used, no doubt, a few changes will have to be made.

to find a server for a game mode like generations arena that already supports that feature.

You will have to craft new models by hand. Using +2 instead of -2 through this guide should work:

Spirit, apologies for opening the thread and thank you for those who replied.

I can't believe id never put the option into Quake III for having the weapon in any other hand than the right.

Oops, I thought you were talking about Quake, didn't see the III. Sorry.

Found out about the commands...

cg_gunx
cg_guny
cg_gunz

But these only appear to work if you play a "devmap"
