Is there any way to see your legs in first person Quake 1 ports?

[Pookaball]

Hello everyone! Recently I've decided to pick up Quake 1 and it's many ports again, and I noticed that in Darkplaces you can see your character's shadow when you're in first person and against a light source. Now, this got me thinking if I can somehow get my hands on a mod or a console command for/in any of the source ports to be able to see the whole body and not just the gun as well?? If you're thinking this is dumb and impractical and you won't be able to see your gun, then I will tell you that you can know what gun you are holding if you are pressing the weapon select buttons and all. If you don't know what I'm trying to talk about, think about Mirror's Edge, Crysis, Left 4 Dead (the first L4D had your legs visible, the second one didn't. Now neither of them probably has them), Team Fortress 2, or the recent GTAV (however, in gtav the weapons aren't held as low as they should be)!

I think this looks realistic and not like the ugly way most games show the weapon in your face (But Doom and Quake kind of show the weapon at hip-level, which is near to good).

Hi Pookaball
You could always try the SMC mod for Darkplaces written by Seven. Although it's not quite as photorealistic as the picture you posted with the guy on the roof Seven did a good job implementing it in to Quake 1

Hope this helps

There seems to be no mention and indication of visible playermodel there, and videos lack it as well.
Perhabs you misunderstood my question, or I posed it right, but to try to clear things up, I'll say that I'm not after graphics, but just being able to be more than a flying gun.

Hi Pookaball,
Perhaps I misunderstood you. To be clear, one of the features of the SMC mod allows you to make player legs visible when you look down. This is an example of the view seen when looking straight down..


...and the following is down is an example where the Quad effect is activated....

Weird, for I couldn't make myself notice that feature. It's not exactly the entire worldmodel, but just as good! Thank you; I'll be sure to get SMC working then!

You can see the whole model by setting
chase_active 1
in the console. You can move the camera around by changing chase_up and chase_back values.

[Pookaball]

I've been thinking of that, but wasn't sure. I'll check it out in a few seconds!
Edit: It's rather weird due to the playermodel leaning forward and backward when the view is leaned as well; I wonder if it's possible to glue the camera to the head motion or to disable the model leaning.
Or, I would rather play with the SMC legs.

very nice setup, can that be bottled up into a zip somewhere?
I would stick my own pak0 and pak1 back in.

See Armor's post for the 3rd person settins to view entire model.I sometimes use them on a few mods like slide or rally to get better curve carve.The drawback to enabling 3rd in FPS is you see the multigun.To fixthat you need to go bug Trickle for his unreleased multi weapon player models so you can see them in all their glory,oh and while your at it get him to update them with hi poly versions
