CVAR_CHEAT cvars can be modified prior to using mod and used in game

krazykaze make sure cg_thirdperson* vars are set to defaut
because you can set them to higher vars
and when you are dead, you obituary cam inherits those values
so if i set cg_thirdpersondistance 1000 i can see people across the map if they are in a line of sight

Oh really
do you mean cg_thirdPersonRange @donka ?
it says it's a CVAR_CHEAT which can't be modified

donka 02/27/2021
it can
you can save a config with it and then when you join a new game it will accept the value
i found this when i made a movie and then joined a real game
just start a local client
sv_pure 0
devmap whatever
cg_thirdpersonrange 400 or so
or
save a config prior to starting the game (this is the option demonstrated in the video below)

This seems odd to me that the mod wouldn't latch down the cheat cvars when the mod starts so they are the correct values. Maybe we're missing a code change from xmod/wolfx? I will try to confirm this issue tonight and post a video

I couldn't recreate this using cg_tracerwidth so I'm waiting to hear back from Donka

We are going to add items to the cvar restriction list for now and keep this on the backlog for future version
