In true 1st person your own model is not rendered by your PC. The viewmodel you see is only viewable by you and is not a direct representative of what other players see as your arms and gun (as you most probably know already).

I don't see the problem, really. The aim of this modification is to allow first person perspective spectating and it seems to do that very well.

Who honestly cares if the viewmodel is pre-rendered or live? I know I wouldn't.

There is a quake cvar that allows spectating in 1st person but I don't think it was carried over (hell, it was before, I know that much - a mate of mine found it and it worked but he can't remember it now).

But, this mod does what that does anyway.

It just changes the view-point of the camera in spectate mode. That's all you need.

Any further work to enable rendering of the "client" viewmodel instead of the 3d models that everyone sees would be work wasted on asthetics.

If it's not immediately evident and you're having trouble working it out, don't worry about it!

I think everyone would just like to be able to use the work you've done already, bud. Sooner it is released the better. We can live without the graphical touches, I think.
