I need rear views of my new skin to edit it. I altered the game shortcut to allow cheats (to toggle cg_3rd_person). I know the shortcut works because I get a 'cheats = 1' from the console in the main menu.
But then cheats won't work when a map is loaded (I create a mp internet game with just me in the game), and I get a 'cheats = 0' from the console.

1. How can I see a rear view of my skin for editing?
2. Anyone guess what's going on with the cheats?

I suspect cheats don't work with the 1.1 patch, although I can't find any info online to support this. If you have the 1.1 upgrade patch installed and can get cheats to work, please let me know.
Thanks
