Hello blacksnack,
After setting chase_active 1 you can use:
chase_up "number" -> to set the vertical viewing distance;
chase_back "number" -> to set the horizontal viewing distance.
Semi OT suggestion to the developers: could this command be modified in a future release of Nexuiz so that setting it at 2 [or any other value, I don't care] will display your character from the front ? I would love to be able to view my character from the front while running/jumping/etc.
Now with new shiny avatar.
