Why was it disabled for players? I assume it could be a cheat but I just don't see how. It was very cool IMO. Remarks in console say its only enabled for spectators and in demo playback.

Asking because I was going to request that it be changed back on Sourceforge EZQuake page.

Oh another new ezq-feature I have never heard about. What is cl_camera_death? Yes I will ask here instead of searching for manuals or actually testing using my client

just guessing, it would display the dead body from 3rd-person. Possibly some death animation also.

Obviously a cheat since it would display more than you normaly can see from the corpse.

I don't use it when playing (cause it's annoying), but I can't see how the use of this feature could give any sort of advantage.

Yea, Willgurht described it well. It is a cool feature, er was. Should be up to the server operator to disable it.

but isn't most of the cheat/ security features controlled clientside? i.e. ruleset smackdown.
for a rookie nquake install this feature should default to ON i think.

agreed. Ruleset is what should control features like this.

whatever happened to cl_camera_tpp ? I miss that so much
