Hi, I got it all working last night. Yes, I just commented out that particular 'IsSpectateOnly' check, updated my p_model table in view.cpp and the first person camera works fine. The other points you mentioned, I added code to catch 'follownext' in my gamerules::clientcommand() so it just calls another observerFindNextPlayer()
I also hooked up the 'vgui camera menu' (spec_mode #) to resend that value of user1 back to the server so it can update the real user1 (which then gets copied to the client again - hence the reason you need to inform the server if there is a change on the client or the client change just gets lost next time the server updates iyswim).

I just got the view setup correctly and the view models showing by changing this: (in V_CalcSpectatorRefdef, about line 1496-ish) // predict missing client data and set weapon model ( in HLTV mode or inset in eye mode ) if ( gEngfuncs.IsSpectateOnly() ) { V_GetInEyePos( g_iUser2, pparams->simorg, pparams->cl_viewangles ); (.. a few lines later, the code that looks up V_FindViewModelByWeaponModel(), and sets the view model ), etc. So it doesn't check for IsSpectateOnly() .. (initially i did 'la ugly hack' and changed it to if (1) but, i'll just comment out the if and else blocks. I'm not sure if this is a bad idea or not. Can anyone think of why that is a bad idea?
