Torb,
Check out in_main.cpp in the cl_ll folder.
There is a method called CInput::AdjustAngles()
You can query, modify, then set the angles as follows:
-----------------
QAngle viewangles; //temp holder
// Retrieve latest view direction from engine
engine->GetViewAngles( viewangles );
//Get view angle from the tracker
//pitch, yaw, roll
float pitch, yaw, roll;
pitch = 30;
yaw=10;
roll=0;
viewangles.x = pitch;
viewangles.y = -1*(yaw+90);
viewangles.z = -1*(roll);
// Make sure values are legitimate
ClampAngles( viewangles );
// Store new view angles into engine view direction
engine->SetViewAngles( viewangles );
---
There are some other methods in in_main.cpp that also influence the
view, and you may need to change them.
I can't remember the details, but the relate to ensuring the player's
view represents views that are feasible with a mouse.
If things aren't working out, serch in in_main for all
engine->SetViewAngles calls and see all the places where
the client is manipulating the view.
You might also want to check out view.cpp in cl_dll...
Good Luck,
Steve
