[bf1942] OT: please have a look at this, DICE Canada, resp. ANDY (or: Is this list still active?)

game.ServerFreeCamera 1
game.freecamerabasespeed 0
game.freecameraslowspeed 0
game.freecamerafastspeed 0

It still works but the settings "still" only work for that current map
setting. Even if you alter the serversettings.con or serverautoexec.con
files. So we usually enter these commands after each map change. Therefore
you are undetectable :)

What overwrites the serverautoexec.con file to earse these settings,
anyways?  We run BFVSM...could that do it?

But admittedly it would be nice to have this feature always off ;)

I posted on the forum about this, and a solution was suggested. I know
this worked before the 1.02 patch, although last time I looked I think
it wasn't working. Anyway, it's worth a try:

Make the following settings in your serversettings.con:

game.ServerFreeCamera 1
game.freecamerabasespeed 0
game.freecameraslowspeed 0
game.freecamerafastspeed 0

When you die, you get free camera (and so the killer is not identified).
Since the speed is set to 0, you can't move to look around.

I'm interested to know if this still works. I haven't had time to test
it lately.
