Is there a way to change the height range?

if its the height of the map, i believe that is a finite number... but you could 'raise the bridge or lower the river (so to speak) by pushing down the starting ground level... if that makes any sense to you... (it goes up and down the same finite number)...

/mapenlarge which make the whole map bigger but it won't overwrite anything you have already made. Take care!

Character models view height is what I meant, I didn't know how to put it specifically. Like change (the characters/players perspective) from default to something that stands higher from the maps point of view.

in the model.cfg file for the model... there is a configuration called mdlbb, probably near the bottom...

example... rc model md5.cfg

mdlbb 3 12.5 .9 (i set my width to 3)

the first is the width
the second the height
and the third the view height

.9 is a percent... .9 of 1.0...

as I quess :D so you want to know the view height range. This one is a little weird for me too... In RPG you can set it to more than 1.0 or lower. Such as 1.3 or -0.9 so that you're playermodel can have a view point higher that. But! I can't the reason why it doesn't work in FPS mode... They supposed to be govern by the same part of the code in the engine but... Supposely there also a part of it in the game section of the code... So I can't help with that since I'm not really a programmer... Sorry for my inability.

Thanks for the help both of you (Wind Astella, and North Star).

@North Star, thank you. I have found the folder and I'm going to experiment with it. Lots of people understand descriptions differently, luckily I figured out what you meant and I appreciate it.
