FoV

[itf pr0metheus]

Hey guys. Just started playing H2 again, but on the PC, and noticed the FOV is crazy huge on a widescreen monitor.
Is there any way to change this easily (with support for multiplayer?)

Hoping so, and Hoping that it won't cause any issues with the crosshair position on the weapon (like it used to before opensauce came out for H1)

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction

Cheers

Hi There!

I'm quite happy to do it, as long as it doesn't adversely affect the network - which I can't see it doing that much.

I'd be able to probably offer 90% uptime - with a scheduled midnight Friday reboot (GMT), to reinitialise two VPNs. (This could be shifted to Sunday, as friday night is kinda prime time for my gaming )

I just need to know really the typical bandwidth usage of a 16 man server, over the space of a month, as well as the system requirements.
I know that the dedicated server cannot run on the same machine as the client but thats no issue.

I plan to throw it on a few virtual instances, probably xp if i can get away with that - if not, it'll have to be 7/8/Server 2012 - dont have licenses for anything else anymore.

This pack includes a slight FoV fix to make it equivalent with H2x's FoV.

There are also extra mods included in a sub folder (called MODS), one app called Blu Trainer vK2 allows you to manually change the FoV in-game, but it does reset after zooming/a new variant. Still, its a good mod pack that extends H2v in many ways.

"I know that the dedicated server cannot run on the same machine as the client but thats no issue."

Well i just want to point out that is it possible, i do it a bit, if you set the dedicated server up as a service then the client can be run as well.
Its been awhile but i'm pretty sure when it is set up it actually gives it it's own user account too (but it isn't logginable, i can see it in c:\users titled "H2Server")
Just wanted to mention that even though it isn't an issue for you...
