SWBF1 FOV Mod

[alextheaverage]

So I got this game for PC when it went live on steam and noticed that not only the field of view was really low but that there weren’t any mods readily available to fix it. So I made one myself.

I update all of the FOV values for infantry and vehicles to 90 for first person and 85 for third person. I moved some camera locations so the camera didn’t feel like it was five feet behind the character with the higher FOV values.

For reference the default values are 70 for first person and 65 for third person.  Some vehicles have a much lower value like the Hailfire tank which had an FOV of 45 with a obstructive overlay.

Vehicle cockpit overlays had to be removed because they don’t scale with FOV and as a result leave a box in the middle of the screen.

FOV can’t be raised above 90 due to severe wall clipping and texture errors.

I can't attach the file to this post but I have a moddb page with SIDE files and installation instructions.

If anyone knows of any other FOV mods could you please let me know.  I wasn't able to find any but maybe I was searching the wrong things.  If I wasted 14 hours of my life setting up virtual machines just to get bfbuilder to work it would be great to know.

I know a guy who is working on something related, I think he changed the FOV of vehicles.

I see you have issues with BFBuilder. Did you download the latest version? It is not usual to see someone use VM to run a simple editor...

There are separated lvl builders floating around here if you have specific needs.  You can use it to recompile each side lvl easily.

There are also mission.lvl builders and shell and common builders.


If you can't get BFBuilder to work, what type of errors are you getting?  If you downloaded the original tools, there are some fixes that need applied that we have here.  There is an update to BFBuilder coming soon, but for now there are many fixes needed that get it in working condition.
