hi,
since I'm pretty new in modding swbf2 this newbie question; how do I edit the fov in swbf2? I already tried hex editing the all, rep, cis and imp.lvl and change all values for the thirdpersonfov from 65 to 120 but it doesn't seem to affect the game in any way.

can somebody help?
thanks in advance

I'm not sure. I know it can be done with the Fake Console, so it is possible. Hmm, I'll look into this.


This isn't a newbie question either by the way.

Are you looking to do this via modding or real-time in-game? If the former, the ThirdPersonFOV/FirstPersonFOV settings are in com_inf_default.odf. If the latter, you can use FakeConsole's Lua console to inject a SetClassProperty function, though I'm not entirely sure that that function works under Init as I've never tried it myself, but I'd say it's worth a shot. If you do try it, you'd type this into the Lua console:
You would obviously change 60 to something else, but you'll figure it out.

Hi,

thanks for your reply. The 2nd way didn't worked, how do I edit the com_inf_default? I searched on how to edit shipped sides in swbf2 but didn't find anything :/


thanks in advance, mark

com_inf_default is an ODF located in data_ABC/common/odf's. Im guessing you would want to edit these lines which are right at the bottom. you would need to make an Ingame.lvl Here is what you would put in your ingame.req
This should work. If not, let us know.
