[ANY] Unrestricted FOV
 

[ANY] Unrestricted FOV

Description:
Allows players to choose their own FOV settings, even if their desired FOV is outside of the game's normal bounds. FOV settings are stored in Clientprefs.

Players can choose their FOV setting by typing !fov <number>. To reset to their client's FOV setting, players should just type !fov.

This is only tested in TF2 but should work in all games.

Warning: This plugin is capable of modifying a player's field of view (FOV) beyond the normal limits that the game sets. While this plugin will not trigger a VAC ban, third-party anti-cheat solutions may mistakenly ban players who use this plugin to set their FOV. I was unable to trigger a SMAC ban using this plugin, but you may want to test it yourself prior to installing it.

Cvars:

• ufov_version - plugin version
• ufov_auto_update - enables automatic updating (has no effect if Updater is not installed), defaults to 1
• ufov_min - minimum value a player can choose for their FOV, defaults to 20
• ufov_max - maximum value a player can choose for their FOV, defaults to 130

Installation:
Put unrestricted_fov.smx into /addons/sourcemod/plugins, and reboot your server or type "sm plugins load unrestricted_fov" into your console or rcon.

Auto Update:
Install Updater. The plugin will be auto-updated according to your Updater settings. It'll work without Updater.

Cool

Re: [ANY] Unrestricted FOV
 

Haha, this is pretty fun.

Re: [ANY] Unrestricted FOV
 

For clarification, this is safe correct? I assume this works the same way as a lot of RTD effects work. The Open Plugin for Fov being banned recently raises concern is all.

Re: [ANY] Unrestricted FOV
 

this has nothing to do with the banned open plugin. this is a server-side mod so you wont get vac banned for using it like any other plugin.....

Re: [ANY] Unrestricted FOV
 

Just makin' sure, I've had a lot of people ask me already and wanted to totally make sure.

Re: [ANY] Unrestricted FOV
 

You will never get VAC banned for something that the server is doing. That's not how VAC works.

Re: [ANY] Unrestricted FOV

Re: [ANY] Unrestricted FOV
 

Any way to do semitransparent weapons or is that all client side?
