FOV since last update?

c0ldfyr3 · **Author**

Hey guys,

First off let me say sorry I haven't replied to your post on zm.com, I will when I get some time ;)

Have you guys noticed FOV change has stopped working after the last SRCDS update? None of the 3 methods I use work...

1) CBasePlayer::SetFOV
2) sv_cheats, m_Helpers->ClientCommand fov...
3) CBasePlayer - m_iDefaultFOV

All of them execute without problems but none change the fov any longer....

Hi, nice to see you online...

The last update broke some stuff as far as I know, but I haven't noticed any changes since the SourceMod team fix that stuff. I'll check the FOV stuff later.

Also try the regular fov command in the client console too. Maybe the update broke something in the engine. If that command doesn't work we can't do much.

Valve broke something? I'm shocked.

Update: Nop, FOV doesn't work here.

Cause: The offset is probably changed.

Did some more test on a local server, and changed fov in console. When I changed it I discovered it changed fade distance for all props (relative to my location).

This IS a bug since the regular fov command doesn't change fov anymore. If we find the new offset, then at least our plugins will work like expected again.

They'll probably release another update soon.

In ZM I never used the offset, I used sv_cheats 1, Helpers->ClientCommand fov and sv_cheats 0 and it worked perfectly, now however this has no effect so I'm wondering have they disabled it.

I'll email the valve developers list and ask

Valve strikes again!

And hi, c0ld.
