Need help SOF Helix hex edit

Never used one of these, no idea how to find and change the "AEA54-AEA55" opening the dll as instructed to change FOV.

I normally use 1680x1050 on my HP A7217A widescreen CRT, so what FOV should I use?

I have NO idea what you mean by "change the "AEA54-AEA55" opening the dll as instructed to change FOV" ???

Well it is talked about in the Helix solutions thread, but after trying out the training level, I don't know if I can stand the heavy bobbing in this when he crouches etc.

I don't remember the first SOF being like this.

They're hex addresses (he's talking about this here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/

1. Download XVI32 as directed, start it and open the file: cgamex86.dll.
2. Once it's open, from the menu select: Address -> Goto.
3. Enter AEA54, it will highlight a little square (this is 1 byte in the file).
4. Type: "3930" (without quotes). It should overwrite the two bytes you need to change.
5. Save the file. That's it.

thanks.
Now I will have to find out if I can disable the horrible bobbing in it.
I have never seen such sickening movement and I played Descent 3 back in the day.

Can't remember the cvars, but bring up the console and punch in "cvarlist" then "condump" and it'll make a text file with the cvars listed.
Open that file up and search for "bob" and put those settings to 0. (zero)
