Hey buddy ...

Well none of the numbers of the number pad are used ... how about 1 and 0
0 for Enable (usually a bigger button) and 1 for disable ... ?

Did you find any way of fixing the binoculars for TripleHead ? ... they don't zoom very far when the FOV is so wide.
I haven't got a sniper rifle or any rifle with a scope yet but I would guess that the zoom won't zoom too far with them either.

I'm a bit stuck when using that hack thing. I'm trying to play it with a resolution of 1280x800, but can't seem to set it right. What numbers is it supposed to be on for a 1280x800 res? I tried the one listed for a 16:10 resolution (FOV : 115 Aspect Ratio : 0.75) but it feels all weird, like I'm looking at the game through a magnifying glass sort of thing. Anyone know?

Hmmmm, Im guessing that this fix doesnt work for Vista, correct? I run the hack, set my desired settings, open the game, and I see no difference. When I hit * nothing happens...

Any help would be appreciated. (im running at 1360x768 btw).

... don't know as I don't have a 16:9 screen ... :wink: ... but why not adjust them for yourself in the game ... instructions for adjustment to the FOV are on the FOV Hack tool and in the solution.

You have to set the res in the games Graphics menu ... the FOV Hack is for setting the FOV ...
As I said above ...why not adjust them for yourself in the game ... instructions for adjustment to the FOV are on the FOV Hack tool and in the solution ...

From the Solution ...

To increase the FOV press the + key in your number pad.
To decrease the FOV press the - key in your number pad.

To increase the Aspect Ratio press the shift key and the + key in your number pad.
To decrease the Aspect Ratio press the shift key and the - in your number pad.

Yeah, Im running Vista Ultimate, and I cant get this hack to work. I run it and all, but nothing happens. Ah well, guess I'll keep my eyes open for any other alternative for getting widescreen to work properly.

If he does change it he should move the "-" key as well as that dissables the HUD, and other keys for the FOV function on the numberpad would would be nice as well instead of having to hit shift on the keyboad.

I don't have time to test more now, but i lose end of text lines when talking to someone with Thead resolutions (ie 3840*1024) - FOV 240 - 0,9 i'll look further to see if other settings in your tool can avoid that - btw, nice tool, thks!
