FOV switch bind?

[R O C]

Anyone have a decent FOV bind to switch in game?
Mine doesn't work

Mine's pretty simple - just use my mouse wheel:
bind mwheeldown "cg_fov 120"
bind mwheelup "cg_fov 90"

PUNKED!

I use this just change as appropriate if you want to use it :)

bind j "vstr fps_change"
set fps_change "vstr fps_76"
set fps_76 "com_maxfps 76; echo 76; set fps_change vstr fps_43"
set fps_43 "com_maxfps 43; echo 43; set fps_change vstr fps_125"
set fps_125 "com_maxfps 125; echo 125; set fps_change vstr fps_76"

Yeah, I recognize that one from a tweak cfg. Isn't that for FPS though?
While I got ya on the vine here, know any bind that recognizes a command for mouse click?
I have a Logitech mousewheel that also has a click select function. Don't know the command to use it though. I can set the near and far but I would like to have mid-setting as well.

whats a FOV? :icon_rolleyes:

field of view you goofball lol

[WhyNot?]

baahahahaha!
I thought it ment something else :D

My bind is:

bind F3 "cg_fov 120"
bind F4 "cg_fov 90"

Yes i removed ready and not-ready for those but i never use F3 or F4 once a map ends, I just click ready..
And another reason for putting it there,
It's close to 3 (weapon slot) and I would never bind it to mouse wheel.
Since the mouse wheel means a fast weapon switch when you are moving.

Interesting reasoning. I seldom want to look at my keys to reach the function keys though. In typing class, they didn't exist so I never taught myself to use them w/o looking.

What else does it mean???????

Why use both and not one? :rtfm:

[WhyNot?]

I still don't see the point of this... :icon_rolleyes:

The Field of View determines some things.
1. How wide you can look
2. how easy you can make headshots

How to use it?
In wide open areas you switch to wide view(highest field of view) to make sure you see everyone.
If the opponent has a sniper on the other side of the map, you zoom in (smaller field of view) you can now make headshots more easily, but it is harder to hit people close-by who are moving around.

Try it,

Good luck :)

[R O C]

Yeah, what she said! :P

Why use both and not one what? Function keys -vs- mouse wheel? Not sure what you are suggesting.

bind MOUSE5 vstr FovToggle

/set FovToggle vstr FovLow

/set FovLow "cg_fov 50; set FovToggle vstr FovHigh"

/set FovHigh "cg_fov 130; set FovToggle vstr FovLow"

This is what I have, very effective. If you don't have a MOUSE5 then select whatever key you like. But using these commands you have one key for both. So toggle between FOV's with just one key ;)

PB kicks for Cvars outside 90 and 120. How do you rate?

[Cav]

Oh I didn´t know that. Looking at my cfg this is what I exactly have±
seta FovToggle vstr FovLow
seta FovLow "cg_fov 30; set FovToggle vstr FovHigh"
seta FovHigh "cg_fov 130; set FovToggle vstr FovLow"

But that´s not at all within 90 and 120 xd. As soon as I´m getting kicked I´ll change it then lol. How do you mean by how I rate ?

[Kernel 2.6.5]

ET only goes to 90 degrees on the low end.
Even if you enter something lower than 90, it's still going to be 90.
The max. is 160 even if you enter a number higher than that.

[Cav]

Ah I see. That does explain why I didn't see much difference lol.

How do you get away with it is what I mean.
I am always leery of pushing the cvars and getting kicked, or worse...banned!
