uhhhh what Fov does what?

field of view. measured in degrees from the top of the screen to the bottom.

a1k0n i mean what Fov does what like what does Fov 300 do and stuff

Fov 300 actually isn't a valid parameter, but whatever. If you type /fov <number> into the chat box, it will set your field of view to however many degrees you specify. 100 or more gives you a "fish eye" view while anything less than 75 zooms in. 75 is the default setting for field of view, and I think 200 is the max.

The fish-eye view actually makes it easier to use high-autoaim weapons I think.

but the highest angle is 360

yeh but that would mean ur trying to look in all directions at once

Sounds usefull.

yes, at least very usefull in 3d first person shooters, maybe you now understand why you always got bashed in games like Quake :)
those generally play best at higher than standard (90) fov.

Perception of speed is also much higher with a big fov.
A normal human has a fov of around 120.

Yeah, but the screen is away from you; so unless you have the screen around you, you'd need to have a low fov /me thinks

And a person's attention span isn't that big. There is a reason people move their eyes as they read.

The highest is 180, that being totally flat. That doesn't actually work, but 179.9 does, which looks... scary.

Well, you CAN go higher, but then it starts to feel like your oxygen tank burst, and you're hallucinating from carbon dioxide overdose.

No, that's the limit of the engine. Sounds like an opengl gluPerspective camera... fov, aspect, near, far...

Wow! I remembered something from comp graphics!

180 and higher just doesn't display anything.

200 looks wierd

when i type
/fov 100
i allways get unknown comand.

/set fov 100

I think.

You think correctly Suicidal Lemming. Correct format is /set fov 100.
