How to change the FoV

What the title says, I have seen it on here before but for the love of me cannot find it. No thanks to the fact that the search engine does not accept anything with less than 4 letters.

Sadly, there is no way to change this (minus a server-side mod). Current FoVs are:
Default = 90
Skulk = 105
Gorge = 95
Lerk = 100
Fade =90
Onos = 90

As for the search, I find typing something like "FoV site:http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/" into Google much more effective when searching these forums.

Thanks, that is a lot easier than using the search function.

FoV is client side. You can edit it to your liking in Client.lua.
Either modify the <i>function GetScreenAdjustedFov(horizontalFov, standardAspect)</i> starting in line 498 or just change the call to that function in line 595 (<i>local horizontalFov = GetScreenAdjustedFov( camera:GetFov(), 4 / 3 )</i>).
<i>GetScreenAdjustedFov</i> converts a given horizontal FoV value (like 90 degrees for marine) into a different one based on a vertical FoV value generated from a standard screen aspect ratio (which is 4:3 in the function call). This means that 4:3 monitors will get the 90 degrees horizontal FoV for marines since it is the standard aspect ratio, 5:4 users will get less than that and 16:9/16:10 will get a higher FoV.

I personally just change the standard aspect to 1 (i.e. change line 595 to <i>local horizontalFov = GetScreenAdjustedFov( camera:GetFov(), 1 )</i>). I don't really mind the distortion and I also get nausea/vertigo with the standard FoV on my 5:4 monitor.

You will have to repeat this almost every patch.

Doesn't that get overwritten by the server values?

It's entirely client-side script he's is changing, instead of the entity FoV-variable (which indeed would've been synced with the server immediately). People have been using this trick for many a builds now (plenty of youtube-videos out there that sport a higher-than-90 FoV as a marine).
