How to permanently change FOV and some other tweaks

[Diego912]

First go to: path to game\dlc\pack1\scripts and open levelTweaksData.lua with notepad then look for dofile("dlc/pack1/arttweaks/USS_01_tweaks.tbin") and change the .tbin to .lua, then go to the file path: dlc/pack1/arttweaks and here is where the "magic" starts: op0en the file USS_01_tweaks.lua with a notepad and in the end of the file, is where you need to add the FOV command lines, you can find them in the file globaltweaks.lua, inside the folder: path to game\tweaks and search for lines that end with Y FOV.

Eg: tweak_float("/Camera/Death/Standard/Standard/Y Fov", 45 ) then you change the number to the desired fov, like 70 or something else. For each level you need to change the path in levelTweaksData.lua and then add the fov values to the correspondent .lua file inside the arttweaks folders. eg: for the second level you need to change dofile("dlc/pack1/arttweaks/USS_02_tweaks.tbin") to .lua path and add the fov values in the USS_02_tweaks.lua file and save it. pretty easy for the 7 main levels, now for the dlc levels, you need to go to the exact path as it says in the levelTweaksData.lua file. eg: for the first dlc level, the path it says in the lua file is: dofile("dlc/pack2/arttweaks/SO_01_tweaks.tbin"), so you need to go to: path to game\dlc\pack2\dlc\pack2\scripts open the levelTweaksData there, and chage the line to dlc/pack2/arttweaks/SO_01_tweaks.lua in there, then add the fov values in the correspondent file there (dlc/pack2/arttweaks/SO_01_tweaks.lua), there are few dlc levels in each dlc pack (2-3-4) folders, just look for their paths in the levelTweaksData and change their path in the exact folder as it says.

After each file you change, save it as read only (don't know if it's really necessary), and then you're good to play. I'm gonna leave some of the fov lines I changed to save some time to anyone who wants to test it :

Just copy/paste it in the end of a level .lua file, like USS_02_tweaks.lua (second level) and then save it. You can find their original values at globaltweaks.lua and there's a lotta more fov lines there if you want to check then all out. While you're in the level lua files, you can also disable some effects like bloom ("/PostFX/Bloom Enabled", true ) and change it to false. And I think thats all.

yep, This works. FOV doesn't reset. thank you.

[Zach]

Bumping this just to say thank you so much. I've been struggling to try to switch some of the camera values around and your thread is what finally got it working for me.

Side note, if you change the FOV, you will probably want to bring the Focus lines down 10 degrees or so, otherwise aiming doesn't zoom very far at all.

Also remember that this game uses vertical FOV values, not horizontal like most other games! For example, if you're used to 90 FOV, you'll want to set this game to 59.

Here is a handy calculator to convert your horizontal FOV to a vertical value: https://themetalmuncher.github.io/fov-calc/

Edit: lol what a weird word to censor. Either google "vertical FOV calculator" (it'll be the first result) or replace the censored word in that url with "munc her" without the space.

This is a cool guide, you should put it under guides too :)

[Diego912]

If anyone want it, feel free to make a guide with it, just don't forget to credit me.

For those who are lazy, I adjusted the settings you can copy paste with Zach's suggestions. They're more in line with games like Gears of War if you're used to that POV:

[Mr.Death]

I cant get the FOV to change for the spec ops DLC. Do i have to change every single line in all the leveltweaksdata inside every single DLC numbered folder to get it to work?

Yes, unfortunately you do. In the leveltweaksdata folder you have to change each relevant "tbin" line to "lua", and then in each level lua (SO**_tweaks.lua) you'll need to add the FOV lines.

I apologize if this is a Necro, but I did the work myself and wish to share it for everyone in the future that may come here looking for this. But does not have the scripting knowledge to do it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2086914537
