Fontaine's FOV Fix & Variable Optics 2.1.8

FOV Fix

Have you seen this video?

I did that, but as a mod. ADS will no longer change your FOV by default. You can use the config to choose how much your FOV increases/decreases when you ADS per magnification level. You can also adjust the amount of scope zoom globally and the camera position relative to optics.

Also includes Variable Zoom optics and toggleable zoom (like ARMA)!

Recommended Mods:

I recommend the following mods in combination with this:

• SamSwat's Increased FOV mod
• SamSwat's Vudu Mod: added a compatibility option for this vudu mod which adds a different reticle for each zoom level, mimicking how first focal plane optics work (in other words it looks sick). Enable compatibility in the config. Make sure it's last in load order.
• Geff Hannigan’s Scope Overhaul (updated version). Original upload.
• Amand's Graphics
• Traveler's Thermal Bundles: make sure to check the install instructions for how to set this up correctly.

Installation, Config And Settings:

To install, extract the .rar into your SPT directory, or make sure that the FOVFix.dll is in your BepinEx/plugins folder. Make sure the Fontaine-FOV-Fix folder is in your user/mods folder.

To open the config menu, press F12 while in-game. There are tooltips explaining the settings. Click anywhere outside of the menu to close it.

Sensitivity:

If you have DISABLED Variable Zoom, then go to the mod's server folder (user/mods), open the config in a text editor and set the "disable_sens_changes" option to true.

If you are using Variable Zoom you MUST use the sensitivity changes, otherwise the ADS sens across different optics will be very inconsistent.

To adjust how much magnification reduces ADS sensitivity, adjust the sensitivity modifiers per magnification level.

Alternatively you can disable the manual adjustments and use the automatic adjustments. For automatic adjustments ONLY, you can LOWER the Mouse Sensitivity Reduction Factor, but a value of around 90 will be right for most users if you also raise your aiming mouse sensitivity. So if the mouse sensitivity overall feels too low, then simply raise your aiming sensitivity in the game options.

For reference, I use 1500 DPI, 0.3 non-ADS mouse sens, 0.5 mouse sens, and I use the manual sensitivity adjustments with default settings.

If you still struggle with the sensitivity, then just use the manual option "Use Preset Sensitivity Reduction" and adjust it per magnification level.

FOV:

Adjust the "Base Scope FOV" value till 1x magnification looks like 1x to you. For reference, a Base Scope FOV value of 25 at 1440p with game FOV of 75 looks like 1x to me.

The "ADS FOV" values will change your player camera's FOV when aiming, also known as "eyeball zoom". A value of 1 = no eyeball zoom. If you want the FOV to be back how it was without the mod, set 1x FOV to something like 0.85 and everything over 1x to something like 0.55.

Note that it is not intended to use variable zoom with ADS FOV values other than 1, but it is possible. It might just look/feel weird and 1x won't be 1x unless you adjust the Base Scope FOV value.

Disabling Variable Zoom:

Disable it and sensitivity changes in the config options, then go to the mod's server folder (user/mods), open the config in a text editor and set the "disable_sens_changes" option to true..

Realism Mod Compatibility:

Latest version of FOV Fix now automatically detects Realism Mod and makes adjustments.

SamSwat's Vudu Compatibility:

Enable compatibility option in the in-game config, make sure his mod is last in the load order. Can be used with Geff's overhaul.

Traveler's Thermal Bundles Compatibility:

Enable compatibility option in the server config, make sure his mod is last in the load order. Can be used with Geff's overhaul. If using his file replacements for Pettan's 13.5 Content Preview, DO NOT USE THE INCLUDED FILE REPLACEMENTS FOR FOV FIX.

Correct Load Order:

• Geff's Scope Overhaul
• Pettan's 13.5 Content Preview
• FOV FIx
• SamSwat's Vudu Mod
• Traveler's Thermal Bundles

Issues:

Some of BSG's scope bundles may not play nice with this change. I recommend Geff's Scope Overhaul, check the 'Recommended Mods' section.

Uniform Aim is not compatible!

Some of the config settings either require you to re-equip weapons or to load into a new raid for the changes to take effect. Check the tooltips in the config menu.

There may be other unforeseen issues or bugs related to FOV.

Thanks to notGreg for allowing me to implement his mouse sensitivity corrections from Uniform Aim.

Thanks to Klean for inspiring me to make this mod because of their video.

Thanks to Debbie Downer for telling me how to access optic's FOV.

Thanks to everyone who helped testing variable zoom and gave valuable feedback.
