Changing FOV in CoD2

Hey, does anyone know how to change FOV view in CoD2, because "set cg_fov" didn't work for me, cheats are needed to be enabled?

Hmm, I'll have to double check. I forget which dvar it is.

Yea, its cheat protected, but you can do:

PHP Code:

---

player setClientCvar("cg_fov", "140"); 


---

Also nice effect is to put those cvars into a loop and change it often. :D


EDIT:

Range is from 1 to 180 in CoD2.

Thanks for help

So i must have cheats enabled? Because that sucks :/

No, just set it by script.

Then that's weird, cause it did not change anything

Well lets explain:
If a player uses /cg_fov he get the message "Cheats are not enabled at this server". If you start an map with cheats (/devmap MAP) then he can use it.
But if you set "self setClientCvar("cg_fov","140");" then it will change WITHOUT cheats enabled.

If you enable cheats: Everyone can use
If you disable cheats: Only script/server can set it

Hope it explains for u.

I know that, but it didn't change the fov even thought i did write it into the script

Did you try it with developer 1 enabled?
self setClientCvar("developer","1");

it won't work

Not developer 1, just post the script.

No developer mode; no developer script. Just setting the dvar via script at player spawn:

Set at 120. If you try to set it above 160, it defaults to 80. So, although the range may be above 160 to 180, for some reason it wont actually go any higher than 160.

I had forgotten that before COD4, it was not possible for clients to set their own FOV. With COD4 and WaW, a client could edit their config_mp.cfg file and set FOV between 65 and 80. Obviously, with MW2 and MW3, they took out the dvar again, and it was only put back in with BO1 and BO2 by way of a FOV slider in the options menu.

For me, it works now
