I've used all fovs before. I think having precise mousepad/mouse is more important, lower fovs can mean that you can use less precise mouse movement because its so close up, you don't need to twitch aim with lg or rail to hit.

If you have like 105 fov then you need really precise mouse movement to control your shaft, since the enemy looks much smaller.

For duel I think higher fov gives more comfort. In the range of 100-105 (depending on screen size) because you can follow the enemy easier with your eyes since fov 90-95 will make you need to move the mouse more to capture them on screen.

I like shaft with cg_fov 180; cg_drawgun 2;cg_zoomfov 80; +zoom;cg_guny 2.25;cg_gunx -10;cg_gunz -10;cg_lightningimpact 0;cg_lightningstyle 4

(sparks 0 + tiny crosshair)

mental - Reply to #37

I don't know if it's the only benefit, but using cg_fov 180 then cg_zoomfov XXX will make LG shaft even more thin than just using drawgun 2 and cg_gun[x/y/z] cvars.

Is sensitivity being scaled when using zoomfov?

any idea how to replicate fov 110 on 1680x1050?

4:3 on 1050p 16:10 tft?

custom resolution!

seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_customwidth "1400"
seta r_customheight "1050"

now it only depends on how your tft is working with this input

possible problems might be:
- only one big black bar on the right
- added input delay due to processing (dunno for sure with 1:1 pixel...)
- weird driver settings scaling the picture
- wrong tft osd settings scaling the picture

I was thinking of the frustum as an angle say on the unit circle. 90� would be like highlighted as the first quadrant (upper right) with the view center going straight down the middle at 45�.

At -90� I imagined that the view center would take place at -45� (or 90� to the right of the first view center). It made me laugh : )

Of course not correct at all. The reversal of the terminal and initial sides would go like you suggested. Also funny : )

It seems many people think that higher fov is better for duel, while it is exactly just the opposite.

Why we all started increasing fov back in QW days? To see more, so we could see our opponent earlier. That worked well at the beginning and also gave us pleasant sense of speed. But back then our game wasnt so much aimbased like it is today. However over time things changed. Now a good dueler is one that can keep track of his opponent at all times. That means he can face him at any given moment which renders wide field of view less important. Instead aiming became real deal, and lower fov helps a lot in that department.

Additionaly increasing fov makes things seems faster while decreasing slower, so with low settings we have more time to make our shot :P

@2000 and earlier, best fov 120

@2002-04, best fov 110

@2005-08, best fov 105-103

@2009+, best fov 100

at least if you're still playing on a 4:3 crt

if you're playing on widescreen 22"+ tft, i dunno, never tried it, but i guess that it feels smoother/more comfortable with a higher fov ? Or am i wrong ?

Anyways in vq3/ql, you don't need anything higher than 100 tbh (on a crt), very balanced fov imho.

You just use the same FoV you'd use on a 4:3 and it fixes it for you.

You get like 15 degrees extra so 90 is more than enough on 16:9

Only in ql and games that recalculate the fov according to the aspect ratio.

In q3 fov 90 would stay 90.

I don't even know what fov I'm using as I'm using foxs cfg.
And tbh, I tried figuring it out, but I decided I should just leave it the way it is, and start playing with his settings, and thats what I'm doing now.

Otherwise 90.

102 rockets

110 rockets high , nades , proxy mines and pummel

100 PG , SG and Nails

95 MG

90 rail , LG and chaingun

this is all done through zoom fov using one of the two zoom algorithms

zoom in FOVs:

65 LG and CG

45 rail

55 everything else

in my opinion, fov does not matter in duel, since turning cm/360 has nothing to do with fov, and in duel, you always should know whats up and where your opponent is, might be handy to use a zoomfov that actually zooms out, not in

it is fucking personal preferance.

once arqon mentioned in osp forums 103 may be the most accurate (accurate in what terms?)

i use 98, not because it is natural fov, but vanishing point / architecture looks most natural to me. second its best compromise between hitscan acc and angle/view control for me.

Can someone find the link to this? I'd like to read it.

Can't think of anything special about fov 102/103 other than it is roughly 2pi/7 * 2 (~102.9).

Don't know why that would be significant though.

103/102 is very close to taking 3.5 "screens" for a full 360 rotation. For exactly 3.5 "screens" would be fov ~102.9 again.

4 screens would be fov 90, and 3 screens would be fov 120, so maybe his idea has something to do with using the exact mid point between these two.

I really have no clue.

Quake live will only show you up to 130. However up to 180 still has some effect in regards to some zoom mechanics.

Rapha uses 110 normally, except in one tournament he used 102 because he said the monitors strangely made the enemy models look very small.

The general consensus is that 90-110 is the range of what should be considered.

A non-default value for a cvar that appears as a trend in the pro circuit should be at least considered.

one important thing i noticed with players like cypher that use fov <95 is that they miss their opponent at
times when the model is at tthe "corner of their eye". I see this and I laugh but missing your enemy's model could come at critical moments: in one game vs Rapha, Cypher was on dm13 rl catwalk and Rapha was creeping under him while Cypher was looking at lg ammo hallway. Cypher still missed him but the stream config managed to catch a little bit of rapha's green model wihle cypher completely missed him. I think Rapha consequently took RA though i'm not completely sure of that.
