FOV locked Created 11 years ago2012-05-16 16:46:54 UTC by Crollo

Is it not possible to change FOV in CSS? I'm trying to do some basic filmmaking and I can't change the FOV at all. None of the commands work.

I'm starting to feel as though Source is being dumbed down to the point of it being useless for the most basic tasks. I used to be able to change the FOV pre-OB update.
EG: This wouldn't have worked without being able to change FOV [Focal length]

For now I'm setting the AR to 4:3 and then cropping to 16:9 which gives me a pretty close representation of 50mm, but I still want to go tighter.

Are you sure it's not something as simple as needing cheats to be enabled on the server to allow the commands?

Yeah tried it, if I enable cheats and use the fov command it makes my weapon disappear [which is normal] but doesn't change the fov. default_fov doesn't have any effect whatsoever.

Maybe there's some other command valve has sneaked in and rendered the fov and default_fov commands obsolete.
