FOV has always been in the game to change via CVAR, it's also been on SVN since 2.05. (I added it)

It will be in 2.06 along with other options:

There's currently a bug in 2.05 where if you change the CVAR g_fov to anything other than the default, sometimes when you pick up an item, your FOV will switch to the default, and go back to what you set it to when you drop the object.

That's been fixed for next version.

What is the recommended FOV? 90? The sword and the bow have weird cutting out of PC's arms-elbows beyond the intended FOV apparently. This happens when the sword is sheathed or when the bow is drawn and sheathed. I seem to have this under any FOV.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

The recommended FOV for 4:3 aspect ratios ( 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, etc ) is 90

The recommended FOV for 16:9 ( HD ) aspect ratios ( 1280 x 720, 1920 x 1080, etc ) is 75.

Some players may find FOV 80 or higher more comfortable in HD aspect ratios even if it leads to more fish-eye distortion.

Side note: Higher FOV values increase the scene geometry that needs to be rendered thus lowering performance if you are geometry bound.

There's weird graphical artifacts even at 60 FOV. I didn't notice it before when playing. Maybe it was present all along.

My resolution is 1920 x 1080 on a laptop.

I mean that I can see beyond the intended field of view where player hands end.

That doesn't look like TDM ?

What mission ?

It's present in all missions.

Here's how it looks in TDM. FOV 80.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
