How to change the FOV in UT?

[PliotronX]

Is it possible? After playing a good game of Q3 at 120º FOV, UT hurts my eyes

At console, type fov 120
or smth like that.
Most Internet servers don't allow changing FOV though.

Thanks man..

Ack.. this server not allowing thing scares me. Would it be considered a cheat or something? Because I don't want to be banned off of anything for simply changing the FOV :-o

They don't ban you off, servers just don't allow changing FOV.

(hint: FOV 20 and youve got yourself a sniper rifle )

I believe the command is SetdesiredFov xx where xx is the setting. The thing with UT is that you must set it before you join a server. You can have it set to anything you want. What you can't do is change it while your in a game online. (Unless a server allows it) I have not found any servers that allow it.

I've goofed around with an alias offline, it went something like this.

SetDesiredFov 20|OnRelease SetDesiredFov 100, As Andri said, it allows you to zoom with any weapon. It was kind of fun picking off Snipers with the Enforcer...
