How to permanently widen FOV

[DJ_Stephan]

Wow this actualy works for me.But if i replace that stuff in shared.map file i cant play Halo 2 vista anymore game just closes and i get exceptions.But the FOV is still bigger even if i dont change shared.map file.
Since this is for changing the FOV to 1.6 can you tell me how to change to 1.9 or 1.10 because 1.6 is too big and trying to offscope with a sniper on 1.6 is horible.Whats the FOV in halo 2?

• • in the 'Replace' field type: CDCCCC3F, a 32-bit float value which translates into a decent FOV of 1.6 instead of the default 1.22. Use other float values if you prefer.

Default is 1.22 =)

But I don't know how to get the other values.

You can use hex workshop to translate a float value to a decimal value, just highlight any 4 bytes within an opened file, and see the decimal equivalent in the 'float' field, in the window's data inspector area (lower left). To do the opposite operation, just double click the float field in that same lower left area, and enter a value; the four previously selected bytes will convert to the corresponding hex float value.
