Guns, when seen in the 1st person view, look like they're short and fat.
Is there some kind of setting I can change that changes this? I'd like them to not have this ... warp or whatever it's called.

My M1 Garand and some other rifles look like they're as short as an M1 Carbine rifle.

FOV related? you could try to change the soldier camera position

You can change the FOV setting for soldiers. Go to the CommonSoldierData.inc file in the soldiers/common folder of objects.rfa and look for this line:
Change it to something like this:
Higher numbers will mean thinner guns. This will affect only the 1st person view of soldiers.

Thanks, I'll mess around with it and see what I can do.

Yeah, it works:

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.set1pFov 0.47

Change it to something like this:

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.set1pFov 0.7

Higher numbers will mean thinner guns. This will affect only the 1st person view of soldiers.

That fov setting only affects the weapon I suppose?

Yes, just the weapon.

Higher numbers will begin to impact other things you see from 1p view. Not just the weapons. But with small changes things beyond your weapons like buildings/tanks and stuff won't have any noticeable change.
