Hello.
Will a fov hack like this be allowed on Kronos?
https://www.worldofcorecraft.com/content/hack-243-1121-field-view-fix
What the linked thread says is that in vanilla and TBC, field of view decreased if you used a widescreen monitor (perhaps because widescreen monitors weren't that widespread back then, and this was not handled properly), whereas from Wotlk onwards, field of view increases with a widescreen monitor (as it should).
Images from the linked thread showing this:
4:3 Vanilla & TBC
16:9 Vanilla & TBC
4:3 Wotlk
16:9 Wotlk
The thread creator Turdas offers his hack to increase the value of fov. The source code is included in the download. This hack edits the memory of wow.exe when it is running, so you must run it every time you run wow. No files are changed. You can choose your own value for fov when you run the hack.
I made these screenshots myself:
Default fov
Suggested "wotlk" fov
Biggest possible value fov
As you can see, there is a potential for exploitation, but you do not see much more than what you would if you zoomed the camera out. The scene looks nicer in wotlk fov, though, and I feel I have less motion sickness, too. So what are your thoughts on this? Should this be allowed or not?
