I took inspiration from UGX Mod for this, it will essentially maintain the FOV when aiming, so if you're FOV is set to 65, when you aim, it will still be 65, instead of 45 or whatever weaponfile has it set to. Note: I take the assumption you have ADS FOV is set accordingly, if it's set higher than current FOV, this won't work.

As always, I recommend downloading something like Notepad++ and enabling Syntax Highlighting (Wiki has tut for this), click here to download it.

Go to root\mods\modname\clientscripts and open mapname.csc, if it doesn't exist make one, and go to root\raw\clientscripts, and copy it from here to the folder in mod.

Once here, got to the bottom of the csc, and add this:

fov_maintain_watch()
{
	self endon( "disconnect" );
	while(true)
	{
	if(getdvar("cg_scoba_fov_maintain") == "1") 
		setClientDvar("cg_fovmin", getdvar("cg_fov"));
	else 
		setClientDvar("cg_fovmin", 10);
	wait 0.5;
	}
}

The go up in the same csc and find this:

println("*** Client : zombie running...or is it chasing? Muhahahaha");

and under it add:

players = getlocalplayers();
for(i=0;i<players.size;i++)
      players[i] thread fov_maintain_watch();

Next go to root\raw\ui and copy the file "options_game_pc.menu" to root\mods\modname\ui (create this folder if it doesn't exist).

Open this, and locate the following section:

CHOICE_DVARFLOATLIST( 22, "@MENU_ENABLE_CONSOLE", monkeytoy, { "@MENU_YES" 0 "@MENU_NO" 1 }, ; )

Under it add this:

CHOICE_DVARFLOATLIST( 27, "Maintain FOV in ADS", cg_scoba_fov_maintain, { "@MENU_YES" 1 "@MENU_NO" 0 }, ; ) 

In mod.csv add this line:

menufile,ui\options_game_pc.menu

Tick the csc if it isn't ticked, the menu file need not be ticked. And that should be it.

You can use in conjunction with this, just make sure to change the 27 above to 28 or something, this will move it up or down:

Note: If you have this enabled ingame, and decide to lower your FOV through a slider or similar, the effect won't be seen while paused, the fov will set once you leave the menu, this same effect is not seen when increasing the field of view.

Sweet, was planning on implementing this into my own map. Saves everyone with the same idea some time.

Not sure if getdvar in csc will work correctly.
Have you tested this in coop to make sure it applies to the player  with varying fov?

I tried it with setting a dvar to true in gsc if they are prone and checking in csc, I assumed it would work with this somewhat, I'll give it a go though, just kinda hard to do co-op testing when the game decides to give me 500 random errors like "could not find zombiemode"...

Very nice scob. Was looking for ages for this. Thx.

Seems to be working:

And tried messing with FOV, switching settings constantly, etc. and didn't run into any issue. Still though please report if you do have any issues at all in co-op.

Or, you know, "cg_fovmin #"

EDIT: Just saw that in your code. My bad.

Sadly. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Using both of your tuts. This and the fov slider. So i lunch map, put the slider to the full right "95 fov". Click yes on the ads thingy. Go to the map and try to ads it keeps getting back to the gun's fov ads that's has been set in weapon file. Ok restart, everything is working perfectly. Dafaq ?

Just to point out I have tested many times, across different maps, with different configs, etc. and didn't run into any issues, Co-Op is the only thing I haven't tested fully, only once.

If you run into any issues on Solo, it's probably on your end.

Actually if it happens again, type cg_fov into console and take note of the value.

EDIT: And cg_fovmin, they should be be the same if it's enabled, that's how it works, it sets the min fov to the same as the fov, overriding the fov set in weaponfile.

This isn't working. When I try to play my map it says that the variable "players" is not initialised. I've followed the tutorial through and through but I can't do anything about it?

You probably didn't copy the second part correctly, you can see it is initialized above.

If you're 100% sure you did it correctly send me your mapname.csc from clientscripts.

I've edited tutorial too, meant to do it a while back but changed to getlocalplayers with suggestion by alauranc.
