MGE iT / MGE iT West / Re: Fov mod on the MGE server

So like I said I will ask a few people what they think, but since this is such a game changing mod I am leaning towards no at the moment =( Sorry

I respect your opinion and decision, but I have to disagree with fov being a game changing mod.  I don't know if you play MGE alot, but MGE really isn't about awareness.  Its very simple to know where someone is jumping from or where they are going.  If fov was 120, it really wouldn't provide much of an advantage.

Also, with people being turned off by 120 fov...  On the jump server, I ALWAYS use 120 fov.  When people spec me, they always point out "How do you play with such a gross FOV?".  Personally, after using 120 fov for years in quake and TFC, I've grown accustomed to it and play my best with 120 fov. 

Most players from what I have seen see a higher fov as a hindrance rather than some crazy unfair advantage.  If you ever go on the jump server, you can see someone put in 120 fov for their own use, and then you can see tons of people trying random numbers like !fov 160 or !fov 20 until they finally go back to 90 fov.

Would it be possible to just put the FOV mod in as the aspect of it on JumpIt where you can type "/fov 120" and no one will see the chat message?

It's not up to me but I think the reason why it's not there already is that some people use MGE to work on different aspects of their playing in an environment as realistic (to an actual game) as possible.

This is why we haven't installed the mod.

I really dont think 120 fov (the FOV I use) is a huge advantage over 90 FOV.  Its more of a preference thing.  I completely understand that many people use MGE to practice, but I feel that MGE also has the potential to be like jumping - people will MGE because they just deathmatch.

If you ever played TFC, you would know that there was a map named mulch_dm, where many people ONLY deathmatched as soldier, and there was mulch leagues.

MGE iT / MGE iT West / Fov mod on the MGE server

I have played TFC for a long time using 120 fov, and I really cant stand 90 fov.  Thats part of the reason why I love the jump server (and concs ).

Can you enable the FOV mod on the MGE server?  Its on the surf server, and it would be nice to have it for MGE as well.
