Global Operations - FOV Fix

This RAR file contains modified globalops.exe files that fix the FOV issue in Global Operations (2002), as the game's engine, LithTech Talon, stretches the image at resolutions with an aspect ratio wider than 4:3, due to it having a constant horizontal FOV, no matter the resolution chosen.

Supported aspect ratios: 5:4, 15:9, 16:9, 16:10, 21:9 (2560x1080), 32:9 and 48:9.

Tools used: OllyDbg, Cheat Engine, HxD

Instructions:

1. Extract the globalops.exe that corresponds to your aspect ratio to the main game folder, overwriting the original executable.

2. Set your resolution in <path-to-game>/Globalops/profile/<profilename>.cfg.

3. Look for the lines "ScreenWidth" and "ScreenHeight".

Instructions for other aspect ratios:

1. So, the LithTech engine declares FOV values as radians in a 32-bit float format. The hex location for horizontal FOV is in the address 00121AA0 and for vertical FOV in 00121B02.

2. Open one of the modded globalops.exe files in a hex editor like HxD.

3. Press Ctrl+G and go to the offset addresses in step 1.

4. Highlight the 4 pairs of values after where the cursor is positioned after doing the search for the addresses.

5. Go to the "Data inspector" tab at the right side and change the value in the "Single (float32)" row (for horizontal FOV, a lower value increases hFOV, and for vertical FOV a higher value increases vFOV).

6. Press Enter and save the file. Your new horizontal and vertical FOVs will be saved permanently.

Issues:

- Horizontal weapon FOV reduces the wider the horizontal camera FOV.
