Mini Golf Master 2 - FOV Fix

This RAR file contains modified client.exe files that fix the FOV issue in Mini Golf Master 2 (2002). I don't recommend setting any resolution other than 4:3 ones. since wider resolutions break the dimensions of the 3D viewport ingame. A safer option is to set your native resolution in a DirectX wrapper like dgVoodoo2, along with 640x480 ingame for example. This means however, that HUD and menus will be stretched.

Supported aspect ratios: 5:4, 15:9, 16:9, 16:10, 21:9 (2560x1080), 21:9 (3440x1440), 21:9 (3840x1600), 32:9 and 32:10.

Tools used: OllyDbg, Cheat Engine, HxD.

Instructions:

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

2. Change the resolution ingame or through game.cfg.

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 00097331. Default horizontal FOV is 90º.

2. Open one of the modded client.exe files in a hex editor like HxD (it will not work with the unmodded EXEs, it has to be with the ones from this fix).

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. Use a degrees to radians converter like this one: https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/degrees-to-radians.html.

6. Enter your desired degrees.

7. Press "Convert".

8. Copy the radians result and go back to HxD.

9. Go to the "Data inspector" tab at the right side and paste the value in the "Single (float32)" row (Replace the dot with a comma, as HxD doesn't recognize floating point numbers with dots).

10. Press Enter and save the file. Your new horizontal FOV will be saved permanently.
