Download THIS FILE[drive.google.com]

Then put both files in the folder
D: \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ left 4 dead \ left4dead \ addons

These 2 files added a new command to change the FOV
How it work?
After that, there are two new console commands:

viewmodel_fov_override and fov_override






The first command is responsible for the FOV of the hands, the second - a common FOV.

You can put any value. For example:

viewmodel_fov_override 90
fov_override 75
Examples of hand's FOV
FOV 54 (Default)
FOV 60
FOV 75
FOV 90
FOV 100
Common FOV
FOV 90 (Default)
FOV 100
FOV 110
FOV 120

I combined this with a autoexec I called "aim", that has this set inside:

crosshair 0

alias +fovzoom "fov_override 45; viewmodel_fov_override 37; +speed; crosshair 1"
alias -fovzoom "fov_override 90; viewmodel_fov_override 74; -speed; crosshair 0"

bind Mouse2 "+fovzoom"

And it makes the game have a sort of zoom "aiming" function.

Decent work, add right values in autoexec.cfg and roll on! Thank you :steamthumbsup:

I found a "bug", when you use both commands viewmodel_fov_override and fov_override together there will be a degradation of performance.
To reproduce this use a hunting rifle, open the scope and start shooting, after about 6-7 shots the FPS will start to drop and will not return to normal until you return to the main menu.
For this test I formatted a partition and installed only Steam and the game (vanilla).
