The addon has functionality on all gamemodes and maps, but for PvP gamemodes like Versus it is automatically disabled by Valve.
To make it work in Versus on your local server, right-click on Left 4 Dead 2 in your steam library, select Properties, click on the Installed Files tab, then click on the Browse... button.
Go to left4dead2/cfg/ and open addonconfig.cfg with a text editor or Notepad.
Finally, edit this line:
"versus" "1"
to
"versus" "0"

Any way to change FOV or does it use the player's FOV?

It should use the player's FOV. If there's events where it changes the FOV, let me know.

For some reason fpanim_mod file isn't generated, I've restarted my laptop and there is no folder

A map has to be started in-game with the mod enabled for the EMS settings file/folder to be generated. VScript doesn't work in the menu.
