black screen program surrounding windowed tf2

13 years ago

One of my friends linked me a program that blacks out the rest of my screen while TF2 is in windowed mode (by pressing shift+star). However, I can’t find the link. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Thanks

play fullscreen

or get a wallpaper which is black and drag the icons to the midle of it… why’d you play windowed mode while u can’t reach your desktop? lol

To use custom resolutions not supported in fullscreen by your display, to abuse custom aspect ratios like 2:1 for example in order to get higher FOV.

That’d get you FOV 123 you bad troll :( (123.2900764 to be precise)

quoting some dude called jaeger

fov_desired changes horizontal fov but the game ensures constant vertical fov at different aspect-ratios so first we determine our vertical fov at 4:3

verticalFov = 2 * atan( tan( 90/2 ) * 3/4 )
verticalFov =~ 73.74 degress

horizontalFov = 2 * atan( tan( verticalFov/2 ) * aspectRatio )
horizontalFov @ 5:4 =~ 86.3 degrees
horizontalFov @ 4:3 = 90 degrees
horizontalFov @ 16:10 =~ 100.39 degress
horizontalFov @ 16:9 =~ 106.26 degress
