Dynamic Camera FOV for Carbon

NFS Carbon - Dynamic Camera FOV

Source Code (click)
--
This .asi mod/script is an attempt to create a dynamic camera FOV behavior for NFS Carbon's camera. The faster you go, the wider the FOV.

How it works:
When enabled, the script temporarily patches/disables an original game function that writes/calculates the camera FOV. Then it calculates new FOV values in real-time, with the player's vehicle speed as the base.

Features:
- Set initial/starting FOV
- Set max/target FOV
- (experimental) Apply smoothing methods (graphs/curve) to how the FOV increases and decreases. There are 3: linear, cubic-in, and cubic-out.
- Set at what car speed the FOV should reach its maximum value
- Set hotkey to toggle

Known bugs and issues:
- Interferes with FOV of photo mode and the game moment cameras (jump, pursuit breaker, roadblock, speedbreaker)

How to install & use:
1. Make sure you have installed ThirteenAG's Ultimate ASI Loader (by the way, it's included in their Widescreen Fix for NFSC)
2. Put the scripts folder onto your game root folder
3. If you want to configure anything, edit the DFconfig.ini file
4. Press your hotkey to enable (default is F1 on the keyboard)

Extra notes:
- For an even better sense of speed and gameplay experience, this mod is best paired with:
BadassBaboon's Extended Cameras
ARCHIE's Motion Blur Control
- You can also adjust your own camera position settings using OGVI/VltEd to fit the FOV better
