Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I followup on the FOV tutorial I did a while back and fix the fov_desired ConVar in Source 2013 Multiplayer mods, while also investigating the cause of skybox clipping/culling when large FOVs are used. I wanted to tell a story in this video about how fixes might be simple, but implementing fixes can be difficult given the circumstances, let me know if you liked the investigation portion of the video! Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!
