Borderlands tweaks

Shamelessly copied from the Penny Arcade forums, themselves copied from elsewhere. As of posting this, I haven't tried them yet.


How to change FOV (Field of View):
>> my documents\games\borderlands\willowgame
  • open willowinput.ini
  • add Bindings=(Name="F10",Command="FOV 90",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
  • add it amongst the other bindings, change the fov to whatever you want and switch it by the corresponding keys

How to turn off In-Game Voice Chat:
>> my documents\games\borderlands\willowgame
  • open willowengine.ini
  • find bHasVoiceEnabled=true
change it to false and you wont be transmitting voice all the time.

If the mouse feels odd to you, try this:
>> my documents\games\borderlands\willowgame
  • open willowinput.ini
  • Find bEnableMouseSmoothing=true, change to false

How to turn off the opening splash screens, brought to you by TetraNitroCubane:
  1. Navigate to My Documents\My Games\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config
  2. Open WillowEngine.ini
  3. Search for "FullScreenMovie"
  4. Erase all the entries in the [FullScreenMovie] section (Do not go past the next section title, wrapped in square brackets!)
  5. Make the file read only: (Right click, properties, read only)
  6. Done! All you see now is the engine logos and such (much better than seeing all the other videos).

To host an online game, the following ports need to be opened / pushed to the host's internal IP address:
6500 (TCP/UDP)
9989 (TCP/UDP)
7777 (TCP/UDP)
28900 (TCP)
27900 (UDP)
28910 (TCP)
