# Visual Commands

> Commands to customize visual settings and display options

Visual commands allow you to customize how Halo looks and performs, including field of view, resolution fixes, and performance overlays.

## Field of View

### chimera\_fov

Set your field of view. End with "v" to lock to a vertical FoV, or use "auto" for automatic FoV.

<ParamField path="degrees" type="number | string">
  Field of view in degrees, or "auto" for automatic FoV. Append "v" for vertical FoV (e.g., "90v")
</ParamField>

```bash theme={null}
chimera_fov 90        # Set to 90 degrees horizontal
chimera_fov 90v       # Set to 90 degrees vertical (recommended)
chimera_fov auto      # Automatic FoV
```

<Info>
  Using vertical FoV helps prevent distortion when switching aspect ratios.
</Info>

### chimera\_fov\_cinematic

Set FoV specifically for cinematic sequences. Falls back to `chimera_fov` if not set.

<ParamField path="degrees" type="number | string">
  Field of view for cinematics
</ParamField>

```bash theme={null}
chimera_fov_cinematic 70v
```

### chimera\_fov\_vehicle

Set FoV specifically for vehicle views. Falls back to `chimera_fov` if not set.

<ParamField path="degrees" type="number | string">
  Field of view for vehicles
</ParamField>

```bash theme={null}
chimera_fov_vehicle 100v
```

### chimera\_lock\_fp\_model\_fov

Prevents the game from scaling first-person weapon model FoV with camera FoV changes.

<ParamField path="enabled" type="boolean">
  true to lock first-person model FoV, false to allow scaling
</ParamField>

```bash theme={null}
chimera_lock_fp_model_fov true
```

## Widescreen & Resolution

### chimera\_widescreen\_fix

Fix scaling of HUD, menu, and text elements for wider aspect ratios.

<ParamField path="mode" type="0 | 1 | 2 | 3">
  * `0`: Disabled
  * `1`: HUD fills the screen
  * `2`: HUD restricted to center 4:3 area
  * `3`: HUD restricted to center 16:9 area
</ParamField>

```bash theme={null}
chimera_widescreen_fix 1  # Fill screen
chimera_widescreen_fix 3  # 16:9 center area (recommended for ultrawide)
```

<Warning>
  This may break some custom maps that have non-standard HUD layouts.
</Warning>

### chimera\_safe\_zones

Sets safe zone sizes for HUD margins. Values are clamped between stock PC values (8, 8) and stock Xbox values (48, 36).

</ParamField>

<ParamField path="vertical" type="number">
  Vertical margin (8-36)

chimera_throttle_fps 0      # Unlimited
```

### chimera\_uncap\_cinematic

Remove the 30 FPS cap from cinematic sequences.

<ParamField path="enabled" type="boolean">
  true to uncap, false to keep 30 FPS limit
</ParamField>
