T3FovPatch is a trivial program that changes a few scripts in Thief 3 to modify 
the player's BaseFOV property.

Its primary purpose is to adjust the FOV to something suitable for a widescreen
monitor.  (Note that it does not touch your .ini files, so you'll need to set up
a widescreen screen resolution yourself.)

USAGE:

Run the program.  Select the aspect ratio of your screen - this will normally be
16:10.  You can also enter the resolution you intend to use (e.g. 1280x720) or 
simply enter the FOV you want to use (e.g. 180, if you're crazy).

LIMITATIONS:

In the current version, the FOV is only changed in a few places: at the very
start of the game, and when entering and leaving the stitch in the Cradle.  So
unless you're playing the Cradle, you basically need to start a new game to
change the FOV.  We apologise for any inconvenience.

The FOV changes also only apply to the original game.  FMs will not be touched 
and will still play back in vert- as always.  Complain to the FM authors if it
bothers you, since they could perfectly easily release widescreen versions.  :)

The widescreen effect is not perfect.  The HUD and menus are stretched.  Also,
bow and eye zoom are not affected by the BaseFOV property, so these will
still be vert-.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Credit goes to Paddy the Wak @ Widescreen Gaming Forum for the initial Thief 3
widescreen solution (vert-, with a neat pseudo-hor+ camera hack for third-person
only).

Thanks go to EvaUnit02 @ ttlg for testing the first version of this hack
exhaustively enough to notice that I messed up the FOV calculations.
