Heyo. I'm putting together a set of servers for UT and one of the things I remembered is that some weapons are unreasonably huge on higher FOVs (the redeemer especially). 227 fixes this with a modified CalcDrawOffset in Engine.Inventory.
However, that function is final, so it can't be overriden by conventional means. The event that does call it however, RenderOverlays in Engine.Weapon, is not final. Therefore the call to CalcDrawOffset can be replaced with something else. That's essentially what this mutator does for each UT weapon. I didn't add any of this for any of the unreal 1 weapons since there are a few packages that reimplement them for UT. As mentioned before, 227 fixes this so I essentially took the CalcDrawOffset code from that and stuck it into a new function for each weapon, so I didn't really do anything special but it was bugging me for awhile. Credit goes to whoever on the 227 team made the weapons scale properly on FOVs larger than 90
For anyone doing stuff with UT in the future, feel free to use this idea if you want. It's kind of crude since the only way this can truly be fixed is with a new UT patch but that likely won't happen in the near future. The mutator is named SmallWeapons.SmallWeaponsMut
