Cheat Engine

I hope you don't mind me mucking up the forum a bit... I'm fairly new to Cheat Engine.

I've been looking into using Cheat Engine to find and alter the FOV for various games that have no other way to do it, and I started off with Hitman: Blood Money.

Using the memory viewer, I did a search for "FOV" in referenced strings and got a very good start; there's a referenced string explicitly saying "float CameraFOV = 67.4;", but I am not sure what to do past finding this result. A scan for the float 67.4 in memory didn't yield anything with the scanner, and I can't seem to add the memory address containing the referenced string. Do you fine folks have a tip?

Disclaimer: I don't have the game.
Looking at this gave me a wild idea: what happens if you put "CameraFOV 90" in your HitmanBloodMoney.ini?
If this doesn't work you can try "CameraFOV=90", "ConsoleCmd CameraFOV 90", "ConsoleCmd CameraFOV=90". Also try them in the cheat menu.

Otherwise, try to replace that "float CameraFOV = 67.4;" by "float CameraFOV = 90.0;" in memory (try before and after loading a level) and see what it does.

Your reply has a lot of good leads. Thanks for taking the time to write that out! I'm running through some of your suggestions now.

Looking further into referenced strings brings up ToggleFreeCam, a command that can be added and mapped to a key within a custom .cfg file.

In HitmanBloodMoney.ini I have to write:
ConfigFile=[insert config name].cfg

And create [insert config name].cfg in the same place. Then to that file I add:

ZWINDOWSKEYS_1 =
{
ToggleFreeCam=tap(kb,k);
}

SO now I am guessing at how to alter the FOV using the config file. So far I have tried:

CameraFOV = 90; outside of the ZWINDOWKEYS
CameraFOV 90 outside of ZWINDOWKEYS
CameraFOV 90 = tap(kb,j); inside ZWINDOWKEYS
"CameraFOV = 90" = tap(kb,j); inside ZWINDOWKEYS

No luck so far, but I think I am close.
