In Jedi Outcast and most Quake engine games. If you run the game in a widescreen resolution the player's weapon appears closer to the screen and certain details are cut off. This is especially noticeable with the E11 Blaster Rifle. Here are two comparison screenshots as a reference.

16:9


Thankfully this is fixable with a console command

The fastest method to doing this fix is to open the console with the ~ key

Then input these commands

helpusobi 1
cg_gunx 3
cg_guny -1

then the game will look something like this


This method is less than ideal because you would need to do this every time you start the game. But it's the fastest way to get it to work.

You can also play around with the offset commands in your spare time. Here are all of them

cg_gunx
cg_guny
cg_gunz

gunx will move the gun model across the X axis which is left/right

guny will move the gun model across the Y axis up and down

gunz will move the gun model towards or away from the player's camera

the default for each is 0. So to restore all of them back to the original position input

cg_gunx 0
cg_guny 0
cg_gunz 0

This is a slightly slower method but you should be familiar with it if you've already modded the widescreen resolution. There are 2 downsides to doing this method.

This command is cheat protected which means you will start the game with cheats on at all times. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but some players will refuse to play the game with cheats enabled.

This does not work in multiplayer because this command is for some reason cheat protected. You will need to start a multiplayer server with cheats enabled to get this to work.

Go to your jk2config.cfg in your base folder. This is commonly located

c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Outcast\GameData\Base

Now find your jk2config.cfg file. If it's not there, run singleplayer once and change some of the graphical settings and then close the game to generate it.

Open jk2config.cfg in wordpad (or notpad or some other text editing program) and scroll to the bottom. Now input these commands

helpusobi "1"
seta cg_gunx "3"
seta cg_guny "-1"

Save the file. Now the game will always run with these commands and look like this


You can alternatively input cg_gun commands based on your preference by playing around with it in the console. These are just my preferred view commands.
