    Many thanks! I was unable to frob

    Spoiler

    the book in Davenport's chest. never mind, I was thinking of a different chest

    . Might be an issue with the VR game version then, I'll try again with regular desktop.

    fixed mission name

    I just played about an hour of Perilous Refuge in VR. It's working great, I cleaned out most of the town and am about to head to the ship. 

    It looks really good! No problems or bugs with the VR implementation so far that I noticed. I didn't see any weird lighting artifacts or double images, etc.  The world scale feels properly dialed in, which I'm really fussy about - great job.

    The WSAD movement works just fine, but the mouse rotation dead-zone felt a bit strange at first (I think I'd prefer all or nothing). It would be interesting to try it with no mouse rotation at all and just use the mouse for aiming/selecting. You could then use the Q and E for snap turning 45° (the lean keys aren't needed since you can just lean irl anyway). That might be be a good option as a "comfort setting" for people that get nausea from smooth turning (although I was fine).

    Anyway, even with no further changes, it's very enjoyable as is and I'm excited to continue playing the missions in VR from now on (assuming other maps work as well as this one). Thanks a lot!

    I played through the Smiling Cutpurse on the vive yesterday. Looks great and runs so much better than the vorpx hack. A few shadows out of sync between eyes, but 99% of it looked perfect. You definitely need to lock-out the vertical mouse. I think that would be most important to make it comfortable to play while it's still seated mouse/keyboard.

  22. Oculus Rift - The Dark Mod - Vorpx

    Well I just updated to the new vorpx version, which now allows gamma adjustment and got it working again after some messing about. I uploaded my new vorpx profile for TDM if it is of use to anyone.

    The game is playable on the vive now, but tbh after playing proper made for vr games the past few months, I find it difficult to go back to using this vorpx hack. The experience is really sub-par compared to what is possible with native vr support. I will return to playing TDM on a flat screen as it was designed.

     

    Cheers and have a Happy New Year!

    Sorry to hear that Bucklebean, I hope your family is doing well. That's awesome you have both rift and vive. I ended up cancelling my rift order and spent the money on a 980Ti instead, but I still wish I had both for testing purposes.

    I haven't tried TDM since I posted that; actually I haven't played any seated games at all. I'm having too much fund with the roomscale stuff - love those vive controllers.:)

     

    The 2D fov adjuster is interesting. I hadn't played with that much, not sure what it did.

    Performance is identical to the DK2. Smooth when looking around (due to vorpX fluidsync I guess), but you can see the rest of the game is running at a lower framerate.

     

    For the brightness, I'm hoping Reshade updates to support direct mode. Alternatively, if you run vive in extended mode you can adjust the brighness/contrast, but I was having trouble getting vorpX to work properly.

    Editing a mission to change values should work, that's a good idea Demagogue. I wish I could find the time, I haven't even learned to use DarkRadiant yet. I have too many interests to focus on one thing long enough. :wacko:

    Now working on the HTC-Vive!

    I uploaded my vorpX profile if any one wants it (I think it will change your xbox mapping as well though, so be warned).

     

    It looks good, much cleaner than DK2. Like before, you need to set a custom resolution in Nvidia. I used 1350x1500 @ 60Hz. It doesn't need to be active, just present for the game to see it.

    Edit the Darkmod.cfg and change these lines to fix the resolution and screen ratio:

     

    seta r_customHeight "1500"
    seta r_customWidth "1350"
    seta r_fovRatio "0.9"
    In the vorpX settings I used:
    Geometry mode
    Separation (3d strength) 0.45 (works for my 58 mm ipd)
    Letterbox1
    Zoom 0.92
    The left and right screen edges are very slightly cropped. If you turn off the vorpX ambience in edge peek, the cropped edges will be black so it is not noticeable. I tried higher zoom levels to fill the screen, but it causes distortion. Actually, I tried a myriad of resolutions, screen ratios and zoom levels and this was the best I could get it.
