Interesting parts on VR version in game files

[MarcusInVR]

While looking for something completely different in the game files with the Cat Extractor tool, I found something quite interesting. For example:

Code: Select all

ui/core/lua/loading.lua
--------------------------------------
bool IsVRMode();
bool IsVRVersion();
bool IsVROculusTouchActive();
bool IsVRViveControllerActive();
[...]
function initVRTexts()
	-- gamepad
	local groupElement = getElement("vr_gamepad", private.screenshotElement)
[...]
	-- vive
	groupElement = getElement("vr_vive", private.screenshotElement)
[...]
	-- oculus 1
	groupElement = getElement("vr_oculus_1", private.screenshotElement)
[...]
	-- oculus 2
	groupElement = getElement("vr_oculus_2", private.screenshotElement)
[...]
	-- oculus 3
	groupElement = getElement("vr_oculus_3", private.screenshotElement)
end

I also found

Code: Select all

ui/core/lua/vr_pointer.lua

-------------------------------------
-- Presentation specific callbacks --
-------------------------------------
function onVRPointerChanged(_, enabled)
[...]

Nani?

Please move to the correct section if this is the incorrect sub-forum

left over files and code from X Rebirth VR, some other "VR" code is used for the eye tracking devices "e.g. tobii", Egosoft did state that turning X4 VR would need a separate version balanced completely differently to keep the game enjoyable in the shorter vr form, and that we are very unlikely to get it any time soon since it is not worth the time investment atm.

Exactly.

Hopes raised...


-then SHOT DOWN , hitting ground, with big explosions and secondary explosions in a most dramatic fashion with me flying out screaming, "NOOOOOOOOOO!".

@ Socratatus: In VR, hopefully.

Hi all,

Is it possible in future releases to add HMD support as an experimental feature just for head rotation, even without interacting with the environment?

For X3 series I used Vorpex software and this was very immersive, but since X4 use the Vulkan library, it is impossible to use this software

I am currently playing X4 in VR with a Reshade/VirtualDesktop combo, using OpenTrack for translation of HMD movement into the game (SteamVR -> TrackIR). Although some stretching of the image obviously takes place, it is immersive enough not to want to ever play on flatscreen again.

Thank you for this info, will try it
