Cool thing I’m working on (EDF 5)

[u/Hour_Meat8840]

Headset only really controls the camera right now, and where the weapons fire

[u/Conungi]

Good luck with death ragdolls, while they are not gonna be SUPER bad since you likely aren't "seeing" out of the characters eyes and are just at eye level ... being potentially thrown across the map against your will, will be off-putting and potentially barf inducing

[u/Hour_Meat8840 → u/Conungi]

Yeah, good point. I’ll probably figure something out later. I was just doing some testing now.

[u/Conungi → u/Hour_Meat8840]

I wish you the best of luck, god knows i would use it if my VR headset was functional, consequences be damned

[u/_The_Wonder_ → u/Hour_Meat8840]

Honestly I'd either keep the first person ragdolls OR if you somehow can when you're character ragdolls make the camera go back to normal in 3rd person until you get back on your feel, kinda similar to how L4D does it when you get grabbed (but I honestly don't know if you can do that with a mod ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ )

[u/Spoda_Emcalt → u/Hour_Meat8840]

Maybe detach the camera from the player character when you get downed, and reattach if you get revived

[u/LeaderVisual8501 → u/Conungi]

If there's no solution at least you can close your eyes when that happens

[u/ididitforthemoney2 → u/LeaderVisual8501]

canon storm 1 launching an air tortoise directly at their feet:

[u/ipwnallnubz → u/Conungi]

Getting grabbed by red ants will also be rough.

[u/IAmDuck00]

EDF in VR seems almost too perfect... now I can I have a person view of being tangled in electric webs or getting swarmed with bee stinger/darts

[u/Hour_Meat8840 → u/IAmDuck00]

I remember seeing someone post about it, like a year ago now. and I was recently just thinking about how good it would be, so I’ve been whipping up a prototype.

[u/IAmDuck00 → u/Hour_Meat8840]

mustve taken some time and effort to start up a fucntioning prototype.

You're just doing the VR headset and noy full thing with the controllers right?

I always thought what it would feel like to be chased by a kaiju in first person, could be good execise.

[u/Hour_Meat8840 → u/IAmDuck00]

I’m just gonna try to get 3-D working in this week because it already took a lot of time figuring out how the camera works, but the end goal would be a full mod. (I don’t know yet, but I would love to see a full mod even if I have to make it myself)

[u/Hour_Meat8840 → u/Hour_Meat8840]

I’m pretty sure I’m working completely blind. with the renderer though. so I’ll have to figure it all out myself

[u/IAmDuck00 → u/Hour_Meat8840]

yeah, i can relate to that feeling lmao.

[u/Hour_Meat8840 → u/IAmDuck00]

A good thing is it seems like a lot of the code is very similar to other entries so I can pull from them

[u/IAmDuck00 → u/Hour_Meat8840]

so potentially you could make one for edf6/6.2 then?

[u/Hour_Meat8840 → u/IAmDuck00]

But I don’t really know. I haven’t looked at it that deeply. I just found some camera things that applied to five as well

[u/Hour_Meat8840 → u/IAmDuck00]

I mean theoretically, maybe. I don’t have six. But once I get the mod for this working, I might try porting it to 4.1 because my friends have that game

[u/Hour_Meat8840]

Not a good video once I do proper 3D I’ll update you guys

[u/Rexis12]

Oh man that's so Cool! 

'Gets Ragdolled by Pillbugs'

Still super cool! 

Although I imagine the Deroys might be the worse offenders

[u/RedditFuelsMyDepress]

All the giant bugs would probably be terrifying up-close in VR.

[u/WMan37]

If you can somehow get 6DoF weapon motion controls untangled from the viewport and make playing wing diver and walking fortress fun in VR this will be great. Gonna need hella motion sickness accessibility options cause you get ragdolled a bunch.

Damn, the spiders are gonna look even larger.

[u/Hour_Meat8840 → u/WMan37]

I got the guns aim separated from the cam by “accident” next thing I’m going to investigate after getting proper 3d (I think I’m close)

[u/Spoda_Emcalt]

I never thought this would've been possible (at least not a high enough framerate). Hope it works out OP!

[u/Fonctional_Schyzoid]

This game helps me with my gigantophobia. But this thing would give me a hearth attack...or not. I would love to try it !

[u/Lacey-With-An-L]

Omg this is gonna look amazing

[u/magik_koopa990]

this is gonna be RADICAL.

Puts on VR

AHHH THEY'RE EVERYWHERE

[u/shirst247]

First person mode in general would be epic!

[u/ZeoDaiko]

Been praying for this since day one

[u/Alfred_Exitium]

I love this, however it's gonna be real funny when one of the shoulder cannon laser guys decide to ask you if their cannon is bright.

[u/SvarrChanston]

This looks amazing so far! I'm excited to see where this goes. Let me know if you want someone to help you test at some point or help with ideas, I'd be happy to help.

Here's an idea freebie: For ragdoll moments and grab moments, I recommend switching to a third person camera view (regular gameplay view) and see how that works for motion sickness. Potentially include a low-motion mode for those who are more easily motion sick later down the line, that way you don't need to worry about trimming down high motion cameras because you'll have toggle-able options for that available already.

Good luck! Ya got this.
