From there you can map buttons to the binds described here: https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings#bindings, you'll want to use Height Toggle. whoa. This is sorta hacky/cheating-ish for Pavlov as there is no in-game way of artificially changing your height, you're expected to really crouch to pick up weapons n such. That being said I'm not against trying this.

Updates from VRChat: - I met a Thai fellow who knows how to play and sing the entirety of The Pillows's discography, down to knowing what track on the album each song is. - I am now a kangaroo. - The bits I would do IRL that would bomb every time are like magic laughing powder when I say them in an Australian accent as said kangaroo. - VRChat is 80% of the reason for owning a VR setup.

explosivo posted:I picked up Eleven Table Tennis on a whim because it's $10 right now and it feels very accurate to the real thing, and I do like that you can drag yourself around manually so you can play sitting down if you want. Definitely gonna lean on a fake table at least once or twice though, I already feel it coming. I played a bunch more of this tonight and it took a while to get a feel for it but it's a lot of fun. I have trouble lightly hitting with a forehand because it sometimes registers as a bunch of tiny hits like it's rolling off the paddle or something. I might just need to practice more with it but even within the hour that I played I could feel myself improving.

explosivo posted:Dirt Rally 2 is VR compatible but a few minutes of a race made me more nauseous than I've ever been in VR yet so uh maybe watch out for that one. Ott_ posted:DR2 is hella fun and the only times I ever felt sick were during crashes where the car rolls over like 7 times and still lands it so uh take that anecdote. Also make sure you have rumble turned on (steam controller has it off by default), it helps a lot with managing traction. Yeah I've never felt bad from Dirt Rally either, and I'm a weenie compared to most of this thread about VR comfort and tend to play with teleport over smooth locomotion. The games that make me feel bad are... well, mostly ones with free locomotion! Sitting in a car feels pretty natural. If your comparison is to standing roomscale games then yeah, everything else in VR is gonna make you feel sick. But if you're comfortable with games that have smooth locomotion and feel bad in dirt rally, I would check real hard to make sure its rendering at a consistent framerate and at a high rate and all that. It can be easy to lose track of how much the game is dropping frames but quickly start to feel it.

I downloaded the 100gb for dirt rally, had one game then felt so sick I was sweating. I have to try it again but I'm genuinely a bit scared. Think I need to get the fan out again.

Still worth double checking that you're getting a solid 90fps or whatever though.

Try the "Trouble in Terrorist Town" modded mode as well. It's a basic game of murder, trying to work out who the Terrorist(s) are in the group before they can kill everyone else. Everyone has guns, so paranoid accusations tend to go as you'd expect. There are balance measures to stop players just going "is it you? *BANG* Is it you? *BANG* Is it you? *BANG*" until they find the actual terrorists too.

Started building my pinsim controller the other day, pretty happy with how it's turned out so far.  Waiting on some hardware to arrive to finish it off, everywhere is closed for the next 2 weeks to get pinball parts locally. Still need to add 2 extra buttons to the side, didn't realise I'd need the magna save buttons for the launcher software when I started it. I'll be able to get the wiring done, vinyl on and legs mounted hopefully this weekend and start setting up the pinball PC to run this thing.

Can someone link to the good Quest 1 controller cover things? I haven't felt the need for them until now but I've been playing Beat Saber every evening recently and I could do with something that will let me grip the controllers like (I who has never held a sword would imagine someone would hold) swords without the battery cover slipping off. Also I was checking out VR cover foam replacements - is there a consensus on which is the best one? It looks like they have options between leather, silicon and machine-washable cotton now.

I picked up a cotton one for my quest 2 but it hasn't shipped yet. I think someone here mentioned having one of the silicone ones and said it was good but depending on how long it takes to deliver I can report back once I get mine in!

when I first played Pavlov, I felt insanely ill after 2-3 minutes. Now I can play basically anything for as long as I want, until I get eye and neck fatigue. I do think moving from the rift S to the reverb helped somewhat with nausea issues, but I also think I'm rewiring my brain to get less hosed up by the experience. Or, maybe "more" hosed up, since it's basically being trained to misprocess spatial information based on visual input from a fixed focal plane ~3" away.

Pro tip; Go into the safety settings and disable avatars for Visitor-tier players. Aside from dealing with general individual obnoxiousness, if you enter a world full of gray generic robot torsos you know it's best to just move on and don't look back.

Note about Pavlov. When we say its like counterstrike, we mean counterstrike from the late 90s, early 2000s. Not CSGO. It's not very competitive, lots of funny maps or gimmick games, lots of screwing around. I've played some cool tower-defense like custom games, TTT of course, jailbreak, stuff like that. It's a real good "Mess around for 30 minutes" kind of game. For new players I think its pretty good since its familiar gameplay but playing Dust in VR is really pretty special. It does induce a little motion sickness but it's probably a good middle ground for getting used to it (but stop as soon as you start feeling sick!).

The problem is, what software are you talking about? AFAIK there's 2 solutions for VR pinball. One is very slick but also expensive and there's only like 9 tables total. The other is some open source table emulator software that I could never get to output proper VR.

VR Pinball is the poo poo. It makes me feel like I'm getting a deal because I should be pumping quarters into it.

How is it on PC in VR? I have it for Playstation and the VR mode felt novel but was sort of disappointing. There was just like, no detail beyond 50 feet and you could see massive swathes of game just pop in constantly.

Yeah, the winter school break really turned the unattended racist child factor up to 11. My policy is frequent use of the Block feature within the first three sentences of meeting someone. It's like a laser gun that removes people from your consciousness, it's great.

I’m going to guess it depends on your computer but with a 1080ti and a r5-2600x the only time I really notice pop-in is when I’m flying along the ground in the ship. I think that’s an engine limitation more than your PC at that point.
