Previous Release:

Doom 3 BFG VR: Fully Possessed V0.020 Alpha


This is sizeable update with many new features and improvements.


New features include:


Teleportation is now supported, including a parabolic aiming beam.


Voice commands are supported - say a weapon name to select it!


Flicksync mode based on Ready Player One.


Many aids to prevent motion sickness, including a new Third Person movement mode.


Many other improvements have been made, please see the readme.txt for a full feature list and documentation.

https://github.com/KozGit/DOOM-3-BFG-VR/blob/master/README.txt


Default Configuration

No single controller configuration or comfort setting is going to accommodate all users equally,

so Doom 3 BFGVR: Fully Possessed defaults to a comfort oriented mode.
In the default mode, comfort ( or snap ) turning is enabled by default,
and artificial movement uses the Third Person mode. These settings
should provide a comfortable experience for almost all users. These
settings may be easily changed or disabed in game if they do not suit
your needs. From the System Menu ( say 'System', or press ≡ (menu) on
the left Touch or Right Vive ), then select 'VR Options' then 'Comfort +
Safety Protocols'. From this menu, use the 'Turning' options to change
the turning mode (' smooth 'is standard analog turning - caution -
smooth turning causes motion sickness in most people ). Use the 'Motion
Sickness Aid' options to change the comfort settings. 'None' disables
all motion aids, but this will induce motion sickness in the vast
majority of people.


Default Controller Layout

The default controller layout can also easily be changed in game. Any
controller button or Stick/Pad axis can be mapped to any in game action,
to easily create a controller layout tailored to your liking. From the
System Menu ( say 'System', or press ≡ (menu) on the left Touch or
Right Vive ), Select 'Controls' then 'Key Bindings', Scroll through
the list and highlight the action you would like to change the control
for. Press the trigger to enter 'bind' mode, then simply press the
controller button or stick/pad axis you would like to assign to that
action. If the button or stick is already assigned to a different
control, you will be asked if you are sure you want to re map, otherwise
you are done! A button or joystick/pad axis can be unbound from an
action the exact same way.


Installing Doom 3 BFG: Fully Possessed.


There are two options for installing the mod: A self-extracting installer, or a .zip file.

Due to the inclusion of new player AAS files needed to support teleportation, the size of the mod has

increased a fair amount. You will need about 1GB of free hard drive space to install the mod.


Installing with the self-extracting installer

Download the file 'Doom3BFGVR_Fully_Possessed_Alpha020_Installer.exe' from the release page at the top of this post and execute.


By default, the installer will look to install the mod in the default
app directory in your Steam library on drive C. If your Steam library is
in a different location, or you have installed doom 3 someplace else,
browse to the location of your Doom 3 BFG installation. IMPORTANT
If you browse to select a directory to install the mod, the installer
will append 'Doom 3 BFG edition' to the install path. REMOVE THIS from
the install path, so that only the full name of your Doom 3 BFG
directory is displayed. Failure to do this will result in the mod files
being installed in the wrong directory. Once installed, you should see
a folder named 'Fully Possessed' inside your main Doom 3 directory
along with some support files and the Doom3BFGVR.exe. Launch this .exe
to play.


Installing with the .zip file

Download the 'Doom3BFGVR_Fully_Possessed_Alpha020.zip' file from the release page at the top of this post, and
extract into your main Doom 3 BFG directory. You should see a folder
named 'Fully Possessed' inside your main Doom 3 directory along with
some support files and the Doom3BFGVR.exe. Launch this .exe to play.


Compatibility with existing Mods or Native Doom 3 BFG

Doom 3 BFG: Fully Possessed stores all changed assets and save games in
their own directories. Installing the mod will not interfere with
existing mods or the native game.


Compatibility with the Hi-Def texture pack

Doom 3 BFG:Fully Possessed is compatible with the hi-def texture pack.
Please be aware that the 'generated' folder included in the hi-def
texture pack is corrupt, and will crash the game if not deleted. This
is not an issue with this mod, but with the texture pack itself. After
installing the texture pack, delete the 'generated' folder inside the
'Base' directory.

NOTES


  1. The texture pack also installs German language files. If you do not
    want the game menus to be in German, delete the 'german.lang' file in
    the 'Base/Strings' directory.
  2. It does not matter if you install the mod first or the texture pack
    first, but be aware that games saved without the texture pack installed
    will not work once the pack is installed, and vice versa.

Reporting Bugs

Many bugs have been addressed in this relase, but if you do find one,
please open an issue on our tracker. We can't fix it if we don't know
its broken!

OLD UPDATES:

--------------------


Update 12-10-2016

Fixed bug related to save game crashes. Archives updated


Additional Update 12-9:

I've updated the OpenVR version of the mod to address  issues some people were having, and added a few new features.

There are now versions of the mod that support OpenVR and the Rift/Touch natively via the Oculus SDK.

See  below for a link and additional info. 


Update 12-9


I've updated the mod and posted a test verison with native Oculus/Touch support.

This includes full motion controls and the ability to interact with in game guis and the PDA by using them as touch screens.

Release:

https://github.com/KozGit/DOOM3-BFG-RIFT/releases/tag/v0.11-alpha

Please
make a clean copy of your doom 3 directory before installing, right now
this mod will not co-exist with other mods as too many of the
assets have been changed.

Take a look at the description on the release page, and the two readme files
included in the archive.  I've also included a .pdf that lists
most of the common cvars you can use to configure the mod.  Please
remember all the controls ( all joystick axes and buttons) can be
unbound or remapped to any other control. In the system menus go to 
(Settings->Controls->Key Bindings)

There's still a little oddness during loading screens.  Let me know if you find any issues. This is the first test of this, so there may be issues I'm unaware of, please let me know if you find anything.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Previous update:


I've been working on a mod for Doom 3 BFG edition for a while, and it might be ready for an alpha test. I'm looking for people to test and let me know what issues ( and I'm sure there will be some ) you have. ( Please note this is an entirely new mod, not a variant of an existing one.)


Anyway, here we go:

https://github.com/KozGit/DOOM3-BFG-RIFT/releases

New features:



Full motion control support for weapons, with support for right or left handed control.

Reload mechanics and motion controlled melee attacks are NOT finished yet, but in progress.

For now press the attack button to punch and reload to well, reload. Grenades are now

thrown via motion controls.



Flashlight modes

The flashlight can be held in the off hand, mounted to the weapon, mounted to the player helmet, or

mounted to the player body. If 'mount to weapon' mode is enabled, and a weapon without a barrel is

selected (e.g. grenade, fists, chainsaw) the flashlight is temporarily moved to the head.



Player body view modes:

You can chose to view the entire player body with ( very very basic ) IK for the arms, view the weapon and

hands, or view the weapons only.



Weapon sight modes:

Chose from a laser sight, laser dot, circle dot, or crosshair.



Optional heading indicator.

With independent head/body movement it's easy to forget which way the body ( and forward

movement) is pointing. The heading beam points in the direction the body is moving. Beam can be

solid, have arrows, or scrolling arrow. Temporary artwork.



Movement options:

The player body is locked to user position, so moving in the real world moves the player body.

Optional comfort turning, with user defined delta and repeat delay.

Walk speed adjustment from game default consistent over level changes

Option for forward movement to be in direction off hand controller is pointed

Headkick and knockback are disabled by default but can be toggled.

For non motion controls, you can lock the view and aim together, or use independent aiming with user

defined deadzones



Hud options:

Hud is translucent and projected into world.

Hud can be locked to the view or the body.

Hud position and size are configurable.

Hud can be toggled on or off, or faded in when user looks down past defined angle

If hidden, can be configured to reveal when health below defined level

Individual Hud elements can be turned on or off if desired



Stat Watch ( for the love of god someone come up with a better name )


Ammo stats are provided on a wrist worn armament inventory device if player has weapon equipped.

Soon to provide health stats as well.



Gui interaction modes.

Player can choose one of three ways to interact with in game guis

1) Look direction controls gui cursor

2) Weapon aim controls guis, in the event weapon has no barrel (grenade, fists, etc) default to look

direction

3) If motion controls are enabled, guis can be touch activated. When close enough to touch, look at gui

to activate then touch gui to control.



PDA is rendered as model in game.

PDA can be held in hand, or fixed in a position in front of the player body. If gui touch mode is enabled, the

PDA works as a touch screen device. Pressing escape during the game brings up the system menus in

game on the PDA.

PDA fixed position can be adjusted.



Cinematics

Cinematics are now from a fixed camera position. This is still being worked on, but is much better than the

free camera IMO. Some camera files still need to be tweaked for some of the cinematics. Pressing the PDA

button will exit the current cinematic



Pixel density can be adjusted.



ALL controller buttons and axes can be re-mapped to any control or action.



Weapon models have been fully fleshed out.

All of the options are currently controlled via cvars that start with vr_.  I'll add the options to the menus at some point.

The code has not been tested on any machines other than mine, so hopefully it will at least run for some of you 🙂

There are some issues I do know about. The loading and saving transitions are pretty glitchy, which is annoying.  I'll either smooth them out or just black them out.  I changed how the player hand animations work, so occasionally the hands don't play the correct firing animation.  I know how to address just need to implement.  The weapons also jump/blink for a frame when you change weapons, I know how to address I just need to get to it. Also, the source code is a mess, it's not actually on github at the moment, I'm working to clean it up and get it posted soon.

Anyway, let me know how it works for you!

Right, I put this VR mod away months ago due to the performance issues also discussed in this thread. Happy to report the new build runs great.

Decided to give the HD texure pack a go, but as someone unfamiliar with the game engine - aren't these .tga files supposed to OVERWRITE something? There's no filename collisions whatsoever if I copy the "models" or "texture" folders into the "base" folder on the game.

I don't know how Doom 3 modding works as I've never done it (used to mod Quake tho), but I think the vanilla game files are packed into large files somewhere there in the base directory. I'm pretty sure to mod doom 3 at a basic level all you do is copy the mod files into the base folder and the game automatically uses them instead of the vanilla(?)... I'm probably wrong.

@Mot666 - Roger that. I'll give it a shot.

The readme file mentions seated/standing mode, but I simply can't find the option in the menus - help?!

Is it just me or doesn't this forum has a "search thread" function?!

Cheers mate. I had a look for the seated/standing option, I couldn't see it either.

Just played a bit with the texture/model folders copied. ZERO difference - I don't think this method works.

*sigh* now it crashes every time I enter the room where the sentry crawler is shooting at some foes.

Back on the shelf this mod goes...

My mistake. I was sure I read that copy/pasting files was one way to mod Doom 3.

Well, I wiped the dir, and did a clean re-install with no texture pack, and I'm now a couple of hours in. Despite a few annoyances with the touch controls on the PDA and various screens, I gotta say it's a very good VR port.

Really love this game,
it is amazing when I am pointing the flashlight around and shooting the guns with the touch controllers it is very immersive.
and just when I think I am used to everything, some monster will jump out and scare the crap out of me.
it has some bugs but is still amazingly fun.
I tried to install the texture pack but the game soon crashed and I could not get it going again, I uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times and nothing,
then I read about a config file, and found out that when you uninstall it does not remove some files that are located other places besides the Doom directory.
Deleted that config file and reinstalled and it's working again,

I didn't think the high def texture pack really added that much to the game,
if you walk around and look at stuff it is a little more clear, but to me that's not why I am playing the game, so I am just playing without it now.
have played most of the way through and it has crashed 4 or so times but that's not a big deal.
thanks for making this awesome VR mod.

*sigh* performance issues have crept in again..  cpu usage around 50% and gpu around 60%, and it chops along at 45fps in many areas in Alpha sector 4. 😞
