Hello all, I've just put a new version up today, here are the main features:
Mirror View Options
This is what ive been working on most this past couple of weeks and I am pretty pleased with the result. If you go to the options menu > mirror view. You have some settings there that will affect what appears on your computer screen (but not what you see on your headset). Its worth noting that having something different rendering can affect performance a bit, so if it feels slow, switch it off if not needed, or reduce quality a bit.
-
POV FOV - increase the field of view when in POV view
-
POV Stabilize - smooth out the wobbling you see when watching VR footage
-
Mirror Mode - Choose between: POV, Mixed, Moving, Side view, Behind View, Enemy POV, Static, Mixed will switch between the mode, hopefully showing on screen something that will resemble a fight scene out of a movie (your mileage may vary)
-
Mini POV - show the stabilized POV camera at the bottom left of the screen while other modes are showing in the main view
(See the video at the bottom of the post)
A note with this: If you press the spectate button while a non POV view is showing, then the mirror camera will move to line up with your own and zoom in a bit - I did this so that if you want to talk to camera or do some cool pose or something, then you know that the "viewer" will be seeing something similar to you.
Its not perfect yet (sometimes goes behind a wall, the zoomed in spectate cam button still seems to be a bit wobbly) but I think its pretty fun and I wanted to get it out there - I will continue to work on it
Realism Mode
Some people expressed a desire to have a way to do some more realistic martial arts fights without special moves etc. So I have added "Realism Mode" to the special modes on the main menu. It has:
-
No special move
-
No slow motion
-
Less effects e.g. no stars flying round their head when dazed. You will still get hit effects
-
Minimal UI - no healthbars, combo text etc flying about
Other Changes
-
Special move positions now a bit more forgiving
-
Healing wine nerfed a bit
-
Fixed a glitch on the Pimax and some WMR headsets that sometimes turned you round 180 degrees
-
Extra options for custom mode (switch U to minimal, switch off slow mo)
-
Few other small things
-
Tried to do a thing to make your character mouth move when you talk, but I don't think its working - let me know if you see it
I've got some vive trackers that I hope to experiment with over the weekend (should be fun), and next week I hope to try and add a left handed mode and try a few other things that I mentioned in my last post + things that players have suggested.
I hope you like the new changes! and have a great weekend - Ben
