4.12 Version

Great work Getnamo, do you plan on supporting Oculus 1.3 and Unreal 4.12 eventually, since the VR Editor is already included in 4.12.

Thanks

Hi getnamo
thanks a lot for your razer hydra plugin!
I am working on Project called "In the Shade" www.intheshade.info together with Richard Ziegler who did the programming.
Its is my Bachelor thesis at the School of Fine Arts HBK Saar and we used your plugin to start this project.

The editor itself should support Oculus 1.3 as the Hydra doesn't interact directly with it. No changes in the plan to continue releasing updates on each major engine release, but only after it has graduated from preview.

You're most welcome and that looks awesome! Looking forward to seeing this develop

Can't wait to try out the 4.12 VR editor with the Hydra's - hopefully this is updated sooner than later - thanks in advance!

Update to 0.8.9
-Merged compile fixes for 4.12
-Updated binaries

Grab latest at the usual: https://github.com/getnamo/hydra-ue4/releases

If you want to use the hydra as your vive wand for e.g. vr editor I highly recommend you use the Steamvr hydra driver: https://github.com/betavr/steamvr_driver_hydra/wiki which will have wider support for other apps and games too.

Wow, thank you so much!

The 4.12 plugin works great, but I have a rather big problem. I am building a VR project and it currently support the SteamVR motion controllers and this Razer Hydra controller. When I do not have my Hydra plugged and I am using the HTC Vive motion controllers the relative position of the motion controllers stays at zero. I fact my Vive controllers ( and I think any other motion controller ) will not function when the plugin is active. This was not the case with 4.11. Is it possible to fix this ?

Not sure why the hydra plugin is taking precedence though maybe it has to do with the compile fixes for 4.12 (https://github.com/getnamo/hydra-ue4...f4ae373d64fcdd). I'm away from my vr setup for a few weeks so you may have to investigate yourself on load orders and things. Perhaps detecting the hydra being unplugged would require it to come back with not tracked in https://github.com/getnamo/hydra-ue4...lugin.cpp#L314 and https://github.com/getnamo/hydra-ue4...lugin.cpp#L339 linking it to the function call which detects hydra plug in/unplugged status https://github.com/getnamo/hydra-ue4...lugin.cpp#L453

The hydra controllers needs to be on the base-station for the Vive controllers to function again. When the controllers are not on the basestation or the Hydra USB is unplugged, the motioncontrollers remains on 0.0.0 position. This leaves me kinda stuck in 4.11 at this point.

If I'm understanding you correctly if you have your hydras unplugged, but the plugin is enabled it will still do 0,0,0 for motion controllers even if you have vive controllers on and working?

Update
I've found the bug, will push a commit soon with the fixes along with 4.13

[ipas]

Sorry for my very late response. Yeah.. the Hydra needs to be plugged in for the Vive motioncontrollers to work. When the plugin is enabled and the hydra is not plugged in, the position of motioncontrollers stays are 0.0.0. Great that this is fixed btw !

Hi Getnamo, were you able to push an update for 4.13?

Thanks kindly!
