VR Expansion Plugin

[mordentral]

You

I am very excited to try this but I'm having issues. I am following the 'install' tutorial (both video and text) and keep getting the issue where it is advising me to rebuild manually. I have tried on both 4.23.1 and 4.24.3 on a blank project by placing the downloaded zip into the newly created 'Plugins' folder at the root of the project. Is there anyway around this? I have Visual Studio 2017 installed as well as 2019 - could this be my issue?

need to extract the contents of the zip in there (and should really delete the auto generated folder name), then build the project in visual studio for the Development Editor build target. The engine launcher will not rebuild modules.

mordentral Perfect! Worked like a charm - I guess I was too excited to not follow directions!

Hi!
mordentral There is a free bow project on the internet. https://github.com/Pinworm45/SyntyBowVR/
I would really love to implement it in your project.

I've almost made it, but I'm confused with secondary grip, the arrow spawns but animation and release doesn't work.

How do I just add this plug into an already existing VR file?

I am unsure how they are handling their events, but generally OnSecondaryGripRelease should handle that, unless they are auto firing the arrows.

download the drop the plugin into the projects plugins directory if you want the source.

If you want the example content then you have to migrate it from the example project, which requires a few .ini transfers for it to work as is since it uses a custom trace channel.

You're on top of it. I appreciate you're swiftness. I'll give it a test tomorrow. Thank you!

What is the workflow of migrating the physics grasping hands? Also, how can I grab objects from the distance using the laser beam on the example map? I can't figure it out ^^

The remote grab is in the 4.25 beta branch, as for the grasping hands migration, just migrating their folder should be fine, you'd have to handle spawning them then.

Hey
When i create a new BP with the GripableSkeletalMesh, with the new bp empty i try to compile and it gives a error with invalid data.
If i try it with the gripableStaticMesh class it compiles just fine.

Its an error on my end? Or can anyone replicate it?
Using 4.24 engine on the example template.

sorry for any mistake on the english.

mordentral I packaged the 4.24 example project you can download here https://bitbucket.org/mordentral/vre...ple/downloads/ and got very low FPS about 17 - 20 fps down from 90 fps when you turn on the mirror. I'm guessing because of this bug https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-86191 is there any alternative to using a Scene Capture Component 2D in your project for the mirror or is there just no way to use a mirror in VR until epic fix this bug?

You can set r.SceneRenderTargetResizeMethod 2 to "work around" it, they declared it fixed in 4.25 but I have been hearing some reports that it is re-occuring. If that command doesn't resolve it for you then you aren't setting it in packaged.

So do I use the execute console command BP? Would I set that in the mirror BP or would it be better to set it in the player character BP off an event begin play node? and lastly, would I paste "r.SceneRenderTargetResizeMethod 2" into the execute console command or "r.SceneRenderTargetResizeMethod=2"? Thanks.

You should be able to declare it in your engine.ini under

Did you assign a skeletal mesh? That is a fairly obscure report
