Re: Official Oculus Rift GZ3Doom thread
really looking forward to trying the new changes. sounds great!
For anyone that plays this with a rift, you can lower your player speed by typing turbo 65 into the console, sets it to 65% speed which feels great for me.

Re: Official Oculus Rift GZ3Doom thread
I'm having trouble fixing one problem with GZ3Doom. I could use some advice. The player eye-level is at chest-height of the soldiers. I'm pretty sure I should be seeing them eye-to-eye. Plus, in the oculus rift, the floor appears to come up to my knees. So the whole player viewpoint needs to be shifted upward.
Is there a setting for the player view height? Is there a forum for developers where I might be able to get advice on this problem from other programmers?

It can be specified for the player class in DECORATE, but I don't know if there's any non-hack way to do it in the engine code.

You'd probably need to add a new property, such as Player.ViewHeightVR, which defines an alternate viewheight used only for rendering when using a VR device.

Re: Official Oculus Rift GZ3Doom thread
That sounds messy. Wouldn't that create view height inconsistencies between VR and non-VR users?

Re: Official Oculus Rift GZ3Doom thread
The problem here is that the standard viewheight is apparently wrong when using an Oculus Rift, and changing the default viewheight all the time even when not using such a device would also be wrong for hopefully obvious reasons.

There are a couple of videos on youtube showing Brutal Doom on the Rift.Ghoul_RUS wrote:I want to see how it works with Brutal doom!
To avoid some texture glitches when playing Brutal Doom in the Rift, it is important to either disable dynamic lighting, or to set
Options->Display Options->OpenGL Options->Dynamic Light Options->Use Shaders for Lights->YES

Re: Official Oculus Rift GZ3Doom thread
I agree it will be messy; but there is an issue here I would like to be able to address. The Rift makes it more obvious that the player viewpoint is a bit weird. I'm trying to take my time here, and incorporate everyone's advice to find the best solution I can. I'll probably create a console variable that allows users to get whichever behavior they prefer. It will probably be a real tradeoff.Nash wrote:That sounds messy. Wouldn't that create view height inconsistencies between VR and non-VR users?
While investigating this, I decided I should try to place the player view point at the eye height of the multiplayer player avatar. But I discovered that the player avatar (and other enemies) are taller in gzdoom than they are in zdoom. So there is not necessarily a single standard I can rely on.
Can someone name examples of doom engine games where there are player classes with different heights? I probably need to investigate those before adopting a strategy here. Please keep the advice and discussion coming.

Re: Official Oculus Rift GZ3Doom thread
Why not throw in a toggle that adjusts the height of the view point for player preference?

Re: Official Oculus Rift GZ3Doom thread
I've just finished the third episode from Ultimate DooM. Was an amazing trip. Again, thanks.
Also, i want to point one bug, if you pick the enviromental suit, only the right screen from Occulus seems to turn green, not affecting the other "eye".

I don't have an Oculus Rift, but this looks awesome, and you clearly put effort into it.
Nice work, man.
