Some resources that may help when you get to this:

Desktop app + Overlay: https://github.com/pushrax/OpenVR-SpaceCalibrator

Advanced Settings: https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings should be main.cpp and overlaycontroller.cpp is all you are really interested in.

Input Emulator: its a driver + overlay app https://github.com/matzman666/OpenVR-InputEmulator

It's very easy to do this by making a vrmanifest (basically just a json file). Heck, I might just do it right now since the app dev doesn't have to do it themselves.

Here's a vrmanifest for launching on startup. (I had to wrap it in a zip so I can upload it to GitHub.)

Put the .vrmanifest file in the same place where the DiscordVR executable is. Then, open C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config\appconfig.json (or wherever you installed Steam, then config then appconfig.json)

Add a new JSON value and enter in the path to your vrmanifest. Make sure to escape slashes like all the other paths.

Yep I got it working last week, thanks though guys. I'll make a branch with the updates I'm making.
