Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Smooth turn can be nausea inducing in VR, and I far as I know it is the only option available to turn.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to have an option to select between snap turn and smooth turn. I already started to look at the codebase, and that doesn't look like a big change to implement, so I'll try to do it once I'll have the compilation setup configured. I just post this feature request to have some feedback, and to ask you if it's not already an option that I've just missed :)

I'm kinda fighting with the build environnement. As there is no doc about it, it is really tedious to setup. It is required to have an external installation of OpenVR ? I have an error with it, and in contrary to dependencies like Zmusic or bzip2, it doesn't seems to be within the repository. Having the info about what compiler do you use could at least give some idea about what may be a supported toolkit or not.

I'm kinda fighting with the build environnement.

i was in the same boat. here is what it did (windows 10):

prerequisites:

steps:

  1. launch cmake
  2. set Where is the source code to gzdoomvr source
  3. set Where to build the binaries to an empty directory.
  4. press Configure at the bottom left, set generator to installed Visual Studio Version and click Finish and let CMake do it's thing.
  5. a list of (red) variables should appear. set OPENVR_SDK_PATH to the OpenVR source. also you might want to change ZDOOM_EXE_NAME to gzdoomvr.
  6. click Generate and let CMake do it's thing. no variables should be red anymore.
  7. close cMake
  8. navigate to the selected build-directory and open GZDoom.sln in Visual Studio.
  9. select Build ALL_BUILD in Build-menu. this should build gzdoom inside the Debug (or Release - if your build target is Release) subfolder of your build folder.
  10. Copy the files zmusic.dll and openvr_api.dll from a current gzdoomvr release inside this folder (dunno how to get these to build with the rest).

that should do the trick.

Thanks @codeflorist ! In the end once I used Visual studio (I started with Mingw, not a bright idea... ) it got far easier. I just got some trouble mainly with precompiled headers which wouldn't want to generate, but after a bit a tinkering I got it working. I think I have ninja as a generator, maybe setting it to visual studio as you say would have avoid me that problem!

Anyway the feature is almost done, I just need to fix a weird issue: when I try to turn an amount of degree, it turns almost the right amount but not quite. So if you make a full turn (4 time 90°), in the end you're not perfectly aligned with your starting position, which can be a bit disorienting.

PS: I think your comment is very usefull, and would deserve its place in the Readme. Maybe I'll add those instructions later in a pull request, but feel free to do it first if you want :)

yeah, i do have that planned, in addition to reworking/improving the mods-section.

86 This has now been implemented for a while and is waiting for a merge

havetc commented 10 months ago

UP, if someone with write access could kindly have a look at #86 , I implemented Snap turn a while ago and it should be quite straightforward to test it and validate it, and I'd be happy to add any modification if required :)

Hi, can I tur on snapturn somewhere on menu in gzdoomvr? I'm normal user, not programmer :)

havetc commented 10 months ago

Hi @Maacciieejj , not yet the feature has been implemented but is waiting for approval/merge. At the moment you won't find it in the release you can download here.

Maacciieejj commented 10 months ago

Do you know approximately when this will be? Because I want to play with my brother from snaptyrning so he won't get discouraged :) GZdoomvr has the option to play online just like regular gzdoom?
