So excited to try this I have been both in the VR game and the 7 days to die game since the start and I have wanted this for years. Thank you guys!!!

[Suzuki Love]

Well after just 15 minutes in VR I am in love with the mod. Its even better than I dreamed of. There is still some things it certainly needs and you mention adding in the future but damn is it fun the way it is. I just have to figure out why its very laggy for me.

I am going to go and donate for sure though would love to help you guys develop anyway I can!

We need a top down RTS mode next. LOL.

Thanks, Suzuki!!! As one of the two devs, this makes me so happy to hear! Yep, we still have a LOT of work to go, but I really love that you're enjoying the mod!! <3

I think it should be 7 Days of Wonder.

On topic, going to try this out. Looking forward to finding the impossible bugs. (Better not be a Starship Troopers crossover.)

Sorry but I think next would have to come 7 Days to ZombieKart (right Hellion!). foundation is already there for 4x4 death races... just need to make the weapons work while driving!

[Kai]

It's Unity, and there are ways to get a RTS 'commander mode' working where you have a top down camera to control AI units...

Maybe do it like 'zombie master' mod for half life 2 does it and make a PVP mode where a player controls the horde?

Otherwise it's scripting AI bandit NPCs to be in form of 'survivor' NPCs that a player can command in a multiplayer server maybe... 'Move to this location' or 'Hold position' or 'Attack this target' sort of thing.

But yeah VR is a bigger goal and challenge to meet in a way since you are binding a FPS game control format into a VR platform.

Update to A1.1 along with the release of A21 stable of the core game!

Hey VR Survivors!
We have Mod version 1.1 to go along with Alpha 21 Stable for you.
A1.1 has some additions, changes, and fixes that we hope make the gameplay experience better for everybody!

If you haven’t been back to the forums since initial release, please check out the #Performance_Tweaks thread of the support section for a lot of great tips from the community on getting the most performance possible from the game and your system. (https://discord.com/channels/747967102895390741/1121586164726497420)

Will NOT over-write your saved settings OR stored custom item rotations.

Here is what changed since A1.0:

Added
• Most screen effects like hot, cold, drunk, REALLY drunk, dying, dead, night vision.
• Grayscale screen effect to indicate low stamina.
• Items that need repair now appear translucent to let you know they're broken.
• In game VR config options for the new effects.
• Polish localization/translations (thanks Kondiq!)


Changed
• Major update to collision detection. Physical melee is now MUCH more accurate.
• WMR Gen 1: Updated default controller dead zone to 15% to stop automatic walking.
• Minor updates to Mixed Mode UI to reduce menu portions appearing on arm UI and allow you to see things while wearing puffy coats.

Fixed
• Guns not being able to shoot through the UI...whoops!
• Melee animations getting "stuck" and causing double hits / zero hits.
• Pimax (and other canted-lens headsets): Fixed 180-degree turn Unity issue.
• Decimal point error that caused the amount we siphoned from your bank accounts to be dollars instead of fractions of pennies. (mundane details…)

As always this mod is completely free. If you like what we are doing and want to contribute:

A1.2 Release Write-up
Here is what changed since A1.1:
Added
Major visual improvements!!! Most graphics options and post processing now work properly! W00T!!!
This will add a lot of previously disabled effects. You may need to readjust your options to find the right balance for performance to quality.
We have disabled Dynamic Resolution, which is not compatible with VR and causes MAJOR visual problems!
Please be sure to disable Temporal Anti-Aliasing, Reflection Quality, Reflected Shadows, and SS Reflections. None of these work in VR and break other things (Temporal AA, for example, breaks the beautiful sun shafts!)
Physical crouch (sneak)!!!
There is now an option to turn this on/off (with adjustable crouch threshold).
Crouching/Sneaking via controller now makes your character model crouch appropriately.
Ability to resize or remove aiming crosshair/cursor.
Optional SteamVR Controller Bindings added:
Action Hotkeys (e.g., ‘A’ to Repair, ‘S’ to Scrap, ‘W’ to Sell, etc.)
Toggle Keyboard

Changed
Haptic Feedback!!!! You can now feel every bonk! Haptic feedback works for physical melee as well as for gunfire (every shot!). Let those M60’s rip!!!
Scaled In-game “Object Quality” in the 7 Days Video menu. This setting controls how far away detailed objects appear, like corn in the cornfield. We scaled the values to feel better in VR so things aren’t popping into existence 10 ft (3.048 m 😄) in front of you on higher settings.

Fixed
The JitterBug® is DEAD!
In previous versions of this mod, framerate much above 50 experienced very jittery movement. Enjoy your new smooth moves!
Resolution UI bug is ***partially*** fixed. You can now set the 7 Days resolution to any resolution that matches the aspect ratio of your monitor. This no longer causes the UI to not work properly.
This has been tested primarily with 16:9 resolutions, so it’s tough to say if it works for every aspect ratio.
Please continue to keep “Fullscreen = ON” on the 7 Days Video options.
Resolutions that do not match your monitor’s aspect ratio WILL still cause UI problems.

how ingenious, also what a way to open the game on another platform (VR); i yearn for your future riches, success, and future endeavors.

[=HELLION=]

Thanks. We hope it gives old players a new way to bring back the new game creepiness and caution that many of us have lost as well as bringing in new players to join us
