Natural Locomotion

Natural Locomotion

How do you run NaLo + Feet with Vivecraft 1.16.X?
I've opened Natural Locomotion and synced my Nintendo Switch controllers using Bluetooth. I've gone to the Vivecraft 1.16.X profile in Natural Locomotion and I calibrated the joycons, they seem to be hooked up fine! Down in the bottom left, I can see it registers my steps when I move my feet up and down.

But when I go into Vivecraft, I try to walk, and it doesn't work. I can move through typical Vivecraft settings like teleport, but can't seem to move around using my feet. Are there some settings I'm missing, perhaps? I tried to follow all the instructions in the green box on the right in NaLo, but I'm not sure which of those settings actually enables it.

I didn't press "Run Game" because the instructions say to run the game manually.

(I'm using an HTC Vive headset and controllers.)

Is there something I'm missing...?

When I first played this years ago, the settings were much more different. I recall teleport was enabled by default, but default could be different in the latest release. I have these settings in Minecraft enabled and that has NaLo working for arm-swinging.

I think Force Free Move enables sliding locomotion which both arm-swining and NaLo+Feet use, so make sure that's on. Also helps to make sure the key bindings and Steam VR bindings are on the default profile, as nothing needed to be changed there.

Can you also check if NaLo+Feet works in another game, maybe the demo to COMPOUND? I'm hoping you just have an issue with Minecraft settings and not NaLo...

Thank you!! I think the problem was that for some reason I wasn't able to edit bindings in Steam VR. I finally got that up and working, and enabled trackpad locomotion, which fixed the main problem, but...

... now a new problem has arisen. For some reason, while I'm still walking in place, I stop moving in-game at random (yet frequent) intervals - for a number of seconds - before it allows me to move again. At first I thought this was due to the Nintendo Switch controllers not being the most accurate mode of foot-based locomotion, but when I check NaLo, it looks like the Switch controllers are very consistent with my movement, and they never stop registering while I'm walking. They work well.

I decided to use the "test controller" in Steam VR to see what was going on. When I start walking and I'm paying attention to the trackpad in the test window, I notice it just cuts off randomly. In other words, I'll be walking in place for a few seconds, and it matches the blue dot on the touchpad in the test-window just fine for a while, but then suddenly that blue dot disappears for a few seconds. And it reappears again at some point. HOWEVER, in NaLo, my steps are still being counted during that "silent period", and the Switch Controllers are still registering in NaLo just fine.

I don't know if this is lag, or if it's NaLo's connection with Steam VR, or what... I'm not entirely sure how to figure that out. Do you have any recommendations?
