BetterVR 0.9.13
This update fixes the incorrectly centered aim for magnesis and the other runes, plus a few other quality-of-life features that people have asked for.
I've made a technical breakdown on how the magnesis ability uses the GPU to detect whether the pixel you're looking at is part of the magnesis-able item (in this case a chest) here. I personally always like when people write about the inner-workings of games, and this might give you an insight about what goes on when I develop this mod.
About the delay in updates... I really just like to make my updates bigger normally, so that people have something to look forward to whenever they drop. But sometimes stuff also takes a lot longer then I wish to cook, so I just think its better to get this major fix out for the people who are already playing.
Having said that, I did do a lot of good work for the larger features that I'm working on for the bigger 1.0 update.
I'm still undecided on what exactly I want that to be, but I'm trying to make the work I do multi-purpose (changing the arrows direction could prove useful for proper room scale support, just to give you an example of what I mean). But I'll share more on a later date. I think I want to do at least one more minor update until then.
All Fixes:
- Fix magnesis (but also some other runes) requiring you to look off-center while aiming. Now they use the real center of your view.
- Added an option to change the distance and size of the menu.
- Make the "UI Follows Where You Look" option available to the third-person mode.
- For developers: Add debug drawing to visualize in-game hitboxes, raycasts and much more.
- For developers: Make stereo rendering assembly patches able to run without a VR headset for use with graphical debugging tools.
