Installation

Important note: From my limited testing of other Big Walk mods, one of them seemed to cause massive performance stutters. I don't know if it's an incompatibility with VR or it is just like that, but be aware of performance downgrades using other mods with this. I highly recommend just playing with just the VR mod for an initial playthrough.

1. Install Big Walk VR with Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman.
2. Start SteamVR first.
3. Click Start modded. No launch arguments are required.

With no launch arguments, SteamVR automatically selects VR mode. If SteamVR is closed, the mod stays non-VR while allowing you to see VR players' hand movement. Use -bigwalkvr-vr or -bigwalkvr-non-vr to force either mode.

Note: if you just want your friends to see VR hands, and don't need any other mods, you can have them use my simple Big Walk VR Installer, which installs the mod, keeps it updated, and allows easily launching in VR or non-vr.

Do other players need the mod?

No, you can play with anyone. Only the host matters:
Host has the mod: other modded players see your real VR hands.
Host doesn't: everyone sees your hands approximated with the game's built-in poses.

The mod is not VR-only, flatscreen players can install it to see VR players' hands while still playing normally!

Controls

Right Joystick Click: Recenter
Trigger: Distance grab/interact
