The App name has been changed to “FirestormVR” and the Program Files and AppData directories changed so the installation can exist side-by-side with stock Firestorm if desired. The cmake scripts are also amended to auto-include openvr.dll. Since they are independent it’s just a matter of explaining to git they are unrelated and can exist in any order. Some of the code for performance metrics wants to be just ahead of rendering, which is where the VR Mod inject points also wanted to be. VR Controller support is not included.ĭownload the release installer (for Windows only) from the “Assets” list at the bottom of the entry for the latest version available at įirestorm VR Mod is created using “GitHub Actions” (GHA) thanks to and Minor manual changes are made for the VR Mod 6.3.3 code for the merge, which otherwise continues to be suitable. The VR Mod approach takes a minimalistic approach to inserting VR capabilities into the viewer in order that the maintenance overhead is decreased and the potential longevity of the approach is increased. ![]() P373R-WORKSHOP by p373r_kappler Table of Contentsįirestorm 6.6.3 + P373R VR Mod: This build includes P373R’s VR Mod 6.3.3 changes merged into the Firestorm 6.0 release branch. ![]() Firestorm VR Mod is now available from (Assets)įor Firestorm VR Mod community support use the Discord Discussion Channel: In other plans, Firestorm will soon also offer more skins and skin customization improvements, new Windlight effects, improved functionality to estate tools, improved mouselook functionality, and more features, Lyon wrote.Firestorm VR Mod 6.0 is an update to version 6.6.3.įirestorm VR Mod is a version of the popular Firestorm Viewer for Second Life and OpenSimulator with modifications to provide VR capabilities for VR Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) via SteamVR. Viewers optimized to work with OpenSim allow for this variation, and remove the “Second Life” branding from throughout the viewer. Most grids do not charge for texture uploads. ![]() OpenSim grids also have different search functionality than Second Life, different currencies, and differently stored profiles. For example, it allows bigger prims, and more prims on each region. OpenSim also differs from Second Life in some technical areas. The process isn’t as obvious and straightforward as with other viewers, however. ![]() Users have to go to preferences, to the advance menu, and check “Allow login to other grids.” The list of grids is limited, though you can add more by pasting the loginuri into the grid name field. Imprudence, Teapot, Zen, Hippo, and other viewers designed for use with OpenSim, however, have built-in grid selectors that allow users to easily choose a grid from a list of popular worlds, or add their own.Ĭurrently, Firestorm offers only limited grid selection capability, and it can be hard to find. Lyon added that Armin Weatherwax, a developer best known for work on the Impudence and Teapot viewers, has joined the team.Ĭurrently, any Second Life viewer can be used to access OpenSim grids by editing the path of the viewer shortcut on the desktop. This isn’t something an average user should be asked to do, however. “One for Second Life with pathfinding Havok goodness, and one for other grids without Havok.” “We’ve thought about that and decided we’re going to offer two versions of Firestorm,” wrote lead developer Jessica Lyon. However, licensing issues have forced Linden Lab to restrict third-party users to just Second Life, or risk losing access to new pathfinding technology from Havok.
