Misc NeckFx LUA script - VR-Stabilize 0.4

Jordash submitted a new resource:

NeckFx LUA script - VR-Stabilize - VR Focused NeckFX LUA script. Mixes lock to horizon and car lock while smoothing bumps.

If like me you loved RHM but found it performing increasingly more poorly as CSP evolved, then you were likely excited when NeckFX came along... but alas, nothing I tried seemed to work for VR. Lock to Horizon get's us most of the way there, but I always feel a bit odd on elevation changes and banking.

So, with the aid of chatGPT, I made a NeckFX LUA script focused on VR, trying to replicate what I had with RealHeadMotion. It could likely be improved, but for now it does exactly what I've...

How do I use the. Deactivate after Look to Horizont.

Is it then used automatically?

Fixing directory structure.

Sorry about that - the script files should be inside it's own directory.

Jordash updated NeckFx LUA script - VR-Stabilize with a new update entry:

Updated and added some additional math.

Added math to try compensate and better differentiate between fast bumps and elevation changes without the camera lagging behind too much.

Updated default/recommended settings as well as a demo video.

Thanks to @W.Fox for testing out screen use and letting me know about the lag.

i need to try this, i still dont get the difference between lock to horizon or lock to car..., and the youtube comparison video is in 2d not vr, so i cant really see the difference.

Do you know of any way to make VisorFX work in VR? It's the final bit of immersion left to tackle in VR and I'm sure this is in that direction!

This script breaks the hold right mouse button to look around function. Is it possible to fix?

My understanding is that NeckFX takes full control of the camera movement which deactivates Lock to Horizon automatically. No need to turn it off manually.

It should be pretty obvious. Lock to Horizon, the car bounces around the camera and you stay looking straight ahead. Lock to Horizon off (locked to car) means the camera is locked to the cars movement and the car looks still and the track bounces around.

Most noticable on banked tracks like ovals or very steep elevation changes. With lock to horizon the car will rotate up the bank and it feels like you are looking through the window or something.

2d video shows the comparison more easily, too much movement in VR to reliably see differences.

I don't use that. As this was made for driving/racing in VR - so I just look around.

I don't see how you could have a look around function as well - since the script controls the camera movement, it would be another layer of movement control likely to break things.

No idea what visorFX is - but already have a VR headset on. That's the visor already

Jordash updated NeckFx LUA script - VR-Stabilize with a new update entry:

Adding settings.ini and slider adjustment

Adding settings.ini for easier tweaking to your own tastes. Renamed a couple values and added hints/explanations into CSP interface.

Also adjusted my default values slightly after running with it a bit longer.

Hi, I don't have the scrip setting values under CSP (it's empty) why ? Thanks

Same here.... I too am in the same boat! I manually copied the folder and overwritten the old files, and nothing showing up in the script settings. No sliders, just emptiness.

Thanks

What is the issue with RHM?

 

[Jordash]

Jordash updated NeckFx LUA script - VR-Stabilize with a new update entry:

Not just for VR - update for screen users mainly

Adjusted so that glance left/right will work as well as right mouse look around. This has limitations, up/down rotation only works off angle. left/right works as intended.

For those on screen/drifters, added "Slide and Steering" following. This uses most of the logic from the original NeckFX script. Only applies when using screen, default is off.

Mostly fixed in last update. not perfect compared to default, but best i can do.

For me - performance mainly. Stuttering through corners.

I had the same initially. Make sure you are on the most recent Content Manager - from gihub. or via enabling testing versions in CM. Else script sliders don't show.
