THERE IS ANOTHER SPACE ENGINEERS VR MOD CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT THAT IS MUCH FARTHER ALONG THAN THIS, SO I WILL BE CEASING WORK ON THIS. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR IT THOUGH! ;)
This VR Mod is an early Wip. You probably shouldn't but might have some crashes (If you do I'd love it if you created an issue using the tabs above, attaching your log file!) but more importantly things will be jank and not all features are in yet. Things will improve with time however!
This is a full vr mod for Space Engineers, it features:
- Full 6 DOF
- Motion controls for weapons/tools and placing blocks
- Multiplayer (Needs more testing)
First you'll need to subscribe to the (Space Engineers Plugin Loader)[https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2407984968] on the steam workshop.
Once that's done make sure you add -plugin "..\..\..\workshop\content\244850\2407984968\RunPluginLoader" to your Space Engineers launch options in steam by right clicking the game in your library->properties->paste that into the launch options.
Now launch the game, you should see a plugins button in the menu, if not retrace your steps.
Click plugins and in the menu search for Space-Engineers-VR then hit the checkbox to enable it and when prmopted, restart Space Engineers.
Now connect your headset, launch SteamVR now or let the game do it for you, pick a world and load into it. Have fun!
I only have a Quest 2 so I can only ship default bindings for the Quest 2. Any other headsets you'll have to make your own bindings. Thankfully SteamInput makes this easy!
