Before Your Frames v0.8.0

New

  • One-line install on PC, no Rai Pal needed. pc_install.ps1 (attached to this release) is the PC twin of the Steam Frame script. It finds the game in your Steam libraries, downloads BepInEx 5, UUVR 0.3.1 and this mod from their GitHub releases, checks them against known checksums, puts them in the game folder and sets UUVR's UI Patch Mode = CanvasRedirect. Run it in PowerShell:

    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://github.com/davidciglesias/before-your-frames/releases/latest/download/pc_install.ps1))) -Firewall"
    

    -Firewall lets the game receive eye data from the headset (UDP 9000 and 8888, private networks; Windows asks for admin rights once). -GameFolder "<path>" if the game isn't found, -Uninstall to remove everything again. If Rai Pal already manages the game, the script just adds this mod to Rai Pal's BepInEx folder. Run it again to update; your settings are kept.

  • Blinks only (head aiming), a comfort option. Keep your real blinks, but aim, and pick menu options, with your head instead of your eyes. In vr settings, the eye tracking row now cycles eyes → blinks only (head aim) → off (head aim). In the config file it's Gaze Aiming = false.

Changed

  • The aiming dot is its own choice in head-aim modes. In blinks only and eye tracking off, the dot follows your aiming dot setting (F10, trigger), so you can aim with your head without it. It's only forced on when you aim with your eyes and eye data stops arriving.

Install

Update

  • PC (streamed): run the pc_install.ps1 command above again. It works for Rai Pal setups too (it only replaces the mod in Rai Pal's folder). Or, as before, extract BYEFrameBlink.zip into BepInEx\plugins\BYEFrameBlink\, overwriting the old files. Your config is kept either way.
  • Steam Frame (standalone): run sh frame_install.sh again in Konsole (download it from this release if needed). It updates the mod and keeps your settings.

Known issues

  • Standalone: SteamVR's menu opens once at launch, listing the game as "wine-preloader". Press Resume Game.
  • In some scenes the game's own camera is tilted down a little, and the VR view inherits that tilt. Looking into it for 0.9.0.
  • Babble and VRCFaceTracking haven't been tested with real hardware yet, only with simulated data.
