BZ Version 0.2.0 - 2023-08-28
Setup Guide
Make sure you have BepInEx for Subnautica Below Zero (https://github.com/toebeann/BepInEx.SubnauticaZero/releases/latest/download/BepInEx.zip) installed and setup. If you play with mods on Subnautica Below Zero it should already be installed.
You can also get the latest zip from
https://github.com/toebeann/BepInEx.SubnauticaZero/releases/tag/v5.4.21-payload.1.5.1
or from
https://www.nexusmods.com/subnauticabelowzero/mods/344?tab=files
Also make sure you don't have any other Below Zero VR mods installed, since they aren't compatible.
Download the latest version of the SubmersedVR Below Zero mod from here. It's called SubmersedVR_BZ_0.2.0.zip
Copy the whole contents of the zip file into your SubnauticaZero folder e.g. C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SubnauticaZero
You can find the location of your game in steam by right-clicking it, then -> Properties -> Local Files -> Browse.
When updating, make sure to overwrite all the files when asked by the copy dialog.
Start the game within SteamVR or the Steam Library.
IMPORTANT: For Oculus Rift or Oculus Link/Airlink Users: You have to force the SteamVR runtime by adding -vrmode openvr to the advanced launch options of the Subnautica Below Zero game (See https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/7D01-D2DD-D75E-2955). Please make sure you did that before launching the game. (Virtual Desktop should work just fine as is)
New Features/Fixes
Textures and animations now display correctly. (Thanks ihatetn931!)
Tool grip angles have been updated.
Full body support added under VR options.
Credit/Thanks
This is of course Okabintaro's SubmersedVR mod to which a bit of additional code specific to BZ has been added. All credit goes to him. Thanks also to MrPurple6411 for his GlobalGameManagerVRPatcher which adds VR back into the game (https://github.com/elliotttate/Bepinex-Tools/tree/main/GlobalGameManagerVRPatcher) and the guys at https://www.nexusmods.com/subnauticabelowzero/mods/118 for inspiration and code snippets.
