SPT-VR (Single Player Tarkov VR Mod)

Important: There has been some adjustments to controls, check the controls on the main page of the mod or read through this changelog

I have spent an insane amount of time trying to improve the overall experience in SPT-VR and this is the result of that hard work. This is probably the biggest polish pass that this mod has had so far. I’ve pretty much tried to improve on everything across the board specifically arm IK and gun handling. But there are just loads of other things check the changes below.

NOTE: Left handed mode unfortunately won’t be able to see all of these IK improvements. I’m going to have to fine tune specifically shoulder placement for left handed. If you are left handed, I would recommend restarting your game after enabling left handed mode. Also if you are having trouble using left click in left handed mode, edit your steamvr bindings and remove the “start” binding from long press X/A on left controller. Unfortunately, this seems like a default binding from SteamVR.

Update Changelog:

• New way to control tactical devices, this change was needed because the old way doesn’t sync with other Fika players and also bots didn’t detect flashlights/lasers - New build you will control tactical device by holding left grip and tapping B to turn on/off and hold B for 0.3 seconds to toggle to next. Highlight tactical device functionality has been completely disabled
• Menu laser pointer will now stay visible for most of the time on raid load screen
• Opening inventory/UI will now force your left hand to disconnect from your gun if you were two handing it. This results in improved IK consistency and less jank
• FPS independent rotating when using smooth turn. Before, when rotating with your thumbstick, the turning would feel more choppy depending on how low your FPS was
• Completely disabled weapon tilting when rotating/strafing
• Completely disabled the animation that happens when ADSing resulting in significantly less jitter
• Improved the ADS input trigger to avoid ADS spamming when looking at the gun at certain angles, even less jitters for ADS yay!
• Fixed the issue where guns without stocks and some pistols would shift forward when ADSing
• Adjusted scopes.json file, a lot easier to understand and just much cleaner to look at
• Fixed the arm IK when rotating your wrist, no more twisted forearm
• Improved IK to make it feel more natural and less static, when you twist your wrists inwards, your elbow will move outwards
• Adjusted the extract timer menu on your wrist to be more consistent
• Adjusted the raycast used to interact with containers, doors, loose loot, and the wrist menu’s. The raycast now has a wider radius making it much easier to get the context menu’s to come up, this is a huge help for those really small items like keys or small ammo boxes
• Added backpack quick drop, when you’re not holding loose loot and put your hand into the backpack collider then press trigger, backpack will release
• Added toggle for head lamp, works same way as toggling night vision except you press trigger rather than grip to toggle it
• UBGL dedicated toggle, while holding the gun with your second hand, hold left trigger and press A
• Changed how main sight is determined, now whenever you have a scope attached it will always use the scope as the default sight. This makes a lot more attachment configurations work, example is a optic scope with ring mounts that have rails on them, if you put a reflex on it, it won’t disable the scope camera anymore
• BTR menu fixed and is now usable
• Epics AIO modded scopes partial support
• Gun jitter fixed on uneven surfaces like rubble and slopes
• Moved shoulders, they are placed much better now in relation to your head
• Overall IK improvements
• Item wheel can now be accessed using the same collider as your backpack, reach back and press grip
• There’s now a cooldown system with inputs to avoid double triggering collider inputs, this fixes a busy hands bug that happens when too many actions happen too close to each other
• Fixed placement of extract, transit, and placing item UI to be more out in front of you and easy to see
• Adjusted size of right click menu to be easier to select options
• Fika main menu online players screen fixed
• Fika send item UI fixed

Updates:

• Updated to SPT 4.0.x
• Added support for EFTToggle (new function for toggling buttons)
• EFTToggle support fixes stash sort table and search functions
• Removed EFT’s “ram cleaner” from running when opening inventory (this was not a proper usage of this)

No other significant changes from previous 3.11 build. I did make some adjustments a while ago during early testing builds of 4.0, mainly fixes to improve gun jitter when standing on the edge of a curb or on slanted surfaces.

I’ve setup a ko-fi, I’ve held off from doing this for a while because I didn’t feel like I’ve done enough to accept any donations, at this point though I’ve been working on this day and night and have made some pretty significant changes so if anyone wants to send some support it’s greatly appreciated https://ko-fi.com/matsix

Highly recommend installing my other mod - VRAM Cleaner

Big Update:

• Grenade fix, no more issues with your hand getting stuck when pulling out a grenade, and your hand will always be placed in the correct spot

• Right click context menu and inspect window will not open in front of or behind the inventory anymore if you’re looking too far up/down when opening inventory

• Inspect window will not open way out of view anymore if it’s opened while prone

• Partial fix for stash while in hideout, items should be visible, but it’ll only work if you’re facing somewhat forward in your playspace, if you physically turn 90+ degrees items will disappear (visually not actually)

• Trader, flea market, messages, etc. menu positions fixed while in hideout

• Fixed null that would occasionally happen when entering hideout causing controls to stop working

• Slight change the cloud density scaling, it was getting too cloudy a bit too quickly and the sun was still casting shadows which means it wasn’t scaling to tarkov’s clouds correctly, should be a bit better now

• Fixed an issue with physically picking up items that would cause a null and make the item get stuck in your hand

• Shouldn’t run into any issues with not being able to physically pick up items anymore

• It’s now setup where if you’re currently holding an item, you won’t have the context menu show up to loot an item you’re looking at. This is to avoid you picking up the item in your hand with context menu which causes nulls

• Added FXAA built directly into the render pipeline, doesn’t completely get rid of the noisiness or aliasing but definitely helps smooth out some edges

• Jitter fixed when standing on a slope, no more needing to find stable footing while aiming! This is big, it probably happened in a lot more places than you think, if you stood even on the edge of a curb or anything that changed your elevation, your gun would jitter like crazy. It was almost impossible to aim while standing on stairs

• You can now yeet loose loot that you pick up in the world! (not fika synced)

• You can now… yeet grenades. Like it’s actually proper. You can toss a grenade, drop a grenade, lob it through a window, underhand it, it just works™ (Is fika synced)

• Fixed left arm IK when using grenades/melee

• Realized ram cleaner was being totally bypassed in SPTVR, it now works the same way it does in base tarkov when the setting is enabled. Opening inventory will clean RAM

• Other code optimizations here and there, such as getcomponent and camera.main not being called every frame anywhere anymore (there may still be some spots I didn’t notice due to it not being obvious this will be a continued effort to improve performance in sptvr)

• Reduced VRAM usage in the main rendering logic

Thanks Gbtonzee for updating the scopes.config file, it now should include scopes that were missing and some modded scopes (modded scopes zooming won’t work properly unless they’re setup the same exact way BSG sets up scopes)

Updates:

• Small hotfix to fix gun interaction context menu’s not showing for some guns such as the g36

This is genuinely a huge help for SPTVR

Note: I’ll be taking a break from working on this for a bit, the next update will be 1.1.0 and will be for SPT 4.0 when that releases. Won’t be a long break, just need to take some time as I’ve been working on this every day since I started. I’ll likely start working on it before SPT 4.0 is even released, hopefully will have it updated in time for the official 4.0 release Already done.

1.0.9.2 Hotfix:

• Completely re-did gun interaction context menu’s, it’s still all automated to keep compatibility with modded guns but it’s done a lot cleaner now, no more multiple parts handling the same function and is a lot easier to update/add new part names if any guns need fixing
• Added a new movement option, there’s now going to be head-based movement, wand-based movement, and joystick only movement. The joystick only movement option will make it so you can look left/right while moving without turning your body, you’ll only turn when using the right joystick, aiming, or after an angle threshold
• Added some more functionality to the head to leg sync. No more jitter when you’re leaning to the point where legs start catching up, they will now move smoothly in the direction of your head once you lean a certain amount
• More head to leg sync changes - your legs will now consistently stay with your arms/head, your legs will no longer heavily lag behind
• When looking down, your legs will only rotate if you turn your head a certain amount (unless aiming) and when it does start moving the turning will be smoothed, not instant. This makes it much easier to reach for the quickslot if you’re looking down
• Head pitch has been added so your character model will now also look up and down when playing with others in fika (It feels a bit odd at first but you get used to it quick, some might not even notice the difference, I might add an option to enable/disable it if people don’t like it)

The Return of Clouds! Also modded gun compatibility!

• Highlight bug fix (this was when you’d do the gun interact where it highlights your guns, sometimes multiple highlights would get stuck on your screen)
• Fully custom dynamic cloud system tied to Tarkov’s weather system, these are VR compatible clouds that I imported into Tarkov. Totally separate from BSG’s clouds. They will change color with time of day, increase/decrease density based on weather, their speed will increase/decrease based on wind, and rain will make them darker
• Scopes load from json file now in bepinex/plugins/sptvr/configs - can now add modded scopes without needing to rebuild the whole project.
• Weapons no longer rely on being added one by one, they are now automatically detected and highlight weapon interaction will work on any gun (this allows for better modded gun compatibility, I can’t guarantee it’ll work for all modded guns though)
• Added a new vertical hand position offset slider, it’ll move your hand up/down. It’s bottom slider in the VR settings menu.

Important - Make sure you copy all of the files over from the .zip, not just the .dll otherwise you will not get the clouds. You can also just make sure to copy the customclouds file from the assets folder into your sptvr assets folder.
