The repo ignores *.mdl, *.wav and the loading backgrounds, so a build from
source had no hands or replacement weapons. The script copies only the
missing, ignored files out of Team Beef's release APK, hash pinned.
The readback used gl4es's glReadPixels, which doesn't know the swapchain's
framebuffers. It uses the driver's now. The dump logs the driver's
framebuffer bindings, viewport and scissor, the share of pixels that
aren't black and the connection state, and vr-state.txt says whether a map
is running. New probe key: clear each eye to a flat colour before the dump,
to tell a broken readback from a broken picture. [vr-perf] shows game=active
once a map is running.
VR_ARCHITECTURE.md has what the first unattended runs found.
The target, the frame protocol as it is in TBXR, a list of the draw
calls that depend on the camera or the screen with the rule each one
uses, the diagnostic keys and a status table. Nothing in it has been
run on the headset yet.
make_frame_tile.py reads the release tile from the git-ignored
assets/background, takes the Quest help off it, draws the Frame's, and
writes it into build/frame-assets. The frame build type's assets override
the release tile with it, a gradle task runs it before mergeFrameAssets.
Quest and Pico builds are untouched. If the tile or Pillow and numpy are
missing, the Frame build goes on with the release tile and a warning.
Right stick up/down no longer toggle the flat screen view or the laser
sight. D-pad left/right are previous/next weapon, up is the last weapon
and down toggles the laser sight. The D-pad crowbar is gone, the crowbar
is the grip behind the head. With the other hand behind the head, the
right stick click is quick save and View is quick load.
The flat screen view is the vr_flat_screen cvar now, with a Flat Screen
View checkbox on the Video options page in the Frame build only. In
multiplayer, View still toggles the scoreboard.
The Frame build rendered the runtime's 1728 square recommendation, but the
panel is 2160 square. The eye image is now the recommended size times
vr_resolution_scale (archived, 1.25 by default, which is 2160), held to what
the view (maxImageRect) and the swapchain allow; the engine's screen size is
set to match before the swapchains are made. The log has the recommended size,
the largest the view and swapchain take, and what was used. The HUD shift
and the rest work from the real width, so they follow.
vr_refresh_rate (archived, default 90, standard section 9) is asked for
with xrRequestDisplayRefreshRateFB: the highest the runtime offers that isn't
over it. The offered list, the request and the result are logged. The
earlier "now: 90 Hz" at a 13.89 ms frame period was a mismatch in what
was read, not asked for; vr_refresh follows the real frame period.
Frame build only. Builds, haven't run it on the headset yet.
The Android container on the Frame shows the headset's Steam folders at the
same paths, read only. At start the app looks for steamapps/common/Half-Life
(valve/liblist.gam) in the Steam library and in the other libraries
libraryfolders.vdf lists, and gives the engine that folder as XASH3D_RODIR.
The engine searches it after the writable folder, so the saves, the
settings and the files this app puts in /sdcard/Documents/Lambda1VR (the
replacement models and sprites) win over Steam's. Nothing is written into the
Steam folder. If there's no Half-Life there, a copy in Documents is used as
before, and a [data] line in the log says which one it was.
Builds. Haven't tried it on the headset yet.
What the runtime said about the eyes on my headset (+-34.5 mm, no
rotation), what's drawn and submitted from that now, where the HUD
sits and how to move it, and what I measured on the eye images.
Unattended on the desk, but it runs: loader, session, first level in both
eyes, clean quit. Also the three Frame fixes (framebuffer attachments,
engine log, refresh rate) and the JavaVM one, which touches Quest too.
How to build it, install it, where the game data goes, what the controls
are, what I changed and why, and what I've checked so far (not much on
the headset side, I haven't tried it there yet).
