Four interactions that all needed the same thing: the hands' positions and
velocities on the other side of the game module boundary. They share the
plumbing, so they share a commit.
use moves to B on the weapon hand, where the reference puts activate. The
objectives list keeps the left hand's button; it had been bound to both, which
was a button spent twice on one rarely opened screen. The trace also starts from
the head's real position now rather than the body's notional eye - the two come
apart exactly when leaning through a doorway to reach the thing on the far side.
Weapons live on the body, the way Half-Life: Alyx does it: pistol at the right
hip, grenades at the left, rifle and smg over the shoulders. Reaching back to
where a weapon came from puts it away, reaching anywhere else swaps - holstering
on any zone would have cost two gestures for every swap. Zones are measured from
the head and rotated by the head's heading, so they stay on the body rather than
wandering as the player turns.
Ladders are climbed by pulling on them. MOHAA moves a climbing player by the
root motion of the climb animation, with pmove skipped entirely, so this runs
after the animation rather than instead of it: the animation still plays and the
distance travelled is the distance the hand pulled. Both grips, averaged when
both are held, and the grips stop meaning reload and rifle-steady while on a
ladder.
Grenades leave along the arm. Which instant of a swing to read is the whole
problem and took several passes: averaging across the release blends the wind up
with the follow through; the peak of the whole swing is usually the *backswing*,
which threw grenades over the player's shoulder. What works is the natural
gesture's own shape - take the direction the hand had as it let go, then find
the fastest sample that agrees with it, which excludes the wind up by
construction. Strength is a fraction of the game's own throw so all of MOHAA's
grenade tuning survives.
The sideways damping is the one deliberate lie. An underhand swing crosses the
body, so the hand really is moving sideways at release - measured, lobs drifted
left by up to 0.73, more sideways than forward. Damped in proportion to how
gentle the throw is, so hard throws keep their true direction.
A weapon wheel is included and is not finished: its input works and a tap of the
same stick holsters, but the ring never appeared on screen and the drawing was
not chased down. It is harmless - a hold selects nothing and does nothing.

Two problems the first device run found, one hiding the other.
GLimp_SetMode's fixedFunction branch offers exactly one context: desktop OpenGL
1.1. There is no such thing on Android, so window creation failed three times
over and R_Init gave up with "Couldn't get a visual". renderergl2 never met this
because it takes the other branch, which already knows how to ask for ES.
gl4es is what makes the request answerable, and it wants the opposite of what
the renderer believes it is getting: desktop GL 1.x presented upwards, OpenGL ES
underneath. So the fixed function branch now asks for ES 3.0 and then ES 2.0,
and the renderer is never told - it reads its version through gl4es, which
reports desktop GL, and takes the desktop fixed function path on the strength of
it.
That got the renderer up, and revealed the second problem: the OpenXR session
found no current EGL context. Which is where gl4es having its own opinion about
glGetString stops being convenient. The engine's proof that a context is live is
GL_VERSION coming back non-NULL, and gl4es answers VERSION, VENDOR and RENDERER
out of constants without asking the driver - so a context that was created but
never bound passes that test and is only noticed much later, somewhere else
entirely. GLimp_SetMode now asks SDL directly whether the context it just made
is current, restoring the check gl4es defeated.
The session no longer assumes one is bound either. Being current is per thread,
and a window that has not been shown yet has no surface to be current against,
so VR_CreateSession asks for the binding through GLimp_MakeCurrent rather than
requiring it to already be there, and reports the EGL handles when it cannot get
one.

The game now knows where the player is looking. Until now head tracking
only moved the camera the renderer drew from, so anything consulting the
player's view angles - objectives that ask them to look at something, aim,
hit detection - never saw it. CL_VRMove writes the head's heading and
pitch into cl.viewangles, which is what all of that reads.
Walking follows the off hand rather than the gaze, after the approach in
Team Beef's RTCWQuest. Tying travel to where the player is looking means
they cannot glance sideways without veering, which is what makes room
scale movement feel like being dragged; steering with the free hand lets
them look around and still walk a straight line. cl_vrWalkWithView
restores gaze-directed movement.
Turning snaps by default. A stick that rotates the world smoothly while
the inner ear insists otherwise is the usual way to make people ill, and
one flick gives one step rather than one per frame.
cl_vrSnapAngle 45 degrees per flick
cl_vrSmoothTurn 0 1 for smooth turning instead
cl_vrTurnSpeed 90 degrees/second when smooth
cl_vrDeadzone 0.2
cl_vrWalkWithView 0 1 to walk where the player looks
All archived, so they are tunable on the headset rather than at build
time, which is what section 5 of the porting plan asks for.
Thumbsticks are bound on the Touch profile only: the simple controller
has none, and offering a binding a runtime does not recognise makes it
reject the whole set, which would cost the fallback its pointer too.
The dominant hand's aim angles are carried through vrInput_t but not yet
used. Aim is still on the head, which section 5 is right to call wrong
for a shooter - that belongs with weapon handling, and looking at things
had to work first.

In windowed mode, the mouse is no longer grabbed when one of the UI/console catcher is active. When a UI menu is active, the system's hardware cursor is shown, using the game's custom cursor texture, instead of simulating and rendering the cursor in-game.
* Add exports to load a raw image from the renderer
* Set the hardware cursor to the game's custom mouse cursor texture
* When mouse is not grabbed, the mouse gets updated with absolute mouse position, relative to the window position
20 is the bare minimum for players, any value below makes movements look jittery on a 20 fps server. 30 is the optimal value based on network variation and fps variations
