UEVR Mod: An Idiots Guide // From FLAT to VR with 6DOF Motion Controls (It's EASY!)
ฝัง

- How EASY is it to use the UEVR mod? If you want to add 6DOF motion controls to a flat first person shooter it's actually SURPRISINGLY EASY! In this UEVR setup / UEVR guide video I'll show you just how simple it is to add 6DOF motion controls into a Unreal Engine 4 or 5 game with the UEVR mod and once you've learned the basics in this video you should be able to apply it to almost any game! Now it's not a perfect science, some games will be harder than others and SOME games simply won't work at all, but if you follow this UEVR guide you shouldn't go far wrong when it comes to modding profiles for you own games and experiences. This really is unlocking THOUSANDS of NEW VR GAMES for it's users and we're barely a week into it's release...
Get started with the UEVR mod here: docs.google.co...
Read as many guides, pieces of documentation and info drops as you can, the more you put into this mod, the more you'll get out of it!
For me the UEVR mod is exciting not because of what it can do for us now, which is provide amazing VR experiences for our favourite flat games, but rather what it will do in the future... Praydogs UE VR mod could be the spark that starts an explosion of VR modding, when used as a foundation or jumping off point modders the world over could build out some incredible VR experiences with UEVR as the first building block. Right now it's seriously impressive, in a few years it could be mind blowing!!!

it is safe to say praydog is going to have a very successful career. every developer who uses UR engine should be bidding on his talents. he deserves every succsess he is a genius.
He just revived repurchase, he did a Steve Jobs worth this one.
Atm I'm looking how miserable is human being, this mod I think has been downloaded hundreds thousand of times and his patreon is still stucked at 500 members... Ridicolous..
@@jshodan84 I hope next itteration/release will be paid. And I will buy it.
@@pistopit7142 don't think he can actively ask money for an UE mod. That's why people should think about support right now!
@@pistopit7142 lol it won't be paid that is the difference between PrayDog and all these "VR" modders + you get to feel what real VR feels like!! Unlike these LukeRoss / VorpX that make it pay 2 vr... And this is why PrayDog will succeed way more than these 2 combined, totally deserves
once upon a time, when I just entered the world of VR games and faced the fact that there were almost no good games, I still remember thinking that someday there would come a time that you could play almost any VR game!) Well, what can I say - the future has come!)
Welcome to the future buddy
Pretty good one again! Now we have enable pawn rotation toggles, first person games it isn’t imperative to attach the camera anymore. Will also break some cutscenes but most times you won’t notice the difference.
Getting meshes straight from the pawns’ components works but inherits all the animations from the arms. So can feel floaty. This is what we started doing early on. Don’t recommend this at all unless you have a game like WH40k boltgun where attaching to the first person render pane won’t ever have complex animations tied to them from physical meshes.
In my tutorial I recommend to use a “property” of the pawns. Find them below the components. Always read all of these first before starting. Good ones tend to be very obvious.
In trepang2 there is an equipped weapon property, which has its own components like the pawn, within you’ll find a gun mesh. This is normally a better solution as they don’t inherit the animations of the whole body. It also helps propagate to every weapon you pick up. Which is why the shotgun felt off to you.
Still a great video and very easy to follow. People will hopefully eventually find the information about properties eventually 😅
The profile which attaches to the equipped property is what is saved in the drive right now. Following these basics, but really trying to attach to a property (the children property last resort if you don’t find a good one though). The new build has a detach key shortcut for cutscenes to briefly disable that (1.02)
EDIT: made a video specifically to respond to this that discusses the importance of Properties
Amazing! Thank you so much for all your work in the PrayDog UEVR team! You guys have really made something legendary. "Moves the needle" would be a total understatement!
You da man
how is the release reception going? i personally dont think il ever use this mod, im not into tinkering, and from what i hear even the pre made profiles arent working too well, il just stick to naive vr games i guess
Gone well! Really excited at seeing how the community has thrived and hit the ground running, considering this all took me months to master last year. Bright things for 2024 and beyond!@@mirshia5248
@@mirshia5248please don’t be a party pooper. I can understand that you won’t use it. But can you enjoy the huge step forward that this is providing to vr? Imagine if valve buys this mod and implement it on steam, like they have done already with others things in the past. And even if that does not happen, or if you are not a believer, pls let us have our joy lol
Thanks for the great content especially Flat to 2D. Hoping these UE4 games get optimized for VR: Outer Worlds, Days Gone, Borderlands 3, Terminator Resistance, Tiny Tina's W.. I wanted an RPG Open World and recent upgraded reviews on Steam lead me to the 'furry WItcher 3' and I bought BioMutant!
no one replyed to you but me :P
I'm developing a UE5 game called 'SPACE WALK' and after this video i've purchased a quest 3, can't wait to play with this! Thanks for this
This why you also won content creator of the year. You 100% enjoy what you do and explain it very well. You a natural entertainer. This video will prob blow up. Thank i learned alot
You are a very good teacher 😂. Within 5 minutes watching, I can play Stalker 2 in VR. Thank you so much
Am I the only one who keeps hearing him say "acknowledged porn". Gotta love British accents.
I think this will be the thing that takes VR to next level. Just imagine when game developers can create a VR profile for all their games. At least that what I hope happens.
Or valve buying it and implementing it in steam. That would be dream
@@joseandresjulienbarriere8786imagine! Injecting vr into ANY game
@@joseandresjulienbarriere8786even better
@@AirSights To be fair, it is highly constrained by comparison to developing for the 'flat world' so I don't think that characterisation is reasonable. But if one is bound by development budgets and goals I can see why VR might be 'de-prioritised'. I watched a guy crafting a landscape the other day, and was overcome with 'jealousy' seeing the liberty with which he dropped assets, sculpted the landscape etc. I on the other hand have notes to self like, no landscape, use small floors, no foliage brushes, use limited groups, simplify assets, occlude, occlude, occlude, no or rare vfx, etc. etc. was using V4.27 so level streaming (just now exploring UE V5.3.2)
@@AirSights It's quite easy to set up in UE indeed. Problem is, some now common techniques that devs use, like Normal Maps, don't work as intended in VR. Where in a 'flat' game, Normal Maps give of the appearance of extra 3D detail without the need of extra vertices on the mesh. In VR Normal Maps don't work and that extra 3D detail is gone. And they generally want the best graphics, as gamers have become accustomed to them. And they also don't want the VR version to look 'worse', because they know a lot of gamers then would complain about that aswell.
I had the same with my game: For my landscape material, I have Normal Maps on my rocks. Looked great on screen, but when I jumped into VR, all of a sudden my rocks looked a lot flatter, just the shape of the actual mesh.
Bro trepang² on its own is already insane. The freaking idea of getting this in VR with motion control is out of this world!
One thing for everyone to keep in mind, this isn't necessarily as "scary" or complicated as it may look here. This video is for those who want to tinker or don't want to wait for someone else to release a config file. There's an easy way to generate configs and share them, which is why when UEVR first publicly released you kept seeing the same games being demoed over and over again, because those were the ones that already had full configs ready to go.
As the tool matures and more people jump on it, there's a very good chance you'll just have to open a config someone else has dialed in and apply it to your game.
Either way this is an easy to follow guide for those games that don't have a config ready yet, so thank you for making it!
Theres a UEVR config repo somewhere ATM.
Thank you so much. I was struggling to make some games work, so I was just going to play games with existing profiles. Now I feel confident to make my own.
That's Insane, This new UEVR mod will bring VR to a whole new level, making much more content available in VR 🔥
doesn't work lol!
@blanka4545 What did you do wrong? It's not hard to mess up, perhaps I can help!
Can confirm it works, it's very simple. :)
@@OfficialExplosionMusic i tried many game only one worked.for rest of them steam vr gets stuck waiting... Mountain and pink screen .
Thank you Beardo! I was stuck on how to use 6DOF but this knowledge will set me free! Once again, you provide some quality tips for us to enjoy playing proper VR
I knew they were doing something interesting for 6dof but this is just next level. This is amazing
I just played GTA Trilogy with UEVR, I made the world small. It was a blast!!!! It felt like my childhood's small toys imaginations came to life. I made it so that the characters as small as a toy soldier. Wow!! And the cars, small as toys. I recommend you try it.
How did I miss this video?? This might have saved me with Don't Scream. Testing tomorrow and maybe streaming this weekend. This video is LIT. 🔥
That was really useful explained some of the more subtle settings that I wasn't aware of thank you beardo.
Man I love trepang 2 and to see it in vr like that, man holy hell. The fact it applies to most UE4 games is mind boggling, this is huge
just picked up a quest 3, 3 days ago and played skyrim vr with mods and it was awesome I look forward to trying other games with euvr thank you for the straight forward guide :)
Excellant video as usual Beardo.... You are my goto guy for info and I love your narration, always makes me chuckle
Also, any chance of showing us how to convert a 3rd person view game to a 1st person game..... I'm nearly there but could do with a guide to show me where I'm going wrong... Thanks in advance
I just finished the intro mission of Trepang2 in VR for the first time and I gotta say, it feels like the game was made for VR. What praydog's injector is going to do for the VR gaming scene is crazy. I can't wait to see what configs people make for other games in the future.
i wanted to do this with specifically trepang2, and the FACT THAT THE TUTORIAL YOURE MAKING IS ON THE GAME IS PERFECT LMAO
Brilliant, you've just opened up a whole new world in V.R. Gaming.
I’m posting this video everywhere, bro this is insane 💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Amazing.
I do not own a Microsoft PC …
I love how easy this is!
I assume this is going to make it way easier for lots of companies to make complete virtual reality versions of their games. ?!?!?
I super super super look forward to that!!!!
The best guide ive heard so far - thanks very much 👍 Praydog is a genius...
Thanks!
You are gorgeous, that’s really help my little son to achieve the whole library in vr. Thank you man, you are the best!!!
Really good tutorial. I've watched maybe a dozen so far and most do a passable job but don't go the extra step of providing helpful graphics and, most importantly, rush through things rather than taking their time to let steps sink in. Excellent content as always, Beardo.
Great content as always Beardo and very helpful, looking forward to having a play with this :) thanks again brah
That's amazing, I look forward to trying this out. Great guide, as well. Thanks Beardo Benjo!
Ben, Thank you so much for this! I'm pretty simple when it comes to any modding, but this was easy to follow and now I've managed to set up a flat screen horror UE5 game to play in VR 😱 Wish me luck...
Just one of the best UEVR I've seen so far!
AWRSOME vídeo tutorial!!! Could you make another one with a 3rd person game such us Spiro the Dragon for example? In order to also learn the process for this kind of games, THNKS!!!! :)))))
The good thing with 3d person is you can make it really easy a 1st person game
@@tasosm7x yap , great, but for example, I like also 3rd person games, such us Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and i don't want to transform those games into 1st person games, this is why i asked you about another tuto about your experience with this kindof games, GRACIAS!! :)))
@@jorgesantamaria8501why not just play flat screen?
@@ma-scalia8629thats like just eating the biscuit from a custard cream
@@ma-scalia8629 Same reason people would go to a live performance at a theater instead of watching it on a TV screen. The world and the character you control will be in VR and look amazing compared to being flat 2D on a monitor. Age of Empires 4 would look amazing in VR with the battlefield spread out in front of you, even if you're not seeing through any of the peasants' or soldiers' eyes.
When normal game become closer to VR and it's amazing~!
Glad that I ordered quest 3 before it's become possible and now there more tittles that I would enjoy~
What an awesome tutorial, i also love the fact that you even kept in the jump scare while you were explaining things. 😂🤣
This is insane. I hope this pushes developers to add these VR options to their games going forward. To go one further developers should incorporate a VR arm model as well so that we can have a moveable arm mesh for motion controllers. A relatively easy addition to a game that provides an entirely different gaming experience, I'd call that worth it for the development budget.
This shows in theory how relatively easy it is to take normal games and make them VR, not some insane redesign of a game from the ground up. - Sure some games are more suited than others to be VR, but this is very exciting indeed.
At the bare minimum if this shows devs how their games will be modded at least, they can avoid some of the classic jank with meshes and clashing that happens when developers only ever expect there to be a fixed FPS FOV camera.
Thank you for this Beardo! I was so hyped when I downloaded it for the first time but immediately upon opening it I was confused as hell and had no idea what I was doing. Add to the fact I don't particularly like discord nor understand how to search for things on there at times it just added to the confusion. This helped me out a lot and can't wait to start fiddling around with different titles. Just need to work out which ones use UE4 and 5
Thank you! This tutorial is so well done. Please make more simple tutorials like this for other games you play. Much appreciated! I have subscribed.
doesn't work. friend tried it
This mod is going to increase revenue for literally every UE game on the market. I feel like the only people who would try to stop praydog are the companies who want to release an official VR version of their game, which is _not_ many.
Or when it gets licensed to them so they CAN create their own VR game for next to nothing..
It's open source and it's now in the public domain. It can't be stopped or require to be licensed.
I have seen bits of this explained but this is the most comprehensive full setup guide I've see, excellent work. The crosshair looking misaligned in the video and not in headset I think is due the capture software only showing the view from one eye. With both eyes it looks centred. 👍
He has 2D spectator mode on which shows the social screen I think he is recording from. This is like normal fixed UI like you’d see in flat. In VR he is seeing a completely different UI.
@@waifu_enjoyer Unbelievable. It is just mindblowing. Saviour of VR...
I also wonder if a standard arms / hands mesh will be part of uevr one day
Fantastic guide! Be great to see a 3rd person one from you. Praydog is an absolute treasure! The re engine stuff was great but this something else
My dream has always been to play STALKER in VR. I can't wait for STALKER 2 and I pray that someone uses this base or something else to make a full 6DoF VR mod. And for those who might mention ITR, its a great VR Game but it's really *not* STALKER. The thing that makes STALKER imo is the AI, atmosphere, and lore. ITR hits the atmosphere part right but the enemies are pretty bad
the crosshair in the center would drive me insane
He said that its only visible in the capture
Great tutorial beardo b ...As vr creators when we play or use this mod it would be dope if we make it a standard to leave a link to our current profile made in the videos in the videos decription etc ....Ill definitely be coming back to this vid and some of waifus and paradice decay to touch up on the modding ..This one was the main tutorial i was looking for forsure
Please do a 3rd person -> 1st person tutorial next! This was GREAT!
Appreciate this. I downloaded it and injected palworld and then realized I had no idea how to do anything :D
But enough to check if it worked.
Knew you were gonna be my man to learn about this from. Keep on modding bro, and making killer videos. ❤
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, that is the Video im locking for "! since the release of the UEVR MOD. ❤ NOW the fun begins ;)
Subbed and will try this guide tonight. Thank you for your detailed explanation good sir!
Great content
This should be a whole series of videos that gets more and more complex with a wide variety of games
You can set an executable to always run as admin in the properties
This Mod changed my Life :D
Thanks did you upload the profile.
Thank you for showing these videos, I'm starting to understand it a little. Now since this video shows adjusting a 1st player game to VR, Could you also do a video for 3rd person switch over to VR first person, I know you have done Hogwarts for your self in a review, but I would really like to see HOW you set up those settings for that game. ---- please. Also would be nice to see where you can find already made presets that you mentioned, I believe you mentioned Discord? How would you set theirs up for you to use? and again Thank you for making these videos.
That's one fancy smartass bit of software! 10/10!
great video. please make further of these tutorial type videos.
Hoping to see this kind of stuff for other engines and genres too. Honestly just making an unmodded pancake RTS like Dawn of War or Men of War and adding a 3D head camera to look around with would be so cool. Watching all your tiny soldiers actually right in front of you fighting.
Sir beardo! i have finally gotten a quest 2..
and using this a as a tutorial.. i am starting to tinker with the killing antidote playtest.
its an awesome flatscreen game that only 2 devs are working on.. i hope you give it a try - they really deserve some exposure.
issues im having so far is the buttons in the menu. (the controls work somewhat but its cumbersome as well as some menus u definitely have to use ESC to get out.
and although playable.. i need to setup hopefully a camera toggle for FPS mode.
wish me luck in tinkering!
Best instructions out there Beardo! Thank you for your efforts mate!
I subbed simply because your video guide is the best.
Dude, this is great! I played the RE7 and 8 vr mods. But the in game menu didn’t work for me for whatever reason. Hopefully this works better, the plan is FF7 Rebirth after work tonight.
You made this incredibly easy can’t wait to do this with my vive pro 2 !:-)
Thanks so much for this!!!! Are you going to do a video on changing between third person and first person?
Can you turn the crosshair off
I was wondering the same thing
Just amazing - I know what I'm doing this weekend - revisiting games and downloading Atomic Heart. Thanks again for the great content, huge fan. I think you nailed it - in that, this mod could drive and motivate all game developers to AAA, knowing they could cross-platform sales between flat screen and VR. Wouldn't surprised if Epic acquires them.
Wow this is insane, thanks for the video beardy bro, be trying to get to grips with this today, amen men to the prey dog
Could you also remove the crosshair after you've attached the gun to the right controller?
That's the question I was looking for too :))
probably.. maybe the game itself has a disable crosshair..
i was wondering why he disabled the hands? i mean after u get the gun going well wouldnt the hands work well?
Love it! Another great vid! Great invention, kudos to ALL involved in its inception, and conception! 1 question tho...can the crosshair be removed? It was throwing me way off lol...
Great!! Thanks Beardo Benjo. Please bring more examples like this one.
Thank you for this in depth walk through of using the Injector! Now I feel like I have the basic knowledge to get started today! Cheers!
definitely got this bookmarked - guess i know what i'm doing after work - thank you!
I remember playing Squad (eu4) on my DK2 as those devs left their vr plugins active. Myself and a few others posted in their forums about how great this was and the devs promptly removed it. :( Anyway, Squad in VR was a fantastic and frightenting experience. According to the compatibility it works "perfectly."
I look forward to testing this out.
Extremely useful video and very well presented!
I and many others consider myself an idiot. This guide was made for me!
outstanding video! thank you for sharing this!
very great thanks! we need to find a way to disable the crosshairs, robocop too, terminator resistance too
This is what I have been looking for ,,, Thank you Ben ,,, GREAT VIDEO
Does anyone know how to attach the camera to the cat in Stray? When I do the camera attach settings he did, the camera drops into the ground
I freakin like the way u speak, so clear
i dont have any vr system and i liked this shit i think i might get one and use exactly the settings ur showing cheers!!
I have been experimenting for a while with the tool, and I never knew that the Quest 3's thumbrest had any input whatsoever.
Knowing that, I now know the bug I was having (Activating the D Pad) for Aliens Fireteam Elite
So thank you for that lol, I didn't realize that part of the controller was a sensor
The only thing I'm unsure about is if it is possible to remove solely the crosshair in games. It hasn't lined up for me once during any situation regarding setting up the firearms to the controller.
Some games also have a class branch of "Children" and "Weapons" which allow you to universally save entire states for the guns. At least, Alien Fireteam Elite does.
IE, no save stating every weapon since they all are at once
Do I need to use virtual desktop or steamVR to do this?
Every game I try to inject into (UE5 games and demos) either only gives me audio and no video, or the game crashes and closes all together.
I select the game or demo I have open from the UEVR list, select openXR, and inject.
Audio comes through, but no video. I'm using a quest 3.
Could use a little help 😬
Oh man, I wonder if devs will make their own profiles for this mod? That would be awesome. Or if other games that don't currently work with it if those devs will tweak things so their game will work with it. This is what VR needs, more games. If there are mods like this that can make more games VR games without extra work from the devs everyone is happy. We get VR games and devs don't need to spend hours making their games work with VR!
Very cool. Would be even better if dual wield work separately for both hands too, which I assume it would not, gonna try it later.
cheers banjo , ive just downloaded , im gunna try train sim world 2 ... should be fun
Awesome video Ben! Thank you so much!
Acknowledge Porn... Got it. Keep these UEVR tips coming. Thanks Beardo!
LMAO
Thanks Beardo and thanks Praydog, I would like to kiss his face.
excellent video ! thank you !
Very good video. Hopefully you'll be able to make a video to rundown ways to allow the computer to play games without turning into a puddle of plastic. Virtual Desktop settings for CAS or Open Composite upscaling. OpenXR toolkit for foveated rendering and NIS or FSR upscaling. Turning on DLSS. Etc. On top of that, setting world scale for and using the camera preset (and key binding).
Turning into a puddle of plastic meaning your PC is running too hot? Depends on your case and GPU, my card has no issues and doesn't get too hot
Now we need a mod menu to covert games on Android. Think of all the unity engines games on that platform.
I'm just someone with a good technical understanding, but not a game dev or Modder, but my mind is constantly trying to figure out how this is done.
Seen a tech demo for UE some time ago about animation retargeting where you can finetune a bone/skeletal animation by dynamically adapt it to player position and such things. My guess is tjat this is the technology behind this tool.
at 16:12, i have a problem. When i am adjusting the gun as he is here, i notice the blue box is aimed about 45 degrees towards the sky relative to my actual controller and in game gun.
explaining it a different way: if i were to match up the grip of the in game pistol to the grip of my physical quest pro controller at a comfortable 1 to 1 angle, the big blue box is aimed 45 degrees towards the sky. Also the bullets come out of the gun, make that 45 degree turn and shoot off into the sky.
its as if the adjustment box itself is misaligned with my physical controller. is there a way to adjust the blue box in relation to the physical controller?
EDIT: yes i have set the input to the relevent controller. (i have tried both right and left hand. the issue persists on both.)
Reply
In Unreal your player character and/or what ever you are controlling in the game is called "Pawn" and it's the BP_Pawn actor that your character/vehicle is built on in unreal engine.
*(The Pawn is the physical representation of a player within the world)*
So i guess that the acknowledged pawn is the possessed pawn that is the active player controller with a pawn at the time you attach to it.
(i think it could be a spectator camera if your player controller is not set to the actual game character pawn at the time you attach, but rather the spectator pawn and spectator controller)
Your BP_Pawn class needs to auto receive input from player 0 (You as the client playing on your PC), and not the controller. A unique player controller is created with each new pawn, so the player controller is dependent on the pawn/character. Is some cases it can be good to wait until you are in the game and have possessed the actual player pawn before you hook in to the camera and controllers.....
When it comes to the skeletal meshes, some games don't use a skeletal mesh for the weapons. But the arms are skeletal meshes. So the hand_l and hand_r has bones that the weapons are attached to. So i wonder if the plugin could inject to bones so it's possible to just control the bone(s) that the weapon is attached to :)
It would be so cool if this plugin also would let us grab the source code for the player character and controller on day to modify in unreal engine. That way we could add custom interaction to grab and reload, so we can turn the games into real VR shooters
getting in vr with 3 clicks is insane work
This was very very helpful. Thanks for that 👍
Although i don't own a vr yet, i like how easy you made this seem, ive seen san andreas work too!
How does dual welding work? Would they both be awkwardly attatched to the right hand or can you use them independently
