Quake II VR

[dghost]

Hey all,

It's a little bit old at this point, but I realized recently I never posted about it here. A while back I forked the KMQuake II engine that supports the Oculus Rift. It features:
-6DOF Headtracking
-Decoupled aiming
-Rudimentary head/neck model
-Fully captured 2D UI
-Native support for Xinput gamepads

I also am going to try to get at least basic Hydra support worked in at some point, though there are technical issues that may prevent it from being much more than mouse/joystick emulation. I'm also probably going to take a swing at getting Linux and OS X support back in sometime over the break, but we'll see how that goes.

Source code and binary download links (including a shareware bundle) are on the project GitHub page.

If anyone has any feedback or feature requests, feel free to mention it

Edit: curse you BBCode, curse you.

Cool.

I will have to try to get this working this holiday What current experiences lack are volumetric effects, buuuut... Quake 2 has volumetric explosions! Perhaps not the most pretty, but at the time, I know I thought it was an amazing feat xD Still just polygons, but yeah.

The volumetric explosions actually hold up pretty well, and look a hell of a lot better than many attempts of faking explosions with sprites

That said. They could really, really use some extra particle effects to go with them. The "nuke cloud" look is kinda dated at this point.
