UPDATE TIME!!! 7DVR Version 3.2!

OKAY! This one has definitely taken longer than we hoped!
We’ve been steadily fixing things and adding new features, but we kept running into bugs that were big enough we didn’t feel comfortable releasing. But now, with 7D 2.0 just around the corner, we think we have a great new version of 7DVR ready to serve as the last big build for 7D 1.4 and all its amazing mods and overhauls!

And with that, Kaaliba and Nephilim are incredibly proud to present 7DVR 3.2!!!!

Here’s what’s new:

• SUPERSHARDS!!! What the heck is a SuperShard? Glad you asked! SuperShards is a complete re-write of the 7DVR UI. The new version has a ton of benefits, including extreme customization of all VR UI pieces. Want to put your compass on your hand? No problem! Want your main UI bigger or smaller? You can do this! Want your health/stamina to be always visible in front of you? You do you! Each piece of UI (a “Supershard”) is fully customizable. Here are the main improvements:
  • Extremely customizable, even allowing for different “sets” of UI pieces for different overhaul mods.
  • Out-of-the-box compatibility with most overhauls and UI mods., and it’s possible for users to add compatibility for new overhauls that we haven’t seen!
  • No “cut off” UI pieces or funky overlaps anymore. See every bit of UI perfectly.
  • Small (very small) performance compared with the classic UI!
  • Less random UI issues in VR. For example, you can now paint objects through the UI (was impossible before).
  • Automatically adjusts for left-handed mode!
  • UI is no longer affected by post-processing (no more “blinding” UI pieces)
• Escape from Tarkov Compatibility! We now fully support the EFT set of mods. This includes the gun packs (Extraction Pack) as well as the full overhaul mod. Experience 100s of insanely precise and beautiful guns, ammo types, and weapon attachments. This is a must-see for anyone with a passion for guns.
• Rebirth Compatibility! This is one of the most incredible new overhaul mods to come out in some time. The overhaul features a new game mode, custom quests, animal and demon companions, custom weapons/skill trees, and oh so much more.
• IZY Compatibility! IZY is one of the most well-known (and most requested) gun packs for 7D. Similar to Escape from Tarkov, the pack includes hundreds of fantastic, incredibly detailed guns and ammo. IZY can be installed with other mods, and it is included by default in Rebirth.
• Afterlife Compatibility! Welp. Shortly after we advertised Afterlife compatibility in a previous release, Afterlife was updated and broke things for 7DVR. It works again! For those unfamiliar, Afterlife is also one of the newest, most-incredible new overhaul mods that totally transforms the game!
• Dynamic Object Quality 4.0! We’ve added a ton of new “Advanced” options (in 7DVR Options->Debug) to give precise control over how Dynamic Object Quality works. This is great for folks who want like to ensure, for example, NO pop-ins at the cost of some performance. Similarly, users can customize this to ensure better performance by slightly decreasing visual quality.
• Major Under-the-Hood Changes: 7DVR uses BepInEx, a tool that allows us to gain control the moment the game is launched. Unfortunately, BepInEx became incompatible with the latest versions of 7D when certain mods are used. To fix this, we wrote a custom version of BepInEx that now is fully compatible! This means we still have the control we need to make VR magic happen, we support more mods than ever, and we have somewhat future-proofed ourselves! Woooo!!!
• Fixed compatibility with SMX Menu mod. 7D 1.0 broke our compatibiliity with this, making it difficult to use the menus and play overhauls like War3zuk. All fixed!
• Fixed death UI bug: The eternal void of death has been defeated! We finally found a way to put the respawn UI right in front of you after death. Phew!
• Fixed gun laser attachment: It turns out that 7D 1.4 completely broke our code for how the laser attachment on guns works. This is fixed now!
• Added Vehicle Turn Speed Option: This highly requested feature allows you to reduce turn speed. Great for better precision and especially for users with controller drift.
• Updated 7DVR Options: Cleaned up some old options and added new ones for SuperShards and more! There is even an option now to enable all the crazy Video options that don’t work well with VR (for those who like to live dangerously).
• Updated SteamVR and Unity Packages: Fixed a few minor problems resulting from old packages.
• Cleaned up logging: It turns out that recent versions of 7D have been causing our code to spam tons of info into the TFP log file. This is all fixed, and we hope it brings a bit of performance improvement.
• Lots of other little bug fixes and minor improvements!

Small but important note: Customization of UI using SuperShards is a bit advanced at the moment. We’ll publish full instructions in the 7DVR user guide. Our goal is to make it MUCH easier to customize things in future versions of 7DVR.

GIANT THANKS to all of our Testers. 7DVR would be much, much buggier without their incredible work! And ESPECIALLY GIANT THANKS to @DragonzHeartz, @jugonsolitario, and @wealthypixelcollector for painstakingly calibrating the absolutely insane number of weapons for EFT, IZY, and Rebirth!!! Thanks to them, we have HUNDREDS of new weapons all calibrated and ready to play!

That’s all for now! Once 2.0 is available, we’ll do our best to release a new version of 7DVR for that as quickly as possible.
As always this mod is 100% free! But…if you feel like being super-duper-mega-awesome and have the means, we would love your support! If you like 7DVR and want to become a Hero Survivor, please consider donating!!!

Tons of to you all! NOW GET BACK TO BONKING!!!!

Previous Updates

7DVR Version 3.1!

Alright, 7DVR Fam! It’s that time again! A smaller update this time for sure, but here we go! @kaaliba & @Nephillim42 ro are proud to present 7DVR version 3.1!!!

There are a few big(ish) changes in here, but the really important one is that we are now compatible with 7 Days v1.2 b27+ ! This means you can play with the latest version of the game–no downgrade required.
IMPORTANT: Due to the large changes in the new version of 7 Days to Die, 7DVR 3.1 is only compatible with 7D 1.2. 7DVR 3.1 unfortunately will not work with 7D 1.1 or lower.

Here is what changed since 7DVR 3.0

7 Days 1.2 Compatibility!! Experience the latest hard work of The Fun Pimps. Among other things, TFP has added new optimizations, character models, lighting changes, and more. Speaking of lighting, the game is bright now–maybe too bright for some of us. The great DragonzHeartz found that changing “Brightness” to 25% (under Video Setting) seems to be a good new balance. This actually doesn’t seem to lower brightness during the daytime, but it makes nights more…errrr…night-like! Overall, 1.2 seems to look great so far!

Afterlife Compatibility!! Afterlife is one of the newest and most-impressive complete overhauls to 7D. Definitely check it out if you haven’t heard of it! But…there’s a catch. We had what seemed like near perfect compatibility with Afterlife ready to go with 7D 1.1. BUT, Afterlife is not yet compatible with 7D 1.2. So for now, be excited that we should support Afterlife once they update for 1.2! We’ll test as soon as it is released, of course, to be sure. Check it out in the Afterlife Discord!

Dynamic Object Quality v3.0: We’ve done a bit of tinkering to improve Dynamic Object Quality (DOQ). For those unfamiliar, this is the system we created that dynamically balances the distance/quality at which objects are drawn to balance farthest view distance and best performance. It allows FAR greater view distance than normally is possible in 7D, and the system works for flatscreen players that have 7DVR installed also! The new version of DOQ increases the lowest level of draw distance so that you (hopefully) don’t experience things popping in just a few meters in front of you (cars, shopping carts, corn, etc.). Draw distance still does go super low if performance gets extremely bad, but it recovers very quickly (in about 5 seconds) to a good, playable level once performance recovers.

Darkness Falls Compatibility!! Darkness Falls is one of the greatest and best-known overhauls for 7 Days to Die. Early versions for 7D 1.0+ have been released, and we are fully compatible! You can download and play now by visiting the Darkness Falls Discord!

Fixed and improved “No Body” mode! For those that enjoy that classic Bethesda experience, you can enjoy playing with only your hands visible. This now works well with the new character models of 7D 1.0+. Hands now show the correct models and hold items properly!

Fixed bug where Main Menu scene could show up in game world if Cuddly Companion Cube (CCC) is turned off. Beware, though, the CCC doesn’t like being turned off and will silently judge you harshly if you turn him off.

Added compatibility for Quartz mod (required by many other mods).

Bunches of other little miscellaneous bug fixes/improvements.

Incredibly BIG thanks to our Patrons, supporters, Testers, Flat2VR, and to all of you–our amazing 7DVR Family!!! Thanks also to the Afterlife community for helping us with compatibility!

AND GIANT THANKS to DragonzHeartz for not only testing but also painstakingly calibrating ALL of the hundreds of items for Afterlife, Darkness Falls, and Vanilla!!! You’re incredible!!!
