Oculus Rift HUD Mod

[Cylonsurfer]

Hi all

 

I've started work on a HUD mod so all essential information can be seen in game while using the oculus rift.

 

So far things are going well, i've edited HUD.DAT so that the radar, ammo, gun icon, help & wanted level are positioned reasonably well and viewable within the rift. However 2 items elude me, the first are the in mission prompts, i.e "collect X from the garage" type prompts.

 

The second and I suspect slightly more difficult is the on screen cell phone which pops up in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Ideally I would like to move the cell phone so it pops up in the center of the screen.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

Update:

I have the mission text working now and a few other nice additions.

 

Does anyone have any info on the ingame phone and how I can reposition it?

so.. you're making GTA IV compatible with the Oculus Rift ?

Thats the plan. Although C06alt and I have still had no luck moving the onscreen phone to a viewable position.

 

At the moment i'm thinking it may be easier to raise the arm position in the phone animation in order to make the text on the actual phone viewable in first person... Don't seem to be able to find said animation at the moment which throws a spanner in the works. I've checked cellphone. Wad and others, no joy yet....

That would be awesome!!, and maybe it's possible by some Native functions.

 

Here is a list : http://www.gtamodding.com/index.php?title=List_of_native_functions

 

You need Vb.net for that, but i guess you all ready know that, anyway, you could try this native :

 

• SET_MOBILE_PHONE_POSITION

 

I think that's the key. to you're problem

Thanks for the post, we have tried that function with no luck at the moment. Looking through the spcellphonemain.sco it appears the default value for this function is:

 

 

SET_MOBILE_PHONE_POSITION 3 0

 

Every other value I have tried so far just makes the phone vanish entirely

Hmm, maybe if you do something like 1 0, it vanishes because it goes to the right of the screen so off-screen, maybe something like 6 3 will work, or 6 0. Or you could edit the .sco file, don't know if that works, never tried. but maybe that's blocking the script

I have treid editing the .sco file directly. A value of 6.0 results in a CTD, I have not yet tried 6 3 or anything like that, but I have tested a lot of values sub 5 9. From my testing I assume the value does not relate to X Y positioning in any way - for example 4 0 results in a giant phone screen in the right corner which is not fully viewable and qucikly vanishes!
