The "Enable backward compatibility" button lets you enable or disable the SteamVR listener. Remember to
enable it before use because it is disabled by default.
All the following sliders are useful to properly isolate the controller rumble signals corresponding to shoots,
and to render them into realistic haptic feedbacks:
•
The "
Kick power
" slider lets you choose the strength of the haptic device kicks generated by the
backward compatibility.
•
The "
Kick threshold
" slider lets you choose the minimum power required by the Companion
Application to make the module kick. All weaker signals will only trigger the rumble motors of the
module.
•
The "
Big rumble threshold
" slider lets you choose the minimum power required to activate the bigger
rumble motor of the module. All weaker signals will only trigger the smaller rumble motor.
Troubleshooting:
•
Too high shot frequencies can solicit the kick motor too much and make you feel misfires.
•
It is not the same problem with the rumble motors, because they do not need to get back to be
reactivated. In this case, you just have to reduce the kick power (because directly linked to the motor
activation duration).
•
The "
Minimum rumble duration
" slider lets you choose the minimum duration of a rumble performed
by the module. All shorter rumble duration requests will be bringing to this value. This feature is hidden
if “Show advanced settings” is off.
The point of this function is to drive the rumble motors long enough
to be felt by the player.
•
The "
Delay between shots
" slider lets you choose a minimum delay between two shots. After a request
is transmitted, all requests after this one will not be transmitted during the duration you chose. This
feature
is hidden if “Show advanced settings” is off.
Below these sliders, there are two columns: "Left-hand controller" and "Right-hand controller". For each of
these controllers, you have the following options:
•
The "
Listen controller events
" buttons let you choose to spy or not the events from the left or right VR
controller.
•
The "
Transmit controller to kick
" buttons let you choose to transmit or not the events from the left or
right VR controller to the kick motor of the module. These bottons
are hidden if “Show advanced
settings” is off.
•
The "
Transmit controller to rumble
" buttons let you choose to transmit or not the events from the left
or right VR controller to the rumble motors of the ForceTube.
These buttons are hidden if “Show
advanced settings” is off.
