Hi all,
Now that we know the likely format for EDO VR it would be good to discuss areas which could help or hinder the mod scene. This way we could at least push for the helpful aspects to be included during the run-up to launch.
I know nothing about modding, but these aspects have been raised elsewhere as possibly of interest:
We could at least push for SBS support to be maintained in EDO, for example.
Hell, allowing the current 3D / stereoscopic system for the panel would be even better right
. But I suspect FDev would be resistant to having that as a native option. At least going by their past quotes on VR Legs support, and this phrasing from the latest announcement: '...we do strongly believe that VR should only be enabled for on foot gameplay when we have an experience that truly matches the same quality bar that we set for cockpits'.
Any other ideas of things that might be useful for the modding scene? Chuck them in below
Standard caveat: Obviously the end-game here is to facilitate modding that sits within the terms of service. Ideally something which FDev would be cool with, requiring low oversight on their part. I suspect any mods that get tacit approval might have to be solo only, depending on the techniques used. (IE whether the technique is open to abuse by other mods, and so blanket banned from online use etc, as is the case with the custom scripts in scripthook for GTA V).
General Outreach: Any modders out there thinking of having a crack at this?

I know nothing about modding, but these aspects have been raised elsewhere as possibly of interest:
- The existing SBS (side by side) stereoscopic view mode. Used for Google Cardboard etc.
- The existing anaglyph mode? IE the classic red/green '3D' view. (Although this seems redundant for VR if SBS still supported?)
