DesktopVRSwitch

Allows you to switch between Desktop and VR with a keybind.

Press Control + F6 to switch.

While this mod is a nice convienence feature to have access to, not every chillout system or mod is built to support it. Keep in mind there will be issues, so don't get mad if you do end up having to restart. :stare:

Please take a look at the table below for what may not function as intended after switch. A lot of them can be remedied by rejoining your current instance.

Function	Working	Note
Discord/Steam RPC	None	Rich Presence will report the first mode you launched in. (might correct on world change)
CVRPickupObject	None	Pickups will use the grip origin set during spawn. The game overrides the default VR origin with [Desktop] origin if available, so I cannot revert to VR origins when switching from Desktop.
CVRWorld UpdatePostProcessing	Not Implemented	GraphicsAO and other specific post processing settings are not currently set on switch.
SceneLoaded worldCamera	Not Implemented	World-set camera settings are not currently set for both Desktop & VR cameras.
ControllerRay vrActive	Not Sure	I haven't had any issues with this, so I haven't bothered looking into it.
CVRWorld CopyRefCamValues	Not Implemented	This may not cause issues, but farclip is not set on the opposite modes transition effects when you load a world.
CameraFacingObject	Maybe	All CameraFacingObject behaviors have their camera changed to the active main camera on switch. Not sure if this is a good solution, but required for nameplates to face your viewpoint.
CoHtmlHud	Yes	CoHtmlHud is parented to the active camera on switch.
HudOperations	Kind Of	HudOperations is set to use the correct gameobjects to show loading info on the bottom right of the hud, but it seems to not be placed correctly.
CheckVR	No	Not needed. We initialize SteamVR ourselves and MetaPort only checks it on Start.
MetaPort	Yes	This is the most important as everything checks here for VRMode. Some systems will cache VRMode on start though, which is where issues with switching occur.
PlayerSetup	Yes	Also highly important. PlayerSetup caches VRMode from MetaPort to run correct calibration. To prevent errors, a dummy VRIK component is created before running a quick calibration to prevent PlayerSetup from erroring when switching to VR.
MovementSystem	Yes	MovementSystem constantly checks MetaPort for VRMode each frame, so while it isn't directly needed I still set the cached VRMode to true.
CVRInputManager	Yes..?	We set CVRInputManager.reload to have input & menus reload next frame, but also set independentHeadToggle and others to false to prevent the game from locking head control.
GesturePlaneTest	Testing	GestureReconizer will use the original launch camera for reference, which means you cannot pull the camera out with gestures when switched. It is the only part of the game that makes a cached result from VRMode private, so I have to dick around with Traverse/Harmony. :stare:

(an old clip from the first few tests, no longer using melonprefs as uiexpansionkit kinda gets nuked on menu reload)
