Overview
How to apply bindings which enable smooth locomoton using the left touchpad as most of us are used to, ie for direction.Also has some other functionalities.
How to/what is this.
Ive made made bindings for Vive Wands to use smooth locomotion and some extra functionalities.
TO LOOK AT HOW THESE ARE SET UP WHEN YOU DONT HAVE VIVE WANDS:
Start SteamVR with your controllers turned off.
Open your browser and go to [link]
Pick No Mans Sky from the list on the right.
Set controller type to Vive Wands.
Look at how i set up the my binds by scrolling down and picking mine from the shared to figure out what you need to do in your controller setup if you are interested.
Go to town editing for a better game experience 😀
Here is how to try these out or find where you can configure your own:
start up No Mans Sky in VR.
Open up the Steam dash.
Go to “Settings” towards the lower right hand side.
Hit “controller settings” on the left.
Pick No Mans Sky from the list.
(You are now where you can modify the controls if you want to try making some binds of your own, maybe you have different controllers than vive wands, this is where you can make a directional smooth locomotion setup for those)
Scroll down to Community Bindings and pick Ziddans SmoothLoco+Extras, its got my portrait next to it so it should be easy to find.
Hit “View Binding” to see what i did, if you are interested.
Hit “Select Binding” down on the lower left to give it a try if you like.
There is how my bindings differ from the defaults:
-Left-
Menu=Double tap to toggle Flashlight, Hold for Recenter, Toggle Analysis mode when next to head.
Pad=Movement, press any direction except down for sprint, down cycles secondary weapon mode such as shield/plasma grenade/geo grenade. Left/Right navigates open quick/terrain menus.
Trigger=Jump. Moves in controller direction when quick/terrain/build menu is open.
-Right-
Menu=Switch weapon mode, Double tap for Discoveries/Options menu, Hold to tag marker in analysis mode.
Pad=Press up for Scan. When in analysis mode: Center to for custom marker, Down for Next Survey mode.
Grip=When a quick or menu or the terrain tool is open: press increases beam size, quick double press decreases beam size.
-Chords-
Press right touchpad down AND:
Right Trigger to reload.
Left Menu Button for quick menu.
Left touchpad up to toggle auto-walk
Exocraft
Left wand:
Trigger=boost
Trackpad:Up=forward, Down=break/reverse, Center=tag marker.
Right wand:
Menu=switch weapon mode, double press for discoveries/options menu.
Trigger=fire weapon.
Trackpad: Up=Scan, Down=Vertical thruster(for which i think the internal binding is broken currently) Left=place checkpoint, Right=Delete checkpoint.
ADDITION: Ive noticed that auto-walk works even when the quick menu is open so now its possible to refill life support and protection and keep moving at the same time.
The jetpack gets its direction from the right hand as opposed to walking which gets its direction from the left, knowing this makes it a heck of a lot easier to ascent between floors of prefabs with holes in the floor/ceiling, or wherever you want to jet straight up.
