Following steps doesnt run application in oculus headset

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 24 comments

i have followed the setup instructions, press run, and it plays within the unity editor... i move my oculus headset around, and it moves on the screen as expected... however, putting the oculus on my head, i can see the Oculus Home thing... the game isnt running in my headset?

I see in update: 2017-07-18 you "Removed Oculus Ultilities and Avatar"... does this mean this PlayoVR no longer supports Oculus? or do i need to import this myself still (which causes errors), or is there a setting needed... or is this a bug?

Answer 1 · 2018-08-08T11:45:08.000Z

Oculus is definitely supported! But I did indeed not update the instructions to include it. I will do that ASAP.

Answer 2 · 2018-08-08T11:49:18.000Z

Phew!!! thank you
do i need to import the oculus SDK things? I see there is are command line arguments too, but searched project for somewhere to maybe manually pick this (so i can run direct from unity instead of exe from command line)

Answer 3 · 2018-08-08T12:42:19.000Z

Yeah you need to download the Oculus SDK and copy it in the project. But I'll need to do it myself first so I can add the exact instructions to the readme

Answer 4 · 2018-08-08T12:57:08.000Z

I added a link to the instructions for VRTK: https://github.com/thestonefox/VRTK/blob/master/Assets/VRTK/Documentation/GETTING_STARTED.md#supported-sdks

Does that fix the problem for you?

Answer 5 · 2018-08-08T13:19:25.000Z

Btw, I had to delete the /Assets/Oculus/Samples/SocialStarter folder from my project for things to work. I think those samples are not compatible with the latest Photon Unity Networking asset.

Answer 6 · 2018-08-08T14:11:12.000Z

no joy for me : (

My steps:
1.imported ovr_avatar_sdk_1.26.0
2.imported ovr_unity_utilities_Main
3. I deleted the /Assets/Oculus/Samples/SocialStarter folder
4.I get a messaging from unity saying about an OVR update... it auto updates and restarts unity
5. I hit RUN... my player is under the floor and i have no hands?

Answer 7 · 2018-08-08T14:12:58.000Z

Also... i keep getting a "SteamVR_Settings" dialog... with recommended project settings, i "Accept All" and it goes... but it keeps coming back whenever i run

Answer 8 · 2018-08-08T14:20:17.000Z

If i remove the oculus assets again, then i try to import the SDK provided in the link above from VRTK (i.e. "Oculus Integration") I get the following after import:

Assets/Scripts/AudioManager.cs(5,14): error CS0260: Missing partial modifier on declaration of type `AudioManager'. Another partial declaration of this type exists

Answer 9 · 2018-08-08T14:23:09.000Z

... if i delete all folders inside "Oculus" and only keep "Avatar" and "VR" (and delete the cocialStarter folder too) it runs again... but i am back under the floor with no hands

Answer 10 · 2018-08-08T14:32:41.000Z

and finally... i added the OVRCameraRig to the VRTK_SDKSetup as they mention, and on the OVRCameraRig in the scene found the OVRManager and set its Tracking Origin Type to Floor Level.

I am now above the floor... however i still have no hands and i cant move around : (

Answer 11 · 2018-08-08T14:44:09.000Z

I'm still at work, I'll try to get things to work with my Rift in the evening and see if I can get things to work.

Answer 12 · 2018-08-08T14:52:38.000Z

Thank you, you have been very helpful : )

Hopefully my failed attempts help somehow

Answer 13 · 2018-08-10T06:54:15.000Z

Hi Quintesse,
Just wanted to see if you had any luck with this, or are you hitting the same issues i faced?
Thanks again

Answer 14 · 2018-08-10T13:17:32.000Z

Hi @treendy , I'm still on it, unfortunately it's harder than I expected. I hope to be able to at least get out a version soon where following the steps in the docs at least don't give any errors. But I'm also having problems with the hands and grabbing not working as expected sigh

Answer 15 · 2018-08-10T13:28:26.000Z

I have a feeling it may be a VRTK issue... i have noticed my other projects, the example scenes they provide are having the same probelm with hands and movement... ill try a fresh VRTK and see if it still has the issue

Answer 16 · 2018-08-10T13:40:36.000Z

ok... downloaded a latest version of VRTK... opened the project in unity without adding anything else... it runs... it shows in my headset, and i am above the ground (but no hands... which i guess if fine as i havent added oculus avatar).

Then...I import avatar and utilities.... now, i start on the ground, and I still have no hands.

sounds like its an issue with the latest VRTK maybe

Answer 17 · 2018-08-10T14:36:12.000Z

Im losing the will to live here lol... tried so many variations with no luck : (

I just created an issue on VRTK so they can get it working in the latest versions... but i will keep digging... managed to get the player walking around, so just need to fix the hands now (then will try out the fix on they version i have with PlayoVR set up)

Here is the issue anyway: ExtendRealityLtd/VRTK#1870

Answer 18 · 2018-08-12T07:44:20.000Z

Hi @quintesse , I think the issue is due to the meta data from components and script files being out of sync in this latest version.... have a look at the VRTK issue i raised (linked in my last comment).

This issue seems like a show stopper for the latest VRTK main branch... so im surprised not many others have mentioned it yet (maybe its because not many people have upgraded to all the latest versions)

Answer 19 · 2018-08-12T08:04:04.000Z

... just seen that if you go to Assets/VRTK/Examples/ExampleResources/SharedResources/Prefabs/SDKManager then drag the VRTK_SDKManager prefab in to the work space, all the scripts are attached correctly..

So, just need to compare your prefab settings with this new one and either add the parameter values back in to the new one, or add all the missing componants to your version from the new one

Answer 20 · 2018-08-12T08:14:34.000Z

Its working : D

So... only need to delete your scenes prefab, drag in a new one (from the path in last post above) and the only parameters you need to add are attached to the main VRTK_SDKManager object and that is the "Script Aliases" for Left Controller and Right Controller (click the little circle with a dot in the middle, search LeftController and attach that... same for right)

Now i run, i have hands, i can teleport and interact with objects.

I will test how it works over a network later (i did have an issue with the door though... seemed to be stuck closed

Answer 21 · 2018-08-12T14:38:37.000Z

Glad you were able to work it out @treendy !

I just updated the code using more or less the same updates you just described. It does work but I get a whole lot of NPEs in the log. Don't know why yet, it is something to do with the Avatar.

I get the same errors in some of the VRTK examples.

I'll close this because it should at least work now.

Answer 22 · 2018-08-12T17:14:43.000Z

I dont think i am getting an NPEs show in the log? how can i check that... if im not getting any, i can upload a video of exactly what i did to get it working.

Answer 23 · 2018-08-12T17:33:53.000Z

I dont think i am getting an NPEs show in the log? how can i check that..

I meant the "Console" panel in the Unity editor

Can you perhaps check if the latest version of PlayoVR works for you too?

Answer 24 · 2018-08-12T21:37:52.000Z

Hi @quintesse
I just tried following your steps just to confirm your changes are working, however i now get the following:

Assets/VRTK/Source/SDK/SteamVR/SDK_SteamVRController.cs(8,11): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Valve' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

Which is strange... didnt get that before, and i am running Oculus and followed each step (my seperate project still works though)
