Hi everyone!
I thought there may be some interest here in a mod we've been working on for Half-Life 2. We've added 1:1 weapon handling using the Razer Hydra and made a whole bunch of tweaks and changes to try and turn our favourite game into the best VR experience it can be.
It's still very much a work in progress but it's at a point now where we're comfortable to pimp it out. If you have an Oculus Rift and a Razer Hydra then give it a go, I promise you wont be disappointed! :D

Needs support for the I Glasses

Yeah, right after we add support for this thing :P

I really like the holographic HUD that appears on your wrist and the side of each weapon.
Thanks Kyle, it's pretty cool eh? We're working on it still, should be even better in the next release! :)
Is the Hydra required to play this, or is it toggleable?
Yeah, a Hydra is required. We plan on supporting the Sixense STEM, and maybe the PrioVR systems in future. Mouse and keyboard support is on the to-do list but it's pretty far down there...
</Glorious Rift Master Race> :P
-snip- They have a animator/modeler working on something like that.
Hi Sally, I'm the one doing the modelling and animation, what did you mean about the hands?
Is a rift required? Have a hydra and would be fun to try this.

Well most of the weapons use the valve biped rig for the hands meaning you can delete the current hands in most of the weapons and replace them with the full hands/arms. This is so they don't cut off while you are holding them to a farther extent.

That would mean that instead of floating hands, you'd have full floating arms that are always outstretched which would look even weirder. That would only be helpful if you'd also somehow set up an IK chain to keep the end of the arms properly attached to where the shoulders would be but I imagine that'd be all sorts of complicated.
Jesus
Suddenly the Oculus and Hydras became my top priority to buy
Glad i have em, i'll make sure to give this a try!

Could work well, if possibly a bit confusing.
Thanks Lizzrd, here is [URL="http://hl2.gamebanana.com/gamefiles/3164"]another mirror on gamebanana[/URL]!
Ultimately we plan on giving Gordon an entire body, but as simkas pointed out, thats slightly tricky to do properly and the disembodied hands is the least shitty compromise we've found so far!
As I never experienced VR gameplay I have a question,how do you move/walk with this?Considering the keyboard and mouse eliminated.
Movement is achieved using controller thumbsticks. Here is someone demonstrating an older version of the mod:

Could we get a video with the newer version of the mod?
Here is some footage of version 1.2, the control method hasnt changed:

I want to buy the equipment to use this just for that crossbow.
That ammo/health displayed on the side of the gun thing is just pure genius.
All I want to do is put the gun sideways and shoot combines from the side while running and gain all the bitches. :v:
Being able to fire a pistol [I]Gangsta' Style[/I] is, of course, the primary purpose of this mod :P
Add the ability to aim the gun at yourself and shoot yourself to death.
[QUOTE=kimr120;42632380]Add the ability to aim the gun at yourself and shoot yourself to death.[/QUOTE]
It's a popular request and on the to-do list!
the true successor to trespasser??
Is the hud moved via the hydra or is it basically attached to the gun? If the latter, maybe you should add an idle animation for the shotty where he flips the gun around and examines his health or whatever (If that's possible, of course). :)
