Rift settings in startup.cfg

[[CPT]CptJackSparrow 223]

or_enable = 1
    or_height = 2224
    or_hud_rad = 1.50000
    or_hud_size = 0.75000
    or_ipd = 0.05892
    or_width = 1872

 

The hud ones seem to adjust the size and position of hud elements. I'm curious, what does ipd do?

I think that is your inter pupilary distance, the thing you set in the Rift with the slider on the bottom when setting it up.

How does the startup.cfg file know what the ipd setting should be, where does its number come from, and what effect does changing it have?  Should we manually go in and change it to what the Rift says you're using or what your glasses prescription says it should be?

 

For example, those lines in my file are as follows:

 

or_enable = 1

or_height = 2427

or_hud_rad = 1.50000

or_hud_size = 0.75000

or_ipd = 0.06929

or_lens_offs = 1.00000

or_width = 2038

 

I don't recall having changed any of them myself - why are some of them different from the ones in the OP?

I beleive ipd in startup.cfg is automatically updating to the actual physical ipd of the hmd. Probably reading the value from steamvr?

It is indeed automatically updated. Make sure to not have the startup on read-only when playing in VR.

What's lens_offs do?
