World Of Warcraft Vr Mod
Your raid leader is also likely to skewer you with Thunderfury if you try to finish a raid in first-person VR; World of Warcraft simply isn’t designed to be played that way. That said, the world is immense and full of detail. Strapping on a VR headset and flying the skies of Azeroth is a fantastic way to see the game in a brand-new way. A shoddily-put-together World of Warcraft VR mod for private servers. This is a tool to add headtracking with OpenVR for World of Warcraft private servers. It is intended to be used with TriDef and Virtual Desktop. Versions 1.12.1, 2.4.3 and 3.3.5 of the WoW client are supported.

Here are some of the more exciting games that you can mod with VR right now.
Minecraft
Minecraft is one of those games that’s defined by its modability.

For this post, the relevant mod is Minecrift, which is a project that takes VR integration into its own hands. You’ll need to build it from source if you want the absolute latest version, but you can also use these installer files which are easier. (Installers only support up to 1.7.10 at the time of this writing.)
Or you could wait until Minecraft gets official VR support when the Oculus Rift launches. That’d probably be easier for most folks.
World of Warcraft

That's what people said about the Wiimote, the Kinect, and more recently Google Glass, and that's what they're saying about the Oculus Rift. If you're one of them, I implore you..Read More, and a lot of people are waiting for the day when something like Sword Art Online can become reality. Until then, we’ll just have to make do with modern MMORPGs… or will we?
As it turns out, someone actually modded World of Warcraft to be compatible with Oculus Rift. Not completely or perfectly, mind you, but to a degree that hasn’t been done until now. See what Hoopermation managed to accomplish in this video:
You can read about how he did it in this short interview, but there isn’t much of a guide to follow if you want to experience it for yourself. Long story short, you’ll need TriDef 3D, which costs $40 but comes with a 14-day free trial.
Fallout 4
If you want to try VR in a game that doesn’t natively support it, your best bet will be to try it with VorpX. Long story short, VorpX aims to let you play any DirectX9, DirectX10, or DirectX11 game with the Oculus Rift. It isn’t perfect, but it’s a good start.
And in the list of supported games is Fallout 4, which was one of the most anticipated and well-received games of 2015. Even on a normal monitor, the world was large and immersive — so can you imagine how awesome it would be if you could transport yourself in there with VR?
Use this unofficial setup guide to get started. Again, it’s not perfect, but you do get to experience the huge sense of scale in the game and the oppressive post-apocalyptic atmosphere, so if you’re a fan of the game, then it ought to be well worth trying.
Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V has a lot in common with the above-mentioned Fallout 4, at least in terms of how much benefit they get out of VR incorporation. It also helps that this game is one of the best Rockstar games of all timeThe 8 Best Rockstar Games Of All TimeThe 8 Best Rockstar Games Of All TimeRockstar Games is more than just Grand Theft Auto, and its back catalog of titles deserves a closer look. What follows is a list of the best titles Rockstar Games has released so far.Read More.
In a lot of ways, open worlds represent the pinnacle of what VR will eventually achieve, so games like this can give us a taste of what’s to come.
To implement VR support in Grand Theft Auto V, you’ll need to use the third-party mod called GTA VR. It currently requires VorpX and ScriptHookV to work, and is only compatible with the Oculus Rift DK2 at this time (runtime version 0.8), but other headsets will be supported later on.
The official installation instructions are a little complex but straightforward enough to follow if you’re careful and attentive. Complement it with these other GTA V mods for an even better experience.
Skyrim

Technically, it’s a collection of mods that make smooth VR possible. Follow this comprehensive guide on Reddit to get started, and make sure you adhere to every single step without taking any shortcuts. It’s a bit complicated so take your time.
The best part? No VorpX needed! Note that all of this should be done on a vanilla install of Skyrim. Things may go awry if you attempt to install and configure everything with pre-existing mods and settings.
If you do have VorpX, you can use this alternative setup guide which is easier to follow. The end result is the same though: Skyrim in VR.
Mario Kart Wii
VR headsets like the Oculus Rift require a lot of computing power, so you won’t ever be able to hook one up to a legacy console system and play games like that. However, there is a viable workaround: emulation.

These instructions on Reddit are based on an older version of Dolphin VR, but you can still use it as a jumping-off point for figuring out how to get it working. Dolphin VR has put up three new releases since that thread was posted.
Alien: Isolation
Oculus Vr World Of Warcraft
This last game doesn’t actually need any third-party mods or tools to enable VR support, but it does need a few tweaks to get it there, so we’ve included it in the list — mostly because the VR experience ramps up the adrenaline, making it worth trying at least once no matter who you are.
The following video shows what I mean, but be warned: it contains NSFW language!

Are You Excited for Virtual Reality?
If these game mods have taught me anything, it’s that people are really excited about the potential for VR in gaming, so much so that they’re willing to take matters into their own hands instead of waiting for developers to catch up with market demand.

Will my controller work with ConsolePort?
IMPORTANT: This addon requires third-party software for keyboard and mouse emulation. Using third-party software is not prohibited by Blizzard as long as it doesn't automate your gameplay.
ConsolePort currently supports Xbox and Dualshock 4 controllers natively, courtesy of WoWmapper. It also supports the Steam controller through their own mapping interface. ConsolePort is not restricted to those, but it is somewhat restricted to conventional controller layouts. It requires a set of atleast 14-15 buttons, which is what you'll find on any version of the PlayStation, Xbox or Logitech controllers. A current generation official controller is recommended because of their precision, build quality and superior mouse curve compared to older generations.
Instructions
DualShock 4 / Xbox controller on Windows (NOTthe Steam controller)
- Install WoWmapper and start the application.
- Connect your controller by USB or Bluetooth. Make sure your controller is recognized in your operating system. WoWmapper will automatically detect and map your controller.
- Install the addon and start the game.
- If you enable ConsolePort sync, your calibration data will automatically load when you log in. If not, you will have to calibrate manually by pressing each requested button 3 times.
Steam controllers on Windows
- Add WoW-64.exe (or WoW.exe on 32-bit) to Steam as a non-steam game. Name it World of Warcraft. (Alternatively, follow the instructions below to step 4 and import the profile as a general template and set it as your desktop configuration.)
- Install the ConsolePort addon in [WoW folder]/Interface/AddOns.
- Place the controller profile in [Steam folder]/controller_base/template.
- Start big picture mode and find World of Warcraft in your library.
- Click Manage Shortcut > Configure Controller > Browse Configs.
- Go to the Templates tab and select the ConsolePort Official profile in the list.
- Start WoW.
Other controllers and operating systems
- WoWmapper with X360CE for your unsupported controller
Using the addon
Camera and mouse control
Mouse look is a feature within the game where you lock your mouse cursor in order to control the camera in 3D-space. This state is usually triggered by holding down the right mouse button. ConsolePort utilizes this feature to a great extent to keep you from having to hold down a button on the controller in order to control your character and camera. You can seamlessly use the mouse cursor when necessary, but keep it locked otherwise.
Toggles OFF automatically when:
- Casting mouse spells (Trap Launcher, Ring of Frost, Heroic Leap, etc.)
- Picking up spells, items, macros, glyphs, etc.
- Using R3 or right clicking.
- 'Interact with mouseover' is triggered.
Toggles ON automatically when:
- Changing targets.
- Placing the mouse cursor on your character.
- Interacting with NPCs.
- Looting.
Mouse behaviour can be customized in the interface options to suit your own playstyle. By keeping the mouse cursor centered on screen, it's easy to pick up items, loot mobs and target things in melee range.
Virtual cursor
The virtual cursor is a replacement for the mouse when using the interface. It snaps to clickable and interactive objects across the interface. It is controlled by the D-pad for moving and the right-hand buttons to left and right click. It can be customized to your own liking, and with a bit of know-how, you can integrate other addons to work with the cursor.
Default setup:
- Circle or B - left click
- Square or X - right click
Custom binding manager
ConsolePort does not use the normal keybinding system at all. Initially, a wizard will ask you to click the buttons on your controller in order to bind them. If you're using WoWmapper, these settings are automatically configured for you. Beyond the initial setup, ConsolePort uses its own binding system, which can be found by clicking Controller on the game menu. With any traditional controller, you have roughly 60 possible bindings through the modifier system. You can expand the amount further by using action pages, the built-in utility ring, focus modifier and targeting cursors.
Virtual keyboard
The virtual keyboard is a replacement for typing, if you want to skip using keyboard altogether. This unconventional way of typing has a steep learning curve, but is eventually much faster than moving a virtual cursor across a virtual QWERTY-layout. It is controlled by moving the left stick around while pressing buttons on the right hand side. Using your modifiers will swap out the character sets. The keyboard has 8 circles with 4 buttons inside them, each containing 4 different combinations. It is highly customizable; it has a total of 128 combinations, and you can change any of them to be whatever you want.
For anyone that still uses a keyboard side-by-side with their controller, the keyboard can be disabled; untick it as a separate add-on in the list of installed add-ons, or temporarily turn it off through its own interface panel in the controller configuration.
World interaction
Interacting with the game world can only be done the conventional way; by clicking the mouse or using interaction bindings. ConsolePort cannot aid in looting and clicking items on the ground, apart from keeping the cursor centered and ready to use. This is a restriction designed by Blizzard to prevent gameplay automation and there's currently no API that allows for mouse-free interaction.
Use R3 (right stick button), 'Interact with mouseover' or the dual purpose interact button to click items in 3D-space, loot mobs and interact with NPCs. Constantly clicking the right stick with your thumb might be straining in the long run, which is why it's highly recommended to use mouseover interaction or the configurable interact button instead.
