Support for Skinetic haptic vest on Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades

⚠ This mod uses Skinetic SDK v1.6.2 and must be used with Skinetic vest firmware version 1.2.1 or later. Update your vest with Skinetic Hub if needed.

Description

This mod adds haptic feedbacks to the Skinetic vest on various interactions, including:

  • Player Actions: Grabbing items, gun recoil (various weapons), reloading, belt actions, and melee attacks.
  • Player State: Damage (projectile, melee, explosion, burning), low-health heartbeat, and death.
  • Game Mode-Specific Interactions: Power-ups (heal, explosion, infinite ammo, etc.), Meat Fortress (rocket jump, MediGun), and Return of the Rotwieners (stomach inventory, eating, vomiting).

Usage

Requirements

  • Skinetic Vest
  • H3VR v113 for PC VR
  • Manager

Install

  • Install H3VR
  • Install Manager
  • Install this mod Manager or proceed to the manual installation

Manual installation

  • Download and install H3VR
  • Download and install Mod Manager
  • Install BepInExPack_H3VR Mod Manager
  • Download the mod archive
  • Install the Skinetic Mod
  • Open your file explorer at C:\Users\[YourWindowsUser]\AppData\Roaming\ Mod Manager\DataFolder\H3VR\profiles
  • If you cannot find the AppData folder, enable the Hidden Elements option in Windows
  • In the profiles folder, you should see a folder named after the profil you selected earlier (ex: Default). Open that folder.
  • Go to BepInEx/plugins. It should already exist if you did all the steps above.
  • From the archive extracted earlier, copy and past the folder Skinetic_H3VR (and its content) inside the plugins folder.

Launch

  • Turn on the Skinetic vest
  • Connect it with USB or turn on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (follow the User Manual to pair your device or configure the Wi-Fi connection the first time)
  • Close any other software or game using the vest
  • Start the game Manager using the blue Modded button

Note: It is possible to connect (or reconnect) to the vest in-game when opening the wrist menu.

Settings

After the first start, settings should be available Mod Manager UI.

Skinetic allows you to set:

  • Grab Effect Enable: Default value is true. Set to false to disable haptic effect on grab interactions.
  • Vomit Effect Enable: Default value is true. Set to false to disable the Skinetic haptic effect associated with the in-game vomit action.
  • Default Volume: Controls the global volume of the patterns (in %).

The value can be set from 0 to 250. At 100, the patterns' base volume is preserved and rendered as intended. Between 0 and 99, it's attenuated. Between 101 and 250, the volume is increased, which can lead to distortion of the effects and produce audible noise.

  • Serial Number: The default value is 0. This is the serial number of the Skinetic vest the mod will try to connect to. 0 means the first available Skinetic vest. This setting should only be changed if multiple vests are paired to the PC being used.
  • Boost Percent: int. From 0 to 100. The default value is 0%.

This setting allows the end user to globally boost the effects played on the vest. At 0%, no boost is applied. From 1 to 100%, each pattern is altered to create a more punchy feel on Skinetic. For this mod, keeping this value below 30% will preserve most of the intended feel of each effect.

Edit Haptic Patterns

On the first start, the mod should also create a new folder SkineticPatterns with the different haptic patterns inside the game directory at /steamapps/common/H3VR. The default location is usually C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/H3VR.

Patterns located in /SkineticPatterns/ can be modified using Unitouch Studio.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
