Walk-Run - Improved Oculus touch controls for Sprint

Added a "Run" button in VR to provide a third speed option between walking and sprinting.

Playing VR with very low movement speeds does prevent nausea, but there are times when you need to move quickly, and the overly stiff sprint system doesn't do much to eliminate that.

This mod helps you set the run button to move faster without the limitations of sprinting.

/u/DickDastardlyUK's Improved Touch Controls for Skyrim is a more intuitive control scheme, so I built on that.

I'm mostly sharing the changes I've made for myself. If anyone wants to use or conceptualize this idea, please go ahead. Credit is not really necessary.

If you use another control scheme, or don't use Oculus, please read the instructions below to learn how to set it up manually.

REQUIRED .INI TWEAKS

(Recommended) Bilago’s VR configuration tool

[Controls]

bAlwaysRunByDefault = 0 (otherwise the button will run while you hold it down)

fMovementSpeedPercent = 1 (VR movement speed slider controls walking/running speed)

WalkSpeedsAdjusted.esp

Placed near the end of the loading order.

Without this feature enabled, walking will feel much slower. Slightly adjusted the movement speed of playable races:

About +40% when walking, -10% when running, no change when sprinting.

Also fixed a bug where werewolf/vampire lords were unable to sprint from walking mode.

If it still feels too slow even with WalkSpeedsAdjusted.esp enabled, use the console command

Help "VR Speed ​​Boost"

Find the ID of the VR Speed ​​Boost perk and add it to your character using the following command:

player.addperk xx0012c6

Where xx is the loading order number of WalkSpeedsAdjusted.esp

Manual setup instructions

Step 1:

Under Data\Interface\Controls\PC there is a text file called "controlmapvr" which can be edited to remap the controls to different buttons.

(Default files and neat files in "Miscellaneous Downloads" if needed)

In the appropriate controller column, change "Run" from 0xff to the "Run" it is currently mapped to.

Step 2:

Set up a new Sprint button if needed. Combinations are allowed but should not overlap with the run button.

Step three:

Set button combination for "toggle always run". This isn't required, but it might help if Skyrim switches back to its default running state for whatever reason. This can sometimes happen when holding "Run", using the loading gate, and releasing "Run" before the new unit loads.

Playing VR with a very low movement speed does wonders for preventing nausea, but sometimes you need to move fast, and the overly rigid sprinting system doesn't cut it.

This mod helps you set up a run button as a faster movement speed, without the restrictions of sprinting.

/u/DickDastardlyUK's Improved Touch controls for Skyrim is a much more intuitive control scheme, so I built this off of that.

I'm mainly just sharing the change I made for myself. If anyone wants to use this idea or build upon it, go ahead. Credit isn't really necessary.

If you use another control scheme, or don't use oculus, please read the instructions below on how to manually set this up yourself.

(Recommended) Bilago's VR Configuration Tool

bAlwaysRunByDefault = 0(otherwise the button will make you walk when held)

fMovementSpeedPercent = 1  (VR Movement Speed slider controls the walk/run speed)

WalkSpeedsAdjusted.esp

Place near end of Load Order.

Without this enabled, walking will feel much slower than it should be. Slightly adjusts playable races' movement speeds:

~+40% to walking, ~-10% to running, and NO CHANGE to sprinting.

Also fixes a bug where Werewolves/Vampire Lords can't sprint from walk mode.

If you still feel too slow even with WalkSpeedsAdjusted.esp enabled, use console command

help "VR Speed Boost"

to find the ID of the VR Speed Boost perk, and add it to your character with:

player.addperk xx0012c6

where xx is the load order number for WalkSpeedsAdjusted.esp
