RaftVR beta patch 4 (Patreon)

This is likely to be the last patch before the public release. Thank you so much for all your feedback and for testing the mod! I couldn't have made it this far without you. It's still not over tho, as I'll keep posting future updates here early before their release to let you try it first. As for this patch, I've added in a couple of settings and fixed a few bugs to get ready for the release.

FEATURES & CHANGES:

- A new setting has been added to toggle the immersive throwing system. Turning it off will make throwable object act like the bow, which means you just gotta point and hold trigger to throw.
- A new setting has been added to increase the force multiplier when throwing. This will allow you to throw at maximum force without moving your arm as much.
- Some changes have been made to the throwing system to feel a bit more consistent in its direction and force calculation.
- The controller rotation speed is now also taken into account for the amount of throwing force.

BUG FIXES:

- Melee attacks now properly register in multiplayer when not hosting the world.
- The black screen that appears when sleeping now properly hides your vision.
- World geometry like water can no longer cover the UI in any circumstance.
- [SPOILER!!!] The overlay that appears when wearing the hazmat suit now properly appears in front of your eyes.

HOW TO UPDATE:

1. Download the mod at the bottom of this post.
2. Replace the mod located in the mods folder.
3. Open the game to play in VR.


HOW TO INSTALL FOR THE FIRST TIME:

1. Disable game theatre in the game's properties. Right click Raft in your Steam library and click "Properties...". In the "General" tab, uncheck "Use Game Theatre while SteamVR is active".

2. Download and install the Raft Mod Loader: https://www.raftmodding.com/download

3. Select your Raft installation directory in the mod loader settings.

4. Press "Play" in the mod loader to make sure it's working correctly. You should see the mod menu appear when reaching the main menu. If you're having trouble with the mod loader, you can ask for help in the Raft Modding Discord server: https://www.raftmodding.com/discord

5. Install the Extra Settings API mod: https://www.raftmodding.com/mods/extra-settings-api
Press ''Install Mod'' to let the mod loader automatically install it for you. If that doesn't work, press ''Download this mod'' instead and drag the mod file into your mods folder which you can open using the mod loader.

6. Download the RaftVR mod located at the bottom of this post and drag it into your mods folder.

7. Press "Play" in the mod loader to open the game modded.

8. In the mod menu, load ExtraSettingsAPI by clicking the plug button. The status should change to "Running...".

9. Make ExtraSettingsAPI load on startup like so:

10. Close the mod menu. You should see a dialog for RaftVR open.

11. Choose the options that you prefer in the dialog box, then close the game when you're done.

12. Put on your headset and open the Oculus App or SteamVR depending on the runtime you chose.

13. Press "Play" in the mod loader. Once you reach the main menu, the game should appear in VR shortly after.

14. You should see a prompt telling you to do a T-pose and press both triggers. Just move to the center of your playspace and face your desired forward direction. Lift both your arms in a T-pose and press both triggers at the same time.

At this point, you're ready to go!

This journey has been awesome so far and I can't wait to show the result to the world. You're all the reason why future players will be able to experience the game in VR with a lot less problems and a lot more features than there were in the very first version I posted here. Thank you again and I hope you enjoy this update!
