    Hello there, i need support from you guys !

    for the Game Overload - a VR Shooter game like "Descent" from the 90s !!!!
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/448850/

    i get in touch with the developers to implement telemetry output and what should i say . they did it :)

    heres the answer from one of the DEVs:

    Quote:
    "i made a small version that should give the telemetry for everything but gforces.
    i have no way of testing it though so let me know if it works.

    to install it you need olmod:

    1. https://olmod.overloadmaps.com/

    2. go to the olmod folder and replace its GameMod.dll with this file
      https://uploadnow.io/f/tv1GGxS , if that upload platform is sketchy i can share it over discord
    If it worked you should see TELEMETRY in the top right corner of the main menu
    it sends to 127.0.0.1:4123"

    can somebody how knows to create plugins check this and make one ?

    iam also willing to provide the voluntary choosen one a Steam key for it ! :)

    We could take a stab at it for sure. Any idea on what gets sent to 127.0.0.1:4123? Like is it a string output, or a structure. Any extra info on this could be helpful.

    It looks like the game does not require VR, so i will run it in desktop mode for testing. In this case I will only need the 'GameMod.dll' file correct? I doesn't look like a demo for the game is available, so if you have a steam key, that would be very appreciated.

    The game plugin may be a bit limited without GForces, but we can always update the plugin when they are available.

    I just talked to the dev and he said this:

    "the format of what it sends is a string of floats separated by commas


    "{0},{1},{2},{3},{4},{5},{6},{7},{8}"

    the order should be:
    Roll, // angles in degrees (-180 to 180)
    Pitch, // angles in degrees (-180 to 180)
    Yaw, // angles in degrees (-180 to 180)
    Heave, // in (rad/sec)
    Sway, // in (rad/sec)
    Surge, // in (rad/sec)
    Gforce.x, // currently just returns 0 till i find a way to calculate a meaningful value Gforce.y, Gforce.z"

    Chill buddy what confusion? This is a forum I bet yobuddy can handle someone else answering the question lol. You made the post on overload steam community last December and I messaged as well 4 days ago and 2 days ago the telemetry output got done. Literally 2 days after I messaged telemetry output got done so I've been following up with it I already talked to another dev for a bass shaker app. If u didnt make this post I would've made it the same day lol. But anyways bud you got it here I'll leave you to it you are the man for the job
