H3VR SimHaptics

Simulation-inspired bHaptics feedback for Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. Developed and playtested with TactSuit Pro and TactSleeves, balancing localized detail with satisfying intensity.

Installation

Start bHaptics Player and connect your devices.
Install H3VR SimHaptics through r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager. BepInEx and Sodalite install as dependencies.

The bHaptics communication library is included.

For manual installation, first install BepInExPack_H3VR and Sodalite with their dependencies. Copy this ZIP's BepInEx folder into the game directory, merging folders. Both SimHaptics and Bhaptics.Tact.dll must remain together under BepInEx/plugins/SimHaptics.

What you can feel

Recoil shaped by cartridge and shotgun load, firing/support arms, and shoulder contact.
Full-power muzzle blast, minigun body vibration, and nearby launcher/mortar/cannon concussion.
Directional explosions with distance and cover attenuation, plus expanded Boomskee reach.
Localized damage signatures, melee impacts and a dramatic death effect.
Chainsaw, flamethrower and supported special-weapon feedback.
Eating, vomiting, distinct powerup cues and a spreading healing wave when a health cube actually restores health.
Subtle mechanical handling cues and soft opposite-side body responses.

Combat takes priority over optional power and handling cues. Supported events follow the game's behavior; some special or custom weapons may still need additional support. Vibration conveys an impression of recoil and pressure rather than reproducing their physical forces.

Settings in VR

Open Wrist Menu > Spawn Tools > Spawn Mod Panel, then select H3VR SimHaptics in the mods/configuration list.

Drag the sliders with your controller pointer and trigger. Changes apply live and save automatically.

Choose Weakest, Weaker, Standard, Stronger or Strongest to fill the actual strength sliders with a balanced preset. You can fine-tune them afterwards. Apply selected preset reapplies the selected values. Presets retain your feature switches, orientation, timing and range settings.

Reset to defaults restores every setting; click again within five seconds to confirm. Standard is the tuned starting point. bHaptics Player's device gain applies separately, so high external gain can reduce perceived distinctions at the strongest settings.

You can also edit BepInEx/config/local.h3vr.simhaptics.cfg while H3VR is closed.

Troubleshooting and compatibility

Check bHaptics Player connection, the selected modded profile and General > Enabled. BepInEx's log should contain SimHaptics 0.26.0 ready. Startup errors and missing hooks remain logged; ordinary feedback events do not generate debug messages.

If front left/right feedback is reversed, try Calibration > Mirror Front. It does not change the back panel or sleeves.

Compiled and checked against H3VR experimental build 25549552 (Unity 5.6.7). Game updates may change supported hooks. Hardware testing has focused on TactSuit Pro and TactSleeves; other compatible devices are not independently verified.
