Red Faction - Alpine Faction VR

SolKutTeR · 24. August 2026

Bei der kommenden Doom (2016) PCVR Mod bin ich über das weitere Projekt von Gregor (Cactus Cowboy) gestolpert Red Faction.

Alpine Faction VR
Alpine Faction VR 1.0 beta is a tested virtual-reality implementation for the 2001 FPS Red Faction, built on top of Alpine Faction.

Caution
This is a beta VR release and may still crash or cause visual, input, or gameplay issues on some systems. Back up your files and saves before trying it.

The current release is Alpine Faction VR 1.0 beta.

What's new in 1.0 beta

The bomb-defusal sequence and ending credits are now presented correctly in VR.

The bomb-defusal interface supports left-thumbstick directional input.

Menus and native weapon scopes remain fixed in tracking space until recentering, making them more comfortable to use.

New save games receive an automatic date-and-time name.

Shake to reload is enabled by default with an adjustable 80 cm/s downward-motion threshold.

The laser sight is thinner, and weapon-fire position and direction remain synchronized with the visible laser.

The required bundled VR mod is selected automatically and is included in both release packages.

Current scope
The project adds an optional OpenXR path to Alpine Faction's Direct3D 11 renderer, including stereoscopic rendering, headset tracking, VR-oriented camera and weapon handling, and configurable snap or smooth turning. Singleplayer is the primary target. Client multiplayer is available on a best-effort, unsupported basis; dedicated-server VR is not supported.

An active OpenXR runtime and a working PC VR setup are required. VR mode forces the Direct3D 11 renderer.

Installation

Install a legitimate copy of Red Faction.

Download the latest installer from this repository's Releases page and run it. It locates Red Faction, updates supported retail/digital versions when needed, creates the required directories, and installs Alpine Faction VR in one pass.

Start AlpineFactionVR.exe. VR / OpenXR is enabled by default; open Options if you want to change the turn mode or other VR settings.

Make sure your headset's OpenXR runtime is active, then launch the game.

The launcher automatically selects the bundled VR mod while VR mode is enabled.

An advanced/manual ZIP containing only the mod files is provided with every release. It requires an already prepared Alpine Faction installation; extract it over the Alpine Faction directory and replace files when prompted.

You can also enable VR with the -vr command-line option. Settings are stored in alpine_settings.ini.

SteamVR menu: Hold left A and right A together for 0.6 seconds

Right thumbstick left/right: Smooth or snap turning, depending on launcher setting

Right thumbstick up: Cycle to the previous weapon

Right thumbstick down: Cycle to the next weapon

Fast weapon switch: Optional launcher checkbox for instant cycling; off by default so the native selector remains available for weapons such as remote charges

Right B: Jump

Right trigger: Primary fire

Left trigger: Alternate fire

Right controller movement: Aim and control the weapon

Turrets and vehicles

Mounted turret / jeep gunner aim: Move your head; the turret follows HMD yaw and pitch

Vehicle movement / throttle: Left thumbstick, relative to the vehicle rather than head direction

Vehicle steering / pitch: Right thumbstick

Fire / alternate fire: Touch uses right trigger / right grip plus right trigger; Index uses right trigger / left trigger

Enter or exit: Left grip (Use)

Flashlight / vehicle headlight: Left Y on Touch or left B on Index

Weapon cycling is suspended while mounted so right-stick pitch remains available to vehicles.

Exiting a pitched vehicle such as the submarine clears residual vehicle pitch/roll while preserving the player's heading, keeping the on-foot horizon level.

Precision and sniper scopes

Alternate fire retains Red Faction's native zoom, reticle, and scope mask for the Precision Rifle and Sniper Rifle.

While zoomed, the completed native game image is presented on an OpenXR quad that remains fixed in tracking space until the scope closes or tracking is recentered.

Closing the scope, switching weapons, opening a menu, or leaving gameplay immediately restores normal stereoscopic VR.

Menus and interaction

Usable objects—including buttons, switches, doors, and vehicles—follow the physical HMD viewing direction.

Interaction overlays and activation use the same target.

Main, pause, and shared VR menus open upright in front of the player and remain fixed in tracking space until recentering.

Controller menu raycasting uses the currently displayed menu pose.

The bomb-defusal sequence and ending credits use the same VR-compatible quad presentation; the bomb interface accepts left-thumbstick directions.

Room-scale movement

Physical HMD movement uses Red Faction's native swept-sphere world collision with a 16 cm head volume, including ordinary walls, invisible collision faces, and mover geometry.

When room-scale movement reaches a wall, the complete tracked rig—both eyes, hands, weapon, muzzle, and laser—is pushed back to the last safe position.

Smooth and snap turns pivot around the HMD's current physical room position. Walking away from the last calibration point no longer makes thumbstick turning orbit that old center.

Turrets and vehicles keep their mounted movement rules and do not receive the on-foot room-scale collision correction.

Opening or closing a VR menu automatically recalibrates tracking yaw, physical height, and the room-scale origin from the current HMD pose.

Headset-runtime recentering, including the Meta-button hold gesture, preserves the current game-space heading and tracked rig alignment instead of snapping back to native body yaw.

Buttons, switches, doors, vehicles, and other Use targets follow the HMD view direction. The interaction overlay and the actual activation query use the same tracked target.

Removing the VR build
Reinstall the regular Alpine Faction release to restore its original files.

Building from source
This project builds for Win32 with Visual Studio and CMake. Configure with OpenXR enabled, then build the Release configuration:

cmake -S . -B build-afvr -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A Win32 -DAF_ENABLE_OPENXR=ON
cmake --build build-afvr --config Release

The pinned Khronos OpenXR SDK is fetched during configuration, and the 32-bit loader is linked statically. See docs/BUILDING.md for more information.

Creating release packages
After building the OpenXR-enabled Release configuration, create both supported release artifacts with:

.\tools\make-vr-release.ps1 -Version "1.0beta" -BuildDir ".\build-afvr\bin\Release"

The script always creates a basic ZIP and, when Inno Setup 6 and the patch payload in setup/patches/output are available, a one-step installer. Use -SkipInstaller when only the ZIP is needed.

Ich hatte mal "Red Faction Guerrilla" gespielt und hatte daran auch viel Spaß, glaube das könnte in VR gut sein. Das hier ist mir glaube ich zu altbacken
