2 compiler errors with steamVR for unity

I tried to play around with SteamVR, even if i have no dev version yet and waiting eagerly the arrival of the Vive consumer version.

But i got 2 compiler errors with unity 5.4.0b10 right at the beginning:

Assets/SteamVR/Scripts/SteamVR_UpdatePoses.cs(17,36): error CS0103: The name `TargetEyeMask' does not exist in the current context

Assets/SteamVR/Scripts/SteamVR_UpdatePoses.cs(17,24): error CS1061: Type `UnityEngine.Camera' does not contain a definition for `targetEye' and no extension method `targetEye' of type `UnityEngine.Camera' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Is it because i have no HMD attached, or has it other reasons?


Edit:
OK found allready the solution:

You can fix the error like this :
#if !(UNITY_5_4_OR_NEWER || UNITY_5_3 || UNITY_5_2 || UNITY_5_1 || UNITY_5_0)
camera.targetEye = TargetEyeMask.kTargetEyeMaskNone;
#endif

 

Thank you, this worked perfectly.

 

Yes, thank you!

 

Hmm, now I am getting this error:

Assets/SteamVR/Editor/SteamVR_Settings.cs(105,49): error CS0117: `UnityEditorInternal.VR.VREditor' does not contain a definition for `InitializeVRPlayerSettingsForBuildTarget'

Anyone?

 

As its in beta the API's are changing. You need to change the 'InitializeVRPlayerSettings' to one of the other methods. It accepts a BuildTarget and a boolean to activate that platform. Sorry, I cant post the code as im not inside the 5.4 beta right now, ive gone back to Unity 5.3 for development instead.

 

Okay, don't code so had to uninstall for now, thanks.

 

You can safely comment out that line in Unity 5.4.

Hopefully, sometime soon Valve will update their plugin on the store to fix these. The plugin will run fine on Unity 5.0 - 5.3, but in Unity 5.4 it will have the 2 compile errors mentioned (which can be fixed by the instructions in this thread. Valve also has some editor scripts to fix project settings and other things which unfortunately won't run until those compile errors are fixed so it is important to do so.

Not using 5.4 is an easier experience, but there were a lot of performance improvements in 5.4 so it is generally recommended to use it if you can but until Valve updates you will have to fix those errors manually.

 

thanks

 

Version 1.0.6 works with no errors in Unity 5.4 b17, but I'm not seeing my controllers,
must be more I have to do.

 

New version 1.0.9 has just been released. Im going to try this soon with latest 5.4 beta.

 

It should work on 5.4 in editor. If you do a standalone build there is one error though.

Yes, 1.0.9, not 1.0.6.
