RiftDotNet exception

I'm using the RiftDotNet libraries and the code from this tutorial: http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2013/12/02/building-a-virtual-reality-game-part-2.aspx

(It's for an old XNA project, not MonoGame.)

But I'm getting a TypeInitializationExeption "The type initializer for 'RiftDotNet.Factory' threw an exception." when the new HMDManager() is created in Initialize().

Is anyone else having this problem, or using RiftDotNet and got it working?

    Hello,

    I am attempting to build RiftDotNet and I get a few errors in the build.

    Spefifically, there are a few references to seemingly outdated functions on RiftDotNet's part when it comes to the "OVR::DeviceClass" object:


    • GetRefCount. RiftDotNet calls this as part of the OVR::DeviceClass object. RiftDotNet is expecting an UINT32 here. Anyone know of the equivalent function or output RiftDotNet should be calling or using?

    • GetYawMultiplier. RiftDotNet calls this as part of the OVR::DeviceClass object. RiftDotNet is expecting an float here. Anyone know of the equivalent function or output RiftDotNet should be calling or using?

    • SetYawMultiplier. RiftDotNet calls this as part of the OVR::DeviceClass object to set a float value here. Anyone know of the equivalent function or output RiftDotNet should be calling or using?


    Thank you for your time.

    Likewise I am receiving the same error.

    The original RiftDotNet repository on GitHub will not compile with OVR SDK 2.5. Clone the latest forked RiftDotNet repository at https://github.com/pszmyd/RiftDotNet instead and point it your local OVR SDK 2.5. I'm working on updating RIftDotNet to support chromatic aberration correction as well as expose the SteroConfig utility classes to C#.

    I've updated RiftDotNet to use the new Oculus SDK 0.3.1 and .NET 4.0 Framework at https://github.com/vogelvision/RiftDotNet. I'm also working on getting an XNA demo working -https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1856355/OVR_031_XNA4_Test.zip. I've put a post at viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8331 with my current progress.
