Guardian Boundary Editor - Customize/straighten your boundaries

[Wrinkly]

Useful utility found on reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/6iezwq/guardian_boundary_editor_customizestraighten_your/

Did you ever wanted to customize your guardian boundary?

Maybe just straighten those damn shaky lines, or even add some markers pointing north/south.

I present you: Guardian Boundary Editor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCbu95CN--Q

Features:

• Your boundary is made of points. Customize it by moving, deleting or adding new points.
• Edit your play area independently from your boundaries, but it'll always be an axis-aligned rectangle.
• Export and import your custom boundaries.
• Create and restore backups of your Oculus settings, from the Oculus client, in case anything goes wrong.
• Create visual markers with Touch controllers at precise positions, them move your points accordingly (similar to SteamVR chaperone setup).

Quick way to just straighten it (also shown in the video): drag select everything, use alt + click to unselect 4 corner points, press delete to remove all the others, and then tweak it as you like. Don't forget to fit your play area accordingly!

This is very experimental, so use it with caution. Please help me test it further and let me know if it works well for you or not. Any feedback is very welcome!

I think I might have to give this a go, the squigley lined box I created does annoy me

Not got around to trying it yet but it sounds as though 'Export and import your custom boundaries' maybe a nice way to swap between seated and room scale setups. I find that while seated at the PC the Rift still wants me in the center of the room scale play area.

(the squiggles also irritated me)

Between this for Guardian

"Chaperone Tweak" (https://github.com/Xavr0k/ChaperoneTweak/releases) for Steam VR Chaperone

and the additional chaperone options you get with "OpenVR Advanced Settings" (https://github.com/matzman666/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings) you can really get everything perfect.

EDIT: Although I've not used it there's also "Guardian2Chaperone" (https://github.com/Sgeo/Guardian2Chaperone) which basically does what it says on the tin. Useful if you want to make them both the same.

The program is good - just remember to run it as an Administrator otherwise you can't import your changes into Oculus Home.

If you forget then you haven't wasted your time - you'll get an error message when trying to apply the new boundary, so just save changes, then close program, run again as an Administrator, load your saved file and then apply.
