THE oculus_settings.txt CONFIG FILE
The oculus_settings.txt file is located under /Oculus/conf/, and contains all settings pertaining to Oculus. This file is generally maintained by the application but a few advanced settings are changed manually. It is split into 3 sections: ‘GUI Settings,’ ‘Manual Settings,’ and ‘User List.’
GUI settings are set within the application itself, as is the user list. Each line represents a single value, with the setting name, followed by a space, then the value.
If the file is deleted, or ‘restore factory settings’ is selected from initialize.html, it is re-generated with default values, on application restart.
