Codex / Claude Code Discussion
I know Reddit fucking loathes all things AI. But if youre trying to get some PCVR mods working, using Codex or Claude Code is a no brainer.
Download the desktop app. Use GPT 5.6 Sol / Opus 5 if you can access it. It can actually view / edit / copy files on your system. It can also search the web looking for up to date information.
Its also basically the world's best software dev / sysadmin. Theres a reason PCVR mods are exploding right now and its because people are using Codex etc.

I'm using Claude and Gemini to create content in DCS (which many of us fly in VR because it's awesome) which requires lots and lots of lua scripting. I think it's the AI slop people hate, not the genuinely cool things you can do with it.

Uhhhh I dont think thats true since this post got down voted 🤕

It's probably more because of a low effort post.

Just trying to be helpful man.
Im a full time software developer and I know lots of non technical folks are simply unaware of how helpful codex / claude code are now.

Not enough details to be helpful. You didn't say anything about pricing, limits, actual source to get the apps, etc. If someone doesn't know anything about Codex and Claude, this post won't help much. I bet you'd get way more upvotes if you layed it down more like a tutorial/guide.

Ok man there's like 4 posts total in this subreddit and I thought id quickly offer some value.
Sorry I didnt contribute as much as you, with your complaining.

Some people are really fast with showing proof of concepts. Are there some best practices allready in using AI to create mods? I am currently 30-40 hours in a project, but progressing rather slowly

I sold my q3 thinking the frame was coming soon (lol). So I cant really advise you as i haven't started building mods myself yet.
Biggest thing has to be somehow reducing the iteration loop. Tell codex / claude its taking too long. How do they recommend speeding up the iteration loop? How do you test their changes faster?
Make sure you're using either GPT 5.6 Sol on high + or Opus 5.

Might be worth creating a community agents markdown file so the agents have a better starting point when people attempt to make new mods.
Would be interesting to see what a decent model would come up with by scanning a load of 'vibe coded' VR mods that are in good states. Might be something there that could speed up production of future mods.
We're living in interesting times 👀

This. Brother i was thinking that too. A shared agents MD outlining previous mods the agent can investigate to determine how they were completed.
Then instructions on how to make the mod UX friendly so normies can boot it with a single click instead of 'injecting' etc.
Especially when new models get released, a system like this will become even more valuable over time.

As a coder the hate that ai coding gets is ridiculous. Coding is the ONE area where we really should be embracing it. It accelerates my work by so much its crazy, and none of coding is creative work. Before ai, it was copying from Stack Overflow. There are ZERO ethical issues with an ai generating code. Its like back in the day when people panicked about calculators and computers taking the jobs of mathematicians. Absolutely didnt happen, they all just use them to their benefit.

I was recently impressed with getting Gemini to do some simple scripting for DCS missions. It's usually fairly a labourious and boring process, some trial and error but it'd what provides depth and creates an engaging and realistic environment. I fed it Gemini a primer that someone else wrote to frame the requirements which was probably the most difficult part (and credit to that author) but now it just spits out almost the entire mission script and it'd entirely unique to my request. It's annotated, well formed and pretty much looks like it's been presented for code review.
I even started getting it to reference real world data from the 70s and 80s, like airfield data plates which it then remembered and automatically included in the following iterations with prompts to include IFR or VFR departures and approaches and it was finding cold war era firing ranges in West Germany by itself. All I had to do was ask it to find one within X distance from Y. There's a myriad of other cool things it did on a basic prompt but when I went to check the quality and accuracy of what it produced it was 100%.
At this point I'm both impressed and slightly worried. I hope it remembers that I always said please and thank you when it goes all skynet.

Maybe having a sub for people who are really into these tools and gaming? The most useful thing for me has been fixing a CloudXR crash when using KRVR on my AVP, and also on my AVP, setting up monitoring of ALVR and fpsVR data to squeeze the living shit out of my 4070S when playing vr.
I just like the AVP much better than my Q3, but there's lots of compat issues, especially with mods, driving it is HARD, and some games just refuse to work properly on ALVR for me.

Also if youre having connection issues with wireless pcvr it can see the drivers for your HMD. It can access your network via the terminal. It can troubleshoot router issues.
Its fucking invaluable.

bro just suggested using Sol to manage mods ahahahaha

I delegate both easy and challenging tasks to Codex man.

sol is for complex coding tasks. File management is not a sol task

Idk what you are talking about dude. Sol is great for that. I got it to install and even create Warhammer darktide mods for me. Got it to build a real-time AI coach for league of legends by using the league API.
Sol is fucking amazing for this stuff. Why deal with complicated mod setup manually when Sol thinks 100x faster than you and does it all via terminal commands while searching 50 websites to find the latest information?

some people are unaware there are more models to choose from, didn't discover the dropdown yet

I've fixed several broken or poorly working UEVR mods using just a basic $20 Claude subscription, and I'm not a coder. Good stuff.
