Well, if it was meant to be a surprise, you need to not let the cat send emails of the dev's comments..another_commander wrote:Oh dear, the cat's out of the bag...
Just be sure to make it so that keys can be added again later, if new keys get added to Oolite down the track.mossfoot wrote:I'm currently cannibalizing an old keyboard by stripping out unused keys on, painting the used ones in a color coded way, and overlaying the board with a sheet of plastic to hide the gaps, just to make it more control panel like and remove confusion hitting wrong keys.
I think it was also on github...Diziet Sma wrote:Well, if you wanted it kept quiet, you need to not let the cat send emails of the dev's comments..another_commander wrote:Oh dear, the cat's out of the bag...
It's OK, it's not meant to be a secret, otherwise we would not be putting the branch on github - and I am aware of the github comments being visible to anyone who wants to have a look at what's going on.Pleb wrote:I think it was also on github...Diziet Sma wrote:Well, if you wanted it kept quiet, you need to not let the cat send emails of the dev's comments..another_commander wrote:Oh dear, the cat's out of the bag...
Provided the underlying pressure pads below the plastic gap hiders is still there, it should be just a case of clipping a new button back into place, shouldn't it? I love this idea; will have to scrounge an old keyboard and consider the same thing.Diziet Sma wrote:Just be sure to make it so that keys can be added again later, if new keys get added to Oolite down the track.
Heh.. in my case, at the moment it's a serious Kerbal Space Program addiction!Pleb wrote:Unfortunately real life commitments have kept me from being able to play much nowadays but I do try to find the time when possible.
, with FacetrackNoIR with a variety of game titles.Oh, I'm sure I'll end up disappointed with my attempts on FaceTrackNoIR as well, but I'm hoping to get lucky to save me time and effort. For example, with the PS Eye I'd need to open it up and remove the IR filter before I could even think of using it with an IR setup, IIRC. I'm giving myself enough projects as it is, but I'm sure eventually I'll have to come to itGetafix wrote:The primary goal, for the time being, is to add "free view" functionality via keyboard and joystick. The idea is to use any headtrack s/w that can interface with a virtual joystick driver, such as ppjoy, vjoy etc.
Native support of currently available headtrack s/w API is not a priority.
For test and development I use FreeTrack with PPJoy and a custom made IR-set. The FreeTrack site has extensive instructions on how to build an IR-set.
If you want to avoid messing up with camera tweaking and led soldering, PM me and I can provide you with a set that it I also use with E:D.
I was led to the IR solution as for me it seemed to have better results. However, there are dozens of players out there, that achieved better results, than me
The way that most sims do it is to support TrackIR protocol, but also generic joystick headlook, that gives you a bunch of options. I have been playing with some of them lately- and a lot of homebrew stuff is possible cheaply, and works well.mossfoot wrote:Given that hardware limitations are often an issue with people (as in can't afford to buy new hardware), I assume this won't only be an IR based system? I mentioned FaceTrackNoIR before, which would only use a webcam that most people would already have.
