If you use headtracking, you don't wanna play without it ever again... That simple.
Head Tracking
- Thread starter Blind Owl
- Start date
That good eh? Sounds like that time I discovered ladies and forgot about my hand...
Well that escalated quickly.
Was trying some settings in dxtory and made a little movie where I use edtracker. Its pretty immersive!
This is the main reason I have been reluctant to really get into the game yet. After enjoying TrackIR so much in other games it feels like I am flying with blinders on in SC.
It seems like a pretty simple thing to implement, but if it were I'm sure they would have done it already.
Damn. That's freaking sweet. Thanks for the video.
@Bigtimes seems to have a decent setup. I'm green with envy ATM.
You can do 4dof with trackIR too with vjoy atm, I posted the link in this thread

Can't watch that video in the US.
Also. I just tried getting head tracking going in SC today, and I am having an issue.
I can get the FreePIE program to control my mouse on my desktop with no problem, but I can't get it to control the mouse in SC.
I set TrackIR to one-one
I double tap alt to turn on freelook
And then I press Pageup to toggle the script
Nothing changes
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. When I am on the desktop I can press pageup to toggle the script on/off, but it won't accept it in SC. I can only use my actual mouse.
Another weird thing is when I select the SC launcher on my desktop, the head tracking stops also, even if the game is not running.
I reset controls to default in SC, but that didn't help either.

I have Bought Both the Tobii http://www.tobii.com/xperience/ and the Track IR http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/ I will Test them in the Next week and Hopefully my HTC Vive will get here also.
Yes ive been looking at track IR but the only thing I am worried about is my monitor is a bit small - It makes sense to me to use a big monitor so that you are actually looking around the monitor rather than looking away from it?
I use this script in combination with vjoy, works for me:
#maps trackir input to vJoy axes
from System import Int16
def toIntSafe(value):
max = Int16.MaxValue*0.5+2
min =-Int16.MaxValue*0.5+1
if value > max: return max
if value < min: return min
return value
def update():
#range of motion on trackir mapped to max axis
global toggle
if toggle:
xangle = 120
yangle = 80
rangle = 50
yaw = filters.mapRange(trackIR.yaw, -xangle, xangle, -vJoy[0].axisMax, vJoy[0].axisMax)
pitch = filters.mapRange(trackIR.pitch, -yangle, yangle, -vJoy[0].axisMax, vJoy[0].axisMax)
roll = filters.mapRange(trackIR.roll, -rangle, rangle, -vJoy[0].axisMax, vJoy[0].axisMax)
vJoy[0].x = toIntSafe(yaw)
vJoy[0].y = toIntSafe(pitch)
vJoy[0].z = toIntSafe(roll)
else:
vJoy[0].x = 0
vJoy[0].y = 0
vJoy[0].z = 0
if starting:
trackIR.update += update
prev = keyboard.getPressed(Key.End)
toggle = True
current = keyboard.getPressed(Key.End)
if prev != current:
prev = current
if current:
toggle = not toggle
Maybe by the time I'm off exercise in June, CIG will have made head tracking more viable in SC. :) Haha.
Honestly, I still haven't had a chance to try (TEST) any of the info you fine fellows have posted in this thread. Between work and family, time is a precious commodity.
I am looking forward to trying this stiff out though. Eventually. Or dare I say, Soon(tm).
