Head Tracking with Cliffs of Dover

[Wolf_Rider]

I guess that just confirms you haven't and have no intention of trying

[norulz]

Now I understand why you were so confident when you said you don't work for NP... your dad does. I apologies if I troubled your youth... bye.

now you start on family?

Guys, i support the use of freetrack because i like having extra options for everybody. What i don't support is insults to further the cause.

The .dll is naturalpoint software, NP has the right to protect it and in that regard W-R is correct.
On the other hand, freetrack and other alternative headtracking interfaces would use their own API if the game developers provided a generic 6-axis interface for head tracking, this is where you are correct.

The way i see it neither of you is 100% right, you are both 50% correct and that's it. However, the more you resort to personal attacks and name calling, the more you weaken your position because you give the impression that it's either due to a certain obsession or an inability to present real arguments instead of hurling insults.

I support ALL head tracking methods, i want naturalpoint to stay in business (because if i have the money to spare i will buy one again, it's smoother and faster) and i want to see CoD work well with all of them.
That being said, the way some of the freetrack fans post in this thread is just as bad in trying to force an opinion on others as the trackIR fans they are supposed to be "fighting" against, lighten up already

hm... I've just hopped to WolfRider's favorite source for "proving" FT's hacking of NP work... and the thing that amazes me that no one, so far, noticed that Freetrack works with it's own interface in IL2, according to that site. is it so hard to expect any less from COD, then?

Could you go into more detail on the "how it works", please?


*Edit

There is a method that quite a few games use and have been for a while now which could be hooked into, and that is Mouse Look (aka Freelook). It contains all the elements people are asking for... and all that is needed is a method of hooking the webcam into that

[Vasilj_Mitu]

sorry mate, I can't. just quoting "the source", that's all. personally I'm using the stuff for playing (IL2 1946 atm only), not for loosing sleep over the fact how it works.

Even that isn't needed in the specific case of Freetrack - it is easy to implement in any game, with OWN .dll, OWN interface.

A generic and open standard for HT will be great too!

And - please - don't feed so much the pathetic NP fake troll - these "marketing things" came in waves over forums to lead the threads to a close...

Let's just laugh!!!

Just remember LoBiSoMeM, it takes a troll to know one.
As Blackdog said, namecalling doesn't help your cause.

If you believe that this cause is "mine", you really understand nothing...

People think small. People think that EVERYBODY is looking just for yourselves... That's not the way to see the HT question: the need to MORE OPTIONS than just TIR. It's will improve tha access to quality HT for much more consumers. As a MP player, I like to see a lot of players with good input devices.

The problem is that all us involved with these questions are tired of the same LIES of NP, the omission of game devs, closed topics, etc...

It's a shame that simms consumers don't get involved with these questions, really.
