Nö. Das war pervers teuer. Und das noch von nem Laden, der nur Zeug verkauft, was sonst keiner wollte xD

Demo Star Citizen with OpenTrack Neuralnet head tracking plugin (4k 30fps)(on Linux PC) by bekopharm in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Can't tell for sure either. ~~It~~ Lag feels slightly higher but perfectly fine for trying some head tracking without investing in additional hardware. This depends a lot on the processing power, of course. Cam doesn't matter that much. It seems to read with only ~540 px width or something and any webcam of the last decade should manage ~50 fps with that 🤔

I'm also uncertain what the current penalty is for running this on Wayland via gamescope, which is really bringing my rig to it's limits.

Uh oh… hope that one works better on Linux.

Haha yeah, it's amazing what you can get when throwing lots of money at something. Or not. 🙃 I just love highly individual simpits and the creativity involved.

You game with a controller, my game is the controller. We're not the same. by bekopharm in c/[email protected]

Not going to defend ED but this type of game is usually more about the journey especially with friends. Yes, the grind is unreal and also nothing for me which is why I almost completely ignored engineering so far. I do enjoy other parts of the game though.

100h? My would you look at my SC playing time: just 57h and half of that is walking back to the spaceport xD

Oh btw that'd also be the point where I'd pour money into this. That's my sweet spot xD

CIG may gift us an API

So say we all =)

In game events, best way to track? by bekopharm in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm kinda old school so I enjoy my news via RSS feed when possible. Sadly CIG broke that years ago and never bothered to fix it (just like everything else 🤪).

Anyway, a hero stepped in and made this: https://leonick.se/projects/rsi-feed

Is it possible to change ownership of a community on Lemmy? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Asking because I remember similar from e.g. Okuna where a shiton of communities were created during the gold rush but many were left unmoderated for months until they eventually ceased.

And at what point would a transfer be considered by staff?

Demo No Man's Sky with Headtracker and HOTAS (on Linux PC) (tube.tchncs.de)

Yes, No Man's Sky does only support one gamepad. Single digit. This gamer doesn't care. Here have headtracking and HOTAS in NMS. Vanilla. No mods. Thanks OpenTrack, AntiMicroX and MoltenGamepad ❤️

Mebbe I'll do a proper recording someday: https://tube.tchncs.de/w/1NwcNBeyYEagNwZKGVQ21w

Wondering about that button box? Didn't use it in this demo but you can find plenty more examples on the channel and more details on my blog: https://beko.famkos.net/category/simpit/

How it's done? NMS does support a gamepad but it also reads/maps all gamepads to a single device. It makes no difference between multiple gamepads!

This leaves me with a very limited amount of possible buttons on the HOTAS after mapping that to one virtual gamepad using MoltenGamepad (I usually split that one up into multiple gamepads for braindead games).

So for additional buttons I used AntiMicroX to map the rest as keyboard presses.

Doing so I noticed that NMS does "look-around" on the right stick and this is where OpenTrack comes into the play. It offers a joystick output (using evdev) and that is also just… a gamepad! Needs some remapping though to get pitch and jaw to the proper axis for NMS. This is done via SDL env (basically what Steam does under the hood but boy their GUI for that sucks): SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG="000022e86f70656e747261636b206800,opentrack-to-nms,rightx:a3,righty:a4,platform:Linux,crc:e822,"

And there you have it. NMS with my trusty old X52 Pro and a DIY headtracker for 5 bucks 🤓

PS: I'm aware that the recording quality sucks. This was very spontaneous with a webcam sitting on my chair. I basically just finished my happy dance that this started working properly and decided to smash that recording button. PC was not even in "gamemode".

I guess that counts as simpit too: https://tinandjar.com/2023/01/09/feel-game-gun-recoil/ 🤣

Hell of a DIY controller. Also no idea how that monitor survives this onslaught.
