More info here: http://forum.free-track.net//index.php?showtopic=507 As for the number of LEDS, i'd recommend one of the 3-point models - they both allow 6 degrees of freedom, so the one you choose is up to your personal preference. I don't play with headphones on too much, so i chose the cap model. And if you want really good tracking, use infrared LEDs and visible light filter (preferably removed IR filter too, but that's not mandatory if LEDs are bright enough) on the camera - this setup works in every lighting conditions, maybe except direct sunlight illuminating the camera. Please consult software and hardware FAQ treads for more info.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 4 Registered on : 22/05/2008 Off line	i tried glovepie ran this on the laptop // this script takes the input from a real TrackIR // and sends it through OSC pie.FrameRate = 120Hz // The port is a random number between about 50000 and 65000 // Just make sure it is set to the same number on the server osc.port = 58436 osc.listening=true osc.ip = "192.168.2.5" // you can use whatever osc names you like here, (we chose netmouse.x) // just make sure they are the same on the server osc.TrackIR.x = TrackIR.x osc.TrackIR.y = TrackIR.y osc.TrackIR.z = TrackIR.z osc.TrackIR.pitch = TrackIR.pitch osc.TrackIR.yaw = TrackIR.yaw osc.TrackIR.roll = TrackIR.roll // EDIT: this is the edited part // here you can change the keys if for some reason you don't want // freetrack on F11/F12 if(osc.recenter=1) key.f11=true else key.f11=false if(osc.deactivate=1) key.f12=true else key.f12=false and in my pc running rfactor and live for speed: // this script reads input from a remote TrackIR and sends to game // The Tir Application on this computer is // controlled from the client computer pie.FrameRate = 120Hz // The port is a random number between about 50000 and 65000 // Just make sure it is set to the same number on the client osc.ListenPort = 58436 osc.Listening = true osc.ip = "192.168.2.2" // the ip of the computer that runs freetrack // you can use whatever osc names you like here, (we chose netmouse.x) // just make sure they are the same on the server FakeTrackIR.x = osc.TrackIR.x FakeTrackIR.y = osc.TrackIR.y FakeTrackIR.z = osc.TrackIR.z FakeTrackIR.pitch = osc.TrackIR.pitch FakeTrackIR.yaw = osc.TrackIR.yaw FakeTrackIR.roll = osc.TrackIR.roll // Joystick2.Button3/5 happen to be my favourite freetrack pushthings, // please replace as desired if(Joystick2.Button5) osc.recenter=1 else osc.recenter=0 if(Joystick2.Button3) osc.deactivate=1 else osc.deactivate=0 debug = " ("+osc.TrackIR.x+","+osc.TrackIR.y+","+osc.TrackIR.z+") "+osc.TrackIR.pitch+", "+osc.TrackIR.yaw+", "+osc.TrackIR.roll i replaced the ips, in the glovepie running on my Game PC i have the responde in the debug box, as the pic: these numbers change when i make the head in freetrack (running on my laptop) move but nothing happens in the game, did i miss something when seting up this? thnkx

Class : Apprenti Posts : 24 Registered on : 21/02/2008 Off line	Hello, I used this script, followed the instructions etc. But I cant get it to work. As soom as I hit RUN on my game PC, I get 5 of the script lines in red, acusing some error. The error is: function or keyname expected, instead of "FakeTrackIR.x" idem >>> y idem >>> z idem >>> pitch and so on... how to solve it? Thanks!
