Anybody good with FreePIE scripts?
I'm working on my own DIY Omni Treadmill for Oculus/VR gaming, everything is built and functional (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI8WjaXX1tk for gameplay, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi5DU2JfRhU for a build log)
Previously, I was using FAAST for Kinect to do tracking. It worked, but no matter how much I tweaked my profile the tracking just sucked to be honest. I'd like to try using my Wii Remotes instead after seeing some other scripts using GlovePIE. This one in particular looked to be just what I was looking for: http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments ... lk_ingame/
However, the Oculus Runtime Service has some incompatibility with GlovePIE (as described herehttps://forums.oculus.com/viewtopic.php?t=15216) and literally can't get the two to work together at all. FreePIE seemed like a decent alternative, and doesn't crash or have any noticable problems with Oculus, but I really don't know what I'm doing with FreePIE.
Could anybody help out and come up with a simple script to take WiiMote input and translate it into simple "W" keystrokes? It would be greatly appreciated. I have 2 wiimotes available, one with motionplus and one without if that matters. Would like to pair the wiimote(s) over bluetooth, slide it in your pocket, and start playing. Thanks in advance!

- I'll do you one better, use a dance mat, simply put it underneath the carpet area, that is what I plan to do, will let you know how it works out in a week or so.
- You can ask at the MTBS3D official FreePIE forum. I am sure CyberVillain can convert the walking script in FreePIE, if he is not too busy.
EDIT: I saw the GlovePIE script uses Wiimote.RelAcc , which I am almost sure has no alternative in FreePIE. Wiimote.RelAcc has a built-in attempt to filter out gravity, which is a daunting task and I have not had good results using it in my scripts. I will still check this script out in the weekend and compare the results with my scripts.
