    Ok here goes as a guide.

    Using an Xbox 360 Kinect (do not connect to comp until told.) If you want to use a regular webcam go to step 7.

    1. Make sure you have the correct Kinect, you need to have the power adaptor that looks a bit like this to be able to plug it into a PC.

    2. Download the SDK and Tool Kit for Kinect from Windows and install.

    3. Now plug in the kinect, windows should install all the drivers (may take few mins)

    4. Test the kinect, start the "Developer Toolkit Browser" this will be in your start menu under SDK For kinect.

    5. Goto the tools and run one of the Kinect Explorers (not the studio) this will let you see if its working and adjust the angle of the camera.

    6. close it all down and install this this is what will allow the Kinect to be used as a webcam. You will probably need to restart the comp first and it normally starts by default on startup.

    7. Now that you have a webcam goto this nifty wee thing you also need this the demo will do and i just put rubbish in the name address etc

    8. Now start your webcam, launch Facetracker demo, you will see how it works here. Then when ready start the FaceTrackNoIR, from this you can adjust all sorts of settings.

    9. Testing- Click start on the FaceTrackNoIR, you should see a little picture of your self with the facial tracking. Start Arma and just create a editor with a single man. Once in game you can goto options, controls, and controllers you will see 2 regarding a joystick controller already enabled. Enable the one called Track IR, the Freetrack dont seem to work well.

    Start a Mission and mess around!

    Im still adjusting it but it seems good, it is a little laggy for me atm but im sure i can change that somewhere.

    ... because as of today this Alpha has been rendered completely unplayable by hackers and viruses on the servers.

    I DEMAND TO KNOW WTF YOU ARE DOING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I DID NOT SPEND 20 QUID TO FIX DAMAGE CAUSED BY IDIOTS AND PISS-POOR SECURITY ON THE SERVERS.

    Come on. Stop ignoring these posts and give us answers !

    Its an alpha....you played £20 to play a game before release and help report issues/feedback. If you arent happy that a non-finished game is broken then fool on you for buying an Alpha.....

    Hey,

    Happy you like our software :) Version 1.8 will come some time, maybe not exactly soon. But there's much new functionality already in place, including working Linux support!

    Operating Kinect as a webcam seems like a waste, though. For a sophisticated device, not to use depth data? While we have HQ meshes made with depth-scanners for tracking purposes, it'd certainly be very exciting to try out something new...

    I dont mind helping test btw?

    Ah i didnt realise you were part of the team, the kinect comes from my xbox 360, didnt see the point in buying a webcam when i had a potential webcam already on place!

    Yes i did think the Kinect has more features which could enable better software.

    The trick is to use depth info as a tracking source :) There's some code in PCL called 'KinfuTracker', but it runs on a GPU due to extreme need for point cloud data... It literally uses thousands of points, while my HT tracker uses 100 or less.

    Havent got a clue what your on about lol! I know nothing about this technology.

    I have managed to get some thing to work heres my guide from the VOLCBAT forums-

    Hi guys, i have Arma II steam version, im on the Manhatten mission. When i seem to get near vishnoye as part of the mission, i suddenly hear about 3-4 gunshots with the last round an instant kill, now this happens at all sorts of random times near vishnoye, including straight after jumping out a helicopter, even going prone straight away does not deter the rounds.

    from begining of mission i have -

    Gone to the contact to arrest, house blows up. Done

    Gone to arrest the woman, take to LZ, defend, chopper blows up main ChDk camp, picks up contact. Done

    Goto the town to search for weapons cache, speak to priest, go to next town speak to NAPA, give intel about possible ChDK west of Vishnoye.

    Then i have had a number of things happen when attempting to head to vishnoye -

    Walk the whole way from the NAPA informants, get to outskirts, shooting thing

    Drop off from Heli about 300m away, walk towards town the shooting thing happens

    Land right beside town, shooting straight after landing

    If I Actually manage to get into Vishnoye, see ChDk running around as friendlys? Shooting results in own team killing me. Eventually i get shot as above.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    I have restarted mission countless times, done the objectives above in dif orders and its driving me nuts.

    Its not a sniper (the gunshots are always close), its always on the 3rd shot im hit and dead, i want to say it is one of my team but i hear no order etc and i havent seen them shoot at me.

    This happens on Vanilla ArmaII and i have tried with ACE also and always same result.
