MotionCreator 2 Beta Build 1931

[Danny]

INSTALLATION

NOTE: If you have worked on or created any MCEs in your configs directory of your current build, you'll have to move them to Documents/username/Sixense Entertainment/MotionCreator 2/configs/. This is where you should put all of your mce's. Instead of modifying Sixense created mce's, you should duplicate them into the user configs directory and disable the Sixense created mce.

1. Download the .zip attached to this post. Unzip it using your compression utility. (Free utilities: 7-Zip, WinRar)

2. Run the setup file.

3. Run the MotionCreator.exe.

EXAMPLES

distance_between_controllers Condition
controller P1L, P1R, P2L, P2R
Specify the controller you wish to check. ( P1R checks agains P1L, P1L checks agains P1R, P2L checks against P2R etc)

distance int
The distance in mm the controllers must be apart for the condition to return true

axis x, y, z, magnitude
The axis to use when checking the distance relative to the base


Below, the condition returns true if the right controller is 100mm in front of the left controller down the z axis relative to the base.

<conditions>
  <distance_between_controllers>
    <controller>P1R</controller>
    <filter>normal</filter>
    <distance>100</distance>
    <axis>z</axis>
  </distance_between_controllers>
</conditions>

The following condition returns true when the player puts the left controller to the right of the right controller 100mm. Basically we can check if the player is CROSSING his hands.

<conditions>
  <distance_between_controllers>
    <controller>P1L</controller>
    <filter>inverted</filter>
    <distance>-100</distance>
    <axis>x</axis>
  </distance_between_controllers>
</conditions>

You can use a quick bind as well.

<quick_bindings>
  <controller>
    <which>P1L</which>

    <name>press a</name>
    <distance_between_controllers>350</distance_between_controllers>
    <key>a</key>
        
  </controller>
</quick_bindings>

The same applies to the distance_to_base condtion except of course it checks the specified controller to base station distance.

I found a bug in mceditor. When making a point gesture and selecting controller the button associated with the point gesture will be on the same controller. Changes does not save. If I tick left controller for gesture and right bumper for button it will be saved as left controller for gesture and left bumper.

Otherwise I am very happy for the update.
If hydra would be integrated in batman arkham city it would be cool to move the controllers really far apart when jumping or falling down to start gliding, and moving the stretched out arms up or down to controll the flight (diving or gliding).

Kind regards!

Why does the installer doesn't offer to uninstall the previous version if that is really necessary?

[Leonard Callus]

Regarding the distance, the distance entered is in what units - centimeters?

[axelbernadotte]

Another bug in mceditor. If saving changes of freelook exponent, when i open the binding again to work on it the freelook exponent is reset.

[Ash]

I to find all the settings on the mouse pointer page reset on closing or am i doing something wrong ?

[SuperSoldier]

If you're gonna make the update an exe, don't force us to uninstall the previous version first. Also, please add a feature to make MC stop reminding me of updates. A "don't remind me again" button or checkbox would be nice.

[Ash]

There is a checkbox in preferences on the motioncreator

@axelbernadotte. Thanks for the bug report. I'll get those fixed.

@TiagoTiago & SuperSoldier
I am not intentionally forcing you to uninstall. That is InstallShield's default behavior and I am pretty sure that I need to use the paid version of InstallShield to steamline updates. I will take a look and see if there is something I can do.

@Leonard
The units are in mm

And regarding the distance_between_controllers, why is there the need to add the controller? If its distance between controllers, both controllers are needed for the actions to be done, am I correct?
