Spring RTS Engine

Here's the files. Still don't have the other camera mode down.

I think this is pretty good for my first script in Lua. Nice language, I might add it to some of my own projects.

I've got a working pair of scripts, one in Python using the COM interface to get data from the spaceball and give a simple gui for showing it's working; The other is the Lua script that controls the camera in Spring. Man it's tough to find info on the camera interface, i had to nose around in the so...

Thanks for the heads up on the head tracking widget, that's awsome.
Makes it easier to bind the spaceball into other apps too using script languages.

I'll get working on it as soon as I have some time (heh). I think it'd be an awsome thing to have.

Reading some online, the spaceball 4000FLX can be set up as a joystick. Other versions of the hardware can not (though a couple earlier ones might be supported). Under windows, not quite as lucky. It looks like simple code in their examples, but it isn't a joystick or input device. I can't seem to f...

Understood. It was just a request and I understand not many people have these devices. I don't have any development systems up and running but I guess I could possibly set one up. Is something like this possible in Lua or through a plugin? any idea how hard it would be ignoring the SDK side of things?

I'ld like to see integration of the 3dconnexion spaceball series of devices. I know the drivers are available under both windows and linux. Under windows it might be easier just supporting the USB devices (spaceball 5000USB and latter) as the Serial drivers are no longer supported by 3dconnexion. I'...
