    I have installed Face Tracker NoIR and cannot bet it running.

    I press start and the only thing I see is the UDP logo in that area,
    even after 5 minutes waitin

    My Settings are:

    1) Downloaded Default Profile

    2)Track Source FaceTrackNoIR UDP , only other option is Tobii Tracker

    3) Set Filter to  EWMS Mk2

    Game Protocol FaceTracker NoIR

    I have installed both parts of game and copied and pasted the supported
    games file

    When I hit start I get no error messages but a long wait with no tracking

    Cheers Steve

    Hello Steve,

    First, you should follow the installation procedure as described here: https://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/manual/installation.htm

    Hi
    Please find attached a screen shot of all my settings:
    What have I done since last post;

    Followed instructions as suggested
    Ran both install files as Admin
    Now have camera in operation
    Copy and pasted games file ( Method I used was to rename file as old and copy and paste downloaded game file )
    Made sure UDP Port is open

    As far as I can tell all was done to requirement's, but I must be missing something
    Any help appreciated
    Cheers Steve

    Hello Steve,

    OK, I think you want to use the webcam to track your face? Then you should select 'faceAPI' as 'Tracker' instead of UDP.

    What game do you want to use facetracking in? You should probably select the FreeTrack protocol (it works for most games).

    It may also be smart to watch some video(s) on Youtube regarding the usage of FaceTrackNoIR in specific games.

    FaceAPI and FreeTrack protocol are not options in the software
    American Truck Simulator is the game.

    Believe me I have watched countless video's on this and followed to the letter, but what I cannot understand is the options everyone else seems to have I do not
    My other options are:

    TrackerSource
    Tobii5

    Game Protocol
    MouseLook
    CSV
    FlightGear

    Also in my Defender program I noticed that all FaceTrackNoir listings have a green tick which means I assume it will be OK
    FaceTrackNoIR it says in both TCP and UDP it is using all Ports which I assume means any Ports.
    Do I need to create a new rule to specify UDP Port 5550

    Did you install the PluginPack, as instructed?

     
  • Steve Clay

    Steve Clay - 2023-04-28

    Yes, Plug in installed with Admin access
    Reading through other forum posts I made sure Camera has access to all programs
    Still no luck, I get the UDP screen but no movement still

    Getting frustrated now
    I have a HP 320 FHD Webcam, could this be a compatibility issue, if so how to find out
    I have also tested my WebCam from the TrackNoIR options menu and it works OK, so now I am more baffled than ever

    Just deleted and re installed everything, camera works, settings all the same
    There must be a setting I am missing somewhere, getting tired of seeing the UDP logo now......

    Cheers Steve

    Did you really install the PluginPack to the same folder as the core program? When installed correctly, the faceAPI tracker and FreeTrack protocol DLLs are in the same folder and are selectable in the Main window.

    Hang on, now I am confused
    Same Folder????

    FaceTrack NoIR is installed to C:\ProgramFiles X86
    Web Cam Util I do not know as no Install Destination option

    Is this correct as I did not have an Install location option for plug in
    Hope this is helpfull
    Cheers Steve

    FaceTrackNoIR does not have to be installed in the folder of the game. It's best to just keep the default installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Abbequerque Inc\FaceTrackNoIR_v200).

    Both the core program and the PluginPack must be installed to the same folder (as the installation procedure states. The core program searches for plugin-DLLs in its installation folder (and nowhere else).
