[Lua] bhaptics feasibility
I was looking at the feasibility of getting bhaptics (akin to https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/24486?tab=files&file_id=330782) working with OpenMW VR with Lua scripting. Looking at bhaptics' SDK, their bHapticsPlayer
is listening on a specific port, and one sends a JSON-like (.tact file) payload to the server to get the vest to produce vibration pattern.
I saw the following previous threads that seem to prevent this from working at the moment.
- https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?t=7430&hilit=lua+filesystem
- #6864 (closed) I had the gross idea of writing data to a file to bypass doing networking with library restricted Lua
Am I correct in believing that such a mod is currently impossible with OpenMW's Lua scripting? (I've got another absolutely disgusting idea of printing values to OpenMW's terminal, and using another program to read off of that)
I think Immersive Winds also works in a similar manner in terms of needing network access. So, whatever answer is given here likely applies to that as well. Who doesn't want to feel an ash storm?
