Now, yes I did read this topic (link), but you all are being bozos (norly)
you read the topic and then completely disregard everything said on it

Badspot himself doesn't need to make it YOU ALL can yes the modding community, yes you.
it depends on what exactly the modders can do with what they're given. not everything is possible in 1990s-era torquescript yknow
to be fair i see two major problems with making oculus rift support for bl
stereoscopic 3d is probably possible if we can find a way to displace the proportions of the screen. i know of at least one addon (rear-view mirror comes to mind) that is capable of placing a second screen overtop of the regular one. this could be used, but the only problem is that we'll have to either a) put two screens completely overtop of the first in order to have two visible, which will severely reduce framerate with any form of shaders, or b) find a way to change the dimensions of the main screen in order to match that of the second one. i'd say that isn't really possible.
the other problem is motion tracking. while the tracking part itself is probably fairly easy to hook up, you have to take into account that the player's camera doesn't handle roll (tilt to the sides), only yaw (horizontal rotation) and pitch (vertical rotation). not to mention the extra animations, coding, and other things that would have to go into making the player's camera roll is just not worth it. in short, i don't think rift support is going to be a thing until we're graced with an engine update, which we also don't need now would be worth it.
