Message from Deengee. He asked me to post it:

With regards to “eyes looking upwards” or “strange hand movement” as noted by @Indrek in the previous message.

I believe that you missing the perspective (as in graphical projection of image due to camera placement of @VelaRUS).

Look at his photo and note where the webcam is located relative to monitor, keyboard and himself. The webcam is under the monitor on the same level as mouse pointing upwards and to the right (relative to the shutter). This means that all movements done by the guy will be exaggerated towards the angles that are the “farthest” from the camera (viewer) POV.

@Indrek, you have your own webcam setup. You can easily test it (that the scientific part of proving something, doing the same thing and comparing the result, isn’t it?).

• place the camera, monitor, keyboard and mouse like the image posted
• sit in the same position so your head and shoulders are visible (quite likely you’d be sitting closer to the monitor, than you do now)
• run D2, as @VelaRUS noted, in “windowed fullscreen @800x600”, meaning that you’ll have D2 all over your screen as a huge square
• and record yourself doing same things - looking at the mob HP at the top of the screen, at your mana and HP, upper part of the shop (e.g. Ormus when hunting for the TP staff) and so on
• move you hand over the keyboard doing the esc+… sequences
• compare the result


This applies to anyone with a webcam, actually. Very easy to reproduce.
