05:18.04brlcadruskie: deployment management
05:19.36brlcadso the package can be built no matter what the platform environment or configuration is, no matter what is already installed
05:21.11brlcadif the system already has the dependency, then all that is "wasted" is a little extra download time and disk space -- insignificant compared to the long-term cross-platform savings and flexibility

14:40.49randomparticlei'd like a world weapon to fire 1000 bullets a second
14:41.06randomparticlebzfs crashes when i use small values for the delay
14:41.35randomparticleit can't even manage 20 per second
14:59.19blast0071000 per second? why on earth do you want that?
15:00.10blast007(regarding forcing spawn positions, a plugin can do that)  (and regarding checkHit being "broken" in 2.0.x.. does it work right in 2.99.x?)
15:11.19randomparticlenot entirely sure about checkHit in 2.99.x. i did see some similarish (could be identical) code kicking about
15:11.39randomparticlei've run an experiment to test my thinking
15:11.41randomparticleresults:

15:11.52randomparticlefps 240.000000 Z 1.651825 hits 156
15:12.02randomparticlequick explanation:
15:12.17randomparticlei'm using a world weapon to fire shots at a jumping tank
15:13.17randomparticlethe Z figure is the highest a tank is above the ground when it gets hit for the given fps value
15:13.35randomparticlethe hits figure is the number of shots that hit the tank
15:14.24randomparticleas you can see, hittability is severely affected by framerate
15:14.39blast0072.99.x will run multiple simulations if the FPS is lower
15:14.51randomparticlebut set to 10, i was told
15:15.32brlcadI'd be doubtful that the server could handle the underlying network load for 1000 shots/sec
15:15.52randomparticleeven locally? :)
15:16.15brlcadyeah, at some point it's going to saturate how much work the server can do in a given pass through the run loop
15:16.20randomparticleok
15:16.49brlcadif we had some sort of "use a unix socket if local" mode, that might work
15:16.52randomparticlein the end i used 3 weapons firing 10 shots/sec each and bounced the tank 20 times

16:18.28randomparticlei ran the test on bz 2.99:
16:18.30randomparticlefps 30.000000 Z 2.625601 hits 329
16:18.30randomparticlefps 60.000000 Z 1.961891 hits 209
16:18.54randomparticleso it would appear there is a problem there too
16:21.31blast007patches welcome
16:30.26BulletCatcherSpawn zones plus using freeCtfSpawns in the "world" section of the bzw file gives complete control over where tanks spawn.

23:24.48blast007Don't think our code differentiates between left and right modifier keys, if that's what you mean
23:24.59KTLidd, what i wanted
23:26.59KTLis making a shortcut for "confine mouse", probably "mousegrab"

23:35.25KTLweird, something like 'bind 1 down "set mousegrab false"  ' should work'

23:43.14KTLno
23:44.47KTLnot 'off' too
23:50.08Happy_Alicein my cfg file, it is "set mousegrab false". It is working. It is for the 2.0.X
23:50.39KTLyes, it also says similar to me, but i try to bind it to a key
23:50.52KTLso that i can toggle it on or off faster
23:51.24KTLthat configfile is quite cool, access to variables, possibility of doing calculations in it
23:51.56Happy_Alicemaybe...bind the key with the menu
23:53.09Happy_Alicei had such a problem. I tried to bind a key for a command and it was working only when i had used the input key menu of the client..
23:53.50KTLow ... so it might work when both the right menu and the set mousegrab false are done
23:54.15KTLand the menu should be turned off too then ... weird

23:56.20Happy_Aliceyes i have
23:56.46KTL(i just manually opened that menu, the combination with my bind key did not help)
23:56.47Happy_Aliceu mean? how to add a menu entry for your key binding?
23:58.35KTLquickkeys not helping either
23:58.45KTLeuh sorry, i probably misunderstood, it's not so important
