nelg pointed out that I should enable ladderlog_write_player_colored_name and use that instead it sends the [email protected] along with the normal playername including colors without the @somewhere so now i store both in an array, use the 1st one with @ for things like add_score_player etc and t...

is where i try out crazy stuff before i finalize and put a server online just started to write a pacman script but initial test have confirmed that I need to upgrade my server hardware as that poor old pi model 2 cant handle all the maze dots (zones) without getting extremely laggy although it gets ...

sorry wrong post

wouldnt this work to detect if approaching zone perimeter ? distance=sqr(abs(bikeX - zoneX)) + sqr(abs(bikeY - zoneY)) - sqr(zoneRadius) zoneDetectRange=sqr(metres) to avoid zones from outside if distance < zoneDetectRange then turn to stay inside zones from inside if -distance < zoneDetectRange the...

just thinking you could remove the square root and square the radius should execute faster

distance=sqr(abs(bikeX - zoneX)) + sqr(abs(bikeY - zoneY)) - sqr(zoneRadius)

i was looking at the bike-zone detection it looks strange and seems to be splitting a zone into 42 segments then checking if bike intersects one of these segments maybe this was done for speed ? im not sure im not great at math but i think something like this should work distance=sqrt(sqr(abs(bikeX ...

so far it seems to be working thanks

It's related to using delay_commands/spawn_zone rather than having the zones directly on the map. The map loads twice the first round including the settings, meaning DELAY_COMMANDS are done twice. I had made some changes for that already as it used to always load twice every round. For the VERY sim...

ive just downloaded 0.2.9-sty+ct+ap_alpha_z2990 and upgraded my servers and noticed an odd bug while in my maze racer easy server ive noticed now and then when the map is rendered that some of the deathzones in the map ( around 1/4 of them ) are being spawned twice , you can see two zones one on top...
