very cool

**DiRTyBuNNy** · 10-12-2003, 01:01 AM

a ROF meter would be cool for the remaining memory space..hehehe...so we can show the WAS equipped marker people that Mags can shoot like lazers too...that and maybe a game of tetris would be nice..

**datapimp69** · 10-12-2003, 01:16 AM

oh oh i got one.

how about an eletronic AUTO crono mode

you would pick crono from the menu

put the gun over the crono.

pull the trigger.

the gun would then

shoot
hold the trigger back
wait 2 sec
shoot
hold the trigger back
wait 2 sec
shoot

so all you would have to do is pick crono and it would run the routine

I was considering that. I can only speculate as to how large that would be at the moment. My initial thought is that I can keep it relatively small... I'll try to work something out on paper tomorrow morning to have a better idea.

Oh, and I will never again code Tetris. Did it on my TI-92, once is enough...

Miscue, I love how you end LoadSM5's request. hehehe

Cocker/e-chrono mode might be fun to have. Heck, BlackVCG can't chrono in mechanical mode.

It seems like a 'fun' code so why not have custom or fun messages? 'KABLOW!' displayed every time you fire. 'DESTROY MODE' or 'FUEGO' when you return from the sim mode.

Highest sustained ROF obtained displayed and saved.

Good stuff Miscue!

Ha! I was thinking about something like that too. It is basically a 0.5 bps modified full-auto. My first thought was that it is a safety problem. However, I would only allow for inactive auto-chrono mode for about 3-5 seconds... then goes back to semi.

BTW, the discussion we had about how to implement shot buffering and have it work while cycling... if you remember... I thought of a better way to do it, actually... that uses far less code and is much easier to implement.

Dude... I am SO using that Destroy Mode idea. Ha!

Ok, this is how I think I will do it:

Sample 3 balls, display averaged bps.
Push this to the left when the next sample comes in.

So display will look like this:

......20 -> ...20.23 -> 20.23.21 -> 23.21.24 -> 21.24.20

Those numbers will represent ROF of last 9 balls, grouped in 3s.

Sound good? Alternatives?

**DiRTyBuNNy** · 10-12-2003, 02:10 AM

I know I don't know anything about coding...but..

why not just take the the time between shots and divide by a second to get the bps and tell the system to throw out any number that isn't greater than the current result to show highest achieved bps at any given time...

I've heard this is how Angels do it and is kind of cheater...unless you can average the current amount of balls fired to find the number in real time..

**Miscue** · 10-12-2003, 02:17 AM

It can be done like that...

Basically count shots over 1 second interval.

**DiRTyBuNNy** · 10-12-2003, 02:22 AM

I just thought that would be a little bit more idiot proof..I could just imagine some maroon wondering why he keeps getting 3 sets of numbers on his display..

i like the custom startup message, thats pretty slick. it seems to me like the display dimmer is a good way to reduce power consumption when not needed.

doesnt 3.0 include the trigger adjustment feature that allows you to test without putting your ear up to the frame to hear the solenoid click?

and since you have the ability to flash this software in, you could make a little cash if you helped to alleviate some of the rush crowd for the much-anticipated 3.0 release. seems to me like AGD will be up to their necks in e(x)mags awaiting the new software when it gets released.

and, the battery isnt memory-capable, correct? so a battery indicator wouldnt be possible, right?

A battery meter... not really. Just low-batt detect like it's always had. I never heard of that 3.0 feature... seems like a hokey way to do a trigger test.

I never intended to profit from this. Whatever I come up with, AGD can have if they want it.

thats really what i was talking about.

what would really key me in is the bps counter. ive spent hours pulling as quickly as possible for 10 seconds and then averaging...this would make things a lot easier when i do my finger workout routine.

one distant, off-the-wall fantasy would be remote triggering...almost like a claymore remote detonator. can you imagine the surprise when applied in scenario tactics? that would be hillarious.
