BPS "Showdown" - PRIZES

[yakitori]

Yak, I hate to say this, but the sound from the paint actually hitting the target is creating peaks in the waveform that are of equal magnitude to the actual shot. In some cases, it is greater. Now, taken by themselves, one can distinguish the two by careful examination, as demonstrated by the attached image. However, when in a fast string, it is almost indecipherable. As such, I can't really provide an accurate count. In the attached image, you will see a portion of the waveform from the end of the video. The first peak was generated by the marker firing, and the second was from the paintball striking the target. As you can imagine, that makes things difficult when you are at full speed. If you could possibly make a video where you fire at something that will not report when struck, or even into some bushes, that would be great.

RX2. Is there any way that you can show a graph of mine on the other program. Is it goldwave? I am just curious.

I don't have Goldwave on my computer. The programs I use are Wavelab, Pro Tools, and Nuendo. I can supply you with waveform images from any of these programs, and I should say that these are true professional programs (Wavelab is a professional digital mastering suite that sells for over 500 dollars, and Nuendo is a DAW that sells for just under 2000), so they are very accurate, although admittedly it doesn't take a professional program to correctly display a waveform. In any case, I will get on that tomorrow, if you would like.

I'm wanting to do it but I lack three big things required for it 1)A hopper capable of keeping up with me 2)My own video camera and 3)The time with someone elses camera.

I may still come through though, I'm trying.

I saw that , its like in 4 days. I wasnt sure if it was gonna be extented with only 3 people.

[barrel break]

Um, question. I am not sure i have enough paint left over to shoot eight seconds. If i were to enter, would you just select eight seconds, and that empty time would count against me or what?

EDIT: http://rapidshare.de/files/2325348/goddamnegg.WMV.html
Not an entry, my egg was being really stupid and fed inconsistantly/stopped randomly, so i figure id share my frustration, and see if i got the format right.

[Skoad]

iwas going to do this but my halo is messed up.

[jenarelJAM]

I'm probably going to do it in about an hour at my friends house, but hes not picking up his phone so... we'll see. If not today, possibly tomorrow. My scuba, and therefore my tank is pretty low, so I'm just going to hook my scuba up to my tank, and shoot it off of there, so I basicly have a larger tank. It turns out that what I previously did with solenoid clicks and the safety on, isn't possible with 800 psi running through the line. The solenoid holds the sear back for too long before it resets so I can't rake it how I was before. I will still take a video of me walking the trigger and enter it.

[onedude36]

I will be entering my friend and his timmy tomorrow hopefully. Don't worry I'll do my best to make sure the gun isn't bouncing, on my honour.

[jenarelJAM]

Vid done!

got the vid, but its 13 megs. that means no putfile... also, i have alergies, so I'm not worrying about it tonight, probably tomorrow around noon.Lohman, can I send it to you via email? or to someone else who can then post it? Thanks

[drg]

You can email it to me. I can post it and possibly create a reduced size version for you, depending on the format and how much time I have.
