    What I wanted 4.x to be... is how XMOD turned out... (But I had to stick to specs and couldn't make it that way)... so it's cool to see what you completed.
    Well thank you, I'll take that as a compliment. Not to mention the many thanks I owe you for all your help along the way.

          APG or any other publication can sit on an article forever until they decide if/when they want to publish it, or where it would 'fit in'. Im sure it will eventually make it out. If not I can always hook you up with Dave Araki from Splaat.

            Just heard back from APG. They said...
            "Working on this - can't state for certain yet

            Dan"



            So I don't know what that means, guess I'll take it as is.

              Dont sweat it... years ago my friend Carl, proprietor of the now defunct "FlagStation" in rooklyn NY had them do a write-up on him and his at the time 'latest creation'. THey sat on it for almost a year IIRC... that creation was the very first half-block autococker call "Son of Fugly"

              One day you will get a call or something from someone letting you know your interview was published.......

                Why does this thread keep disappearing? Do threads disappear if they're not posted in for a while? I keep having to find it by doing a search.

                  Hey Lorne, i've been loving your software for several months now. Anyway, I was wondering, for those of us enthusiasts you could modify the XMOD in order to fully take advantage of PSP rules. With your software the ramping only stays active while the 4bps is maintained. PSP rules as quoted from the 2006 rule book reguarding ramping: If the trigger is pulled one, two or three times, the marker may fire no more than the number of times the trigger is pulled. The
                  marker may fire up to three balls per pull after that. If the marker is not fired for a second, the trigger must again be pulled three times before the marker may fire more than one shot per pull.

                  That means that after the initial 3 balls, 1 bps results in 3 round burst.

                  Is there any way to add this feature to perhaps a future update or even a new, seperate version that ONLY has PSP and Semi modes? I would be really happy if you could make this happen Lorne, and keep my E/X-mags running with the top of the food chain.

                    Yea I could do that, but it would take much more program space. The reason it's set at 4bps is that the gun uses an 8bit counter/timer. I have the timer set to 1ms so 8bits = 255ms and the most I can time with one regester is 255/1000 seconds but to make it a nice number I actually do 250/1000= 1/4second which is why you need to pull a minimum of 4bps. Hopefully that makes sense, but seriously, you're telling me you're having problems maintaining 4bps? Dude, you might want to look into a new hobby... lol No I know what you're saying though I would have made it 1sec if I could but it was a decision I had to make at the time and I think it's better this way since I was able to add other features the would never have been possible, so unless you want to pay me to make a special version for you that's how it's going to have to stay. Not to mention that to change it now would be a change to the foundation and would be a lot of work/time. But hey time is money and if you're exceedingly rich and want to pay me, I'd be glad to do it.

                      Maintain 4 bps, yes.
                      Exceedingly rich...no.
                      Perhaps the power is in the numbers. Maybe if enough people wanted to donate to a further XMod creation could all donate. I'd be willing to throw ANOTHER $50 at it to have that feature. If enough people want it bad enough to throw $50 your way.. how many donations would you have to take?

                        I'd do it for $300, so if there are 6 people out there willing to pony up $50 post here and we'll see how many we get, keep in mind some other features will have to go. I'll start with practice mode. That may be enough. If there are more than 6 I think it's only fair to those that do pay if everyone has to pay. Besides that works out better for me... lol.

                          Well Lorne. I suppose we have to ASK others if they would be intrested now. If maybe after a week or so if say 10 people come forward with a $30 pledge, would that work for with you?
                          BTW- strip out anything you want but try to leave FIX and dwell. and instead of pr-t mode how about something like what AGD had on their program- one led character would come on while the trigger was pulled. Just a tool someone can use to set up their trigger without their gun aired up. Also while i'm at it a game timer would be nice (if there is room).

                            This option is already in XMOD. Go to the TRG ACE test screen. Pull the trigger and a box lights up next to TRG. You can set your trigger without airing up right there. :)

                              I think someone needs to play with their gun(s) more...
