20:03.03trepanis there a list of bzfsAPI event members which are expected to be modified by plugins?  (ex: bz_AllowPlayerEventData_V1.allow and reason)
20:03.17JeffMnope
20:04.03trepanah, might want to add something to bzfsAPI.h for that, ex:  bool allow; // output parameter
20:05.33JeffMor boatloads of const
20:07.03trepanand that would require constructor initialization of parameters in the engine
20:08.55JeffMtrue
20:09.15Cobra_Slowhey JeffM, i took a look @ 2.99.x
20:09.36Cobra_Slowits great so far except one thing
20:10.14Cobra_Slowthe steering delay is crap
20:10.15Cobra_Slow^^
20:10.31JeffMacceleration is on by default
20:11.18Cobra_Slowis there a possibility to turn it off?
20:11.33JeffMthe server would set the vars to 0

20:55.57JeffMyou know 2.0.x is old right?
20:56.13Winnycorndawg_: check out the source from SVN and take a look
20:56.36me1well, there's this cool new command, "/cookie" that actually creates a real cookie and feeds it to you.
20:56.53JeffMme1, that isn't implemented on the mac
20:57.01JeffMapple disabled that part of the chipset
20:57.24Winnyit makes cookies already
20:57.29Winnyjust type "steve"
20:57.38Winnyand "boom!" a cookie
20:57.46Winny(hehe get it steve jobs says boom a lot)
20:58.07me1haha, it's funny because i don't get it.
20:59.10JeffMme1, that just means you saved 1000$
20:59.23delusionalCHIPS AHOY!
20:59.23F687sI tried it; the cookies appear to be cased in clear plastic. (I'm running 10.4 ;-)

23:44.36corndawg_hum where did i read about smarter bzflag bots?
23:44.42corndawg_bots that can jump and use flags
23:44.48*** join/#bzflag Greywhind (n=Greywhin@Jameson-102.resnet.brown.edu)
23:44.54corndawg_seen it earlier but cant remember where
23:45.53corndawg_found it
23:46.00cosmoswhat smarter bots
23:47.15corndawg_its a feature called autopiolet
23:47.39corndawg_The aforementioned bot method creates what may be called 'simple' bots, which simply shoot and attempt to dodge bullets. A feature called autopilot, is activated when you press the "9" key on your keyboard, although as stated earlier, many servers do not allow this. Some players may decide they want to open up 5 or 10 clients and place them on autopilot. When they do, it allows them to be able to jump, grab flags, and are slightly
23:47.39corndawg_smarter than the 'simple' bots.
23:47.41cosmosyeah thats not smart bots
23:47.46cosmosthats just autopilot :)
23:48.01corndawg_that a flag from the command line or client?
23:48.24cosmosin the client hit 9 and your tank is on autopilot
23:48.26delusionalwhat about last year's gsoc project?
23:50.04JeffMthat was just making bzrobots better from an API standpoint
23:50.09JeffMthey didn't write any AI code
23:53.34delusionalso there's no robocode available?    there's gotta be something here...  http://my.bzflag.org/w/BZRobots/Protocol
23:54.05JeffMthat's just API docs
23:54.26delusionaland this    large PDF   http://students.cs.byu.edu/~cs470ta/goodrich/fall2007/labs/lab1/potentialfields.pdf
23:54.51JeffMthat's just info on writing something
23:55.04JeffMpeople may have writen something, but we don't have it
23:55.17delusionaldam
23:55.53JeffMthat's like wondering why the plugin you want isn't writen, just because there are API docs
23:56.00JeffMAPI alone does not a projec tmake
