...I really want a modification to the forum software to limit his posts......heck if it was like you say we would need 20 mods around the clock working their butt of.
Nice idea.  Maybe Simple Machines tech-support could help with some answers?

Sparks, to not unkindly leave you hanging/worrying (though I think you'e a bit nosey), we were not 'fighting' at all. So:
1. Listen closely.
2. Don't post either, just listen, please.
3. Repeat #1 and #2 above...
4. ACAMS was recently showing me some 'ins and outs' of the Control Panel for the new Forum.
5. So I executed an experiment by modding My and ACAMS' post count.
6. I 'made up' a scenario in which he posted just like you have.
7. ACAMS threatens to 'return the favor' to Goose and me.
8. I responded to 'Get in line'....
9. You posted it "It's fun to watch the mods fighting".
10. I, in the same demeanor, teased you about both the ACAMS and my wrath...
11. You apparently didn't get it, and asked in a linguistically proper and logical way; "carful what?"
12. ACAMS torted jokingly to you "I wish I had a mod (me) to limit you to 5 posts per day!", meaning that he's acting like he did not have the authority to do, what he, himself, gave me the authority to do, and actually just did to both his and my post counts...
 
This is why I said it is an "'iceberg' dialogue...", meaning that what we were doing was not obvious, but mostly hidden from view.
 
 
So don't worry, NP with you. Feel free to post ....reasonably.
 
 
 
On topic:
I think it would be cool to have a 'Tech' tag, for technical threads.  Makes it easier to see, for perhaps some to seek and others to avoid.  Don't know what it would look like,.. perhaps a couple gears meshing???

I'm everyone.  Every single account is mine.  I amuse myself by ...having elaborate conversations with myself.
Huh, SR, don't feel alone. I know several people in therapy like that.  Unfortunately they are the Therapists. (no joke)

4th line from bottom looks wrong, is it?
It was
You are right, S_M. I didn't look at the 'empty space' as a line, and thus checked the line above it.  Nice job.

Careful 'Sparklebutt', or you'll find about the
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and
"Weapons of Mass. Destruction".
And just so you know this is an 'iceberg' dialogue...



ACAMS: That would be fine, I need a break from work...(where I should be now, instead of testing out the control panel...)

Tell that goose character I will kick his butt if he messes up the forum as hard as I have been working on it!.....that goes DOUBLE for you!  TRIPLE, I'm married... (take a ticket).

y'all want to expel energy, then help him finish the bot exchange!  If I had the time I'd really try, cause that IS a worthy project..., but 'time'.  If you can 'sub' for me then I'll do it.

Oh, and I figured out the 'control panel' stuff you were sharing with me; thanks for helping.

Yep,... now adjust as necessary.
Look in the gmf, or just start with -10 and go up from there, till you find the right working height.
 
----------------------------------

Edit: This is not right:
 if plus.getLocation(each)[-2] < -6: # Adjust this parameter to floor height(s).
 
This bracket designates which specific axis (x, y, or z) to find. 
x=[0]
y=[1]
z=[2]
 
Never seen -2 there, surprised it runs like that....
So you want:
   if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < -6: # Adjust this parameter to floor height(s).
 
--------
 
The '-6' is the number that will set the height of elimination, so adjust it:
   if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < -6: # Adjust this parameter to floor height(s).

ACAMS why do you only have 19 posts?

Don't know.....don't care, didn't even notice!
Goose and I set up a Useless Post 'Sting' operation and made the deductions automatic.
According to the collective data, ACAMS was:
1. Posting worthless posts...
2. 'Double Accounts' as newbs, to harrass the Mods... to make sure we're they're earning their pay
3. Owning a Chevy (that hurts to even say)
4. For attempting to send the latest style of 'Christmas flight' underwear as a present to the white house.
 
Hey, the post counts speak for themselves.....

Thanks S_M, but that's ok.

But as I looked I saw a second issue:  No 'return' for 'Tick'.
Check 'file addresses' too.
Note: If you send the whole arena it'll be a lot easier to debug.
Try this:
Code: [Select]
from __future__ import generators
import plus
import Arenas
import random
import Hazards
import math
class Box(Arenas.SuperArena):
    "Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted"
    name = "Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiisted Arena"
    preview = "twisted/twi_preview.bmp"
    game_types = ['DEATHMATCH', 'BATTLE ROYAL', 'TEAM MATCH']
    extent = (-15, 15, 15, -15)
    def __init__(self):
        Arenas.SuperArena.__init__(self, "Arenas/twisted/twisted.gmf")
        #plus.Arena.__init__(self, "")
        plus.setBackColor(.36, .537, .788)
       
        degrad = 0.01745
        self.AddStaticCamera("Battle View", (19.5, 15, 19.5), (50*degrad,225*degrad), 55*degrad)
        self.AddStaticCamera("High Flipper View", (-19.5, 45, -19.5), (48*degrad,45*degrad), 84*degrad)
        self.AddStaticCamera("Birds Eye View", (0, 45, 0), (90*degrad,0), 75*degrad)
        self.AddWatchCamera("Combat Cam", (-12, 8, 12), (16, 36, 65*degrad, 30*degrad))
        self.AddWatchCamera("Aerial Cam", (-19.5, 35, -19.5), (50, 60, 45*degrad, 60*degrad))
        self.AddWatchCamera("Ground Cam", (8, -5, -8), (15, 40, 75*degrad, 35*degrad))
        self.AddWatchCamera("Spectator Cam", (13, 15, 13), (6, 18, 45*degrad, 45*degrad))
   
        self.players = ()
    def AddShadowReceivers(self):
        self.SetShadowSource(5.897, 19.159, 5.899)
       
    def Activate(self, on):
        if on: self.players = plus.getPlayers()
       
        Arenas.SuperArena.Activate(self, on)
    def Tick(self):
        for each in self.players:
            if plus.getLocation(each)[-2] < -6: # Adjust this parameter to floor height(s).
                plus.eliminatePlayer(each)
        return Arenas.SuperArena.Tick(self)
 
Arenas.register(Box)

Yes, that would keep it from loading.  I'll have time to look at it first hand later today, unless someone else helps you out first. 
In the mean time, if you want to send me all of the arena, I'll look over the rest too...(PM is fine).

The indenting needs to be uniform under it's heading. The "self.players = ()" is still not under it's heading "def __init__(self):":
Code: [Select]
from __future__ import generators

    extent = (-15, 15, 15, -15)

    def __init__(self):
        Arenas.SuperArena.__init__(self, "Arenas/twisted/twisted.gmf")
        #plus.Arena.__init__(self, "")
        plus.setBackColor(.36, .537, .788)

G.K., you don't need to make a big SZ (which is a possibility), but rather do it in the py.

If OOTA-ed bot is/falls lower than floor, just get (y) location and then 'eliminate' bot.
Code: [Select]
    def __init__(self):
        self.players = ()
 
    def Activate(self, on):
        if on:  self.players = plus.getPlayers()       
        Arenas.SuperArena.Activate(self, on)
 
   def Tick(self):
      for each in self.players:
         if plus.getLocation(each)[1] < -6: # Adjust this parameter to floor height(s).
            plus.eliminatePlayer(each)


or if the floor is the same height inside and out, then use x and z to find outside the arena:
 
Code: [Select]
    def __init__(self):
        self.players = ()
 
    def Activate(self, on):
        if on:  self.players = plus.getPlayers()       
        Arenas.SuperArena.Activate(self, on)
 
   def Tick(self):
      for each in self.players:
          if plus.getLocation(each)[0] > abs(12)  or   plus.getLocation(each)[2] > abs(12)  # Adjust this parameter to arena size.
            plus.eliminatePlayer(each)
