[simspark-devel] Goal registration

[Sander v. D. <sgv...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I have just made a commit to the simspark SVN repository with a patch that
should fix false registration of goals when the ball hits the goal post or
the outside of the goal and hopefully prevents the registration of a goal as
a goal kick. It seems to work well here, but of course this kind of thing
needs a large amount of tests to reliable rule out that such an error still
occurs. So it would be good if people try out the latest SVN revision and
report if this bug still appears.

The fix consists of shrinking the collision box in the goal that registers a
valid goal, so it only happens when the ball is fully over the line (this
also matches the official FIFA rules better) and the ball is also only
registered as out of the field when the full ball is over te line (plus a
little bit to hopefully reduce the number of false goal kicks).

Cheers,
Sander
