2 years ago I have a hunch this is due to the camera/detection speed.
Smokeless Range (laser ammo simulator) uses a high speed camera in their application for a reason.
I'm debating forking this Java version and tinkering around with it or just starting a new project trying to use something like tracking.js or opencv in an electron app. It seems this project has gone dormmate and I'm thinking a more modern / easier to work with stack might be the better way to go if possible, I'm just not sure how long it will take me to develop part time as a side project. Also, it's been a long long minute since I've done anything in Java lol.
I have both a laser cartridge and a spider vibration visible laser thing (assuming same exact thing as you) so I'll tinker around with it regardless of which way I go.

I don't know if this is a ShootOFF issue or a system limit override. And I don't know if ShootOFF is an abandouned project or not. It would be a real shame, as it is a beautiful software, better than many other paid ones.
I set up ShootOFF with a HD projector and a Logitech C920 camera on a dedicated (clean new) Windows 10 laptop (no way to make C920 recognizable on my loved Ubuntu 20.04). I use it with a laser cartridge and all is good as expected. But... when I shoot with a CO2 Umarex with vibration activated cartridge (see Laser Ammo products), the recoil produces a laser strip instead of a laser point and ShootOFF dont'recognizes it as a shot. I can perfectly see that strip in realtime on the PC monitor in the arena webcam view, so is not correct to say that ShootOFF can't see it. I think that ShootOFF should recognize laser strips (placing the shot where the strip starts) when a configuration based option is activated (i.e.: "recoil shot handgun mode")... It would be the only way to shoot with a almost-real weapon. Thank you for supporting.
