Hello everyone. This message is to any Window-Eyes users who want to help Window-Eyes establish a silence presence while you play self-voicing games. I prefer users who have Window-Eyes 6.0 or 6.1, so if you are using an older copy of Window-Eyes, using the following steps should still help you get silence from Window-Eyes while playing games, but I do not need your set files. If you are still reading at this point, I will give you the steps on how to associate the silent.000 set file with a self-voicing game application. Then I will show you where to find these files so you can send them to me. This will allow me to compile a games collection of sets so that users can simply install them from the set file manager of Window-Eyes in the next version which we are working on. If you stick with your current version and do not upgrade, you will still be able to use these sets, but they will not be a part of the automatic set file manager.
1. Run the game in question, making sure to keep Window-Eyes running while you do this. 2. From the game, press CONTROL-BACKSLASH to bring up the Window-Eyes control panel. You should hear, "Window-Eyes active wineyes.000 associated wineyes.000" or something similar. If you do, you can skip step 3. 3. If you only hear "Window-Eyes" instead of "Window-Eyes active wineyes.000 associated wineyes.000" or something similar, it means you are in beginner mode and must switch to advanced mode by pressing ALT-L, M, A, ENTER. If you are already in advanced mode, you can skip this step. 4. Activate the open set file dialog box by pressing ALT-F, O, ENTER. Window-Eyes will prompt you for the name of a set file to open. 5. Type "silent.000" then press ENTER. Now Window-Eyes should say, "Window-Eyes active silent.000 associated none" or something similar. 6. Save the set file and the new association by activating the save set file dialog box with ALT-F, S, ENTER. Window-Eyes will put in what it wants to call the set file. Erase this edit box and type silent.000 instead. 7. Window-Eyes will ask you if you want to save this set file which you do, so press Y then Window-Eyes will ask you if you want to save the association which you do so press Y a second time. BINGO! You have now just made the silent.000 set file load any time you start this particular self-voicing game. Again, if you are using Window-Eyes 6.0 or 6.1, I would like you to share this information with me so I can compile the games set file to add to the set file manager of Window-Eyes. For this, I will need you to zip and send me via private e-mail attachment, the Window-Eyes association file. This is a small text file with a .we extension. If you have done the above steps for a number of games, you might have multiple association files. The best way to find them all since the names may not be very intuitive is to sort the set files by date modified and then you should see them either at the very top or the very bottom of your list. The location of set files will be in one of two places. If you are using Window-Eyes 6.0 or earlier, they will be located in "c:\Wineyes\Users\Default" Also, if you are using Window-Eyes 6.1 and you upgraded to version 6.1 from an earlier copy like 6.0, they will also be in this location. If you are using Window-Eyes 6.1 and you installed version 6.1 from the CD and did not upgrade it, then the location of the set files are in the application data of your Windows user account. This location is best reached by typing the following minus the quotes from the run dialog box. Please note that there are percent signs surrounding the appdata portion. "%appdata%\GW Micro\Window-Eyes\Users\Default" Once you find the .we files which you modified for the games, zip them up and e-mail them to me privately. If you like, I'll give you credit in the game set file readme as well. Many thanks for any help you can lend. There are just two more things you should know. 1. The games set file collection of Window-Eyes will be free and will be used as-is. This means that it should make Window-Eyes silent during game play. If some aspect of the game changes, the silent.000 set file may not load correctly. 2. This does not entitle you to anything other than knowing you have helped the gaming and Window-Eyes community. If you have any questions regarding Window-Eyes please do not post them here. Feel free to write me privately or write GW Micro Technical Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks and happy gaming. -- Raul A.
