Hi.
I'll mention the lack of message to niels. Try adding the patch, maybe that
will give you the latest version without the message.
Yes, checking boxes does just give you a click, but really this doesn't
matter, the only otpions music, sfx, which are check boxes are pretty
obvious when checked or not, and others like blind compatibility mode or
hard mode give you an on screen message.
the layout thing is unfortunately just a consequence of how Jaws formats
screens when using the jaws curser. With hal, the text formatting comes out
perfectly due to Hal's ability to use virtual focus in columns.
If you can set the screen view in window eyes or jaws to display a table
format try that, though to be honest as a Hal user of 17 years I'm less sure
how those things work. i do know though that people have played the game
with Jaws and window eyes, so it is possible, though this might be through
experience with the interface.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi, I have smugglers 4, bought it a few days ago via the nielsbauergames
website and got directed to a download link so I assume I have the current
version. I will try the setup screen again but I THINK I hear the beep
sound wether I check or uncheck a box but I will have to verify that.
Both with jaws 11 and wineyes 7.2 although most stuff is labelled the
interface still seems a bit strange and the labels are not on one line.
What I mean is if you want to fire ships guns you get fire your but then
not the word guns. I must say though that I dont use the jaws cursor but
my braille display to navigate the screen. I still have to find out how I
can left click with it though because so far I have not been able tog et
the in game help topics to work.
I wonder how you know if star systems are controlled by your faction or
your enemies (in that case they are colored red) but so far I have not
been able to get that colour registered on my braille display.
Greetings, Anouk,

the game is perfectly accessible.
I'd actually be interested to know which version of the game you got,
sinse I thought that message had been taken out. It was initially in the
game when the compatibility mode wasn't complete and stil in beta testing
phase, but doesn't apply anymore, now all screens are properly labled.
as to check boxes, just listen for the bleep sound, that will tell you
when something has been checked, even though it doesn't say so on screen.
this is because s4 has specifically designed controls not the standard
ones, but it really isn't a problem.
Btw, there actually wasn't need to buy the game, both have fairly
extensive demos.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] smugglers 4 accessibility
Hi, I bought this game along with tv maneger 2 (which in the end, after
reading the manual i did not play) but smugglers seems interesting. I am
now doing the game settings before starting a game however and
apparently I cant see if a setting is checked or not, I also see when i
enable the accessibility mode that it only works for the travel screen.
I wonder how accessible this game really is.
Greetings, Anouk,
