Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars I always liked Masters Of Orion type games, but found no accessible replacement for them since my vision loss.This game looks like it could do the trick, however, after I lost my sight, I had no need to adjust any graphical settings anymore, so I would like someone to remind, actually to instruct me in details, how to do those required changes to play the game with NVDA.So, since I use NVDA on a desktop PC, with windows 10 system, please, do instruct me step by step, how to adjust those settings mentioned in the starting post.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars @314 once you researched the techs you want, you need to go into the create research project field. I don't remember the hotkey but I'm pretty sure that's what the control is called on the home screen. In this place, there'll be an edit box somewhere. In this edit box, you'll have to choos what category of component (shield, missile etc.) you want to make a new project for. Then, you just go through the other edit boxes, checking the parameters you want, and in the read only field you can see the stats your component will have once you research it. This is important for things like engines because you can see how your speed is in relation to your fuel usage and such.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Hey,Yeah, you need to manually assign ship classes to shipyards. You choose "retool," in the activity combo box, where it says "no Activity" by default. Does that much not read for you? If you're having trouble reading that, I don't know what might be going on.You basically select the activity you want, in this case retool, and pick the ship class you want, and then hit "set activity." The first retool of your untooled shipyard is free and instant. After that you can actually queue up ships for building.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars As a heads up for anyone else who experiences this issue, I believe we were able to solve it by adjusting WINdows scaling settings. By default they are set to scale up the display which doesn't play very well with NVDA's mouse routing. The solution is to reduce the scaling to 100%, despite what Windows recommends. On an unrelated note, version 1.12 of Aurora will add automated assignment of planetary governors, which will help reduce micro-management and make it easier to handle many colonies at once. It isn't out yet, but watch for further reports.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Hello.I am experiencing some difficulty with ship building. Not so much a game issue, more an NVDA issue. When I use NVDA + / to snap cursor to ship component it always seems to be a bit off. Even when I move the mouse to something like the engine manually, when I click it selects the diplomacy drive. In simple terms, my mouse clicks a few pixels above its actual location. I rarely encounter this issue with NVDA, but its definitely not unique to Aurora.I suspect it might have something to do with resolution, but I am not sure. Any NVDA veterans that can shine some light on my predicament?

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Conner142,I'm not sure what the issue with standing ordersis, they delete fine for me. One slightly confusing aspect is that it can look like they're empty or set to "no order," when they aren't. As for length of surveys, the exact formula is obscure but it depends a lot on the size of the body, a moon is going to be done quicker than a big planet. Finally, listening posts are always a good idea. You can always just put deep space tracking stations on some planets or moons, they don't need population to operate.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Some questions from me again. First, when I give a standing order to a fleet ,like surveying the nearest unsurveyed body, it doesn't tell me how long it will take. Is there a way to find this out, and if not, does someone know approximately how long it takes one ship with geo sensors to finish a survey?Second, how do I delete such a standing order? They don't appear in the list with the movement orders, and even if I change the selection to "no order" and go back into the naval organisation dialogue, my standing orders are still there.Finally, I read on the Aurora wiki that only about 5% of all generated bodies have any minerals on them. Does that mean I shouldn't bother with the other stuff since I can't mine it, other than maybe making listening posts and stuff like that?

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Conner142,Anything built with military/naval components automatically becomes military. These include military engines obviously, but also large sensors, geosurvey or gravsurvey modules, and almost all weapons. I think CIWS defensive systems might be commercial, but that's about it.So the solution is to build with non-military tech only, and you'll get a non-military/commercial design.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars I think part of the remaining accessibility work is ensuring that the order of text fields is sensible. It's a thing I see in my day job all the time, and he's done it for other windows, there are just a lot of them. Be glad this isn't the days of version 1.0, where none of the buttons on the tactical map were labeled, and we had to count buttons or add bookmarks ourselves to get to any window because there were no shortcuts. It was awful.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Thanks both of you. This has been really helpful. Unfortunately I have no idea how a hotspot/bookmark would work, but I've eventually after trial and error learned how to find it on the screen.The minerals thing is also working now, although it would be nice if we could suggest to the dev if he could see about moving the text boxes telling you what field is used for what mineral so that tabbing reads that first, rather than right at the end.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Also, there is a tab on the tactical map which includes a list of all the minerals you've found in text form.The fleet location info is near the top of the window, from what I understand.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Majno,The solution to that problem is to put multiple survey sensors on a single ship. I usually do between 2 and 4.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars How wonderful that someone actually posed the question - I was going to create a quick tutorial on this regardless.Aurora Tutorials part 2.5 is here, in which I explain how and why you should set up naval commands, as well as showing you how to assign officers to them.https://www.dropbox.com/s/tykpsldj556hx … 5.mp3?dl=1For more information, refer to one of the comments in this post:https://www.reddit.com/r/aurora/comment … et_orders/I have copied all of the information over for the sake of convenienceThat one I can explain. Part 1/2 (Yes, this is long.)(Steve posts I'm drawing from: Naval Organization, Command & Control Rules, Admin Commands.)Commander SlotsThere's four ways for a commander can provide a bonus. From lowest rank to highest, they can be a ship's officer, a ship commander, a fleet commander, or an admin commander.• A ship's officer provides one skill at 100% effectiveness, depending on which position they hold. This always requires the appropriate command module (e.g., you can't have an Executive Officer on a ship unless the ship has an Auxiliary Control module).• A ship's commander provides all of their skills at 50% effectiveness. Every ship can have a commander.• A fleet commander provides 100% of their Reaction skill to the whole fleet. This requires a Flag Bridge module on at least one ship in the fleet. (If there is no Flag Bridge, there is no separate Fleet Commander slot. The senior ship commander in the fleet will be shown as fleet commander, but they will not provide a Reaction bonus to ships other than their own).• An admin command provides a different bonus depending what command type it is, and it provides that bonus to every fleet subordinate to it (directly or indirectly).Admin CommandsA ship can benefit from any number of admin commands, in principle. However, each admin command requires a higher-ranked officer than the commands under it, so you'll run out of officer ranks at some point.Unlike the other commander slots, admin commands require no ship modules. They're based on the Naval Headquarters buildings on your planets, instead. Any planet with NHQ buildings has a radius - the first NHQ gives you radius 1, then each time you double the number of NHQs, the radius increases by 1. So a planet with 2 NHQs can command two jumps out, 4 NHQs can command three jumps out, 8 NHQs can command four jumps out, and so on. Patrol and Survey commands double this radius, so a Patrol command based at a planet with 4 NHQ buildings will have a radius of 6, not 3.Training commands are a special type of command - ships in a Training command will gain skill much more rapidly, but they will also use much more fuel and supply that they otherwise would.You start the game with a top-level admin command, of type General, based on your homeworld. Unlike other admin commands, it cannot be deleted, but the type and host planet can be changed.An ExampleConsider the Survey skill, as an example, and how it applies to a basic survey ship with one basic survey sensor(strength=1) and a science department, surveying Alpha Centauri I.• Because the ship has a Science Department module, it can appoint a Science Officer. The Science Officer provides 100% of their bonus. Let's say Lieutenant Commander Reggie Redshirt has 25% Survey skill and gets this slot.• Every ship's commander gets to provide 50% of their bonus to everything (or 100% if no module exists). Because the Science module exists, it's 50% in this case. The commander is Commander Keen, and he has a 20% bonus. 20%*50% = 10%, so this gives a 10% bonus to the ship's Survey ability.• The ship is in a fleet of its own, so there's no fleet commander slot. Even if there was, it would provide no Survey bonus.• The first admin command over the ship is Alpha Centauri Survey Command(of type Survey, naturally), run by Captain Londo Mollari. Because it's a Survey command, it's 25%. Londo also has a 20% bonus, and 20%*25% = 5%, so this admin command provides a 5% bonus to the Survey skill of all ships in the admin.• The next admin command over that is Universal Survey Command(also of type Survey), run by the unfortunately named Commodore Sixty Four. She's a really good survey commander, with a 40% bonus, and again Survey commands give 25%. So 40%*25% = 10%, and she gives a 10% bonus to all ships in her admin.• Above Universal Survey Command is Exploration Command(of type Patrol), commanded by Rear Admiral William Adama. Because this is of type Patrol, it provides no survey bonus, so Adama's 5% survey bonus provides no bonus here. (His high Engineering skill does help them stay on station a bit longer, though)• Above that is Non-Combat Forces Command(of type Industrial). Like Adama, Vice Admiral Shannon Foraker cannot apply her Survey skill here, and her 10% is of no use. It does help keep our ships organized in a nice clean fashion, though, which is nice.• Finally, the top-level command for the whole

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Rashad,We will have to do a bit of dragging and dropping, but it's not as bad as it looks. Here's how you do it.Starting from the admin commands tab in Naval Organization, you need to select your "General," command in the tree view. Although this step might be optional it's a good habit to get into. Go to the second list view, and select "Survey Command," from the list of new admin command types. Press "Create new admin command." You'll be asked for a command name. Call it survey command or whatever you want.Go back to the fleet tree view, and select Survey Fleet. Expand it to see the list of ships inside. You can just tab to the detach button and press that, you'll find as you do so that you'll suddenly have new, single-ship fleets with the name of the ship. These are what you'll be dragging.Move up and down the tree to find one ship you want, and press the key to bring Jaws to the PC cursor. On the laptop that's capslock+left-bracket, I'm sure it's something similar on the desktop.Press the drag and drop hotkey, On a laptop, that's Caps lock-shift-8, I'm guessing it's similar on the desktop, possibly numpad-insert-shift-numpad-slash. Jaws will say "Drag object."Turn back on your PC cursor, with Caps lock+semi-colon, or the numpad-plus key.Finally, move down the list with arrow keys to find "Survey Command," or whatever you called it. Press the drag and drop hotkey again and Jaws should say, "Dragging your ship name to srv- Survey Command." nOte that if you do this using the Jaws cursor alone, it won't find the object you're dragging, for some reason, but using the combination of Jaws and PC it works fine.Repeat this process for the other ship you want to transfer.I hope this helps. I just confirmed that it works over here, so if you have any trouble I can try to clarify.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars rashad,The game's default "survey fleet," is nothing special. It's basically just a placeholder the game provides at the start.The thing to understand about fleets in this game is that, generally, location is tracked on a fleet basis, not for individual ships. Fleets can be composed of any number of ships, including zero, which is where your default "Survey fleet," "Battle fleet," etc. start out. THey're really not useful for anything in themselves.What is probably closer to what you want is to define a survey-specific admin command. Admin commands are basically a way to organize fleets under a commander who will provide bonuses to the entire structure. THere's more info on them on this wiki page. If you create a survey admin command, you can then assign an officer of the proper rank to be commander for that command, and he will provide his survey bonus to any fleets under it.To summarize, fleets are always at a specific location, and can be empty. Admin commands are based out of a specific population, like Earth, and allow you to organize fleets by purpose and provide bonuses to them depending on the kind of command in question. You probably just want to delete the survey fleet or use it as the destination for your shipyards when they're done building new units.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Rashad,I've been exploring all the combo boxes you mention with Jaws and the only potentially weird behavior I notice is around tech which you don't have the ability to construct yet, such as jump engines without jump point theory. It's not been consistently doing anything like reading the previous option. I'll keep an eye out and see if I can reproduce this somehow. Which version of Jaws are you running?Regarding survey ships, in short, you can either detach the ships individually, using the detach button, or drag and drop them from one place in the fleet tree view to another. It's more or less equivalent, you want them all in their own individual fleets for maximum coverage.Once you get the ships into individual fleets, you then can either order them individually on their "fleet movement," tabs, or assign standing orders for survey on the "Standing Orders," tab. You also assign conditional orders from there, such as refuel when fuel is less than 50%.Hope this helps. The audio tutorial we recorded yesterday goes over this very subject near the end. Please ask if you have questions, it's what we're here for.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars The Jaws thing is pretty consistent, I get the unpredictable announcement of what's selected in combo boxes in most places, such as the dropdowns in the create tech screen that lets you select the stats of your tech. If I listed all of the places this happens it would be a very long list, just assume it happens with every combo box that isn't a table.The other issue, Jaws reading nothing at all, is a lot rarer. So far the main place where I've noticed it is on the shipyards screen, in the combo box that lets you pick activities such as create new slipway, as well as in the ship creation boxes.Completely unrelated, could someone talk about how surveying works in detail? I've created survey ships, however following the instructions on the wiki, which I assume are from an older version, have gotten me nowhere. Do I still have to detach each ship individually? Once I've done that, how do I set orders?

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars The other two fields are actually just weird accessibility issues, as they aren't actually visible to sighted players. I meant to report them as a bug but always got distracted. They can be ignored.rashad, I've not seen weird combo box behavior with Jaws, but I've generally played with NVDA. Can you give examples of places where that happens and I'll see if I can figure out what's going on?

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Hi Majno.The no name update will make it so even if you change the attributes of the project it won't dynamically update the name. THis is good if you have a custom name already.The prototype button allows you to create a prototype to use in class design to see what it looks like without first having to research the project, but ships with prototypes can not be retooled.I do not know about the two other fields, but maybe Zak does.Soon there's going to be another tutorial installment where we discuss research projects and class design.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Jaws user here, wondering if anyone knows of a way to get Jaws to behave better with the game's combo boxes? in some, Jaws fails to consistently read the currently selected item, instead reading the previously selected item every time I hit the arrow keys (I only found this out by tabbing out and back into combo boxes and finding out that the thing I though I'd selected wasn't). In others, Jaws reads nothing at all.Hoping someone has suggestions. I've tried with NVDA and everything is read out more reliably, I just would prefer not to use NVDA for various reasons.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Part 1 of the aurora tutorials is here.In this we go through the basics of setting up a new game, briefly discuss commanders, have a look at the economics window, and discuss turns and events.I originally was going to make it video but I realized that I was only listening in to Zak's NVDA and all the video shows is an oBS screen Then we had some audio issues in the middle so I used Goldwave to edit the file, but couldn't convert it back to video. The plan was also to upload it to Youtube.https://www.dropbox.com/s/e2oq7z2egjw78 … 1.mp3?dl=1In the next installment, which might be recorded later today or sometime next week the plan is to discuss ship components (research projects) and ship design, and if time permits the basics of the naval organization screen.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Yes, you can. Just download the game and extract it into the same place. I have not checked this morning to see if the forum is back up, but if you download my version I linked earlier, you’ll need to probably put that somewhere else that’s already 1.11 of course.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Firefly,Unfortunately there aren't any translations I'm aware of. The best thing I can suggest is to ask if you're ever confused by something. A lot of the game uses abbreviations and sci-fi jargon which doesn't translate well in any case. Also as a note, the game forums are currently down. You can grab my copy of version of 1.11 at this Dropbox link.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Of course, the moment i think that we're done with database patches for a while along comes another one This is version 1.11.0, and has a couple small accessibility/usability fixes on top f major save game fixes. As with all database patches, it isn't compatible with older games. You can download it here. I will update the OP.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars Yes, and it has a few accessibility fixes despite not mentioning that in the change log. There are now labels for the missile and turret design windows, and combat will be considerably easier since it now displays distance information in the tree view. In addition, there are hotkeys, though there is currently a bug which prevents you from closing windows with alt+F4, which hopefully can be fixed soon.

Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars A good rule of thumb is that if you don't know what an error message is about, search the forum or ask on the Discord. Most of the errors you get will not mess up your game, though they may be a symptom of a bug somewhere. There is a forum dedicated to bug reports where people can submit them. You will probably find not a lot of issues, the current version is quite stable.
