This is where we as a community should put our foot down against such things
as charge backs, pirates, etc. We are really a small market that noone will
program if their stuff is being pirated. The person can be happy the
programmer isn't naming him as I'm sure we as the community wouldn't have
let this go.

I just hope the site does not die with the company so those that wish to can
download the games.
Still I am not complaining, I have all the games,both free and registered,
and I was never able to beat treasure hunt even on easy even with the

Oh well, this is a test for all and there are still a few around.
Its a pitty bpc died though, they did play a major part in things, I was

  I started out around 2001 I think. my goal was to create games for
blind people. at first they were free, and then suddenly I started
charging, because Treasure Hunt had become a real first person
shooter complete with an overall objective.
That was when I had lots of time, and, most importantly, motivation.
I wanted to leave a mark in the so-called blind gaming community,
because I realized something quite quickly.
We had too many rated E games, games for kids rather than adults.
So began my major upgrade to Treasure Hunt. There's a common
misconception that I just wanted to expand the game and put more
features in it, bringing it up from version three to four. The real
reason was that we needed more serious action games; games which run
around a storyline.
So now we were in the four year round about of BPC's life. Treasure
Hunt was released six months later, I believe February of 2005.
Now, everyone who followed the evolution of Treasure Hunt remembers
the major patch upgrades. The game was quite bug-filled, which showed
me that my skills in programming actually weren't as well-planted as
I had thought they were.
And, of course, my beta testers were jokes, save a select few (you
know who you are)
So from Feburary 2005 to early 2006, I was releasing patch after
patch. That was my job; it wasn't a good experience for me at all,
and I quickly realized Treasure Hunt was, in itself, a failure. The
game turned out to be rated E although I had hoped it wouldn't be,
and some things did not work for no apparent reason.
After this period of patch releasing, I arived at the first really
stable version of Treasure Hunt, 4.25, and that's when I was able to
turn my attention to the finances of the organization.  Payments were
coming in nicely the first couple months, then declined. They went
back up in December of 2005, thanks to Christmas shoppers. Developers
love Christmas.
Finally, I saw a steady drop of purchases, In March, I made one sale,
April was zero, and May was around that number.  But then came a
further change, and it was not a pleasant one.
someone actually filed a charge back against me. Can you believe the
morality of this person? I won't name them, but they will know who
they are when they read this. This individual had bought a copy of
the game from me, and then turned around and claimed that I made an
unauthorized purchase to their credit card.
Not only did Pay Pal refund their money, they also gave them $10.00
extra. This leech was paid $10.00 for buying my game!
I had given them the registration key and everything, I saw no fault
with the order. They got what they paid for.
Now, Consider all of what I have said. I did consider everything, and
I'll briefly recap.
Treasure Hunt was a rated E game when it wasn't supposed to be;
someone accused me of credit card fraud, something which degraded my
reputation greatly; there was no more money being made; I lost my
motivation; and, finally, I hated all those 13-year-olds trying to
make games.  Unfortunately, people seem to trust any word of mouth
they get, even if it's from one person only, My sales went down
dramatically after the chargeback.
So, now it was June. One fine day, I decided to just throw it all
away. I will admit it can be called cowardly for me to do so, but I
did not really have a choice. Pressing on would have resulted in a
lawsuit, which I do not have the money to fund, A plane which started
off quickly and then crash landed, that's what happened with
BPCPrograms, SD, And that, my fellow gamers, was the story of the
BPCPrograms Software Division.

that is an extremely sad story, especially the business with the charges 
filed, the hole suing culture has gone quite out of hand in many respects, 
and it's sad that this has had such an effect on the audio game's markit, I 
do agree that the audio gamers community needs to support our developers, 
not sue them or pirate their games.

One thing does occur to me though.

After I first discovered audio games last year, I investigated quite a few 
audio games, including treasurehunt. Unfortunately, the game required net 
Framework v1, which I couldn't get working at all, I know now this was due 
to it's habbit of creating extra user accounts, but at the time I just 
thought something was going completely wrong with my computer.

As thomas ward said though, Net framework v2 doesn't have any of those 
problems, and I now have a completely working version, and if treasurehunt 
was stil available, I would certainly have downloaded the game and quite 
possibly bought it, I'm sure this probably goes for others as well.

I hope at some point Munawar will return to accessible games developement, 
sinse it is games with a complex story line that (imho), we most need.

the official rating of a game (E or whatever), Imho doesn't matter so much 
as it's complexity, and it sounds like treasurehunt had plenty of that.

Beware the Greu!

Dark.

turn my attention to the finances of the organization.  Payments were
coming in nicely the first couple months, then declined. They went
back up in December of 2005, thanks to Christmas shoppers. Developers
love Christmas.
Finally, I saw a steady drop of purchases, In March, I made one sale,
April was zero, and May was around that number.  But then came a
further change, and it was not a pleasant one.
someone actually filed a charge back against me. Can you believe the
morality of this person? I won't name them, but they will know who
they are when they read this. This individual had bought a copy of
the game from me, and then turned around and claimed that I made an
unauthorized purchase to their credit card.
Not only did Pay Pal refund their money, they also gave them $10.00
extra. This leech was paid $10.00 for buying my game!
I had given them the registration key and everything, I saw no fault
with the order. They got what they paid for.
Now, Consider all of what I have said. I did consider everything, and
I'll briefly recap.
Treasure Hunt was a rated E game when it wasn't supposed to be;
someone accused me of credit card fraud, something which degraded my
reputation greatly; there was no more money being made; I lost my
motivation; and, finally, I hated all those 13-year-olds trying to
make games.  Unfortunately, people seem to trust any word of mouth
they get, even if it's from one person only, My sales went down
dramatically after the chargeback.
So, now it was June. One fine day, I decided to just throw it all
away. I will admit it can be called cowardly for me to do so, but I
did not really have a choice. Pressing on would have resulted in a
lawsuit, which I do not have the money to fund, A plane which started
off quickly and then crash landed, that's what happened with
BPCPrograms, SD, And that, my fellow gamers, was the story of the
BPCPrograms Software Division.
message ends
I've no idea if Munawar would want to put up treasure hunt for free
like what was done with self destruct and danger city but I suspect
not considering all that's happened.
Take care

 Sounds exactly like Hi Q, in which you start with the center hole blank,
 jumping into an empty space as in checkers, removing the jumped piece, 
 and
 trying to end up with only one piece left on the board, that piece being
 in
 the center space.  Not all that easy.  To make Hi Q even harder, you had
 one
 odd colored piece.  Place it in the correct place at the beginning, then
 play until only the odd colored piece remains on the board, in the center
 space.

Re: [Audyssey] blank block from lite tech interactive

2006-12-04 Thread Dark
I've also played the board game before under the name of solitare. According 
to this Wikipedia entry on the subject, 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peg_solitaire) the board game is known as 
solitare mainly here in England, and the solitare card games were 
traditionally called patience. my grandmar always referred to seven card 
stack patience meaning the standard solitare game.

I'm glad that Light tech have made the Blank block game easier than the peg 
Solitare game I knew, because as has already been said, that game is 
murderously hard (hence my looking it up on Wikipedia).

Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] blank block from lite tech interactive

2006-12-04 Thread Charles Rivard
That's some interesting info.  Thanks for posting it.  By the way, I have 
just tried blank block, and am addicted.  It's played like the game Hi Q, 
only it's better.  The only suggestion I have so far would be to have the 
game say blank if a row or column is cleared.  This would save time and be 
easier to keep track of. rather than it say that each space is blank, blank, 
blank, and so on.

 Hi Niall,
 I had to remove the dungeon level from the demo because I added more
 rooms
 to the ground floor and dungeon and it made the demo level too large.
 In testing it out it was like walking through molasses.
 So you get the ground floor and basement free.
 When I added the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor commonrooms, I realized I had
 left
 out the Slytherin.
 On the ground floor I added the Staff room which was just a door in the
 earlier version.

The game that I have played is exactly as you have said.  a board with 33 
holes and you have 32 pegs.  You jump over pegs and remove the one being

 Sounds exactly like Hi Q, in which you start with the center hole blank,
 jumping into an empty space as in checkers, removing the jumped piece,
 and
 trying to end up with only one piece left on the board, that piece being
 in
 the center space.  Not all that easy.  To make Hi Q even harder, you had
 one
 odd colored piece.  Place it in the correct place at the beginning, then
 play until only the odd colored piece remains on the board, in the 
 center
 space.

 Hello all

  Let me apoloogize for somehow missing any sort of announcement about
 the
 release of this game from Lite tech Interactive in the last issue of
 Audyssey.  In fact for some reason I seem to have missed what I think
 should
 have been a couple additions in the Dev section  I'm rather puzzled as
 to
 how.

  Anyway this game puts me in mind of one that used to be around Hi-Q I
 think it was called.   I haven't yet played around alot but it seems 
 to
 be
 equally as tough and enjoyable as the other mentiond was.  Be great to
 have
 a review of this one or any others found.

Re: [Audyssey] Unlocking self-destruct

2006-12-04 Thread nicol
The  part walking through a door where a wall once was isn't a bug. It's a
feature in the game. In level 10 whether you manage to complete the upper
floor with the holes in it or you try to  teleport you have to find room 70
and then walk to your right. I find holding down the right arrow while you
are in room  70 will move your  character quickly. Because you have a minute
to find the door but if you hold down your right arrow key you will manage
to walk to the door in a  few seconds. If you get to room 100  on the upper
floor in level 10 you have to press a button in room1 before finding room70.

old man Stanley either, left right or middle. The manual doesn't sayh this,
the manual only sayh that you hit old man stanly with either left or right

The arrows work better for me.

Re: [Audyssey] ATTN!! message from Munawar bijani about bpcprograms

2006-12-04 Thread djc
While I myself didn't buy treasure hunt I appreciated his free offerings
and I still have them. I'm always sorry to read this kind of a situation
because there are some damn fine programmers in the blind community. So the
person who did this to him stole the game pure and simple. That's Ok Steve
because the Lord will remember.

--

  I started out around 2001 I think. my goal was to create games for 
blind people. at first they were free, and then suddenly I started 
charging, because Treasure Hunt had become a real first person 
shooter complete with an overall objective.
That was when I had lots of time, and, most importantly, motivation. 
I wanted to leave a mark in the so-called blind gaming community, 
because I realized something quite quickly.
We had too many rated E games, games for kids rather than adults.
So began my major upgrade to Treasure Hunt. There's a common 
misconception that I just wanted to expand the game and put more 
features in it, bringing it up from version three to four. The real 
reason was that we needed more serious action games; games which run 
around a storyline.
So now we were in the four year round about of BPC's life. Treasure 
Hunt was released six months later, I believe February of 2005.
Now, everyone who followed the evolution of Treasure Hunt remembers 
the major patch upgrades. The game was quite bug-filled, which showed 
me that my skills in programming actually weren't as well-planted as 
I had thought they were.
And, of course, my beta testers were jokes, save a select few (you 
know who you are)
So from Feburary 2005 to early 2006, I was releasing patch after 
patch. That was my job; it wasn't a good experience for me at all, 
and I quickly realized Treasure Hunt was, in itself, a failure. The 
game turned out to be rated E although I had hoped it wouldn't be, 
and some things did not work for no apparent reason.
After this period of patch releasing, I arived at the first really 
stable version of Treasure Hunt, 4.25, and that's when I was able to 
turn my attention to the finances of the organization.  Payments were 
coming in nicely the first couple months, then declined. They went 
back up in December of 2005, thanks to Christmas shoppers. Developers 
love Christmas.
Finally, I saw a steady drop of purchases, In March, I made one sale, 
April was zero, and May was around that number.  But then came a 
further change, and it was not a pleasant one.
someone actually filed a charge back against me. Can you believe the 
morality of this person? I won't name them, but they will know who 
they are when they read this. This individual had bought a copy of 
the game from me, and then turned around and claimed that I made an 
unauthorized purchase to their credit card.
Not only did Pay Pal refund their money, they also gave them $10.00 
extra. This leech was paid $10.00 for buying my game!
I had given them the registration key and everything, I saw no fault 
with the order. They got what they paid for.
Now, Consider all of what I have said. I did consider everything, and 
I'll briefly recap.
Treasure Hunt was a rated E game when it wasn't supposed to be; 
someone accused me of credit card fraud, something which degraded my 
reputation greatly; there was no more money being made; I lost my 
motivation; and, finally, I hated all those 13-year-olds trying to 
make games.  Unfortunately, people seem to trust any word of mouth 
they get, even if it's from one person only, My sales went down 
dramatically after the chargeback.
So, now it was June. One fine day, I decided to just throw it all 
away. I will admit it can be called cowardly for me to do so, but I 
did not really have a choice. Pressing on would have resulted in a 
lawsuit, which I do not have the money to fund, A plane which started 
off quickly and then crash landed, that's what happened with 
BPCPrograms, SD, And that, my fellow gamers, was the story of the 
BPCPrograms Software Division.
message ends
I've no idea if Munawar would want to put up treasure hunt for free 
like what was done with self destruct and danger city but I suspect 
not considering all that's happened.
Take care

by a piece of wood whittles that would work. I don't know what this version
was called.

 Sounds exactly like Hi Q, in which you start with the center hole blank,
 jumping into an empty space as in checkers, removing the jumped piece, and
 trying to end up with only one piece left on the board, that piece being
in
 the center space.  Not all that easy.  To make Hi Q even harder, you had
one
 odd colored piece.  Place it in the correct place at the beginning, then
 play until only the odd colored piece remains on the board, in the center
 space.

you
  had rows of 3, 3, 7, 7, 7, 3, 3. was quite interesting.

  Hello all
 
   Let me apoloogize for somehow missing any sort of announcement about
the
  release of this game from Lite tech Interactive in the last issue of
  Audyssey.  In fact for some reason I seem to have missed what I think
  should
  have been a couple additions in the Dev section  I'm rather puzzled as
to
  how.
 
   Anyway this game puts me in mind of one that used to be around Hi-Q I
  think it was called.   I haven't yet played around alot but it seems to
  be
  equally as tough and enjoyable as the other mentiond was.  Be great to
  have
  a review of this one or any others found.

Hi. I downloaded the new dotnet installer on 28th november, so I dont 
know if there is a better version available yet.
All I get when I run final conflict is a message that says stfc.exe 
has encountered a problem and needs to close, there is no details 
button one can click on or anything.

  I started out around 2001 I think. my goal was to create games for

charging, because Treasure Hunt had become a real first person 
shooter complete with an overall objective.
That was when I had lots of time, and, most importantly, motivation. 
I wanted to leave a mark in the so-called blind gaming community, 
because I realized something quite quickly.
We had too many rated E games, games for kids rather than adults.
So began my major upgrade to Treasure Hunt. There's a common 
misconception that I just wanted to expand the game and put more 
features in it, bringing it up from version three to four. The real 
reason was that we needed more serious action games; games which run 
around a storyline.
So now we were in the four year round about of BPC's life. Treasure 
Hunt was released six months later, I believe February of 2005.
Now, everyone who followed the evolution of Treasure Hunt remembers 
the major patch upgrades. The game was quite bug-filled, which showed 
me that my skills in programming actually weren't as well-planted as 
I had thought they were.
And, of course, my beta testers were jokes, save a select few (you 
know who you are)
So from Feburary 2005 to early 2006, I was releasing patch after 
patch. That was my job; it wasn't a good experience for me at all, 
and I quickly realized Treasure Hunt was, in itself, a failure. The 
game turned out to be rated E although I had hoped it wouldn't be, 
and some things did not work for no apparent reason.
After this period of patch releasing, I arived at the first really 
stable version of Treasure Hunt, 4.25, and that's when I was able to 
turn my attention to the finances of the organization.  Payments were 
coming in nicely the first couple months, then declined. They went 
back up in December of 2005, thanks to Christmas shoppers. Developers 
love Christmas.
Finally, I saw a steady drop of purchases, In March, I made one sale, 
April was zero, and May was around that number.  But then came a 
further change, and it was not a pleasant one.
someone actually filed a charge back against me. Can you believe the 
morality of this person? I won't name them, but they will know who 
they are when they read this. This individual had bought a copy of 
the game from me, and then turned around and claimed that I made an 
unauthorized purchase to their credit card.
Not only did Pay Pal refund their money, they also gave them $10.00 
extra. This leech was paid $10.00 for buying my game!
I had given them the registration key and everything, I saw no fault 
with the order. They got what they paid for.
Now, Consider all of what I have said. I did consider everything, and 
I'll briefly recap.
Treasure Hunt was a rated E game when it wasn't supposed to be; 
someone accused me of credit card fraud, something which degraded my 
reputation greatly; there was no more money being made; I lost my 
motivation; and, finally, I hated all those 13-year-olds trying to 
make games.  Unfortunately, people seem to trust any word of mouth 
they get, even if it's from one person only, My sales went down 
dramatically after the chargeback.
So, now it was June. One fine day, I decided to just throw it all 
away. I will admit it can be called cowardly for me to do so, but I 
did not really have a choice. Pressing on would have resulted in a 
lawsuit, which I do not have the money to fund, A plane which started 
off quickly and then crash landed, that's what happened with 
BPCPrograms, SD, And that, my fellow gamers, was the story of the

I'd be willing to bet I know who it was that filed the false charge against 
Munawar, but like Munawar I won't name my suspect. I would be willing to 
bet, however, that it was one of those thirteen-year-olds who claim to make

of being frauds. Like I said, I won't say who I think it was.

So from Feburary 2005 to early 2006, I was releasing patch after
patch. That was my job; it wasn't a good experience for me at all,
and I quickly realized Treasure Hunt was, in itself, a failure. The
game turned out to be rated E although I had hoped it wouldn't be,
and some things did not work for no apparent reason.
After this period of patch releasing, I arived at the first really
stable version of Treasure Hunt, 4.25, and that's when I was able to
turn my attention to the finances of the organization.  Payments were
coming in nicely the first couple months, then declined. They went
back up in December of 2005, thanks to Christmas shoppers. Developers
love Christmas.
Finally, I saw a steady drop of purchases, In March, I made one sale,
April was zero, and May was around that number.  But then came a
further change, and it was not a pleasant one.
someone actually filed a charge back against me. Can you believe the
morality of this person? I won't name them, but they will know who
they are when they read this. This individual had bought a copy of
the game from me, and then turned around and claimed that I made an
unauthorized purchase to their credit card.
Not only did Pay Pal refund their money, they also gave them $10.00
extra. This leech was paid $10.00 for buying my game!
I had given them the registration key and everything, I saw no fault
with the order. They got what they paid for.
Now, Consider all of what I have said. I did consider everything, and
I'll briefly recap.
Treasure Hunt was a rated E game when it wasn't supposed to be;
someone accused me of credit card fraud, something which degraded my
reputation greatly; there was no more money being made; I lost my
motivation; and, finally, I hated all those

 Poor Thomas. He no sooner releases the game after two years of work
 and we're all having practically the same problem. About the only
 comfort I find in this situation is that I'm not the only one having
 the issue, so it's not just my computer. Like I said earlier I wonder
 why it never manifested itself in the testing? Probably just to make
 Tom's life miserable. You know how computers can be. They say
 computers can't feel emotion but I think they have one, petulance.
 And no, uninstalling and reinstalling the game doesn't work. I've
 tried that twice already.

 Hello fellow gamers,

 I have downloaded and installed Star Trek Final Conflict and I get
 the same error message when trying to run the game posted earlier.
 I have downloaded and installed DirectX and Net Framework from the
 USA games site.  What is the problem?

 Hi Sky,
 That is my plan.
 I can not guarantee when the game will be released because bugs have a
 tendency to be difficult to crush some times.
 As for the Baron, he doesn't speak much since he does not talk in the 
 books
 at all.
 He groans, and coughs, and groans.
 And he especially does not like you exploring the Slytherin commonroom.

 Hi Niall,
 I had to remove the dungeon level from the demo because I added more
 rooms
 to the ground floor and dungeon and it made the demo level too large.
 In testing it out it was like walking through molasses.
 So you get the ground floor and basement free.
 When I added the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor commonrooms, I realized I 
 had
 left
 out the Slytherin.
 On the ground floor I added the Staff room which was just a door in 
 the
 earlier version.

Hi.

I know I have the latest version of net framework because I downloaded it 
very recently.

Just in case it was Direct X (I have no idea what version of Direct X I have 
on here), I downloaded the Direct X 9 files from Usa games, the minor 
problem was that direct X didn't check for my previous install, so I just 
told it to create a folder in C:\program files\direct X and extract the 
direct X files there.

I'm not sure if this has updated or not, or what to do with tese files to 
make the update happen, or to check what version of direct x I'm running.

any help with any or all of these would be much appreciated, sinse I'm 
really looking forward to playing

Thanks in advance,

Beware the Grue!

I noticed that the folder where i extracted all the direct x files had

I found a very handy file (in windowszdirect X), called direct X set up.

I! am! A fool!

Well, at least for a bonus the game is now working.

I'm extremely sorry to bother everyone!

to everyone else who got the Stfc has encountered a problem message, try 
doing what I did, download direct X, extract the files somewhere, then go 
into windows\direct X and run the set up exe.

Now if people will excuse me, I need to boldly go you know where!

Hi Bryan!

I don't remember where I read this, but they did a test with teenagers
and their computers.  When the teenagers were happy with their computer in
the games they played there computer seemed to perform  better than the
teenagers that were always upset with their computer and the games they were
playing.  I am not sure what I believe concerning that test.  However,
computers are all electronic and electrnic fields and the human body
produces some electric fields around the body. that could have some kind of
affect that is not really known, yet. It is an interesting thought whatever
the case might be.

Well brian, methinks a chip debugger sounds like what you would get if you 
removed the chip and the de  smile!

seriously, sinse you had a different error message inflicted upon you, I 
suspect it is a different problem, and I hope you can get it fixed.

Reguarding computer's personalities once my laptop decided to completely 
crash and shut down on me in a lexture of philosophy of mind where we were 
discussing the limits of artifical inteligence, and what the differences 
betwene computer and human inteligence were, the lecturer (who is a bit like 
a computer himself), had just propounded the theory that just as we don't 
find it particularly astounding that a mechanical digger can do a job that 
would take lots of people many hours of boring and back breaking labour, we 
shouldn't be impressed or surprised by computers and calculators that do a 
similar job with very repetitive and dull mental exercises like number 
crunching!

At that point my laptop decided to throw a wobler.

Makes you think doesn't it.

[Audyssey] Here's our sign...

2006-12-04 Thread Bryan Peterson
Thanks to dark, the STFC error problem now has a solution, and what a simple 
one it is. If Thomas or anyone had any of Bill Engvall's famous signs to hand 
out, I'm sure a lot of us would be wearing them. It seems that when you 
download the DirectX file and run it, you aren't exactly installing the 
program. You must then go to wherever you extracted the files to and run the 
Dxsetup executable. Then, and only then, will the program be installed. Out of 
desperation I tried this and, needless to say, it worked. So I'm off to boldly 
go where no man has gone...well you know. The point is Dark was right, so he 
should be the one to hand out those signs I mentioned...

[Audyssey] STFC Errors.

2006-12-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Bryan,
I have tested the 1.0 install on two different machines locally and have 
not ben able to replicate your error locally.
One test system had 1.1.43 and 2.0 frameworks on it and it used the 2.0 
libs. The second only has net framework 2, and it ran fine.
However, since you mentioned you did have the test releases did you 
fully uninstall the betas, and delete the patch files from the 
c:\program files\USA Games\Final Conflict directory?
It's important that nothing remains of the betas as 1.0 is pretty 
incompatible with the test versions.
Another thing to try is open your
c:\program files\usa games\final conflict
directory and try and run stfc.exe from there. I am wondering if your 
working dir got set properly for the icon/program launcher.
I initially had this error you got when setup failed to correctly  set 
the working directory for stfc.

[Audyssey] STFC Errors.

2006-12-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Robin and all,
Be assured I will do all I can to figure out what is the matter, but 
honestly at this point I haven't a clue what the issue is. This error is 
new, and 1.0 hasn't been fully tested out in the wild with framework 
1.1. This was one of the final builds before the accident of losing the 
source happened.
So everyone bare with me as I pick and pry hoping to find out what is 
different about your systems, and mine.
Unfortunately, most of the problems won't likely be resolved until I can 
write a patch or a full upgrade.
Although, since it is working almost flawless here I am assuming it is 
misbehaving do to some miner incompatibility between your systems and mine.
I'll likely draft up a tech support form for everyone, and if everyone 
fills it out I can see what error might be blowing up stfc.

 I uninstalled the other STFC version before installing this version and
 also tried reinstalling this version of the game. I hope you can help me

 And then giving me a Close button

 I would guess this is the same trouble that Robin and Brian mention, accept 
 in my case for some weerd reason windows isn't giving me information about 
 the problem, merely telling me there is one.

 I hope the problem can be fixed, sinse I deffinately want to play this game. 
 Sorry about the complaint.

[Audyssey] STFC Errors.

2006-12-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Bryan,
Those are a couple of good questions, and ones I am asking myself at 
this very moment. However, there is two major changes between the 
version you are trying to get working and the test releases.
The first is .NET 2.0 support. The original game was designed around a 
1.1.43 platform. Second, the original used MSI, Microsoft Setup 
Installer, and this version uses InnoSetup. Neither is exactly earth 
shaddering changes, but something obviously broke on your, Robin's, and 
Dark's computers.

 Hi Sky,
 That is my plan.
 I can not guarantee when the game will be released because bugs have a
 tendency to be difficult to crush some times.
 As for the Baron, he doesn't speak much since he does not talk in the
 books
 at all.
 He groans, and coughs, and groans.
 And he especially does not like you exploring the Slytherin commonroom.

 I'm still working on those bugs that I want to squash before releasing

 Hi Niall,
 I had to remove the dungeon level from the demo because I added more
 rooms
 to the ground floor and dungeon and it made the demo level too large.
 In testing it out it was like walking through molasses.
 So you get the ground floor and basement free.
 When I added the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor commonrooms, I realized I
 had
 left
 out the Slytherin.
 On the ground floor I added the Staff room which was just a door in
 the
 earlier version.
 Smiles,
 Phil

[Audyssey] STFC problem

I certainly don't have a solution for that error message, but at least 
the error reports coming in tonight are all saying about the same thing.

On the bright side if I find out the cause and solution I will be able 
to universally squash this bug.

Re: [Audyssey] final conflict error

Hi,
The framework from Nov 28 should be fine. I'm going to try a couple of 
experiments here, and hopefully figure out why the error message is 
coming up, but it could frankly be anything.
One thing I'll have to try is select a select group of testers, send 
them a different exe file, and see if the error goes away.

[Audyssey] STFC Errors.

2006-12-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Yohandy,
That is interesting. I have never gotten that error with either STFC or 
Rail Racer. This seams to be a .NET thing, and likely do to something 
out of sink.
Interesting thing is that I wasn't having this error at all until I 
switched to InnoSetup which is the same setup/installer Che is using for 
Rail Racer.
The main thing I need to know is if it runs when you manually launch 
stfc.exe from the installation directory.

 sometimes get it, and sometimes not. it's totally weird, and noone can

Hi Stephen,
Excelant. I'll grab that file myself, and place it on the requirements 
page so that they will keep in touch with the latest DX updates.

 go to:
 www.microsoft.com/directx
 then download the file dxwebsetup.exe, then run it.  DirectX has been 
 updated since xpsp2 was released, and the version on your machine

 Note you'll need to have a genuine copy of windows in order to 
 download the file, and probably to install it as well.
 Hope this helps!
 btw: I can't understand why the windows update didn't pick up that my 
 version of directX was out of date. Perhaps the updater is only for 
 security vulnerabilities, though it doesn't speciffically say that on

[Audyssey] Jit Debugger was STFC error

2006-12-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Bryan,
A JIT Debugger stands for, Just In Time debugger, which is techno lingo 
for a debugger that debugs the application as it is actively running. 
Most modern languages like C#.NET and Java use JIT debuggers which will 
break at some error, and allow you to debug and even compile and 
continue the application on the  fly while it is running. Obviously, to 
do this you need a compiler, JIT Debugger, and the source.

[Audyssey] DirectX Versions.

2006-12-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi All,
Not allot of non-developers is aware of this, but Microsoft DirectX is 
constantly being updated every two to three months. For example 9.0C was 
released to the public roughly in the summer of 2004 and at that rate of 
updates that means there are no less than eight to twelve different 
versions of MS DirectX 9.0C called 9.0C. The important catch is to know 
what exact build number and date of release you have installed.
 The common release cycle is February, April, June, suggest, October, 
and December. Although, it isn't always exact that is when new updates 
usually appear. The best way to keep up to date as I am just finding out 
is to go over to the
Microsoft.com/directx
site and grab the web update utility that will always keep you up to 
date, and to update as often as necessary.

 My experience has usually been quite the opposite. It seems the happier i
am
 with my computer, the higher the likelyhood of it copping out. I mean
think
 about it. I was so excited to play the full version of STFC and guess
what?
 It doesn't work? I tried installing DirectX in both a folder in Program
 Files and also in the Windows folder and got the same message. And what
theh
 eck is a JIT Debugger anyway? Whatever it is it seems to be beyond y area

  Hi Bryan!
 
 I don't remember where I read this, but they did a test with
teenagers
  and their computers.  When the teenagers were happy with their computer
in
  the games they played there computer seemed to perform  better than the
  teenagers that were always upset with their computer and the games they
  were
  playing.  I am not sure what I believe concerning that test.  However,
  computers are all electronic and electrnic fields and the human body
  produces some electric fields around the body. that could have some kind
  of
  affect that is not really known, yet. It is an interesting thought
  whatever
  the case might be.

  Poor Thomas. He no sooner releases the game after two years of work and
  we're all having practically the same problem. About the only comfort I
  find
  in this situation is that I'm not the only one having the issue, so
it's
  not
  just my computer. Like I said earlier I wonder why it never manifested

Re: [Audyssey] final conflict error

2006-12-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Casey,
The error you described is likely do to an incompatible version of 
Microsoft DirectX as was discovered already on list. Steven's suggestion 
below seams to work everytime so far.

Stephen wrote:
go to:
www.microsoft.com/directx
then download the file dxwebsetup.exe, then run it.  DirectX has been
updated since xpsp2 was released, and the version on your machine
just won't cut it
Note you'll need to have a genuine copy of windows in order to
download the file, and probably to install it as well.
Hope this helps!
btw: I can't understand why the windows update didn't pick up that my
version of directX was out of date. Perhaps the updater is only for
security vulnerabilities, though it doesn't speciffically say that on
the webpage.

 message thoroughly as we can all learn a thing or too from it.
 --
 
   I started out around 2001 I think. my goal was to create games for
 blind people. at first they were free, and then suddenly I started
 charging, because Treasure Hunt had become a real first person
 shooter complete with an overall objective.
 That was when I had lots of time, and, most importantly, motivation.
 I wanted to leave a mark in the so-called blind gaming community,
 because I realized something quite quickly.
 We had too many rated E games, games for kids rather than adults.
 So began my major upgrade to Treasure Hunt. There's a common
 misconception that I just wanted to expand the game and put more
 features in it, bringing it up from version three to four. The real
 reason was that we needed more serious action games; games which run
 around a storyline.
 So now we were in the four year round about of BPC's life. Treasure
 Hunt was released six months later, I believe February of 2005.
 Now, everyone who followed the evolution of Treasure Hunt remembers
 the major patch upgrades. The game was quite bug-filled, which showed
 me that my skills in programming actually weren't as well-planted as
 I had thought they were.
 And, of course, my beta testers were jokes, save a select few (you
 know who you are)
 So from Feburary 2005 to early 2006, I was releasing patch after
 patch. That was my job; it wasn't a good experience for me at all,
 and I quickly realized Treasure Hunt was, in itself, a failure. The
 game turned out to be rated E although I had hoped it wouldn't be,
 and some things did not work for no apparent reason.
 After this period of patch releasing, I arived at the first really
 stable version of Treasure Hunt, 4.25, and that's when I was able to
 turn my attention to the finances of the organization.  Payments were
 coming in nicely the first couple months, then declined. They went
 back up in December of 2005, thanks to Christmas shoppers. Developers
 love Christmas.
 Finally, I saw a steady drop of purchases, In March, I made one sale,
 April was zero, and May was around that number.  But then came a
 further change, and it was not a pleasant one.
 someone actually filed a charge back against me. Can you believe the
 morality of this person? I won't name them, but they will know who
 they are when they read this. This individual had bought a copy of
 the game from me, and then turned around and claimed that I made an
 unauthorized purchase to their credit card.
 Not only did Pay Pal refund their money, they also gave them $10.00
 extra. This leech was paid $10.00 for buying my game!
 I had given them the registration key and everything, I saw no fault
 with the order. They got what they paid for.
 Now, Consider all of what I have said. I did consider everything, and
 I'll briefly recap.
 Treasure Hunt was a rated E game when it wasn't supposed to be;
 someone accused me of credit card fraud, something which degraded my
 reputation greatly; there was no more money being made; I lost my
 motivation; and, finally, I hated all those 13-year-olds trying to
 make games.  Unfortunately, people seem to trust any word of mouth
 they get, even if it's from one person only, My sales went down
 dramatically after the chargeback.
 So, now it was June. One fine day, I decided to just throw it all
 away. I will admit it can be called cowardly for me to do so, but I
 did not really have a choice. Pressing on would have resulted in a
 lawsuit, which I do not have the money to fund, A plane which started
 off quickly and then crash landed, that's what happened with
 BPCPrograms, SD, And that, my fellow gamers, was the story of the
 BPCPrograms Software Division.

the directx version avaible to ms updating software is 2004 or there abouts,

you are away, the site is loaded with adds, popups and things, and they have

Without that site I wouldn't have what I have today its saved my rear loads of

I need to use photons and quontoms to destroy a romulan and phasers.
On cardations I need to use phasers and torps, and klingons I also need to do

Also power on defient does not properly restock always staying at 90% so I have

 And, of course, my beta testers were jokes, save a select few (you
 know who you are)
 So from Feburary 2005 to early 2006, I was releasing patch after
 patch. That was my job; it wasn't a good experience for me at all,
 and I quickly realized Treasure Hunt was, in itself, a failure. The
 game turned out to be rated E although I had hoped it wouldn't be,
 and some things did not work for no apparent reason.
 After this period of patch releasing, I arived at the first really
 stable version of Treasure Hunt, 4.25, and that's when I was able to
 turn my attention to the finances of the organization.  Payments were
 coming in nicely the first couple months, then declined. They went
 back up in December of 2005, thanks to Christmas shoppers. Developers
 love Christmas.
 Finally, I saw a steady drop of purchases, In March, I made one sale,
 April was zero, and May was around that number.  But then came a
 further change, and it was not a pleasant one.
 someone actually filed a charge back against me. Can you believe the
 morality of this person? I won't name them, but they will know who
 they are when they read this. This individual had bought a copy of
 the game from me, and then turned around and claimed that I made an
 unauthorized purchase to their credit card.
 Not only did Pay Pal refund their money, they also gave them $10.00
 extra. This leech was paid $10.00 for buying my game!
 I had given them the registration key and everything, I saw no fault
 with the order. They got what they paid for.
 Now, Consider all of what I have said. I did consider everything, and
 I'll briefly recap.
 Treasure Hunt was a rated E game when it wasn't supposed to be;
 someone accused me of credit card fraud, something which degraded my
 reputation greatly; there was no more money being made; I lost my
 motivation; and, finally, I hated all those 13-year-olds trying to
 make games.  Unfortunately, people seem to trust any word of mouth
 they get, even if it's from one person only, My sales went down
 dramatically after the chargeback.
 So, now it was June. One fine day, I decided to just throw it all
 away. I will admit it can be called cowardly for me to do so, but I
 did not really have a choice. Pressing on would have resulted in a
 lawsuit, which I do not have the money to fund, A plane which started
 off quickly and then crash landed, that's what happened

 This is where we as a community should put our foot down against such 
 things
 as charge backs, pirates, etc. We are really a small market that noone 
 will
 program if their stuff is being pirated. The person can be happy the
 programmer isn't naming him as I'm sure we as the community wouldn't have
 let this go.

 its a pitty this has to happen.
 I just hope the site does not die with the company so those that wish to

 download the games.
 Still I am not complaining, I have all the games,both free and registered,
 and I was never able to beat treasure hunt even on easy even with the
 modified sound packs.
 Oh well, this is a test for all and there are still a few around.
 Its a pitty bpc died though, they did play a major part in things, I was

message thoroughly as we can all learn a thing or too from it.
--

  I started out around 2001 I think. my goal was to create games for
blind people. at first they were free, and then suddenly I started
charging, because Treasure Hunt had become a real first person
shooter complete with an overall objective.
That was when I had lots of time, and, most importantly, motivation.
I wanted to leave a mark in the so-called blind gaming community,
because I realized something quite quickly.
We had too many rated E games, games for kids rather than adults.
So began my major upgrade to Treasure Hunt. There's a common
misconception that I just wanted to expand the game and put more
features in it, bringing it up from version three to four. The real
reason was that we needed more serious action games; games which run
around a storyline.
So now we were in the four year round about of BPC's life. Treasure
Hunt was released six months later, I believe February of 2005.
Now, everyone who followed the evolution of Treasure Hunt remembers
the major patch upgrades. The game was quite bug-filled, which showed
me that my skills in programming actually weren't as well-planted as
I had thought they were.
And, of course, my beta testers were jokes, save a select few (you
know who you are)

 Thanks to dark, the STFC error problem now has a solution, and what a 
 simple one it is. If Thomas or anyone had any of Bill Engvall's famous 
 signs to hand out, I'm sure a lot of us would be wearing them. It seems 
 that when you download the DirectX file and run it, you aren't exactly 
 installing the program. You must then go to wherever you extracted the 
 files to and run the Dxsetup executable. Then, and only then, will the 
 program be installed. Out of desperation I tried this and, needless to 
 say, it worked. So I'm off to boldly go where no man has gone...well you 
 know. The point is Dark was right, so he should be the one to hand out 
 those signs I mentioned...

Re: [Audyssey] STFC Errors.

2006-12-04 Thread Yohandy
No no. the game's running fine for me, I was just telling folks on here that 
I've had that problem with rail racer. It seems to happen randomly though, 
and only when I run the game from the shortcuts. it happens more often from 
the start menu shortcut than the desktop, which does not make any sence.

Subject: [Audyssey] STFC Errors.


 Hi Yohandy,
 That is interesting. I have never gotten that error with either STFC or
 Rail Racer. This seams to be a .NET thing, and likely do to something
 out of sink.
 Interesting thing is that I wasn't having this error at all until I
 switched to InnoSetup which is the same setup/installer Che is using for
 Rail Racer.
 The main thing I need to know is if it runs when you manually launch
 stfc.exe from the installation directory.

 I
 sometimes get it, and sometimes not. it's totally weird, and noone can
 figure it out.

Re: [Audyssey] STFC Podcast

2006-12-04 Thread Dark
Aaaah Brian, you've pre-empted me on this on (and I was looking forward to 
doing my next gen impressions ;D).

Seriously, I'm looking forward to the pod cast, particularly because I 
probably need some stratogy tips, sinse I'm rather bad (and this goes for 
Trek 2000 as well), at attacking the enemy ships before they attack one of 
mine first, the only way I've ever won with trek 2000 is by grouping all my 
ships in a big clump, and hoping to wether what the badguys throw at me and 
use the multiple ships to dish out lots of damage, but obviously, there are 
situations where this doesn't work.

Beware the Grue!

 Hi all,
  After finally getting STFC to work on my machine thanks to Dark's 
 suggestion, I decided to celebrate by doing a podcast on it. I'd say look 
 for it on Blind Cool Tech sometime over the next few days. I just sent it 
 off to them tonight so it'll be at least two days I would think.
