[Audyssey] Problem with sound rts multiplayer
Hi all, Ken and I were playing our tournament game tonight, when we realized that my game was running much faster than his. I was hosting the server, and that seems to make a difference, as Ken had noticed before a speed difference when playing with others. We checked this by having the same amount of peasants build a stables at the exact same time, when mine was finished, his was still on 3. Obviously, this won't do for multiplaying this game, as it gives an amazing advantage to the person hosting the server. I attempted to run the game on my dedicated server in the hopes of having a neutral host, but the game would not run on the dedicated server, perhaps because it doesn't have the proper sound card installed, not sure. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas how to fix this problem, of ir Jean-Luc is reading this and can give us some advice, it would be much appreciated. We are going to try running the match again tomorrow night on another computer acting as host, and see how that works. This explains a lot about some recent matches of mine though, the other day i was attacked by many more knights than I myself had been able to create, and I could not figure out how that was possible given how fast I had been able to build up my troops and buildings. I really hope this problem can be fixed soon, as it totally ruins online play. I will update the list if I figure anything out. Later, Che ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Problem with sound rts multiplayer
Also, what about limiting the amount of messages sent--for example, the server doesn't have to manage what the units are doing and the other computer doesn't need to know if my peasants are mining or chopping wood. Also, checks on peasants need be done only once every three seconds or so since that's how long it takes them to move from one square to another. One more thing: in the next version, please remove the farm cap and count the knights as one unit since they function that way--when playing two players you could have 40 peasants but, because of the caps, only 20 knights--and when you throw the mages in it's worse. Still digging this game though. It's the best. Ken Downey President DreamTechInteractive! And, Coming soon, Blind Comfort!

Re: [Audyssey] Problem with sound rts multiplayer
About the amount of messages sent by the server, it could be drastically reduced if each client simulated the world and only exchanged the orders with the other clients. For now the game is like a MUD, with a server that hosts the world and clients that only do the user interface. Improving this architecture would require a big change in the code but it may work in a not to long time. The population limit could be raised then, even if I suspect other computations to slow the game too. Moreover, a server would be able to host many games since it would only forward the orders sent by the clients. But for now, I will fix the synchronization problem. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Problem with sound rts multiplayer
Hi, Sorry for this big problem. The time of the remote client is probably drifting. For now, if you can't pause the tournament one or two days, the solutions are probably: 1. use a server hosted by a third computer to minimize the problem, but anyway I'm afraid that the game will go faster for the player with the best connexion to the server. 2. use beta 6; some testers used to beta 6 reported me that they found that the game was slower with beta 7; I can't confirm this and I don't know what could change the speed (except the food limit when it is more than 20), but it could be true. I will try to fix this quickly anyway. And for debugging purpose, I will add a clock that will ring each minute. This way you will know (if you use Skype for example) if the time is the same for the other player. This feature will be very useful anyway to time your strategies. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Problem with sound rts multiplayer
only limit population, as previously suggested and not the amount of food alowd. Yes, it might be interesting. I am afraid that it would lead to recruiting only dragons and mages. The cost of the units and the necessity of building more farms would be the only reason for not recruiting dragons and mages all the time. I will think about it. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Hi all, I have changed mainboard and also this changed to a different model of Realtek, Realtek High definition audio. On my old one i had a realtek AC97.

When i start the game i know that there is an upcoming door on to the left but it sounds from the right! Also, when I open the door the entrance sounds like if it is to the right and not to the left and i have my speakers/headphones placed correctly.

This is a game balance issue. If all units required 1 food, then in the mid/end game there would be zero incentive to build archers and footmen.

Re: [Audyssey] New audio tutorial for Sound RTS
The stuttering problem may come from not enough CPU. Maybe the computer CPU is overloaded by other processes? Here is an extract of Pygame's manual: NOTE: there is currently a bug on some windows machines which makes sound play back 'scratchy'. There is not enough cpu in the sound thread to feed the buffer to the sound api. To get around this you can increase the buffer size. However this means that there is more of a delay between the time you ask to play the sound and when it gets played. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Problem with sound rts multiplayer
I also agree with Christopher, also think about it, with some units its realistic. For example, a knight needs 2 food, because one for his horse, and one for himself. With catapults, two person needed to move and operate the catapult. The dragon is a huge beast, so it needs lots of calories, smile. Mages are using magic, and maybe magic needs calories? Lol.

Re: [Audyssey] mario brothers
Hi Nicol, Quote 1. Why is the game called marrio brothers? End quote Well, back in the early 1980's, back in the genesis, of vidio game history Nintendo got started with a game called Donkey Kong. For many reasons it was similar to King Kong. It was about this giant garilla who held a woman captive, and you, Mario,had to rescue her from Donkey Kong. Then, around the mid 1980's Nintendo Entertainment was beginning to come out with it's own new platform called the NES. The first game the designed for it was Super Mario Brothers. This one also had Mario in it, but in this game he has a brother which could be played in two player mode. In any case Mario and his brother set out to defeat the Coopas who were holding Princess Toadstool captive. Quote Was there a story about Mario brothers? Is the game based on a story? End quote All games have stories.As I mentioned above the basic story is Mario and his brother are on a rescue mission to rescue Princess Toadstool from the evil Koopas. Basically, the story takes place in the mushroom kingdom. Bowser and his army of Coopa Troopa have captured Princess Toadstool, and the only ones in the kingdom who can save her and the Mushroom kingdom is mario and his brother if you play two player mode. Mario if single player mode. Your objective is to make it to Bowser's castle,and defeat him in battle. To do that you need to collect special flowers that will make you become large, flowers to make you shrink, flowers to give you powers to cast fireballs, and of course become invincible Mario which means you have a period of time where nothing can harm you. Along the way you collect special bonuses like coins, break blocks to find special items,and all and all a fun and entertaining game. Quote 2. Can you describe to me the sound the Nintendo game makes when you loose a life in Mario brothers? End quote Um... That would be difficult. Basically, it plays a little song when you die . Quote 3. When are you planning to create an accessible Mario brothers? End quote I have no idea. I have to obviously finish Montezuma's Revenge first, and Raceway is still in the early stages. Not to mention I've become increasingly interested in making TR the next release after those releases. Cheers. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

To do that you need to collect special flowers that will make you become large, flowers to make you shrink, flowers to give you powers to cast fireballs, and of course become invincible Mario which means you have a period of time where nothing can harm you. Along the way you collect special bonuses like coins, break blocks to find special items,and all and all a fun and entertaining game. Quote 2. Can you describe to me the sound the Nintendo game makes when you loose a life in Mario brothers? End quote Um... That would be difficult. Basically, it plays a little song when you die . Quote 3. When are you planning to create an accessible Mario brothers? End quote I have no idea. I have to obviously finish Montezuma's Revenge first, and Raceway is still in the early stages. Not to mention I've become increasingly interested in making TR the next release after those releases. Cheers. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Problem with sound rts multiplayer
Hi Jean-Luc, I personally think the knights and other multiple food units is a good balance, as they are much more powerful units and should require more resources. With my game Rail Racer, the server collects position and other miscellaneous information from each player and sends out only necessary changes to all the other players, the server is able to handle multiplayer races with up to 20 players per race, and this system seems to work quite well with no degredation of game performance. One thing I think would help is to only send pertinent changes to other players in the game. For instance, if a peasant is mining gold in c3, there would be no need to send this peasants information until his objective was changed. I think by integrating such a system, the slow down would be regulated to fights, when more data would need to be sent more often to update the fight results, but I think this would be acceptable, as the fights take up a relatively small part of the game. Hope all that makes sense. Finally, any idea why the game wouldn't run on my dedicated server? When I try to run it, nothing happens, no error report or anything. Thanks for the great game man, I can't wait until the next version.

Still digging this game though. It's the best. Ken Downey I agree with removing the farm cap, but emphatically disagree with the suggestion to lower the knight food cost. This is a game balance issue. If all units required 1 food, then in the mid/end game there would be zero incentive to build archers and footmen. The constraint of having to balance numbers vs quality is a good game balance and forces more interesting tactical thinking. Christopher Bartlett ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] The new Sryth area
It is, and you need various powers and skills at level seventy in order to have any hope of completing it. Means I'm gonna have to do some serious grinding to get the maximum reward from the quest.
