Hi Valiant,

Hmmm, you are the first to report not being able to hear the Harley over the 
crowd.  I do know that the crowd does get loud when you are right against the 
garde rail, but otherwise I hear the Harley much louder.  You could try turning 
down all of the sounds and turning up the sapi speech.  That way you would at 
least hear your speedometer.

Hi Damien,

I'm sorry to hear that your sapi5 text to speech engine is not working.

You could try going to the control panel and speech to set your computer's 
default voice to one of the Microsoft voices like Sam, Mary or Mike and then 
running the DelUserLex.exe file from my site.

Another fix that I have heard of is to go to

c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech
Then, press enter on Sapisvr.exe. It won't say anything, but it should 
correct the control panel entries for Sapi.

And another fix that I have heard of is

1. Put your xp cd in and, if you have autorun turned on, hold down the left 
shift when the disk tray is closing, holding the key until the disk stops or 
slows.
2. Open the c:\windows\inf folder and highlight the sapi5.inf file.
3. Press the applications key and arrow down to install and press enter.
4. When you get the message saying file needed sapi.dll, go to browse and point 
to and open the i386 file folder and press enter on ok.
5. Go to ok on the install procedure and press enter and you're done.

Or you could put your windows XP CD in and do a system repair as the sapi5 text 
to speech engine is part of the Windows XP operating system.

Oh yeah one other thing that I have heard is that the program Total Recorder 
seems to mess with the sapi5 text to speech engine.

I hope that some of that might help.

Hi Charles,

Puppy1 does have a joystick configuration feature, so yes I can switch the gas 
and brake peddles for diving and climbing.  But using foot peddles for that as 
compared to pushing the joystick forward or pulling it back or using the up and 
down arrow keys just seems strange, or at least takes some getting used to.  
Still though the steering wheel part was cool, but I like the joystick better 
for Puppy1.

Yeah, maybe Pong was not much of a computer game, but for the first ever 
computer game etc it was and still is played one heck of allot.

I think that my next project is to add joystick support to my game of Pong.  I 
definitely will keep Marcie's voice for the game, but will need a bit of sapi 
speech for the joystick selection and configuration.  And I will have the game

Re: [Audyssey] Unbeatable games

2008-08-08 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Charles,
Actually, Pong pre-dates the era of personal computers. The first 
electronic Pong game was for the Atari 2600, and it consisted of a drab 
gray screen, two black rackets, and a black ball you and your buddy 
batted bak and forth. It definitely wasn't much to look at, but I guess 
it had some real success when it first came out.
Now, days there is a version of Pong for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. I 
personally have never been a fan of the game myself, but there are still 
plenty of people out there who like it.
As for pinball games I still like those. Especially, the tables where 
you can break things like bottles, windows, and other things. I had this 
sighted pinball game where you played on a table that looked like a 
kitchen, and if the ball hit the ketchup bottles they would make a nice 
smash sound as they shattered. Another one, I think the Alien Invasion 
table, your ball looked like a laser beam and when it hit a UFO on the 
table the UFO would make an explosion sound. Really cool stuff that.

Charles Rivard wrote:
 Not sure if it is the same thought, but people played Pong on their 
 computers when it was first introduced, and it wasn't much of a game.  How 
 about pinball tables?  They're fun, though.  Unbeatable games are fun, as 
 long as they are unbeatable in the sense that there is no end to them, 
 rather than the fact that the game always wins a contest against you.  A 
 beginning chess player would soon get tired of playing against a grand 
 master, but could, if he or she made the right moves, beat that grand 
 master.

Hello folks,

After 2,5 years of absolute silence, we have planned to release Top Speed 2.1 
at the beginning of September. With 2 new cars, 5 new tracks, a new exciting 
surface type, a heavily changed menu and more we don't talk about at the 
moment, we hope you will enjoy playing Top Speed as never before. Also, there 
are lots of bugs fixed. But before the release, we need your help.

Since it's hard to create cars for Top Speed that are realistic and high 
quality, there are only 2 cars added. That's not enough, so it's your turn to 
build a realistic and qualitative car. Send your car in a zip-file with a good 
name and description to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The best car we received before the 
first of September will be integrated in the game.

Happy building!

Hi,
Yeah, installing a from fresh Sapi install usually fixes the issues. 
However, only install Sapi 5.1 if you are running 2000/XP. Installing 
5.1 on Vista, which requires 5.3, might really fubar the speech for good.

Re: [Audyssey] Unbeatable games

2008-08-08 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Bryan,
Definitely. The classic pong didn't really have sounds. Just the typical 
beeps and boops of classic vidio game history. Pong and Combat have got 
to be the most symplistic games ever made, but they were fun at the time 
they were created. It is only now, 30years later, we can look back and 
laugh at the primative crap we use to call state-of--the-art technology.
I was reading something on the vidio industry and back in the 1970's 
people were saying Sony's beta tapes would be the vidio cassette 
standard for many years to come. They said that VHS tapes would fail, 
they are to big, no body wants a bigger, tape, and that VHS would never 
replace beta as the home vidio cassette standard. Just a couple of years 
later VCRs were selling several more units than beta machines, home 
movies were being released in VHS format, and the rest is history as 
they say.
The thing hear is technology changes so fast that we are hardly aware of 
what is coming next. Just before dvds came out VCR makers started 
releasing Super VHS, and the 8 millimeter machines were just starting to 
gain some ground in the VHS market. Next thing we know dvd players came 
out, and both Super VHS and 8 millimeter formats never made it to the 
home movie rental stage, and now that dvd recorders are pretty cheap VHS 
is all but dead except for those few who won't give up their old technology.
This same kind of thing has happened to the vidio game market. it is 
hard to believe  in the late 70's people were playing simple black and 
white games such as Pong and Combat. In 1982 games like Packman were in 
16 colors, had superior graphics, and the game play was better too. By 
1985/1986 Nintendo had graduated to its own console and blew Atari away 
with graphics, color, and game play. It didn't hurt some of the original 
NES games like Mario, Megaman, Castlevania, Double Dragon, etc has some 
kick butt music to go with the graphics and improved colors.
All and all it is hard to believe how much stuff has changed just over 
the course of my life time. This stuff is constantly changing, and one 
day we will be looking back at our 3 GHZ systems laughing about what 
slow useless crap they are. We will be running a 30 GHZ system with 200 
GB of ram , and a 40 terabit drive, laughing about the days when a 3 GHZ 
system, with 2 GB of ram,and a 300 GB drive, was cool.

Hi List.

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find 
an answer in the archives.  What I want to know is the way one 
uses the guns in Three-D Velocity's Death Match Mode.  The 
documentation explains how to target with missiles, but not guns, 
aand I'm interested to know how it's done.

It is quite easy for me to think of a God of love mainly because 
I grew up in a family where love was central and where lovely 
relationships were ever present.  It is quite easy for me to 
think of the universe as basically friendly mainly because of my 
uplifting hereditary and environmental circumstances.  It is 
quite easy for me to lean more toward optimism than pessimism 
about human nature mainly because of my childhood experiences.  
It is impossible to get at the roots of one's religious attitudes 
without taking in account the psychological and historical 
factors that play upon the individual.

[Audyssey] NVDA and Mudding

Dear List,

Does anyone know of any MUD clients (a la Monkey Term) that work 
with the free screen reader NVDA?

It is quite easy for me to think of a God of love mainly because 
I grew up in a family where love was central and where lovely 
relationships were ever present.  It is quite easy for me to 
think of the universe as basically friendly mainly because of my 
uplifting hereditary and environmental circumstances.  It is 
quite easy for me to lean more toward optimism than pessimism 
about human nature mainly because of my childhood experiences.  
It is impossible to get at the roots of one's religious attitudes 
without taking in account the psychological and historical 
factors that play upon the individual.

[Audyssey] pong update - Re: Unbeatable games

 Hi Jim,
 Yeah, despite Pong's apparent age it still has a healthy number of
 followers. I have also seen my share of sample Pong games in game
 programming books. It is usually demonstrated as a first full game
 project because of the simple graphics, symplicity of the code, and one
 on one play it offers.

 Hi Charles,

 Yeah, maybe Pong was not much of a computer game, but for the first ever 
 computer game etc it was and still is played one heck of allot.

 I think that my next project is to add joystick support to my game of 
 Pong.  I definitely will keep Marcie's voice for the game, but will need 
 a bit of sapi speech for the joystick selection and configuration.  And I 
 will have the game install to the kitchensinc folder.

[Audyssey] Moderator delayed list messages.

2008-08-08 Thread Thomas Ward
hello fellow listers,
This is just a note that the list moderators have recieved reports some 
of your messages are very slow in reaching the list. At this time I am 
unaware of what exactly is the cause of the delays in message traffic, 
but I am not without a theory of what might be going on.
Over the passed few days message traffic has been unusually high. As a 
result the message cue for mailman, which makes sure all messages get 
directed to where they are going, is probably having trouble keeping up 
with the message load. I haven't proven this theory yet, but it is a 
likely cause for delays in message traffic.
In any case the messages do eventually get delivered, but not 
necessarily the very second after they are posted. I'm writing this to 
make you aware if you check your email and the post you just sent 
doesn't arrive don't panic, rewrite a new post, or email us wondering 
what is wrong. You should probably give your message at least 24 hours 
to clear mailman, and you can always check the message archives to see 
if it has been recieved by the mailman system.  If mailman has recieved 
it and it is posted in the list archives be assured it will sooner or 
later find its way back to you and everyone else. If it is undeliverable 
for some reason you should get an email back from the system stating 
message was undeliverable for reason x.
Thanks.

 Hello folks,

 After 2,5 years of absolute silence, we have planned to release Top Speed 
 2.1 at the beginning of September. With 2 new cars, 5 new tracks, a new 
 exciting surface type, a heavily changed menu and more we don't talk about 
 at the moment, we hope you will enjoy playing Top Speed as never before. 
 Also, there are lots of bugs fixed. But before the release, we need your 
 help.

 Since it's hard to create cars for Top Speed that are realistic and high 
 quality, there are only 2 cars added. That's not enough, so it's your turn 
 to build a realistic and qualitative car. Send your car in a zip-file with 
 a good name and description to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The best car 
 we received before the first of September will be integrated in the game.

 Happy building!
 Leonard de Ruijter

Re: [Audyssey] text adventures

2008-08-08 Thread Parham
Hi,
There are a lot of interactive fiction games, coming in all flavours and 
genres. Fantasy, science-fiction, romance, and so on. They are mostly 
puzzle-like, and require a great deal of time, determination and imagination 
to complete. There are some interpreters such as, WinFrotz (which loads 
files with the extention of .zip, .z5, .z8, .zblorb, and so on), WinTads or 
HTML Tads (which open files with .gam extentions), Adrift, Atari, JACL (the 
language I work with), and much much more.
If you are looking for a list of games, though, you can go to two best 
places on the net:
First one is Baf's Guide to the Interactive Fiction Archive at
http://www.wurb.com/if
and the second one is Interactive Fiction Database,
http://IFDB.tads.org
which has a great list of interactive fiction, with recommendations and 
ratings from other users. If you want to play any of the games in any 
platform and you want the interpreter, these four can be played, but they 
require you to use your review curser (jaws curser in Jaws, and WindowEyes 
curser in Window Eyes). Anyway, the four that can be played most easily are:
JACL games (with .j2 extentions), Tads games (with .gam extentions), adrift 
games (with .taf extentions), Inform games (with .z5, .z8, .zblorb and etc 
extentions).
If you need more information or the interpreter for any of these, please 
feel free to contact me off-list at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hope this helps!

I tried the sapisvr.exe program as I was writing this email, and that didn't 
work either. There seems to be a critical error with it, since when I select 
a voice, or preview a selected one in the control panel, it comes up with 
the following error:
Speech Properties
This voice cannot be played.  Please try selecting another voice or 
selecting a different
audio output device.
OK
This happens with every voice I select, including Microsoft Sam, and I know 
for a fact that it's not my sound card, since screenreader speech and sound 
effects play fine.
Thanks.
Regards,
Damien

 Hi Damien,

 I'm sorry to hear that your sapi5 text to speech engine is not working.

 You could try going to the control panel and speech to set your computer's 
 default voice to one of the Microsoft voices like Sam, Mary or Mike and 
 then running the DelUserLex.exe file from my site.

 Another fix that I have heard of is to go to

 c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech
 Then, press enter on Sapisvr.exe. It won't say anything, but it should
 correct the control panel entries for Sapi.

 And another fix that I have heard of is

 1. Put your xp cd in and, if you have autorun turned on, hold down the 
 left shift when the disk tray is closing, holding the key until the disk 
 stops or slows.
 2. Open the c:\windows\inf folder and highlight the sapi5.inf file.
 3. Press the applications key and arrow down to install and press enter.
 4. When you get the message saying file needed sapi.dll, go to browse and 
 point to and open the i386 file folder and press enter on ok.
 5. Go to ok on the install procedure and press enter and you're done.

 Or you could put your windows XP CD in and do a system repair as the sapi5 
 text to speech engine is part of the Windows XP operating system.

 Oh yeah one other thing that I have heard is that the program Total 
 Recorder seems to mess with the sapi5 text to speech engine.

 I hope that some of that might help.

Hi, try this. First, start rail racer and backup your settings to the web. Quit 
out of the game when is done. Next, go to c:\program files\rail racer and 
delete config.xml. Now, unzip the files from rr153Update.zip to c:\program 
files\rail racer. You should then be able to load the game. Retrieve your 
settings from the web and you are good to go.

ps: There is a pre tournament race tonight at 11pm eastern on daytona. Come

Hi Thomas,

Yeah, I played the heck out of Pong on my Atari 2600.  Sure the graphics were 
very primitive, but it didn't matter, it was still a great challenging game.  
It even had multi player mode, hockey mode etc.  But hey the ball was actually 
a little rectangle as was every thing on the screen back then.  Well you know a 
rectangle or a combination of them.  Like the car in Pole Position, the 
invaders and all in Space Invaders.  It took imagination to draw things that 
represented things and imagination to be able to tell what they were supposed 
to be. grin

 Hi,
 Duck Hunt is like that as well. After you get to level 15 or so you
 begin wondering when will the game be over. I intentionally just stop,
 because it gets tiring to keep blasting away at ducks and racking up
 huge scores.
 Now, that I look back at the classic NES I wonder what exactly it was
 about DH that made me play it all the time on the NES. Perhaps it is the
 introduction of RPGs, FPS games, that has changed my opinion of what is
 good and what is boring enough to qualify as watching paint dry.
 Now, if someone were to make a Double Dragonclone, Castlevania clone,
 Megaman clone, etc that would be pretty kick butt.

 Not sure if it is the same thought, but people played Pong on their
 computers when it was first introduced, and it wasn't much of a game.  How
 about pinball tables?  They're fun, though.  Unbeatable games are fun, as
 long as they are unbeatable in the sense that there is no end to them,
 rather than the fact that the game always wins a contest against you.  A
 beginning chess player would soon get tired of playing against a grand
 master, but could, if he or she made the right moves, beat that grand
 master.

2008-08-08 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Damien,
I guess in order for us to solve your Sapi 5 issues I think it might be 
helpful, and try to find out how it got broke in the first place. For 
example, when I was trouble shooting Sapi 5 issues for Montezuma's 
Revenge I discovered if you install some speech demos, some third-party 
Sapi voices, and later remove them all of your Sapi 5 voices may stop 
working properly.
In one case in point one of my customers installed some of the Cepstral 
voices, and when Cepstral upgraded to the latest Swift engine, he 
removed his older versions, and tried updating to the new voices. For 
whatever reason all of his Sapi voices stopped working. In the end I 
only solved his problem by talking him through a Sapi 5 reinstall from 
the Win XP recovery cd.
As it happens it is events like that which has made me personally decide 
to drop Sapi 5 support in the next release of the game now known as 
Mysteries of the Ancients. My job is game technical support, not MS Sapi 
support, but you know how some customers are. If their machine is busted 
they want it fixed pronto so they can play the game they baught, and if 
their machine is broken they blame my game for their troubles rather 
than their cranky computer. Grin.
Anyway, if you can help us out by telling us what you installed 
recently, if you have added any new Sapi voices recently, etc it would 
help out a bunch.
Cheers.

 Hi Jim,
 I have tried going to the control panel, and not even the Microsoft voices 
 work. I tried the deluserlex program, that didn't do anything. As for my 
 Windows XP CD, I lost that ages ago.
 I tried the sapisvr.exe program as I was writing this email, and that didn't 
 work either. There seems to be a critical error with it, since when I select 
 a voice, or preview a selected one in the control panel, it comes up with 
 the following error:
 Speech Properties
 This voice cannot be played.  Please try selecting another voice or 
 selecting a different
 audio output device.
 OK
 This happens with every voice I select, including Microsoft Sam, and I know 
 for a fact that it's not my sound card, since screenreader speech and sound 
 effects play fine.
 Thanks.
 Regards,
 Damien

Re: [Audyssey] Unbeatable games

2008-08-08 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Jim,
yeah, I remember that now that you mention it. I would imagine the 
reason the balls had that weird shape is do to the fact digitally 
creating squares and rectangles are infinitely easier than making 
rounded objects like balls, ovals, and other objects with a more rounded 
appearance.
I'm no expert on digital graphics technology by any means, but I have 
now and then glanced at the chapters in my game programming books on 
creating 2D and 3D graphics and it is truly interesting stuff. Even 
though I am college educated, took geometry, trig, and all that good 
stuff that stuff was a bit more mathematically challenging than I cared 
to get into at the time. Grin.

 Hi Thomas,
 
 Yeah, I played the heck out of Pong on my Atari 2600.  Sure the graphics were 
 very primitive, but it didn't matter, it was still a great challenging game.  
 It even had multi player mode, hockey mode etc.  But hey the ball was 
 actually a little rectangle as was every thing on the screen back then.  Well 
 you know a rectangle or a combination of them.  Like the car in Pole 
 Position, the invaders and all in Space Invaders.  It took imagination to 
 draw things that represented things and imagination to be able to tell what 
 they were supposed to be. grin

  Hi Ian,
  There is no password associated with the zip, very weird there that you
 got that. There may be a field in winZip for a password, but none is
 required.  Be absolutely sure you read the read me file included with the
 zip, it includes very important instructions for updating from a previous
 version.
  Out.

Re: [Audyssey] pong update - Re: Unbeatable games

2008-08-08 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Jim,
Yep, those are the controllers for pong alright. I remember them 
clearly. They were rectangle shaped, black, had two rackets painted on 
the top of them, and it had a black wheel you turned left or right to 
move your racket around on the screen.
As I recall those same controllers worked really well with Breakout and 
Super breakout. You could use the wheel to quickly center yourself under 
the ball and bounce it back into the block wall. That was a cool game 
that was more challenging than it first appeared as well.

Jim Kitchen wrote:
 Hi Charles,
 
 Yeah, I can't wait to play Pong with a Joystick.  However I don't believe 
 that is how I played it on my Atari machines.  I believe that I bought 
 special controllers.  They were little hand held controllers with a spinner 
 wheel and a button on the side  They were actually two of those controllers 
 per plug, so that four people could play Pong at the same time.  Spinning the 
 wheel up or down would move your paddle up or down.  But I think that moving 
 your Pong paddle left and right via joystick will make my Pong game lots of 
 fun.
 
 BTW A fellow pervert and I have come up with my next joystick shooter game.  
 Not sure if I will put it on my web site or just tell about it and then I can 
 Email it. grin

Hi David,
Good job. I've come close to that, but usually I grow board before I get 
to that point so I quit the game.

Re: [Audyssey] NVDA and Mudding

2008-08-08 Thread constantine (on laptop)
Telnet is, however, supported, and since its on almost every system, and 
since NVDA is portable, it works out really really well. Sure telnet might 
not be great but it gets the job done and its what people started with, 
right? It gets the job done, and when I plug my USB thumb drive into someone 
elses computer its always good to know that I can play a mud without getting 
fancy with jaws and monkey term/vip mud etc.

I wonder how other free screen readers do with these clients?

 Dear List,

 Does anyone know of any MUD clients (a la Monkey Term) that work
 with the free screen reader NVDA?

 It is quite easy for me to think of a God of love mainly because
 I grew up in a family where love was central and where lovely
 relationships were ever present.  It is quite easy for me to
 think of the universe as basically friendly mainly because of my
 uplifting hereditary and environmental circumstances.  It is
 quite easy for me to lean more toward optimism than pessimism
 about human nature mainly because of my childhood experiences.
 It is impossible to get at the roots of one's religious attitudes
 without taking in account the psychological and historical
 factors that play upon the individual.

 It is not true that the saints and the great contemplatives never
 loved created things, and had no understanding or appreciation of
 the world, with its sights and sounds and the people living in
 it.  They loved everything and everyone.
