[Audyssey] Happy New Year From Humanity MOO!

2008-12-31 Thread Michael Forzano
Hi List,

Happy New Year guys.Humanity MOO is now open for public beta! We've added
several new features, and fixed many bugs, and overall made it a much better
game. For those who don't know, Humanity MOO is a futuristic MOO, or Mud,
which involves space exploration, combat, roleplaying, and much more. The
Mud address is humanitymoo.game-host.org, 4000, and the rather out of date
site is at treknet.no-ip.info/humanitymoo.

 

Enjoy!

 

Mike

Re: [Audyssey] Scifi exploration online game?

2008-12-31 Thread dark

hi Jason.

If you get to the point of making the game and would like some assistance in 
the writing department, please let me know, - that's sort of my area.


i'd absolutely love to see something like this though, and with the work 
you've done on entombed, you might be the person who finally pulls it off I 
think.


Beware the Grue!

Hi Dark,

This is something I've been interested in making. One thing I love is
procedural generation. You can create an entire universe using only that.
The trick of course is the game play and making it interesting. Right now 
it
has to stay an interest only while I work on Entombed. I'm fascinated by 
the

possibility though.

I must admit i'm getting a litle hacked off here. for me, one of the 
major
attractions of startrek, starwars, doctor who, babylon 5 etc is 
exploration

of the various worlds, different land scapes and alien races.

of course as these are works of fiction I'm also interested in the
characters, the politics etc, but from a purely scifi point of view
(particularly in something like Starwars or Doctor who which has a very!
diverse landscape), there's quite a lot of stuff to explore.

I find it completely astonishing that every single scifi game has only
focused on the statistical elements of player interaction and/or combat,
 and to be brutally honest, find it rather silly. Afterall, if people
want to play the stock markit, they can just pick up the financial times.

while I can see the attraction of pvp combat (though as I've said before
it's not something which interests me at all), I'm amazed that nobody has
developed an online scifi game which does not have this focus.

Admitedly I'm probably expecting a lot, afterall, the only things I've
found in the pure fantasy genre along these lines are Sryth and various
gamebooks,  and to a lesser extent any of the Logd or KoL varients.

smugglers 4 I really like for the non linnier game structure, missions 
and

backstory, though I'm slightly disappointed that the actual planets
themselves don't play a larger part in the game in terms of being unique
locations, and also that there weren't any new systems to go to in S4 as
compared to S3.

eitherway though, S4 isn't an online game.

Basically, what I'm looking for is Sryth in space, ie, you have your
spaceship, fly around and have adventures, - basically sryth, in 
space!


If anyone knows a game like that I'd be interested to here about it, 
possibly a mud?  though i admit I have heard many muds are pvp stat
grinders.

Any input here would be appreciated.

Re: [Audyssey] Scifi exploration online game?

2008-12-31 Thread Thomas Ward

Hi Dark,
Actually, by summer i should have something that is right up your alley. 
As you might recall a couple of weeks ago I was talking about a text 
based RPG game engine  for Mac, Linux, and Windows. Over teh holidays i 
have taken some time to write up some initial code for it, and one of 
the game ideas I have been sampling with is a Star Wars roll playing 
fantacy game during the clone wars. You can basically pick from a list 
of popular races and classes and train to be a Jedi at the jedi temple. 
As you get better you can then travel to various worlds and get involved 
in various missions.

Re: [Audyssey] Scifi exploration online game?

2008-12-31 Thread Zachary Kline

Hi,
   Agreed.  A friend of mine walked me through a brief session of Spore a 
while back.  The really neat thing was that aforementioned procedural 
generation along with the uploading of user content.  The two combined to 
create what were, I gather, very visually distinctive and unique worlds. 
The sense of possibilities and exploration there was tremendous.
   It's this sense of infinite possibilities which I like about Fallthru, 
even though that isn't in the scifi mode and isn't multiplayer.

Best,
Zack.

I have a friend that has just got spore.
You are able to create life from components, and have a semi age of

work through the ages till you get to the space age, and then colonise 
other worlds, etc.

Re: [Audyssey] Scifi exploration online game?

2008-12-31 Thread shaun everiss
I'd like this to, all the games I have had are empires, etc.
Nothing has exploration, battle, adventure, etc.
st voyager I am sure was based of lost in space at least thats what I'd imagin 
it being based off.
But yeah I'd like something like this.
either as a mud or even better as a full featured game with sfx, etc.
I'd pay good money for this, and I'd jump at the chance to test or help if any 
game was made like this.

[Audyssey] Scifi exploration online game?

2008-12-31 Thread dark
Hi. 

a combination of reading starwars novels, playing Eamon and Sryth, and watching 
my brother play Final fantasy crysis core on the psp is really getting me in 
the mood for something scifi, but every online game I've looked at in a scifi 
setting seems to be either a, galactic empire building pvp stratogy, or B, 
galactic ship sales pvp trading! 

I must admit i'm getting a litle hacked off here. for me, one of the major 
attractions of startrek, starwars, doctor who, babylon 5 etc is exploration of 
the various worlds, different land scapes and alien races. 

of course as these are works of fiction I'm also interested in the characters, 
the politics etc, but from a purely scifi point of view (particularly in 
something like Starwars or Doctor who which has a very! diverse landscape), 
there's quite a lot of stuff to explore. 

I find it completely astonishing that every single scifi game has only focused 
on the statistical elements of player interaction and/or combat,  and to be

while I can see the attraction of pvp combat (though as I've said before it's

an online scifi game which does not have this focus. 

Admitedly I'm probably expecting a lot, afterall, the only things I've found in 
the pure fantasy genre along these lines are Sryth and various gamebooks,  
and to a lesser extent any of the Logd or KoL varients. 

smugglers 4 I really like for the non linnier game structure, missions and 
backstory, though I'm slightly disappointed that the actual planets themselves 
don't play a larger part in the game in terms of being unique locations, and 
also that there weren't any new systems to go to in S4 as compared to S3. 

eitherway though, S4 isn't an online game. 

Basically, what I'm looking for is Sryth in space, ie, you have your spaceship, 
fly around and have adventures, - basically sryth, in space!

If anyone knows a game like that I'd be interested to here about it,  
possibly a mud?  though i admit I have heard many muds are pvp stat 
grinders. 

Any input here would be appreciated.

Re: [Audyssey] smugglers4 strange message

2008-12-31 Thread dark

This is a bug.

It will happen either when the enemy has used focused shield and you shoot 
them, or when your reinforcements and the enemy reinforcements both fire at 
the same time.


the developer knows about it. Don't worry, just press enter or escape to 
exit the error window and continue blasting your enemies.


Hth.

Hi,

I am playing version 1.1B of Smugglers4.
At random times during battles I hear the Windows chord sound and the 
following message pops up:

"Cannot make visible window modal".

If I click OK, the game usually continues but it also may freeze.  I can 
still hear the background music but left clicking on anything will not 
activate that item.


I'm not totally sure but this might happen intermittently after I engage 
my focused shields.


Has anyone else seen this error?
I am using Windows XP-Home on a Dell XPS-1210 laptop, and Window-Eyes 
version 6.0.


Thanks

Hi char, and welcome to the list.

for the vine level of hunter, first, listen for hunter Jo's footsteps, that 
will tell you what side of the river your on and which side to grab the vine

on. Then, listen for the ratling vine sound swinging back and forth, if the 
footsteps were on the left, you'll need to jump onto the vine with the up 
arrow when it's on the left, - then swing across the river and jump down

with the down arrow when it's on the right, - obviously the other way 
around if the footsteps were on the left.

One important thing to remember is that to make a successful jump, the vine 
has to be on the very extreme far left or right of your sterrio field, 
otherwise you'll drop in the drink.

Hth, and have fun on the list.

Re: [Audyssey] x box 360

2008-12-31 Thread Clement Chou
Will, the limitation on games isn't in terms of genre... wii, gamecube, 
xbox, ps2, ps3... they're mostly limitted to fighting games and some sports 
anyway. At least that's how I see it. The consideration lies in how many 
games you want to play, and what you want out of the console.

Hi Dark,
No, we have bigger problems under Vista. At least from my experience the 
program won't even execute. Vista takes serious issue witht the fact Eamon 
is a 16 byt application and is not  a 32 byt application. I honestly 
haven't looked into the matter too much, but in my initial testing Vista 
basically pitchd a fit when i tried to run it. I hope someone can find a 
simple solution, but I think probably not.

I've been in contact with the eamon dev about fixing the fullscreen and 
40 character issues, sinse it's a pest for Hal.


if it's only fullscreen applications that cause trouble on vista maybe 
this would help with that as well?
