Re: [Audyssey] Entombed
My concern is how easy it is to lose a limb. It's very realistic. Trust me. The problem is that if you get a decent hit on your head, you're pretty much incapable of doing anything about it. Since there's also only one kind of armor, you can't wear things to protect your limbs, either. Maybe it should be more traumatic to lose a limb, but losing a limb would be harder.

Losing limbs should probably be more traumatic than it is, and there needs to be a way to reattach them without a healer. I'll try to address that too.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchens Games under Vista
Hi Thomas, I discovered that I only had to take the first step in your suggestions to get Jim Kitchen's games to work on my Vista computer. First of all, I have User Account Control enabled. 1. arrow to the setup for the game you want to install, press the Windows context key, and arrow to run as administrator. This will launch the setup with admin rights that User Account Control requires for some setup/installers. I did this for WinKit that creates the menus then also for each game I installed into it. I installed to the default location c:\Program Files\Kitchensinc. So for me it was not too dificult.

If you have User Account Control enabled and want the added security of User Account Control then is is what you should do. 1. arrow to the setup for the game you want to install, press the Windows context key, and arrow to run as administrator. This will launch the setup with admin rights that User Account Control requires for some setup/installers. 2. Instead of installing to the default location like c:\Program Files\Kitchensinc. you need to install it to a local directory that you have full rights to. Usually it is something like c:\Users\User Name\Games\Kitchinsinc. For example, my user name on my computer is Thomas. So under Windows Vista I install all of Jim's games to c:\Users\Thomas\Games\Kitchensinc. What I generally do is copy the Kitchensinc folder from c:\program files to my local directory before installing any of the games. Now, if thissounds too difficult for you to do, too confusing, the only other suggestion is to turn User Account Control off completely. It is this new security feature of Windows vista that accounts for most of the problems with games under Vista. Especially, those written prier to Vista's release.

[Audyssey] Pinball classic?
Hi all, first I think I made a mistake and posted this to the wrong list at first so even though I can't do anything about that mistake I'm going to ask the same thing here. I just downloaded the demo version of pinball classic from draconis and for one thing, I've never played pinball but I've heard the sounds of others playing. I assumed that the object was to keep the ball from going to far either to the right or left? so when i played the pacman table that's what I tried to do and some how though I'm nto sure how I got like 3 million points? Can someone tell me some tips on how to play pinball? I looked at the manual and it said to use the shift keys for the flippers and that is what I did.

Re: [Audyssey] Dancing The Klango couldn't get more exciting! Orcanit...
That's interesting. The way Dan Zingaro released it, you need two files. There's the superdeakout demo file and then you need the sdfull.exe file. It may actually be a zip file. I can't remember. If you have both those files and install them correctly, you get the full game which has been released as freeware. I suspect somebody may have figured that some users of Klango may have found it hard to understand that you have to install the demo first and then use the sdfull file to overwrite the original demo program so the game works correctly. I've had to explain that to a number of people so it's an understandable if unfortunate circumstance. Why they don't just include freeware games which can run and install more simply and/or simply explain the unusual requirement to getting the full version of Superdeakout, I don't know.

Re: [Audyssey] Pinball classic?
Hi Lelia, Actually, pinball is all about trying to position the ball so you can hit various bumpers with scores marked on them. Every bumper you hit has a specific score that adds to your total score. I'm assuming here you have been blind from birth so have never actually seen a pinball table. So i'll try to describe it in detail below. A classic pinball table is a long retangle two maybe three feet long with a glass top on it which you can look into the machine. On the far right hand side is a long narrow chamber with a pully thingy on it where you launch the balls from. In the center of the table is various bumbers standing up with all kinds of scores on them. The harder a bumper is to hit with the ball the higher the score marked on it. Similarly the easiest ones to hit with the ball have low scores marked on them. At the bottom of the table where you are sitting are two buttons on the table top that move the flippers. There are two flippers that guard a hole into wich your ball can get bounced causing you to lose a ball. These flippers serve two purposes. Besides defending the hole where your ball can get bounced into you can use them to direct the ball towards the bumpers thus racking up your score. How you play the game is you start by launching the ball from the launcher on the right-hand side of the pinball table. At the beginning of every pinball game you are given atotal of three balls to start with. Though, only one ball at a tme can be in play at any given time. You use the flippers to guard the hole as well as bounce the ball into the bumpers on the table. Depending on the angle and how hard the flipper hits the ball you will hopefully send the ball towards one of the bumpers on the table. When you miss a ball and it falls into the hole at the end of the table you lose a ball. The object of the game is to get the highest score possible. Now, like classic pinball machines games like PBC allows you to play at various specially themed pinball tables. You can pick tables like Pacman, Haunted House, the Wild West, etc. lelia wrote: Hi all, first I think I made a mistake and posted this to the wrong list at first so even though I can't do anything about that mistake I'm going to ask the same thing here.

That's interesting. The way Dan Zingaro released it, you need two files. There's the superdeakout demo file and then you need the sdfull.exe file. It may actually be a zip file. I can't remember. If you have both those files and install them correctly, you get the full game which has been released as freeware. I suspect somebody may have figured that some users of Klango may have found it hard to understand that you have to install the demo first and then use the sdfull file to overwrite the original demo program so the game works correctly. I've had to explain that to a number of people so it's an understandable if unfortunate circumstance.

Re: [Audyssey] Pinball classic?
Right. Forgot about the bumpers. Sorry. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 2:07 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Pinball classic? Hi Lelia, Actually, pinball is all about trying to position the ball so you can hit various bumpers with scores marked on them. Every bumper you hit has a specific score that adds to your total score. I'm assuming here you have been blind from birth so have never actually seen a pinball table. So i'll try to describe it in detail below. A classic pinball table is a long retangle two maybe three feet long with a glass top on it which you can look into the machine. On the far right hand side is a long narrow chamber with a pully thingy on it where you launch the balls from. In the center of the table is various bumbers standing up with all kinds of scores on them. The harder a bumper is to hit with the ball the higher the score marked on it. Similarly the easiest ones to hit with the ball have low scores marked on them. At the bottom of the table where you are sitting are two buttons on the table top that move the flippers. There are two flippers that guard a hole into wich your ball can get bounced causing you to lose a ball. These flippers serve two purposes. Besides defending the hole where your ball can get bounced into you can use them to direct the ball towards the bumpers thus racking up your score. How you play the game is you start by launching the ball from the launcher on the right-hand side of the pinball table. At the beginning of every pinball game you are given atotal of three balls to start with. Though, only one ball at a tme can be in play at any given time. You use the flippers to guard the hole as well as bounce the ball into the bumpers on the table. Depending on the angle and how hard the flipper hits the ball you will hopefully send the ball towards one of the bumpers on the table. When you miss a ball and it falls into the hole at the end of the table you lose a ball. The object of the game is to get the highest score possible. Now, like classic pinball machines games like PBC allows you to play at various specially themed pinball tables. You can pick tables like Pacman, Haunted House, the Wild West, etc. lelia wrote: Hi all, first I think I made a mistake and posted this to the wrong list at first so even though I can't do anything about that mistake I'm going to ask the same thing here. I just downloaded the demo version of pinball classic from draconis and for one thing, I've never played pinball but I've heard the sounds of others playing. I assumed that the object was to keep the ball from going to far either to the right or left? so when i played the pacman table that's what I tried to do and some how though I'm nto sure how I got like 3 million points? Can someone tell me some tips on how to play pinball? I looked at the manual and it said to use the shift keys for the flippers and that is what I did.

Hi che. Klango itself is an environment for creating audio games and applications such as haunted factory and pirate memory game. recently though, the klango team have used the Klango environment to create a program called Klango player. this is a self-voicing, sapi-supported application using klango which has a huge variety of features, from forums, blogging, quick access to online shopping, to several audiogames which may be run directly from the program itself, a very nice media catalogue and player with both streaming, and download capabilities (my personal favourite bit of the application), to even a basic recording program. More features are added on a very regular basis. The most recent updates have been to the social side of things with text chatting and the creation of specific forums which may be read via the Klango player, but this is by no means the be all and end all of the application.

Losing limbs should probably be more traumatic than it is, and there needs to be a way to reattach them without a healer. I'll try to address that too. The next version will have a lot more to content with in battles. Jason On Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 12:47 PM, Dakotah Rickard dakotah.rick...@gmail.comwrote: I have noticed one balancing issue. If you make it past your first two fights, you are generally going to be ok, but the first couple of fights are always evil. Also, could you make a potion to reattach broken limbs? The healers are fine, but a fighter with no arms is kind of useless.

Re: [Audyssey] Entombed
Hi, Yes, I recognize the need for some kind of reattachment. Or maybe make losing them more difficult. Phantom limbs or regrowing limbs are possibilities. I'm thinking about making a pod cast regarding Entombed because I really haven't properly introduced the game or my goals when creating it. Maybe I can get something together this week.

Re: [Audyssey] SoundRTS maps.
Hi, definitely the JL1 to JL3 maps, as they were the first multiplayer maps created by the author himself, they are the simplest and smallest ones and everyone had to grow up on them when the game was first launched. Only later were those dozens of custom maps created.
