Re: [Audyssey] manuals - Re: I give!!!!
Hi Thomas, I have and had the same problem with programming manuals such as for DirectX. I just don't understand them at all. Allen Maynard shared some DirectX code with me, if it weren't for that I probably still would not know how to use DirectX. You know I have really never been able to learn from manuals. Well except for the manual that came with my first computer, the Texas Instruments 99 4A. But even that was just that I typed in some example source code and experimented with it. So really example source code from here and there and experimenting with it is how I have learned to program games. BFN Jim I didn't get the documentation for the manuals! j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

It looks like the move was successful. Since around 5 pm this afternoon Eastern daylight savings time, the list has been operating from the new web host. I'd like to take the time now to thank 3 very special list members who have contributed to the list. It's because of these 3 members that the list hosting and audyssey.org domain registration has been paid for to last an additional year. I will not mention their names because I know of at least one who wanted to remain anonymous. However if anyone wants to speak up, feel free as I know who you are *smile*.

Hi Brandon, Mach 1 tts is a new version of Mach 1 that I am writing to work specifically with my Logitech MOMO Racing steering wheel joystick. It should also work ok with other joysticks slash game controllers, but I don't know about keyboard support. You know because the steering wheel, gas peddle and brake peddle have variable input and a key on a keyboard does not. A few other differences as well, but it is still not going to have all of the features that Top Speed does.

[Audyssey] Final Conflict Strategies
I just downloaded and have begun playing with Star Trek: Final Conflict. I don't know why, but I'm not always very good at these particular strategy games. I have a specific strategy in mind, but can't for the life of me figure how to pul it off. Here's what it is: My ships will fly in a rough v-formation. Two sovereign-class ships will the the points, two will fly close together in the middle, and the Defiant will be cloaked in the back for surprise maneuvers. This seems to be a good idea because it would let me box in opponents, keep my ships together and have decent maneuverability. But ... how would I do something like this?

Re: [Audyssey] Final Conflict Strategies
Hi Kelby, Good question. That particular formation would be fairly tricky to set up, but can be done with a lot of practice. What I would do is send all of my ships to a staging area, a place to assemble the fleet, start two ships out, wait a move, send the second two ships out, wait a move, and then trail the fleet with the Defiant. Now, if you want to create a v type for mation you'll have to give the ships different headings for a couple of moves until they spreed out. For example if you want a wide v formating and you were heading towards Cardassian Space set one side of the formation to a heading of 325 and the other to 45. After a move or so you would get a v style formation, and then you can set all ships to 0 so that they then head straight up the starmap.

Re: [Audyssey] Final Conflict Strategies
Thanks a bunch, Tom. I had part of that worked out, but it was setting the ship's on the right course that tripped me up. I have a couple more questions. 1. Is there a way to tell the exact coordinates of a ship? This would help me immensely to try and get everything into formation. 2. Will the v-formation I'm describing work well for shooting down the enemy?

Re: [Audyssey] Final Conflict Strategies
Hi Kelby, Kelby Said: 1. Is there a way to tell the exact coordinates of a ship? This would help me immensely to try and get everything into formation. Tom Says: There is no way to get the exact coordinates of the ship. However, you can use the short range sensors to figure out what ship is where in your formation. This is how I find out if my ships are in a formation and how close or far away each ship is from the rear or leading attack elements. Kelby Said: 2. Will the v-formation I'm describing work well for shooting down the enemy? Tom Says: Hard to say. There are a lot of random elements in STFC such as enemy formation, what style of attack the enemy will choose, whatever. In one game that formation you described will work well. In antoerh game that same strategy or technique will fail miserably. You will never know what trick or tricks the enemy has up their sleaves. Here is a case in point. One time I gathered all my ships at Earth Station McKinley. Then, I launched them into Klingon space. The Klingons ameet me head on and and blasted all five Klingon ships into dust and lost no ships in the encounter. I thought I was doing pretty good, patted myself on the back for a job well done, and thought i could head back tot he station for resupplies. No such luck. The Romulans sprang an attack from my rear and blew away two ships before I knew they were there. I was low on firepower so I was basically throwing what i could at them to try and escape. No Such luck. They were fresh, my ships were not, and I lost everything except the Defiant in that Romulan attack. It then became a very difficult challenge using the Defiant to perform hit and run attacks to even the score. I took several enemies with me before i was finally over run. The moral of the story is I started out with a grand strategy. It was working well until the Romulans pulled a fast one on me. I hadn't expected an all out attack on my rear flank. I figured based on passed experience, and having written the enemy AI, that the Romulans would try and take out the stations while they were undeffended. I wasn't expecting the AI to come up with such a briliant counter strategy. It does that some times and it amazes even me.Rule of thumb watch out for the unexpected to happen from time to time.

[Audyssey] Changes in MOTA Beta 4
Hello everyone, I plan to release Mysteries of the Ancients beta 4 in the next day or two. However, before I do I want to make sure the list of changes, bug fixes, etc covers most of the suggestions and bug reports reported over the last couple of months. I've got a couple of miner updates still in the works but this pretty much covers the changes that will you will see in the next release. Any suggestions, comments, let me know before I make the release. What's New Converted constants to enumerated constants. Increased enemy stamina. Added extra pistol ammo. Updated game intro. Resolved issues with jumping using a joystick or game pad. You can now use the escape button on any joystick or game pad to quit the game. You can once again use the escape key on the keyboard to exit the game. When using a joystick or game pad button 1 can now be used to pick up items or open doors when weapons are holstered. Draw weapon to fire. The spacebar now picks up items and opens doors when weapons are holstered, and fires the current weapon when weapons are drawn. Fixed the problem with jump up not always grabbing the rope. It is no longer possible to draw a weapon while hanging from a rope. Fixed bug when player strength gets stuck at 83%. Fixed bug where Angela's comments get interrupted by status messages. Menu music is now lowered when in the sound descriptions menu. Updated load game menu. Updated save game menu. You can now load and save games while in standard game mode. Placed gold and silver keys in the underground lake. Added number pad support.

[Audyssey] Sarah game infringes J.K. Rowling ’s copyright
Just in: After four months of deliberating, Judge Robert Patterson has ruled that the Sarah and the castle of witchcraft and wizardry game infringes J.K. Rowling’s copyright in the Harry Potter series. According to the AP, Judge Patterson granted an injunction, ruling that Rowling had proven that PCS Game’s “Sarah and the castle of witchcraft and wizardry” would cause her irreparable harm as a writer. The suit, filed late last year against PCS Games, an independent game developing company in Michigan, alleged that plans by Michigan-based game developer PCS Games to sell a game, Sarah and the castle of witchcraft and wizardry, who's Web site that serves as a rather daunting compendium of all games for the blind, violated Warner and Rowling’s copyright and takes away the future market for a similar game that Rowling and Electronic Arts plans to develop. Here’s the opinion. Judge Patterson ruled in Rowling’s favor because the “Sarah game appropriates too much of Rowling’s creative work for its purposes.” He also wrote that, “While the Sarah game, in its current state, is not a fair use of the Harry Potter works, games that share the Sarah game’s purpose of aiding blind game players of being able to play a Harry Potter game generally should be encouraged rather than stifled.” Ethan Horwitz, an IP lawyer at King Spalding, told the Law Blog: “What Judge Patterson is saying is that when you look at fair use, one of the dominant issues is, are you providing commentary or taking the value of the work and selling it as your own? He decided that the value of the work was being taken, that [Rowling] had the ability to develop the kind of game that PCS Games was putting out, and that she’d indicated an intent to do so.” April Fool! smiles, Phil --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Lone Wolf update
Well I've made it to mission 4 and sent the last few days getting pounded to bits by one or more of the destroyer escorts. I downloaded Raul's walkthroughs but I've bee trying to resort to those as little as possible. The key seems to be finding a way to get near the destroyers without immediatelybeing detected. As it is by the time I detect one, open the torpedo doors and begin tracking I've missed my chance to fire on them. I don't dare trying the deck gun given how long it takes to target anything. So at the moment my seafaring is at...well maybe not a standstill but certainly a crawl. You have acquired the skill of Weaponry Therimin.

Rowling's copyright Just in: After four months of deliberating, Judge Robert Patterson has ruled that the Sarah and the castle of witchcraft and wizardry game infringes J.K. Rowling's copyright in the Harry Potter series. According to the AP, Judge Patterson granted an injunction, ruling that Rowling had proven that PCS Game's Sarah and the castle of witchcraft and wizardry would cause her irreparable harm as a writer. The suit, filed late last year against PCS Games, an independent game developing company in Michigan, alleged that plans by Michigan-based game developer PCS Games to sell a game, Sarah and the castle of witchcraft and wizardry, who's Web site that serves as a rather daunting compendium of all games for the blind, violated Warner and Rowling's copyright and takes away the future market for a similar game that Rowling and Electronic Arts plans to develop. Here's the opinion. Judge Patterson ruled in Rowling's favor because the Sarah game appropriates too much of Rowling's creative work for its purposes. He also wrote that, While the Sarah game, in its current state, is not a fair use of the Harry Potter works, games that share the Sarah game's purpose of aiding blind game players of being able to play a Harry Potter game generally should be encouraged rather than stifled. Ethan Horwitz, an IP lawyer at King Spalding, told the Law Blog: What Judge Patterson is saying is that when you look at fair use, one of the dominant issues is, are you providing commentary or taking the value of the work and selling it as your own? He decided that the value of the work was being taken, that [Rowling] had the ability to develop the kind of game that PCS Games was putting out, and that she'd indicated an intent to do so.

Hi Phil, Hahahaha. I wasn't fooled in the least by your April Fool's Day joke. However, it was a rather cool read.

Re: [Audyssey] Changes in MOTA Beta 4
Hi Michael, At this point in time I really don't know when I'll be able to support 64 byt versions of XP, Vista, and Windows 7. As I mentioned before I am currently using Visual Studio Express which doesn't allow the developer to recompile for other target platforms. To solve this I'll likely have to purchase Visual Studio Pro, or compile using the 60 day trial release. So I plan to try and make a 64 byt compatible version after the game source is stable, runs well, and can be ported to Windows 64 using the trial release of Visual Studio Pro.
