Re: [Audyssey] Creating Roll Playing Games From Scratch
Hi, Yeah, I suppose that might be possible. Although, I am not sure on the tecnical details of the game yet. I am getting quite a lot of requests to create a stand alone application rather than create a web based game. If I do so running the game on a Braille Plus would depend on its technical specifications. If I am not mistaken doesn't the Braille Plus run a varient of Linux as the operating system? If so If I made a console application for Linux it might run on a Braille Plus with very little modifications. I guess i need to know more about the Braille Plus to tell you one way or the other.

Re: [Audyssey] science fiction was Creating Roll Playing Games From Scratch
Hi Tom, We do have some diffrences here. When it comes to having an alien field to draw from, it would still be there in this story , only the aliens would have genetic matches with human beings because they are in essence human beings despite the external features and other changes. If that was not flexible enough, there is plenty of mutations out in the galaxy and even in that core empire (illegal aliens, grin). With a mutations list, you can randomly create your characters or you can pick them out from the list using a point cost deal. technically, the sky is the limit for what race you want to be , either pregenrated base lines, or create your own weird character. I played west end games star wars too, and I played a protocol droid who had a split personality. It was acutally an assassin droid, with protocol droid plating around it and so it would be able to get to hwerever it wanted to , do the hit, and leave as if nothing happened. So yes, I am sure robots, cybernetics, mind powers, androids, whatever it is can be generated up with a intuitive easy to use point system or random system. That should give plenty of flexibility. When it came to multi player, I am not sure what you mean. In my mind, I am thinking of a single gamer , making up a team of characters with diffrent skills and abilities. There would be no other gamer interaction, nor seperately controlled characters by other gamers. I mentioned those copyrighted materials because I didn't feel like trying to describe a light saber in just such a way that it was difrfrent just to make a point. I understand the copyrighted stuff from what you explained, and I was just trying to give examples of technology that could be gotten during a seeker trip.

Re: [Audyssey] entombed request
Hi Valiant, I have had the same problems with equipment. My starting character might start holding a weapon not allowed like a long sword. If you unwield it, you can't put it back on. Same with armor too. When rescueing the prisoner on level two, sometimes they are better armed and armored then your own character, lol. My biggest trouble with the bow is changing ammo. I am not sure which ammo is best for which situation but the only way I found that I could change ammo choices is to go to the inventory, drop the arrows I am using. Then go to the fight choice, which should ask which ammo you want to use for it. al - Original Message - From: Valiant8086 valiant8...@lavabit.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 11:45 PM Subject: [Audyssey] entombed request Can a notification be added so we know for sure when we wield or unwield a two-handed weapon?

Re: [Audyssey] Creating Roll Playing Games From Scratch
Hi, Thomas, I've always thought that the Adept books would make a great game world. I'd particularly like to see The Game from Proton coded into something cool, but I like the juxtaposition, as it were, of science and magic, and a character that would have different talents, skill choices and paths to pursue based on which world they were in. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 10:17 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Creating Roll Playing Games From Scratch Hi Dark, Regardless if I create the game as a stand alone game in C++ or create it as an online game I want to make it a single player game. I'm not really interested in creating a party or pvp type game at this point. As far as your idea of creating a universe with mixed technological skills that kind of reminds me of an author I sometimes read. I don't know if you have read any of Piers Anthony's books, but he often has an interesting way of mixing science fiction and fantacy into the same story. For example, in the Blue Adept Piers Anthony describes a world with two aspects. In one frame it is a high tech world with computers, androids, intersteller space travel, lasers, and anything else you would expect from a science fiction novel. In the other frame it is a fantacy type world complete with werewolves, unicorns, people use magic instead of technology, etc. Some people are able to pass between the two frames of existance. Thus the main character is able to be both active in a fantacy and science fiction story at the same time. Anyway, even big name science fiction stories like Star Wars do have a fantacy aspect to them as well. If you think about it Star Wars is something like a fantacy story set in a science fiction setting. Instead of magic you have the force. Instead of swords you have light sabers. Instead of knights waring armour you have storm troopers. A lot of the same principles apply. it is just that Star Wars is suppose to be futuristic instead of being set in ancient earth.

I would however love to see a scifi rp game giving you a hole galaxy to explore with different planets, quests separately on the various planets, flying a spaceship etc. Pluss, you have infinite expantion, especially if you made your universe similar to the Starwars or Dune universe with different amounts of technology found on different worlds, you could have standard dungeon crawling with swords on one world, and high tech robot developement elsewhere.

[Audyssey] creating roll playing games
Hi tom, Here is how to avoid copyright. 1. use characters from the old icelandic saggas. 2. Use characters from Irish mythology. 3. use characters from the finnish mythology called the kalyvala. those mythologies is where most of our fantasy comes from. at one time they were pagan religions but thanks to them we now have fantasy like narnia and the lord of the rings and stuff. But I bet if you could base games directlly off characters in those old mythlogies you could avoid copyright.

Re: [Audyssey] action/rpg was Re: Creating Roll Playing Games From Scratch
Hi Thomas, Well, that sort of games is called MMORPG in main stream. is it actually rpg or not is debatable question. For the game concept i have only general vision of the game play process, with different degree of deep. I am not very good in writing stories. It will be a first-person, because i think that this view enables more diving into the game atmosphere. The players can explore the world and interract with each other. I think you can imagine a lot of features which is possible in such sort of game, so i don't want to write huge list of features. I just want to describe interesting solution i considered about combat. When you are in fight with one victim, it will be easy to do your best. But i want to enable big parties of players and monsters (say 5 characters in a group). Consider there are different classes of characters. The mage needs to cast his fireballs on the most appropriate victim, cleric must heal his most damaged friends, fighters must stay in contact with alien fighters etc. It can be very difficult to figure out what are going around you and how to react appropriately. For eliminate this we can implement a time slowness area around the combat. For example, if you start fighting with single victim, there is no time difference. But if there are three opponents, the game will create time sloweness zone around them. and when another players come up enough to enter the fight, the time will be also slowed for them. Let's now dive into the technical part. I selected c++ as a development language both for client and server. I plan to use lua or python for writing quests. For client, i have resourcing, modern 3d sound system with lot of features (based on FMODEX), my own input action mapping (SDL), tts module (for now only sapi5 on windows), prototype of UI (menus, dialogs, edit fields) and networking (boost::asio). I am using GNU gettext for localization. all of this (besides sapi) is crossplatform. Server: there is basic networking and collision detection of 3d primitives. A lot of work must be done here. I think that prior to developing game story i need to have working world (walking and chatting). However, i incline to historical world or mythology (perhaps russian?) --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi. yes it uses debian linux arm, at least that's what I've heard tell of. It does give access to the console but I don't know anything about dependencies or anything like that. I'm able to connect to alter aeon and mud on it using the telnet client but that's about all I know how to do. It definitly doesn't have things like pygame built into it. Heh, too bad.

If you have commands I can type to find out what dependencies it has so you'd know, and if it made any difference to you in the long run, I'd be glad to do so. It uses hmm, I can't remember.

Re: [Audyssey] action/rpg was Re: Creating Roll Playing Games From Scratch
Hi, Lex: Well, that sort of game is called MMORPG in main stream. is it actually rpg or not is debatable question. Tom: Actually, I made a mistake earlier. I thought you had said SoundRTS instead of SoundMUD. SoundMUD is called a MMORPG, and once I remembered SoundMUD was loosely based on Diablo I understood what you were talking about. Lex: It will be a first-person, because i think that this view enables more diving into the game atmosphere. The players can explore the world and interract with each other. I think you can imagine a lot of features that would be available in such a game. Tom: Yes, I can easily imagine why you would want to go for an FPS style format. The main one being more realistic. Instead of throwing attack rolls you would actually have to engage in combat in real time. That means you would have to press one key to attack and another to use your weapon to block etc. There is a lot of interesting possabilities right there. Lex: I selected c++ as the development language both for client and server. I plan to use lua or python for writing quests. Tom: I don't have an issue with C++, but I hate Python with a passsion. I like strongly typed languages with plenty of braces, brackets, etc like C++. Python is a massive turn off for me because it doesn't conform to a C standard. Anyway, I know this is your game, and you can use what you want. I just wanted to say if I did decide to work with you this would be a technical point we would likely disagree on. Lex: For client, i have resourcing, modern 3d sound system with lot of features (based on FMODEX), my own input action mapping (SDL), tts module (for now only sapi5 on windows. Tom: Are you planning on selling this game? If you are don't forget FMODEX has to be properly licensed for commercial projects. Of course, if you are planning on a free game then you can use it for free. That's one of the reasons I haven't included FMODEX in any of my games yet. The cost is simply too high to put into a commercial game engine. One API I am seriously looking at for the next generation cross platform version of Genesis 3D is OpenAL. So far it looks like a fairly decent audio API. Although, the Linux port hasn't been updated in quite some time. Lex: However, i incline to historical world or mythology (perhaps russian?) Tom: Makes sense seeing as you are from that part of the world. Since I am not exactly well versed in Russian history and mythology I can't be of any help there.

Re: [Audyssey] Creating Roll Playing Games From Scratch
Hi Aaron, Well, assuming I created a simple text interface, similar to the Infocom games, there wouldn't be any software dependancies to speak of. However, seeing as the Braille Plus is a type of note taker device any game written for it would have to be pretty bare bones. I don't know at this point exactly how bare bones I plan to get with this game. I might decide to go to a more action based roll playing game since I am getting a lot of requests for something more like an FPS rather than a game book style game.

World of Warcraft is considered an MMORPG is it not? I get a lot of my mainstream friends telling me I ought to try it. Gabba gabba hey! - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, July 18, 2009 2:49 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] action/rpg was Re: Creating Roll Playing Games From Scratch Hi, Lex: Well, that sort of game is called MMORPG in main stream. is it actually rpg or not is debatable question. Tom: Actually, I made a mistake earlier. I thought you had said SoundRTS instead of SoundMUD. SoundMUD is called a MMORPG, and once I remembered SoundMUD was loosely based on Diablo I understood what you were talking about. Lex: It will be a first-person, because i think that this view enables more diving into the game atmosphere. The players can explore the world and interract with each other. I think you can imagine a lot of features that would be available in such a game. Tom: Yes, I can easily imagine why you would want to go for an FPS style format. The main one being more realistic. Instead of throwing attack rolls you would actually have to engage in combat in real time. That means you would have to press one key to attack and another to use your weapon to block etc. There is a lot of interesting possabilities right there. Lex: I selected c++ as the development language both for client and server. I plan to use lua or python for writing quests. Tom: I don't have an issue with C++, but I hate Python with a passsion. I like strongly typed languages with plenty of braces, brackets, etc like C++. Python is a massive turn off for me because it doesn't conform to a C standard. Anyway, I know this is your game, and you can use what you want. I just wanted to say if I did decide to work with you this would be a technical point we would likely disagree on. Lex: For client, i have resourcing, modern 3d sound system with lot of features (based on FMODEX), my own input action mapping (SDL), tts module (for now only sapi5 on windows. Tom: Are you planning on selling this game? If you are don't forget FMODEX has to be properly licensed for commercial projects. Of course, if you are planning on a free game then you can use it for free. That's one of the reasons I haven't included FMODEX in any of my games yet. The cost is simply too high to put into a commercial game engine. One API I am seriously looking at for the next generation cross platform version of Genesis 3D is OpenAL. So far it looks like a fairly decent audio API. Although, the Linux port hasn't been updated in quite some time. Lex: However, i incline to historical world or mythology (perhaps russian?) Tom: Makes sense seeing as you are from that part of the world. Since I am not exactly well versed in Russian history and mythology I can't be of any help there.

Re: [Audyssey] Materia magica
I might rejoin, and stay this time. I have no idea what caused me to leave the last time, probably lack of groups or some such and I wanted help with leveling and such.

Re: [Audyssey] entombed problems
Hi, Feel free to email me privately. Do you mean the install appears to hang or the game itself? It's possible the installer is trying to download the components it needs to run the game. It uses Microsoft .NET 3.5 and few other frameworks, but .NET is the largest of the lot. Thanks!
