[Audyssey] Whip in MOTA
Hi, How close do you have to be to an enemy for the bullwhip to work, and how bad is it supposed to hurt the enemy? I suppose it would just be a bit further away and a bit more painful than your fists, but it doesn't seem to be doing very much.

Re: [Audyssey] startrek games
While fan created missions wqould be nice, i'd be happy with you writing expantion packs of say 10 missions each for the game and selling them as extras myself provided that this would be possible with your various other projects. As we've said before, expantion packs are a great way for a developer to get the most out of one game, and for players to have a larger, more complex experience playing.. Beware the grue!

It all depends on how I designed the game. First, in order to create a mission parcer like what Lone Wolf has I would have to abandon prerecorded speech altogether and use Sapi support or Jaws/Window-Eyes APIs to speak the game content. As my opinions about using Sapi is well known, it being more trouble than it is worth, I wouldn't necessarily want to go that route. Second, if we go with this new style of game I'd just assume to go ahead and use the Genesis Engine for creating the game. While that makes it easier for me as a developer I'm not going to hand over the level editor to the engine as that is not public software. That is for my use only, and what I use to create new content for my future games. In short whatI'd have to do to make that reality is create a completely new engine using Sapi or screen reader output, and then add some way to script it using Angelscript, Javascript, or something else for adding new levels. I honestly don't want to go that far with it.

Re: [Audyssey] startrek games
I have the last beta which was released under the n ame montizumas revenge, and contains the first six levels if you register the game. however I'm not sure it would be either fair to tom or reasonable to distribute the file, - much less give out my registration information so that people could play the full six levels. I personally am sorry Tom can't essentially just change a couple of sounds in game, eg, the name speech, and release the thing as freeware for people to play, but if he's no longer got the source code etc, pluss if he'd rather not release something with known bugs, fair enough.

I think you are right that a Lone Wolf style Star Trek game would be infinitely more cool than a strategy game like STFC. For one thing in light of recent discussions of expantion packs etc this is the perfect style of game to do it in. The game could ship with 10 to 15 missions initially and I could add missions to it here and there giving it nearly unlimited replay value in the process. Like Lone Wolf over time it could end up having a hundred or more missions to choose from. Another way to add replay value to the game is to allow you to select a specific ship and class from the game setup menu. That way you could technically play the same mission multiple times trying out various different classes of ships in the Federation fleet. One time you might select a Defiant-Class ship, another time a Galaxy-Class, another time a Nebula-Class, etc. The replay value of this feature alone is huge. So your idea has maret. So my question to the rest of the list is what do you say. Should we abandon the fleet strategy game and go with a Lone Wolf style simulation where you take on individual missions and campaigns, or should we proceed with the real time strategy game in production now?

Re: [Audyssey] startrek games
There would be another possibility for voice acting, though again this is just an idea, and it certainly isn't necessary to the game. Why not see if people like Darker Projects or STTCM will help you. STTCM and Darker Projects both have ships set up in un the universe and you may be able to get them to help. They have good people for the most part. Whether or not voice acting and cut scenes are included or not, a campaign type setting could still be possible. Even if a campaign isn't included, I'm sure it'd be a fun game to play. You certainly know how to make them well, and I look forward to whatever comes out of your particular workshop.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Trekk Games, both Final Conflict and Trekk 2000...
Particularly, I would rather see a turn based game that limits what you can do per turn.

I love realtime stuff, but if I had an honest preference, it'd be a turn based game that had some limits per turn. I'd also like to see more features that make use of impulse.

I'm sure there are definitions when you are trying to get into an assistance program, but they are perfectly happy to use self reporting for the census information. I think anyone who requires some accommodation to complete normal tasks have some degree of disability. This means people with injuries have a temporary disability until they can resume normal activities. It is my contention that most games can have some accommodations built into them to allow more people to access them. Not all games can be made blind accessible. For example, one of our games - Word Jungle - is a hidden word puzzle. It consists of a large grid that contains words in three directions and randomized letters between. The object is to find all the hidden words. That is not rated blind accessible since it would change the game too much to do so. But - with reasonable adaptations, adequate sound augmentation to the graphics, variable speed settings, controls that can be read by screen readers etc, many games could be made blind accessible if there was an interest to do so. Vision deteriorates as people get older. Macular degeneration is a disease of old age. Many people will no longer be able to play non-accessible games as they used to. This might help developers realize there is a market - which incidentally can also mean accessibility for younger VI and blind gamers. The main thing is to build the ability to change as many parameters as possible into games and other software to let people adjust it so they can use it. There are some that say that dumbs down a game. I don't see that at all. If someone can successfully play the game at half speed, what is the problem with having a setting that allows that? Anyhow - off my soapbox! Thanks Dark and Thomas for some interesting observations.

Re: [Audyssey] Bop It with shout mode.
Hi Jim, I like the idea of unlocking levels, so when you reach 100 points, you can decide to go to the next level or not. This gives people who are not skilled enough to get to 300 or 100 on the three levels a chance to hear the winning sounds and feel better about reaching the goal.

[Audyssey] powerbasic classic again at $49 for a limited time.
Well, folks, if you've been looking for a way to port all your quickbasic, or older dos basic code to windows, here's a solution. Powerbasic is a rock solid compiler, and one I've been using for years. And, now you can buy a copy for just 49 bucks. It's usually priced at $169, but it looks like because of vista and windows 7, they're concentrating on their gui version a bit more, which is good news for us. You can purchase it here. http://www.powerbasic.com/products/clcc/ I own several powerbasic products, and they're all top notch. Perhaps this will give some of you the means to begin writing your own games for windows now.

Hi Dakotah, To tell the truth I sort of miss the turn-based style of play myself. As it stands now the game doesn't offer you much control over the ships once you asign them their patrol route, and it lacks the hands on strategy value the previous game had. So I'd really be interested in hearing your thoughts on this. Basicly, I'd like to know if people are more in favor of the classic turn-based style of game play or would really want real time strategy. There are advantages/disadvantages of both styles of game play. I could really go either way at this point since I'm in the process of converting the game from .Net to C++ anyway.

I'm not sure who put it together, but he or she made some mistakes in selecting certain sounds that aren't the correct sounds from the shows and movies. I don't like to sound like a profectionist, but as a long time Trek fan I like things to be done right. That is done according to cannon and not mixing up the alert for a warp core breech for the general red alert clacson. It is this sort of mistake that is the problem with soundpacks.

Re: [Audyssey] startrek games
Hi Dark, Yes, very true. Expantion packs are definitely the way to go when it comes to developers continuing an existing product as well as giving them something to release between new products that may take months or years to create. there is also the personal aspect here to consider. This may seam a bit selfish to some, maybe, but I know a lot of developers don't really like end users drastically altering their games. Many have put in place encrypted sound files, don't include level editors, and other such methods of fully customizing the game or expanding it. This is probibly largely do to the fact that by allowing these changes anyone can replace the sounds, levels, enemies, and other such elements with their own creating something else never intended by the developer. Well, in my own way I am not all that different. I've been a huge Star Trek fan for my entire life, and have watched, read, and listened to just about everything Star Trek imaginable. As a result I have a vast amount of first-hand knowledge of the Star Trek universe. Coming from that background and perspective I want my own Star Trek game to stick to the Star Trek cannon as closely as possible. I would be extremely disappointed to download some user created missions that deviates from the Star Trek cannon, or download custom sounds for the game that wouldn't be true to the Star Trek series. For example, I can imagine someone replacing the sound of the Enterprise's phasers with the sound of the Defiant's phasers. Someone might really think that was totally cool. For me, though, I would find it a major turn off. I wouldn't like that at all. An issue like that would simply be a matter of personal preference, and since it is my game I would encurrage people not to alter my game in that way. However, if I leave it open to customization drastic changes in plot, sounds, whatever are bound to occur that I might not agree with or even like and therefore wouldn't necessarily want just anyone to change the game. However, I also see their side of the debate as well. A lot of gamers don't have an ounce of programming skills, and wouldn't even know where to begin in creating there own games. One way they can do this quickly and easily is by customizing an existing game. Although, it might not be a totally new game the soundpacks, new speech files, whatever can drasticly change the game and make it seam rather new. For example, a game like STFC might have all of the sounds, music, and speech files replaced with those for a Star Wars fleet simulator. A cool idea to be sure, but might not be how the original author imagined his/her game being used by the public at large. I myself would have mixed feelings about such an alteration to my game. Bottom line, as I see it level editors, mission parcers, etc are great ways to expand the game, but I've seen plenty of times where that ability can take the game in a completely different direction from the one intended. Either that or end users do something rediculous that the author of the game might not approve of. Case in point. Many of us have been big fans of Lone Wolf for several years, and I have personally been a fan of the mission parcer. However, there have been several missions, which I shall leave nameless, i thought were just down right stupid or rediculous. As a result I deleted them from my Lone Wolf folder and never intend to put them back on my system again. Others I really loved and play constantly. As a gamer I see the Lone Wolf mission parcer as a good thing and a bad thing. It is great when a really good mission designer comes along and creates good missions to play, and equally bad when someone puts together something that is basicly crap. By restricting the public from adding their own custom missions whatever to a game is a two edged sword. You certainly filter out all the crappy missions that might be created as well as some truly awesome missions. It is a hard decision to make. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Trekk Games, both Final Conflict and Trekk 2000...
Hi, Really? You destroyed a Borg Cube in a single turn? I don't remember being able to do that. At least not on the higher difficulty levels. Although, I do remember quite a lot of complaining back when STFC was in beta testing that the Borg were too hard to beat so I changed their stats. Apparently I made them two low now. Anyway, as for your view of creating a turn-based game with limits per turn that does make some sense. The Sovereign-Class ships can only fire 30 torpedoes at a time which constitutes a full spread. If I made the game more to Star Trek technical specs that should be all they can fire per turn which would make the game more drawn out, and you would have multiple turns to carry out a battle rather than whiping out one or more enemy ships in a single move. That would both be more difficult and realistic as far as a turn-based game goes. On 6/11/10, Dakotah Rickard dakotah.rick...@gmail.com wrote: Particularly, I would rather see a turn based game that limits what you can do per turn. You sort of set that up, limiting the number of phaser and torpedo shots per turn, but the limits were, likely, still too large. Especially if a borg cube can be destroyed in one go. I love realtime stuff, but if I had an honest preference, it'd be a turn based game that had some limits per turn. I'd also like to see more features that make use of impulse. The option is available in navigation, but it doesn't seem to have any real value.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Trekk Games, both Final Conflict and Trekk 2000...
Hi, Oh, assuming I ever did that, creating a Star Wars fleet command game, it would have to be freeware. I definitely would not try and sell it. That would surely bring Lucas's lawyers down on me, and I could get sued for selling it with out permission. However, if I released the game as freeware, fan fiction, it is unlikely they would do anything major. About the worst I could expect is a legal letter ordering me to remove the game from my web site, and abandon the project. Although, I wouldn't necessarily have to put it on my web site to begin with. I could always slap it on my Send Space account where they aren't likely to stumble across it. In other words if I release it as anonymously or release it possibly as open source there isn't a whole lot they can do to me legally. It will largely take the teeth out of their legal bite I think. I know that the open source community, for example, has won several battles over copyrights and the courts are beginning to allow more copyrighted content to be used under the free fair use claws of the copyright law. This by no means makes it strictly legal, per say, but I've seen a number of free open source clones of games out there that would technically violate copyright law, but have been allowed to continue development. It is a fine line, but the fact remains going free and possibly open source with a project like that would be my best bet.

Hi Shaun, Oh, that could be. Haven't watched DS9 in a while so I have forgotten what the claxon sounds like. Still I'm a bit surprised the red alert for the Sovereign-Class ships seen in Star Trek 8 was replaced by another claxon sound. To me that just sounds off. You know what I mean? However, some of the other sounds are pretty good. I like the fact someone mixed the weapons with the ship sounds. That made it more realistic in some cases.

Re: [Audyssey] lone wolf question
Hi, As for the walkthroughs I don't know if there has ever been a serious effort at writing walkthroughs for every single user created mission. As there are close to a hundred of them now it would be a major undertaking. However, as for getting rammed by enemy ships that's pretty easy. If you see a destroyer or battleship baring down on you don't stick around and wait for it to ram you. Instead you should dive down deep enough to clear the bottom of the enemy's hull. For destroyers about 60 feet or more is good. For battleships try about 100 feet or so in order to clear the bottom of the hull. Oh, and after you reach a safe depth go quiet as you can as you don't want them to find you and depth charge you out of the water either. Lol!
