Re: [Audyssey] swamp saving game question
I like the mp5 for that reason. It runs just like it and I can just burst fire like you would with the actual weapon. I stand there waiting to get a few zombies very close but not that close or sometimes a bit almost to close to striking distance then I moe them down. really satisfying.

Re: [Audyssey] correspondence
Hi. This isn't completely true. I've had it happen both ways to me in the past so I know what I'm talking about in this case. The way you're talking about is one of the things that can happen. The other is that video intercept is installed, but not currently working properly. The result of it just not working properly is that it doesn't read certain things, notably the names of tabs in some multi page dialogue boxes, like Windows Task Manager and also that the JAWS cursor just reads blank blank all the time. This problem can be brought about in a variety of different intricate ways, but most common is that something changed in video settings. Resolution changes for instance. A few laptops start the problem if they are put into and later brought out of stand by or sleep depending which OS, or hibernation. Some will do it if they support docking stations and happen to get hooked into one or removed from it. There are some Linovo computers that are really bad for this for some reason. I've even seen it happen if a certain program throws up a window that is transparent but which takes foreground or if a program throws up a notification window that isn't part of the task bar or alt tab loop. If you try to use the jaws cursor it may just read that window, not read anything, read mixes of tidbits from the window you want and that window and possibly a window you don't even want to hear anything about, or just read properly like you wanted. Mcafee Anti Virus for instance does this a lot. Win7 and Vista are supposed to be better about it because of mirror driver instead of video chaining, but It still happens there too every now and then. Restarting JAWS or the whole computer might fix it. Although VIP Mud doesn't require the JAWS cursor anyway, you use the read only edit window to read, which you can reach by pressing tab from the input window. It's still possible for video intercept problems to mess up that sort of situation, though I don't know if JAWS relies on video intercept to read that particular window in VIP Mud. I kind of doubt it but I have seen it make other read only fields show up as blank when they weren't before. Usually I just restart JAWS when it happens to me and that fixes it.

The MUD client also seems to disconnect at the drop of a hat, so I feel as if I'm in Dickens' circumlocution office (Reference, Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens, in which the hapless person is going round in circles and backwards at the same time, in short, going nowhere at all). It doesn't do any good to tell me to try different Mud clients out as I have no idea how to determine if I like them or not. (You're talking to the one who doesn't know what to do with the Mud client she already has, let alone any others which might be used by the blind.) As far as I know, there is absolutely no literature on the subject for rank beginners like myself. I can't seem to get beyond first base in playing an RPG because of this MUD client problem.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT Version 1.1 Released!
Hello Kai, I have plans to implement joystick support, for sure. It just didn't make it into this release, because I felt that it needed to be released as quickly as possible due to the many bugfixes, and of course also the new features that people were waiting for. It'll happen though, don't worry. Now that I have a check for updates option in the program group, I will be able to release smaller updates more frequently rather than one huge release once or twice a year.

Re: [Audyssey] playing swamp with a touch pad
Many laptops have an on/off switch for the touch pad, or perhaps a key combination such as function + F7 to serve as the on/off switch. I only mention this first because I've had bug reports that traced back to a person not knowing they had to turn their touch pad on before they could use it, lol. Once the game starts, putting your finger anywhere on the touch pad will work, and the sliding side to side will steer you. If you find that your finger has reached the edge and you need to still turn more, just lift your finger, put it at the other end, and continue sliding. The touch pads are like the mouse in that they work by relative movement and not absolute position. That's just a fancy way of saying that if you lift your finger, or the mouse, and set it back down the computer doesn't care. There are likely 2 buttons under the touch pad that serve as the left and right mouse buttons for shooting and walking. > Hi all. I have a hp laptop and it > does have a touch pad.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
Hi tom. I might invest in a gaming mouse at some point if more games use one, and certainly even though I'm not hugely experienced with the mouse I'd rather use one than a joypad, sinse unlike a joypad a mouse uses your hole hand and has logical things for your fingers to do. That light saber game sounds cool! jeremy was speculating about the mouse on the audiogames.net forum a while ago and why people were so reluctant to play his daytona game, and one thought I had then is perhaps we need less complex, more practice type games to use the mouse. Swamp from what I've seen has fairly similar controls to say shades of doom (leaving aside the multiplayer), but uses the mouse to aime. Games that use a familiar concept but do it with the mouse might be a nice way to move people forward. Afterall, mainstream gamers will be using the mouse all the time to move round the screen and click on things, where as vi gamers won't. thus, a symple sterrio targiting game like whoopass, or a boppit game where the sounds corresponded to mouse directions might be a nice training exercize here. I remember brian smart's mouse game attempts, and those were deffinately going the right way, something like that might be helpful here too, say a light saber training sim with the floating droid in Starwars.

Hi, The light saber deuling game was a test application only. I'm not even sure I have a copy of it any more. Although, I could probably recreate it if needed. Said functionality will likely find its way into some game or other as I will likely want to add sword fighting etc to future games. Cheers! On 11/16/11, Darren Duff wrote: > Dude! A lightsaber game?

Re: [Audyssey] correspondence
I played lusternia for a long time. You have to disable certain visual elements, which I can't remember how to do, but it works well enough. For something simple to get the feel for a mud, try something relatively open like Valhalla or CoffeeMUD. As for VIPMud, hit tab to go into your "output window" where text goes after it comes from the MUD. Sometimes, like for example in combat, you may not have time to review every line of text before you need to make a decision, but other situations, especially those involving computer controlled characters, will usually afford you a chance to review. Still, and no offense intended, it may be worth your while to learn, or practice, gaining necessary information from a stream of text. For example: does it matter that you're in a mine shaft, if a group of angry goblins are attacking you. It only matters if you didn't want to be there, and if you are fighting, it's probably too late to worry about whether you're where you want to be. This is especially serious in most MUD style games, because most of them have a prompt, something that lets you know you're free to type. However, most prompts feature several vital stats: your hitpoints and mana are usually displayed in fantasy games, but there usually are very many stats you can choose to have displayed. Not having the prompt is, frankly, a bad idea, but it's hard to get used to ignoring or skipping it when it's not important. I don't know what rate you have your screen reader set to, but I would suggest a relatively fast one, at least while you're gaming. Outside the question of MUD gaming, there are table top RPG games which allow for a much more flexible approach. My friends and I play something like this, albeit on a less mapped out style than is usually common, and using a pen and paper interface is great for players of all levels. Some games rely strictly on your imagination to create the world around you, as relayed by the Game Master, who narrates your story, engineers encounters, and helps decide outcomes of such encounters. Other games offer maps or boards with pieces that players control to go around the world. These games are usually a little easier for beginning role players to get a handle on, but because of the limited and unchanging nature of a mapped out world, they're more limited and mapped out games. I hope this exhaustive explanation and specification helps. Good luck and happy gaming.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
It's just that it functions, is supposed to function, as a standard gamepad. It's supposed to be mappable, and if it were a problem with just a few buttons not working, that'd make sense. However, it's more that some games see some buttons and not others, and other games see buttons that the first games didn't, while not seeing some that they did. It's like the game doesn't ... like the controller. Which is weird.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
Hi, Well, I think your issue is that for the XBox 360 controllers etc games are suppose to use Microsoft's new XInput library. However, many older games use DirectInput instead. There are no doubt some compatibility issues with XBox controllers and DirectInput exist because the API is now 10 years old and hasn't been updated in years. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Update on game app for IOS devices I'm working on.
Hey, no I don't need any beta testers for this app. This app is finish so now we are submitting it apple right now. So if everything goes right then this app will be release in a couple of weeks. Since different ones have ask me about beta testing the app I will let them help with the next app that me and the developer does. This app is a IOS app which means it will play on iPhone, iPod, iPad. I hope everyone on here gets the app. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Re: [Audyssey] Update on game app for IOS devices I'm working on.
Hey, this is excellent news. One thing I'm curious about is on what platform is the game dev writing this game on. Also, do you need any beta testers? *smile*. Raul A.

As you may know I am in the middle of working on a app for the IOS devices. I want to give a quick update on the work that has been done. When my developer sent me the first version of the beta version of the app the voice over would not read the different app eliments automatically. In the new beta version he got voice over to automatically read all the app eliments. In the first beta version of the app their wasn't a restart game button. In the new beta version their is a restart button. You may be asking what is the restart game button for and what is the deal about having voice over read automatically. Will here is the reasons for these two items in the app. First since this app is a game pack you will be able to pick your game and while you are playing your game if you beat it or lose or you just want to start over you can press the restart game button at anytime while in a game. The reason for voice over to automatically read the different eliments of the app is because the gameplay will be faster so you the player don't have to keep sliding your fingure around the screen you can just make a choice. Here is one more information about the app it does support blue tooth keyboards for those who want to use their keyboards instead of the on screen keyboard. And another cool thing about this app if you are playing one of the games and you got to exit the app for whatever reason the app automatically pauses where you are at in the app. I will be testing another beta version of the app and I hope that it will be able to be release in the app store for all of you. Two things is one the app will be totally free and we are hoping that the app will be out by the end of the month. I will update on the app after I test it to let everyone know how the progress is going. I hope when I give the next update on here I will be able to say the app is ready for the app store. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] correspondence
Hi Kim. I'm afraid I don't use Jaws, but I have recently got into playing muds myself using vipmud with sapi, which is stil the most newby friendly client. How muds work is like this. The text is sent across the net from a mud to your client completely in real time. What this means is if you have ten seconds to defuse a bomb, you'll have the text 10, 9, 8 etc appearing at second intervals on your screen. Assuming your client is working correctly, vipmud should read the text as it automatically appears, incidently, this is why I use sapi not Hal, sinse I need the text read as it comes, not reviewed by me. vipmud is user friendly because it has two separate areas for displaying text, input and output. so all the commands you type into the mud are in the in put area, while what the mud sends to you is in the output one. Hitting tab should switch you betwene them, and once in either area, you should be able to use up and down arrows to review line by line just as in a text document. This means the things you type are separate from the mud, making it easier to tell what is going on. This is of course how things are supposed to work. There are three reasons I can see why you might be having problems. First, a problem with Jaws 13. As I said, I don't use Jaws, but you might want to try switching to sapi output just to see if that makes a difference, sinse if that fixes it you'll know where to look for the issue. 2: a problem with your own connection. what muds have you tried thus far? it might be that the muds you've tried have themselves been on dodgy connections. I'd suggest trying something known to be stable like alteraeon just to test this. how is your own internet connection normally? muds are pretty low on bandwidth but they do require a stable connection that doesn't fluctuate. If you have issues with signal strenth or the like this might be the problem. Laslty, it could be a problem with vipmud. This I think is less likely in general sinse the program has been extensively tested, but of course anything is possible. You might want to contact david greenwood and ask about this, sinse generally he's good with tech questions and of course he knows the program next. hope some of this is helpful, and if you have anymore questions about muds just ask. Btw, I'd recommend keeping this discussion on list rather than as "corrispondance" as you put it, sinse then you can have more people's opinions involved, people who for instance, might be using jaws. Afterall, game proglem solving is part of what this list is for. All the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: "Kim Friedman" To: Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 12:07 PM Subject: [Audyssey] correspondence Hi, I'd like to get messages from those who do role playing and/or mudding because this is something I'd like to learn how to do and I am having a quite difficult time even making the attempt to do so. For one thing, my screen reader (Jaws 13) hasn't been working with the one MUD client I have (VIP MUD) because if I use the arrow keys from within a game, it's as if the screen is blank and there's nothing there even though text may be on the screen. The MUD client also seems to disconnect at the drop of a hat, so I feel as if I'm in Dickens' circumlocution office (Reference, Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens, in which the hapless person is going round in circles and backwards at the same time, in short, going nowhere at all). It doesn't do any good to tell me to try different Mud clients out as I have no idea how to determine if I like them or not.

As far as I know, there is absolutely no literature on the subject for rank beginners like myself. I can't seem to get beyond first base in playing an RPG because of this MUD client problem. The text (if it does come) arrives in great clumps and as I said, I can't even review what's there to make any decisions. Please help me out as I am seriously frustrated about this whole situation.
