Re: [Audyssey] OT: Please help to support one of our own.

Hello Joseph,

As Damien said that's no excuse for breaking the list guidelines. the
list guidelines are clear about off topic messages, and if you
knowingly send a post with ot, off topic, or anything else like that
in the subject line you are still in violation of the guidelines. Plus
there is a certain procedure to follow and neither Damien or I were
informed ahead of time to evaluate this thread so we have little
choice but to carry out our jobs as moderators and begin placing
certain individuals on moderation. Hopefully they will learn how to
follow the rules next time.

Cheers!

 when you click on the link above just click yes on the dialog box and it

 Smugglers 5 - Beta released !!

I am happy to announce that we have finished the development of the fifth 
installment of the Smugglers series. Today we have released a feature complete 
and fully playable beta version of the game.

Smugglers 5 is the fifth installment in the turn-based single-player space 
trading game series. Will you be a greedy trader, an ambitious fleet pilot or a 
ruthless pirate? Board enemy ships, manage factories, conquer star systems and 
forge your own galactic empire - ultimately, your actions will have an impact 
on a galactic scale.

“It’s basically Elite… but turn-based. [...] - Rockpapershotgun.com

Smugglers 4 offers an open-ended universe [...] - Outofeight.info

The fifth instalment in the long-running Smugglers series features a completely 
revised turn-based combat system and a range of new ships to fly, as well as a 
host of exciting features: 
•   Explore the galaxy through a fast turn-based travel and combat system
•   4 factions; 6 professions with new, unique skill trees; 100+ different 
skills and a revised skill system
•   30+ spaceships and encounters ranging from fighters to battleships, 
cruise missiles and star bases
•   Non-linear war and campaign system. You can influence the war!
•   Manage a crew, board enemy ships, become an Admiral and command whole 
fleets
•   Plunder planets and pirate outposts, conquer space systems and even 
rule your own empire!
•   Supply and demand based trading with prices influenced by storyline and 
campaign
•   Advanced text generation technology and new short stories for planet 
exploration make every game different
•   Marry a beautiful wife and have children
•   Optional compatibility mode to allow blind players to enjoy the game
•   and much more ...

The six most important new features compared to Smugglers 4:
•   You can now start and rule your own empire!
•   Manage your own factories or pirate outposts
•   Raid and plunder planets or pirate outposts
•   80,000 words of new and dynamic short stories (the equivalent of a full 
length novel)
•   Completely revised skill and combat system
•   Play as an independent adventurer - or join the military

There's a ship in the hangar and the stars are calling to you. Don't keep them 
waiting.

but you may still encounter a bug or problem.

Hi list.

When using Mush-Z to play Alter Aeon, and I move in a particular

I'll also remind people to please not confuse the rules about offtopic 
messages on audeasy with those the entombed list. Sinse the entombed 
discussion list is much smaller than this one and we get far fewer messages, 
ot messages are! allowed there if marked as ot. This is very different from 
the audeasy rules where ot messages are utterly and completely out, but a 
necessity given list sizes, rather the way that where you could dash 
straight across the road in a tiny country village where there was no

2012-10-05 Thread dark
I've just had a go of it, it seems a lot like four accept there is the 
planetary exploration option, which looks great.


The only problem I'm having however is an issue in the combat display, with 
the buttons for special abilities and the like randomly not displaying 
lables correctly (I clicked on taunt and got my ship's special ability, then 
it all chnged to mines and other stuff and the taunt text vanished). I'm 
hoping that was just the tutorial, but I'll give that another go and see.


All the best, Beware the Grue!

I'm not sure Darren.

I remember a similar problem with one of the early s4 betas, but for some 
reason I can't find any of the extra special ability buttons such as taunt 
or use ship's, I just get repeating text. I wonder if there is a problem 
there sinse I do remember a similar issue once in s4 in one of the early 
betas.

I've mailed Niels and he says he'll have a look at the combat icons.

I hope it's fixable, sinse it's a little irritating at the moment 
particularly sinse combat looks more complex,   for those who've played 
s3, mines have returned!


All the best,

DArk.

Well it's worth a shot perhaps, I haven't started playing it yet but I

do.

Will the game end though when you hit a certain age? Last time certainly 
in

sm3 it didn't take long only a few days play before your character retired

I'm not sure Darren.

I remember a similar problem with one of the early s4 betas, but for some
reason I can't find any of the extra special ability buttons such as taunt
or use ship's, I just get repeating text. I wonder if there is a problem
there sinse I do remember a similar issue once in s4 in one of the early
betas.

Hi dark,

Well it's still technically a beta so you can contact them with whatever
you
find and ask them to make changes I guess.

I've just had a go of it, it seems a lot like four accept there is the
planetary exploration option, which looks great.

The only problem I'm having however is an issue in the combat display,
with
the buttons for special abilities and the like randomly not displaying
lables correctly (I clicked on taunt and got my ship's special ability,

it all chnged to mines and other stuff and the taunt text vanished). I'm
hoping that was just the tutorial, but I'll give that another go and see.

Awesome I figured he'd have a look. he's been quite approachable in the

So what about the age thing, is that going to kill the game just when it
gets interesting??

Ok, silly question is if they've implemented screen reader compatibility 
modes in it or something, how come it seems totally silent, except for 
background music sound when I try it out with both jaws 14/13 and NVDA?


Did also manage to turn off background music in options dialogue, after 
exploring screen with jaws/mouse cursor, and tried clicking on what gets 
called screen reader compatibility mode, but not sure if it was already 
checked or not, and in any case, game is still silent/unusable...?


This is on a windows7 64 bit machine if that makes a difference.

And, yes, also tried accessing it without jaws turned on in case it was 
blocking keystrokes, but no difference - still completely silent?

screen reader compatibility means labled text and buttons, not auto 
output.


You'll need  your screen  readers' virtual  curser for it, though  if you 
not tried the smugglers series I'd  probably recommend starting with 4 
because the  compatibility in 5 is still a work in  progress it seems.

The controls in the game  are none standard ones,  simply text on a screen 
some  bits of which you need to click   on for the game functions, no 
buttons or check boxes, it sounds complicated but it's really simple when 
you get the  knack, and indeed smugglers 4 works perfectly as far as I've 
gathered (3 isn't bad either,  but the interface there is totally different 
and does!  standard controls. There was no compatibility mode in 3 though, 
it just worked with most screen readers).


I do know people have! successfully played s4 with Jaws, though I have heard 
the jaws virtual curser isn't quite as user friendly as the one in supernova 
or window eyes when it comes to the game,  still I do know several people 
have done it, it's just a case of trying and working it out.

Ok, but, if even the jaws/mouse cursor doesn't seem to recognise control 
types - it seems to call what I think must be checkboxes, something like a 
group box, how does that implement screen reader compatibility...?


Just asking, and will try it out a bit more, but anyway.

You'll need  your screen  readers' virtual  curser for it, though  if you

because the  compatibility in 5 is still a work in  progress it seems.

As  I said Jacob, they aren't! standard controls, they're  just hotspots in 
the text.


For  instance when it says  click here to select the mighty federation 
here is just where you click, on the word which lables the image.


This is quite familiar to anyone who's played old dos games or indeed most 
things with  none standard or labled controls, indeed  sinse in Supernova 
virtual curser (albeit with a few bells andwhistles for net navigation), 
is what you use all of the time anyway, it's not such a  change there.


I've heard nvda has troubles, but that's due to it not having quite as 
useable a mouse emulation curser as yet (something which might change in the 
future), though jaws should  manage provided  you can get used to simply 
dealing with text and none standard controls.

although, what if I don't want to marry a beautiful wife but instead have a

HI,

Let's see.

the batch file says to copy all 3 files to the syswow64 folder. did you do 
that?

then it makes sure you are in that folder to register the files. did you 
make sure the syntax is correct?

After each  one, did you hear the system say the file has been registered 
properly?

Try the procedure again.

If it doesn't work. write back or email Aprone directly for assistance. I do 
know one other person who had trouble. They too had to register the files 
again to get them to take.

good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] Smugglers 5 Beta released

2012-10-05 Thread Alex Wallis

Hi,
I haven't played the beta myself, but I do have a suggestion that I 
found helps considerably with navigation in smugglers 4, so I see no 
reason why this wouldn't work with 5.

I found that the hotspot clicker jaws scripts worked very well with 4.
For those who don't know, hotspot clicker is a set of very advanced jaws 
scripts that allow you to define at there simplest areas of the screen 
to be clicked on with a hotkey.
If you want to get more advanced, you can chain spots together, to 
perform several actions at once, or alternatively one after another 
automatically in sequence.
In this way, you could set jaws up to click parts of a screen in 
sequence, so for example to click an option to do something, and then 
automatically click the OK button to confirm the action.
I set up a lot of keys for smugglers 4, hotspot clicker is very useful 
in a lot of applications,
You can also set the scripts up to monitor for changes in colour, 
piccsle, it can even automatically scan apps for unlabelled tooltips and 
try to label them for you.
Its functionality is so complex and varied I can't do it justice in a 
short message, I would suggest check its website out for more information.

it is
http://hotspotclicker.org/
Hope people find the above useful,
Alex.

2012-10-05 Thread dark

Hi alex.

that is handy to know. Would it help jaws users if I put links to hotspot 
clicker on the smugglers 4 page on audiogames.ent (and the smugglers 5 page 
when it has one).


Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Can't get swamp running under windows 7 64 bit.

2012-10-05 Thread Gerardo Corripio
 I had the same problem that the game wouldn't even open on a Windows7 
32 machine. However I ran the bat file and did a combination of Alt+s 
and S until the system said File copied; like this until the system got 
me out of the bat program after the necessary files copied. Afterwards? 
all great! Swamp funcioning great here on my Windows7 32 pc.

HI,

Let's see.

the batch file says to copy all 3 files to the syswow64 folder. did you do
that?

then it makes sure you are in that folder to register the files. did you
make sure the syntax is correct?

After each  one, did you hear the system say the file has been registered
properly?

Try the procedure again.

If it doesn't work. write back or email Aprone directly for assistance. I do
know one other person who had trouble. They too had to register the files
again to get them to take.

good luck.

Hi. I've tried running the batch file and registering the dll's and I can't
seem to get the dlls registered. I'm not sure what to do from here and need
some help.

Thanks.

Rick,

I asked around, but I didn't find anyone on the server who has seen
this problem before.  Your best bet is probably to ask on the mush-z
discussion list; you can get the group link and subscribe over at:

Thanks, it seems to be an issue with the sound pack.
When I log in using quick connect I don't have the problem, but I don't 
have sounds either.

I guess I'll have to play that way, to bad, I really like the sounds.
I had the same problem on my old XP machine.
I'm using windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks again for checking in to it.

Hi,
This should not be happening. What are you using to move' Are you
using the alt+letter keystrokes? Mabe you are pressing them too long
and moving twice.

Best,
