Re: [Audyssey] Draconis Entertainment Releases SilverDollar 1.0.0
Hi Michael, The message about how it is recommended that VoiceOver be disabled while the game is running only appears the first time the game runs. We felt it was more important to limit the chance of it being accidentally interrupted by the user, than to make it interruptible, since it isn't something you click through every time. The music, or other background audio, should not be interrupted at all by other sounds. In fact, this is the first we've heard of this…What are the specs of your Mac? Which version of the OS are you running? I suspect this may be a problem unique to your configuration, or there's a conflict with something else on your machine.

[Audyssey] Dwarf mies in alter aeon
In dragontooth, in the game alter aeon, there is a dwarf who will make things for you if you supply him with mithril. I have found the mines and have been dropping dynamite like a mad bomber, but all I find is mithril coins, and a dwarf who will dig for you if you give him a coin. I have found coal, blue stones, more coins and a portal. Where can I find mithril to bring back to dragontooth.

Hi, Thanks for the example. That is truly bizarre, and not something we've ever seen or heard of. As I'm sure you could tell from David Woodbridge's demo, that is definitely not supposed to happen. We will do some research and see if we can track down the cause. At this point, I'm leaning toward either a quirk with your specific system configuration, or a limitation of the hardware on that specific Mac model…the latter being highly unlikely. Have you tried using other voices to see if the problem is exclusive to Alex? You can change your system voice in System Preferences-Speech Definitely want to get to the bottom of this.

Re: [Audyssey] Draconis Entertainment Releases SilverDollar 1.0.0
Two other things to consider… You said this was a fresh install of OS X 10.7. Have you applied all system updates to Lion? Perhaps this was a TTS bug that has been fixed since Lion's initial release. There were a number of quirks early on, since Apple made a lot of under the hood changes to the TTS service in OS X Lion. Also, you might want to consider just upgrading to Mountain Lion, as it is well worth the $20. :) I'll continue to do some poking around.

We felt it was more important to limit the chance of it being accidentally interrupted by the user, than to make it interruptible, since it isn't something you click through every time. The music, or other background audio, should not be interrupted at all by other sounds. In fact, this is the first we've heard of this…What are the specs of your Mac? Which version of the OS are you running? I suspect this may be a problem unique to your configuration, or there's a conflict with something else on your machine.

Also, I notice this when going through menus, it will interrupt the music for a split second when playing an example sound, for example in change reaction when indicating the end of that section of the tutorial with the sound, it sometimes cuts the music off for a little bit. Also in silver dollar, when the slot machine payouts are playing, it sometimes cuts off the music. Not sure if this is a problem with the game/engine or my machine, but figured I'd point it out.

Re: [Audyssey] help with gagging text on vipmud?
Hey Darren,
How you gag text depends on what method you use to write your trigger.
Personally I like to use the trigger wizard. I just copy the line I want to
gag, paste it into the trigger with an asterisk at the beginning and end,
then use the builder to assign actions to it. If you want to hand code it,
though, that's not hard either.
Say you have the line:
The ship shudders as its lasers are fired.
Place a line like so in one of your .set files:
#trigger {The ship shudders as its lasers are fired.} {#gagline voice}
Placing the word voice after gagline means that the text will still show up
in the log, but it won't be spoken. I like to do it this way because it
makes logs easier to understand. If you don't want the text to even show up
in your output window, you can substitute voice for all, or you can
eliminate the word altogether.
Please let me know if there's anything else you need help with.
All the best,
Ryan

Re: [Audyssey] Silver Dollar.
At the moment, we are not planning scoreboard postings, but it is something we have been giving some consideration to. It is more likely we will have them for iOS/Mac releases than Windows, as both of those platforms include game scoreboards as part of the OS, and Windows does not. No firm decisions have been made on this yet, so time will tell. Maintaining our own, home-grown scoreboards is a lot of work for a very small number of users who actually post to them.

Re: [Audyssey] Silver Dollar.
Will the Windows version of Change Reaction have score board posting? I do not understand why Windows users are being somewhat left out. The mac does not have as many users as Windows, not yet at least, and it seems like you're going to be releasing more games for MAC, with more features for the MAC, ETC, ETC.. A majority of the users on this list use Windows, at least this is what I've seen. I would think, that your money will come from the users of Windows more so than the MAC. Of course, there are some people who use MAC, but not as many. I was also wondering, will there be more pinball tables in the future?

Re: [Audyssey] Silver Dollar.
Going to break your message down into individual questions and try to answer as best I can: *snip* Will the Windows version of Change Reaction have score board posting? *snip* As my previous message said, we have not decided whether any titles will have scoreboard posting yet, or which ones will if some do. Since Mac and iOS both have native scoreboards built-in, which allow users to compete and earn titles without the overhead of custom servers, it is more likely we would support this on Mac/iOS, but we're not sure if any titles will at this point, as the scoreboards were used by only a small handful of all the players who bought our games in the past. We won't, in any case, limit features for one platform just because we can't, or it is unfeasible, to offer it to those using another. Hope that makes sense. Here is another example. Mac offers system-wide spell checking in all text entry areas…be they edit fields, text editors, etc. We wouldn't disable spell checking in a Mac app that accepted text entry, just because Windows XP/Vista/etc does not offer system-wide spell checking. *snip* I do not understand why Windows users are being somewhat left out. The mac does not have as many users as Windows, not yet at least, and it seems like you're going to be releasing more games for MAC, with more features for the MAC, ETC, ETC. *snip* If you read our announcement from the release of ChangeReaction over at draconisentertainment.com or AudioGames.net, you'll see that we plan on releasing desktop titles that are essentially identical on Mac/Windows. We do not expect there to be, in general, feature differences between Mac/Windows releases. Scoreboards might be an exception. Mac releases will come out first, for a variety of reasons, but that doesn't mean there will not be Windows versions. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten our Windows fans. *snip* . A majority of the users on this list use Windows, at least this is what I've seen. I would think, that your money will come from the users of Windows more so than the MAC. Of course, there are some people who use MAC, but not as many. *snip* There is a large and rapidly growing number of blind Mac users, myself included. The demographic of Mac users, especially visually impaired ones, tends to skew younger, which is also the demographic who enjoy and purchase games. We project, and so far the numbers are holding pretty close to our expectations, that we will see at least as many Mac sales as Windows, and possibly more. We will know more definitively when ChangeReaction 2 is released for Windows. While I believe you are correct that most users on this list are Windows users, that has more to do with the fact that, until now, there have been very few audio game titles for the Mac of any description. We are changing this. :) *snip* I was also wondering, will there be more pinball tables in the future? *snip* We don't comment on unannounced releases. Sorry! :) Hope this clears everything up. Mac is no longer as much of a minority as it once was. Windows will have to share the spotlight when it comes to games now. :) --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi, If you open up monkey term, then close the recent connections list if it appears with alt f4, press control+n. That will open a new xml. it should also open the connections dialogue in that xml, where the first field is the name, like alter aeon or aardwolf or pretty much anything you want the title of the window to be, next is the host name, then the port. Press enter, and it should connect. You may need to type sdisconnect if it automatically connects to alter aeon -- can't remember if it does, but if it does just do that then press f4 then enter to open and close the connection dialogue.
