Re: [Audyssey] Smugglers 5 Recording?
Hi Tom. I didn't know there wasn't an S5 invasion demo, but then again I bought s5 invasion as soon as it came out. I'll probably have to play s5 a little before doing a podcast, sinse there have been some major changes recently, particularly the changing of the random skills system, but I'll certainly see what I can do. Sinse however my rowland recorder is at my flat in Durham, it'll likely be next week anyway. Beware the grue!

Hi Dark, Not only that, but I think you should do a podcast on S5 because there is a demo available for it where there isn't one for Invasion yet. I haven't got Invasion yet, but I think S5 is really the best of s1 through S5 so far, and is best for an introduction into the series. On 6/5/14, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Thanks Alisan.

I was thinking if I did one that I would probably use standard s5 rather than s5 invasion, just because that still has the cessession plot and the same factions and war system from s3, as well as missing out on some of the more strategical battle skills that are in s5 invasion, plus I could then do one on s5 invasion later and talk about the differences in the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Smugglers 3 Recording
I have played smuglers5 I got the smuglers bundle. Its worth noting that in the latest smuglers 5 the same battle system used in invasion is included so if you don't like it you shouldn't upgrade to s5 versions after 2.10. The reason I dig s5 over any of the others is that you have the ability to explore plannets and go on side quests. Everything from hunting down pirates to doing odd jobs for random things. Just make sure that if a quest is in the system or a system you havn't reached that is not under your control that you should make sure you have it firstt and write down what you don't do so you can do it. The other thing ofcause is if the system is your's and you want a break concidder how much worthwhile is a quest to you, if you loose that system then well you may or may not get it.

You're thinking of the recorder in xp or earlier. Windows7 has a recorder which removes the time limit. It doesn't have as many save options (I think its 128kbps wma), but you can tape for however long you want and if you redirect the default device you can tape whatever you need, providing that you don't want to tape two devices at once.

The main reason why I am firmly sticking to Unicode is because different screen readers support different formats, but they all appear to support Unicode. I also feel that in this day and age, providing both an ANSI and a Unicode version of the same function isn't the way to go. So for me it'd be the most convenient if BGT could gain a mechanism to prepare a Unicode string. This might find some use in other people's applications too! Passing int-pointers is no problem to me. I want to write a wrapper specifically so that third-party developers don't have to worry about those nitty gritty details. In all honesty, I haven't done much testing with actual Unicode or UTF-8 data yet. Maybe my implementation is still failing somewhere too. I originally started working on it for a project that is totally unrelated to gaming. Porting it to as many things as possible just seems a logical next step. But adding functionality (such as ANSI functions) to support one specific programming language is taking it a little too far as long as I don't need it myself. In fact, QuentinC has a screen reader library (UniversalSpeech) which already has ANSI functions, so for real developers out there that'd be a good option. Now for adding screen readers to BGT... Here is the official documentation for the SuperNova API, which admittedly isn't very satisfying: http://www.yourdolphin.com/productdetail.asp?id=1z=14page=682#api Their API is more limited than most, but both synchronous and asynchronous speech are available. ZoomText is a different story. They have a very extensive COM implementation much like Window-Eyes, but the company doesn't want to provide support for it outside of their own scripting facilities. It also requires a registry patch to get it to work because their installer program forgets to set things up properly. I have reported this to them and they indicated they'd fix it at some point. Once you applied the patch it works great (from C++ at least), but I'm not sure if it's suited for BGT. Might be better to wait for their developers to fix the installer so end-users don't have to apply patches (which most users won't want to do anyway). Thanks, Davy -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Philip Bennefall Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2014 13:48 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] BGT And Screen Readers And Unicode And More Hi Davy, The foundation of BGT is Ansi, which is a sort of historical accident from back when I first started the project. I did not envision it ever needing Unicode because it was primarily meant to use audio and any printed text would be mostly for debugging. There was no Sapi support planned at that time, and screen readers were even further from my mind. This was in mid 2009. Were I designing it today, it would be a Unicode application. With that said, there are definitely ways to solve it. Since BGT is Ansi, you can use UTF-8 strings without any trouble. Converting from UTF-8 to wide characters on Windows is trivial, so that's a function that I could definitely introduce. As far as the dll interface is concerned you'd just be passing an int* pointer whenever a wide character string was needed. Alternatively you could introduce UTF-8 conversion support to your own dll, which would be a nice convenience feature I'd say. I am certainly not opposed to adding native support for more screen readers if there is enough interest. Have you got any links to official references, redistribution terms for the dll's if any, etc? If so I would be more than happy to look into it.

Re: [Audyssey] How to record
Personally I use a hand held digital recorder, the rowland r09. That specific model is likely obsolete now but there must be others of a similar type and range. The advantage is that it's very easy to use and no need mucking about with random software or many cables, the R09 also has a couple of rather nice sterrio mikes as well. The disadvantage is that you can't play on headphones and reccord a game at the same time, it must be done with speakers and you need to line your speakers up with the machine, which is why I haven't done any podcasts or audio for a while.

Re: [Audyssey] How to record
Hi Steven, If you want a free application that is good for recording, editing, converting file types, etc I suggest getting Audacity for Windows. It is fairly accessible and works pretty well with Jaws, NVDA, and Window-Eyes. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] How to record?
About all I ever used Sound Recorder for was to mix different files together in the process of making funny skits, and that only because I could never figure out how to do it with Gold Wave, which I used for adding effects to the voice clips I.E. if it was taking place in an echoy roomlike a bathroom. Wellthat and of course converting te finished product to an mp3 file. Oh freddled gruntbuggly, thy micturations are to me as plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.

Hi John, You would be correct. I hadn't tried Sound Recorder since the XP days since I found it to be junk, and to be honest I just tried out the version with Windows 7 and still find it very dissatisfactory. To be honest Audacity is totally free and it blows Sound Recorder away hands down. So I would suggest that people interested in doing their own podcasts and such to go with Audacity which is a much better option and forget about Sound Recorder as a serious tool for recording and editing stuff.
