[Audyssey] the last resort bunkers?
Hi all, For those of you who play the last resort, I've created a bunker but I cannot land on it. In the news section it says that I've made a bunker but if I land on the planet it tells me that I need to come back with 100k bots and antimatter to make a bunker. How can I get into a bunker or is this a bug does anyone know? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] sizes of muds
Hi Jeremy. Fare enough on Alter, I hadn't checked the in game stat, indeed I need to get back to alter myself sinse it is awesome though I'm a trifle stuck at present but that's subject for another post. Mazes can of course make things seem larger than they are, the Dos rpg Fallthru particularly has some horrible mazes that are quite small in actuality but definitely don't seem it due to random exits, although this can often be frustrating rather than interesting in exploring terms. One thing I always like however in exploring are situations where you have areas to explore but need to work or think to get around them and see new stuff, I also obviously appreciate games that reward exploration as well. All the best, dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream. - Original Message - From: Jeremy Brown tyr...@gmail.com To: gamers gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, June 29, 2015 10:31 AM Subject: [Audyssey] sizes of muds Dark, Alter Aeon actually has closer to 45,000 rooms last I checked the world stat command. The average area there is around 100-200 rooms. Most of the truly large areas are actually smaller 100-200 room chunks hooked together. As to Aardwulf, I agree. It might be huge, and I know it is, but it feels small because of the reasons you outlined. Several other muds I have played have been far smaller than Alter Aeon but felt large because of very sparing use of waypoints, portals, etc. Probably a good rule of thumb is figure that anything above 15,000 rooms is pretty big ish, while 30,000 and up seems a lot rarer. Course, with odd linkages an area can seem much bigger than it is by dumping you back in the same rooms repetitively. I don't think I really added materially to this, but while I enjoy mudding, I admit I almost always end up back on Alter Aeon when I've been unfaithful:) Take care, Jeremy -- In the fight between you and the world--back the world!

Re: [Audyssey] Alteraeon and a suggestion, legacy characters
Hi, That is actually a really great idea! I really like the structured way that quests work in sloe but am having issues figuring out where exactly to progress once getting to the mainland.

Re: [Audyssey] Space traders
Because of the way it's written, it would not work in dos without some major tweaking. It does work on linux and osx. I've not tested it under windows, but I'd wager if you have the cygwin environment installed, it would work just fine. It runs as a server, and you can telnet to it to connect and play the game. As I mentioned before, it's the gpl open source version of ioresort.com, It's not exactly the same game, but it's evolution into ioresort is very obvious when you see it working. This guy has been writing these kinds of games for many years, as I mentioned before, starting with czarwars and seatraders, back in the 90s, so it's an interesting study to see how things have evolved for this game since the bbs days.

Re: [Audyssey] braille/large print/other media for audio games (was info games game engines)
There are services online where you can upload your finished product, then folks can go there and purchase copies of the cd when they want them. This would allow folks who want to distribute audio cds to purchase them (it's like a dollar per disk, and you don't need to worry about burning it yourself in that case) and the discs are then mailed out to whoever orders them. This would be a nice alternative for folks who don't want to spend 10 minutes making an audio cd themselves for the few cents a cd-r would cost.

You can probably get the disks for $50 (ish), but you can only burn them one at a time, and each and every one would take at least 10 minutes of active work by the person doing the burning. I'm not saying that it'd be impossible, but that making audio cds as a primary form of distribution for the entire leaflet is probably not our best idea. Further, there'd also be the fact of narration - I know a lot of people who would not want to listen to what is essentially a glorified advertisement done by synthesizer. Therefore, we'd have to have somebody narrate the whole thing (professionally, not some internal mic with background hiss), and then somebody to edit that narration. The idea of an audiogames cd has its own merits - if we wanted, we could put together trailors of a number of different games and distribute them on the cd along with our introduction, but I think that such a project is a bit beyond the scope of what we're currently considering. -- From: Danielle Ledet singingmywa...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2015 19:20 To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] braille/large print/other media for audio games (was info games game engines) Braille and an audio CD.

Re: [Audyssey] the last resort bunkers?
Oh, if you sent him an email, I have no doubt he'll do something about it. He's a pretty good guy, and although he doesn't act on every suggestion, he was pretty accomodating back when autobbs was out, I pointed out a problem with the maintenance cycle, basically, it wouldn't fire if the screen saver was turned off, which I always did, because I didn't want my screen reader telling me the stats every minute or so, so I just turned off the screen saver, and unfortunately, the maintenance trigger was inside the screen saver code, but after it was brought to his attention, he quickly solved the problem, and posted a new version of autobbs.

Bunkers are definitely broken. I've built two of them on the same planet, and even transferred things into the second one hoping it would make the bunker stay put this time, but still, no go. My guess is that you need to build the bunker, then enter it and log out for things to behave properly, but I've got better things to do with my 1 hundred thousand microbots than buy another bunker that may or may not work. Working on purchasing enough cargo holds to get the ship upgraded to the next level. Currently, I just park my ship iin a sector I've protected with a level 3 or 4 starbase, then logout, it works and I don't have to worry about the starbase going away, as they still appear when I come back to the sector, unlike bunkers.

In the news section it says that I've made a bunker but if I land on the planet it tells me that I need to come back with 100k bots and antimatter to make a bunker. How can I get into a bunker or is this a bug does anyone know? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] sizes of muds
Dark, Alter Aeon actually has closer to 45,000 rooms last I checked the world stat command. The average area there is around 100-200 rooms. Most of the truly large areas are actually smaller 100-200 room chunks hooked together. As to Aardwulf, I agree. It might be huge, and I know it is, but it feels small because of the reasons you outlined. Several other muds I have played have been far smaller than Alter Aeon but felt large because of very sparing use of waypoints, portals, etc. Probably a good rule of thumb is figure that anything above 15,000 rooms is pretty big ish, while 30,000 and up seems a lot rarer. Course, with odd linkages an area can seem much bigger than it is by dumping you back in the same rooms repetitively. I don't think I really added materially to this, but while I enjoy mudding, I admit I almost always end up back on Alter Aeon when I've been unfaithful:) Take care, Jeremy -- In the fight between you and the world--back the world!

[Audyssey] downloading puzzles for BG Crossword
Ann, There's several sites and processes for downloading new puzzles in the documentation for the game itself. Apparently the Guardian recently changed the way their online puzzles are formatted, but the game can handle this with some tweaking. Ian sent out an email about it not too long ago. I believe any puzzle that can be downloaded as an html file can be used, but don't quote me on that. Take care, Jeremy -- In the fight between you and the world--back the world!

[Audyssey] what to do once you finish the newbie island on Alter Aeon
This might be a good place for an article for A.A.'s web site, but here goes some thoughts: 1. While things are still in flux, the areas near Ralnoth, especially the areas directly east of the town and directly west of the town are less scary than some farther out. Wallachia for instance west of Ralnoth has difficult bits, but is doable for a lower level character or characters. The same is true of the upper levels of the termite hive to the north and east. The admin staff is working to try and bring areas into line so that the transition from the islands to the mainland isn't such a jump. 2. Ask on gossip or chat. While you'll get a lot of differeant answers, these can give you a place to start from. Look at the area list and compare the levels of the area suggested to what you were last running. If it's more than 3 levels difference, give that a pass for a while. The area level estimation system is not perfect, but it's better than it used to be, and the admin staff is working hard to bring it into line. 3. Mooch some off larger groups, then go back and explore in the direction of areas you've been to. 4. Explore. For about 100-150 rooms in any direction from Ralnoth, a level 30 can make it solo. It might be difficult, and preparation might be in order in some cases, but part of exploration is knowing when to run away. 5. Use the area list on the web site and make a list of likely places. The coordinates given in game can help. 0,0 if I remember correctly is just south of the baker's shop in Ralnoth. The rest of the grid is Cartesian. That at the very least gives you a direction to go. 6. Use nearby. 7. Use the profile command, look at higher level character's deeds, especially the end of the list, and see what they did when they were your level. All of these are possibilities that help you figure out what to do and where to go. Further, some areas, such as Old Thalos or Castle Dragnock are areas that you might visit and revisit at different levels for different purposes. If you are someone who hates talking on public channels, find a player who will answer questions via tell. I'm one such, my main char on game is Lexie. As long as you aren't rude and approach the problem understanding that not every player has a rat trap memory for directions, areas, mobs, equipment, fame, levels, etc, then you're in business. Hope this helps some. Jeremy -- In the fight between you and the world--back the world!

[Audyssey] size of muds?
Hi. Looking at the description of Erionmud on mud connector a thought occurred to me. I often see muds mentioned as having x thousand rooms, but I find this a little difficult to process in terms of how large the mud is. As someone who loves exploring,I obviously like lots of teretory, but it's also not just a question of how big the thing is sinse another factor is how interesting or involved the exploring is, both in terms of descriptions, and in terms of the travelling. Clok for example I believe has about three thousand rooms which is comparatively small, but the fact that it has a fully realized wilderness and exploration system means it feels much larger. Aardwolf famously has over thirty thousand rooms, but the auto speedwalk command and heavy use of portals means that it feels more like exploring a set of disconnected areas (a little like Eamon), rather than a huge connected world. AlterAeon I believe has around thirty thousand rooms as well, but unlike Aardwolf travel requires actually traversing through areas, making it feel larger. I think Materiamagica has more actual rooms quantatively, (the cities really are! realistically gigantic), but because of the wilderness random generation system many have the same description repeated which can make you feel like your not getting anywhere, although I will say it does make cities feel like cities rather than a few item shops surrounding a castle :D. I don't know how big Wayfar1444 actually is, but I will say in that game the procedural generation of rooms and the many random elements you find in the different environments make exploration feel awesome, for all I do wish the developers would implement an ability to find a given biome type on a planet. Promethius from what I've tried actually feels a little smaller in scale, though that is possibly due to unfinished rooms kicking around the place rather than the actual number of rooms, though on the plus side space is a nice place to explore and find stuff. Anyone else have more input? Beware the grue! Dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
