Re: [Audyssey] Using braille displays with accessible games
Hi, I can help you using a Focus 40-80. It amazed me that you can't read braille yourself. Then I realized that you probably weren't forced nor had any reason to learn it when you lost your sight in your early 20's, as far as I remember, but braille output can help and even speed things up a great deal if you want to double-check any longer piece of text or probably even a program code. :-) Not to mention mathematical or chemical formulas. *smile* Lukas - Original Message - From: Che c...@blindadrenaline.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 6:49 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Using braille displays with accessible games Hi all, I am almost done with my online card games hearts and hold em poker.

Both games can currently use jaws as the speech engine as well as sapi, so it seems it wouldn't be too hard to convert the output to work with braille. I cannot read braille myself, but if anyone is on list that can either test the games with a braille display or let me know where I can get more info on making jaws play nice with braille displays, I'd really appreciate it.

Re: [Audyssey] GMA Games unresponsive to licence requests
Yeah, automating the thing might not be a bad idea, would probably save David Greenwood lots of time, as I imagine every developer must be flooded with similar requests. But maybe he's just enjoying a short vacation that he forgot or didn'T have time to announce, or some other real life circumstances are preventing him from responding faster... Don't forget that we're all just ordinary human beings, not perfect flawless machines, performing 100% all the time, so life often interferes with our decisions and intentions. *smiles* Just my thoughts, not that this would happen commonly with GMA, as far as I know.

Another new addition that didn't make it into the trailer that has been added to the game just over the passed 24 hours are warning messages.

Angela will say something like watch out, look out, watch it, etc. It is a great cue that you are in mortal danger.Especially for silent traps like spikes and poison darts that don't make any sound until you trip them.

Yeah, this trailer sounds tons better to me than the first one. The music and new voiceovers make such a great difference in terms of the game's overal feeling or atmosphere... Only the new Angela sounds perhaps a bit too aggressive to me. Do you think that mixing the two voices together, choosing the best fitting sounds for each event from the two sets of screams and grunts, would make a noticeable difference in the end?

Aha, yeah, I see then... That's perfectly ok. Well, having listened to the thing several times, I must say that it doesn't sound as shocking at last as it did the first time. Maybe you could just get the actress to do a less fierce jump scream for you, but that really doesn't hurry at all.

Re: [Audyssey] New MOTA Trailer Released
Yeah, definitely! Now you are right! REminds me of Angel of Darkness, where Lara Croft also used to talk to herself at several occasions. :-D Like when you attempted a task that you were too weak for, so she just said: I'm not strong enough. Or there were several little cluess to help you solve a particularly tough puzzle that sounded misterious at first but later made perfect sense. For example, I remember that there was a place where you unarmed a timed bomb or something like that and then had to get underwater somehow, so she just told you: Dive, girl, dive, or something like that. Wonderful ideas you have, Thomas. Besides, it will be cool to have Angela say something, actual fluent sentences rather than just screams of pain or shock, at certain places in the game.

Hi, that's strange, cause if you jump, you should have enough time and speed to leave the volcano far behind you. Just don't be afraid to jump up as soon as you land, again and again, you should always hear a little single troop or a firepit long before you jump into it. Then you can slow down and walk or run towards it and start jumping again.

Hi all, I am ramping up plans for an online head to head fighting game. At first it will mostly be a test bed for latency issues, so I can see what the limitations are for head to head combat over the internet. One idea I am picking at is the inclusion of The nintendo Wii controllers for the game. It is possible to use the Wii controllers via a blue tooth hookup with a PC. Having used these controlers on my Wii, I can tell you they are amazing. In the boxing game, the faster you punch with the controller, the harder your character punches. In Mortal Combat, you draw a pattern in the air with your controller to execute certain moves. All of this functionality is available with the PC port of the controller software. My question is, how much would the average blind gamer be into this? I think the draw to a head to head fighting game would be good, assuming lag issues could be worked out, but would the average gamer be willing to drop the $50 or so necessary to buy a controller and blue-tooth hook up? The possibilities for useing the Wii controllers is immense for accessible gaming, most especially for action titles. The balance board can be used as well, another $80 or so. Think of the ability to dodge your opponent simply by leaning, or run away from a monster by, well, running. Anyhow, it is an exciting concept, what do you guys think?

Re: [Audyssey] commenting on the phillips game controler.
Hi,wow, this sounds just cool! Looks like this controller would be perfectly usable with a Play STation console emulator on the PC, as it has all the necesary buttons and even in similar shapes and places, and 4 more in addition. I would definitely buy it but maybe would prefer to have a look at it first, but well, this doesn't seem to be a possibility... You know, controlling the games in the emulator just with the keyboard is a pain in the budd. The games were not designed for such controls and it's too slow and awkward. Lukas - Original Message - From: The Kolesar Brothers kolesar16...@roadrunner.com To: Audyssey Mailing list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 3:00 AM Subject: [Audyssey] commenting on the phillips game controler. Hi To all, from Ron and Boz. I finally got a chance to pick up the Phillips hand held game controller model sgc2909. The controller looks like this. With the unit facing you. You have the cable plugged into your usb connecter and it is on the top of the unit. There are two flat buttons to the left of the cable one button to the back and there is one directly under that button. Then across the top of the controller to the right of the cable on the right hand edge of the unit are two more buttons and they're located just like the two buttons on the left side of the connection cable. One button above another button. Maybe DJC AKA Don can tell us what these four buttons are and what their functions are. Now looking at the face of the unit. The best way to describe the unit is that we have a left column of buttons, a center column of buttons and a last column of buttons on the far right hand side. Lets take the far left buttons first. These four buttons are your basic four directional buttons. They're triangle shaped buttons. You have your up arrow, which is at the top. Diagonally from this button about three o'clock is the right arrow button, then at the six o'clock is the down arrow button, then at the nine o'clock is the left arrow button. Now we come to the center. You'll feel a slight bubble, this is the visual display. Just to the left is the escape key and to the right of the display is the enter key. Now if you find the display bubble as your center,Just below the display is a group of four buttons in a diamond like shape. The top button is just under the display . This button is the digital analog mode button. I don't think we'll want to play with this button to much. I could be wrong on this since I'm still learning the unit myself. But if you keep coming down from that button you'll see nothing then if you go down a little further, you'll run into another button. This button is the game mouse button. If you get back in between these two buttons, you'll see a button to your left and a button to your right. This makes up the diamond shape of these four buttons. Maybe DJC could refresh my memory on these buttons once again. This takes care of the center column of buttons. Now we come to the far right hand side of the unit. We run into another diamond shape of four buttons once again. But these buttons are round in shape. Now I don't know what these buttons are either. But for an example for puppy one. I have the three o'clock button as my view button and my nine o'clock button as my fire button. This was the only thing I had to do so that Puppy one would work with the flight controller. The one main thing I have to remember is that the two round knobs at the bottom are your joysticks and they are very very touchy. They don't take much to go in the direction that you want to fly in. So for Puppy one, it is real easily to fly past the enemy planes and then you get shot down. GRIN. I did manage to shoot down 67 enemy planes down on the experience level though. So I do have one game under my belt thus far. I now have to work with out back, blast chamber, troopanum, hunter and the new three d velocity flying game.

Re: [Audyssey] Cross Platform Speech Support
Just great! This should also make the development a bit faster and much less exhausting for you, I think. I just can't wait to see the results and to give you constructive feedback as one who has also seen and played a few of the Tomb Raider games with sighted assistance when the right time and something to base the feedback on arrives. And the alternative system gamers should also be pretty happy. Your projects will be the first really complex and immersive audiogames that are portable.

Re: [Audyssey] commenting on the phillips game controler.
If only I had known there were converters like this around. Thanks so much for the advice. Just for clarification, how do these things actually work? Are they another small device that you just plug the controller into and it can then be connected to a USB port or so?

Hi To all, from Ron and Boz. I finally got a chance to pick up the Phillips hand held game controller model sgc2909. The controller looks like this. With the unit facing you. You have the cable plugged into your usb connecter and it is on the top of the unit. There are two flat buttons to the left of the cable one button to the back and there is one directly under that button. Then across the top of the controller to the right of the cable on the right hand edge of the unit are two more buttons and they're located just like the two buttons on the left side of the connection cable. One button above another button. Maybe DJC AKA Don can tell us what these four buttons are and what their functions are. Now looking at the face of the unit. The best way to describe the unit is that we have a left column of buttons, a center column of buttons and a last column of buttons on the far right hand side. Lets take the far left buttons first. These four buttons are your basic four directional buttons. They're triangle shaped buttons. You have your up arrow, which is at the top. Diagonally from this button about three o'clock is the right arrow button, then at the six o'clock is the down arrow button, then at the nine o'clock is the left arrow button. Now we come to the center. You'll feel a slight bubble, this is the visual display. Just to the left is the escape key and to the right of the display is the enter key. Now if you find the display bubble as your center,Just below the display is a group of four buttons in a diamond like shape. The top button is just under the display . This button is the digital analog mode button. I don't think we'll want to play with this button to much. I could be wrong on this since I'm still learning the unit myself. But if you keep coming down from that button you'll see nothing then if you go down a little further, you'll run into another button. This button is the game mouse button. If you get back in between these two buttons, you'll see a button to your left and a button to your right. This makes up the diamond shape of these four buttons. Maybe DJC could refresh my memory on these buttons once again. This takes care of the center column of buttons. Now we come to the far right hand side of the unit. We run into another diamond shape of four buttons once again. But these buttons are round in shape. Now I don't know what these buttons are either. But for an example for puppy one. I have the three o'clock button as my view button and my nine o'clock button as my fire button. This was the only thing I had to do so that Puppy one would work with the flight controller. The one main thing I have to remember is that the two round knobs at the bottom are your joysticks and they are very very touchy. They don't take much to go in the direction that you want to fly in. So for Puppy one, it is real easily to fly past the enemy planes and then you get shot down. GRIN. I did manage to shoot down 67 enemy planes down on the experience level though. So I do have one game under my belt thus far. I now have to work with out back, blast chamber, troopanum

Re: [Audyssey] Cross Platform Speech Support
Then you should hear some of the czech voices out there. Eloquence sounds so much better than anyone of them. :-D Actually, Acapela has just developed a czech voice now that just rocks and puts every other voice out of place. But it's too expensive and responds rather slowly as well. Oh well, but this is getting off-topic I guess. Just to agree that what is good for a screen reader doesn't have to be good for a game. I actually liked Heather pretty much - I checked her out when I was looking at that czech voice of theirs, so I think this is one of the best available choices for the game. So this is 38 reasons to use her already. *grin* Don't know the other mentioned voices myself, so this is perfect for me.

Re: [Audyssey] whoops! I messed up scorpion's 5th challenge.
Maybe right and left shift could also be used for the top r and l buttons, and the controls for the bottom ones. Just looks more like the controller layout to me. Other than that, your suggestion sounds quite usable and represents the layout as much as possible on a keyboard, I think. This sounds interesting. :-) You know, cause you are usually holding the r and l buttons with another one, much like the shift and ctrl, I thought this was more natural. Then there are also directional keys on the controller, but these can be easily substituted with the arrows.

Re: [Audyssey] question about video game developers
Hi, what I imagined was the lava bubbling and the stones bubbling just a bit differently and louder, so that you could tell their position in the lava. Well, after you realized what that sound represented. And either a sound that increased in pitch as you prepared yourself for the jump or there would be no such feature, that depends on whether there was a jump meter of any sort in Angel of Darkness. There was not as far as I remember. Once you landed on the stone, its bubbling sound, which would now be centered and quite loud, would start to decrease in pitch, meaning that it has been sinking. This would involve some trial and error, finding out and mistakes while the challenge could still be preserved, I think. Of course you would need a key, for example x for examine, that would describe the layout of the room or place to you aloud like in Terraformers, etc, while the game was paused at that time. This would not leave you absolutely stuck and clueless in an unknown environment. Do you get my point?

Re: [Audyssey] question about video game developers
That's natural and not a problem, I think. :-) Just a normal realistic landing sound on a stony type of surface, that would also have to be used at many other places in the game, would represent a successful landing, and as for failure and death, remember any of the old Monty or MOTA sounds when you jump across too wide gap when the vanishing platform you need to get to the other side is currently enjoying a vacation. *smiles* Lukas - Original Message - From: shaun everiss shau...@xtra.co.nz To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 9:51 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] question about video game developers that would be cool oh you also have to get success and falier sounds if a true vid game, you here a chime if you miss you hear a falling down sound then the classic death movie thing.

Re: [Audyssey] Top Speed 2 Utility Pack
Hi, seems that X-sight does not really care about the end user's VB libraries during the installation process. Those runtime errors are mostly caused by a missing library or having a different version than the one that is required by the pack, etc.I've had just a single error that prevented me from even starting the pack, saying that the file comdlg32.ocx or one of its dependencies was not correctly registered or invalid. I fixed that by downloading the file from a website and everything runs greatly since then. Although everything seemed as if I had all required libraries and the most up-to-date versions, I had to download this one from an external source. So perhaps including the required files in the installation package would fix a lot of these issues people are having. As for selecting a server, you can easily work around the pack in a faster and perhaps more efficient way.

Oh, gosh, just do not really uninstall the whole screen reader from your system. :-D That would of course be a disaster, just turn it off or put it to sleep before starting the game. Many applications, including games, of course, that use a complex input based on the arrow keys, interfere with the way Jaws processes the key presses on its own, so it has to be shut down or sleeping for the program to work properly.

Say you could leap onto a platform, leap onto one higher up and there'd be a new area to explore.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Online Trucking Sim
Hi Tiffany, wow, what an impressive start of your posting carrier. :-D This is a magnificent and cheerful description, perhaps you should just forward it directly to Ron Schammerhorn who is (or I believe he still is :-D) the editor of Audyssey to please include it in the next issue as a brief review of the game. I have been getting less and less time into my hands again, and I've never really been into multiplayer games of this nature (the only one I've ever tried was Travian, I enjoyed that a lot but I found that I was soon being crushed by the stronger players, as I simply wasn't able to be present in the game as often as the speed of the world development around me demanded), but this one game just deserves a go! Thanks for the great news! Lukas - Original Message - From: Tiffany J Kim [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 8:46 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Accessible Online Trucking Sim Hello, I thought I'd jump right in and start my posting career here by discussing an accessible trucking simulation that I found. It's much like Jim Kitchen's trucking sim, Trucker, except it is online and multiplayer in nature. It can be found at http://www.trukz.com. The object is to deliver different cargos to the cities that demand it on time. As you deliver your cargo in a timely manner without getting tickets or falling asleep at the wheel, your driver rating (DR) increases, allowing you to haul other cargo types (hazardous waste at 40 and nuclear waste at 50) and buy various endorsements to haul a larger load and make even more money. There are many different cargo types to choose from, examples being fruit, vegetables, groceries, and appliances. As you accumulate money, you are able to upgrade your truck and buy goodies such as new tires, extra fuel tanks, and radar detectors, which will enhance your gaming experience. I will cover some of the basics of this game, including registration and features. Registration: When you start out, you will fill ut a form with your driver name (equivalent to a username) and choose the continent where you would like to start. Currently, you can start in Australia, Europe, or North America. North America, by far, has the most companies (explained later), Europe's fuel prices are more expensive but there are many shorter routes (good to start with at the beginning), and Australia just got released a little less than a month ago and people seem to think it has the best contract routes. The site does require you to enter a Captcha but this is also available in audio form (and the voice is quite clear without any background noise or distortion.) Also, Firefox's Web Visim application can pick up this Captcha if you have difficulties with it. Starting Out: When you first start out, you are given $5,500. Depending on the continent you start out, you will have different trucks you can choose from. Of course, they won't be very good and are known as beaters. If you're lucky, you may find one that goes at around 53mph. The best thing to do here is to either join a company that offers the truck discount or take out a $1,000 loan at the bank (click on banking, then on request loan) and buy the 1989 Volvo. Depending on the time of day you join, you will inevitably be flooded with messages in your inbox to join up with a company. A company can best be described as a group of drivers working together. Advantages to companies may include 10% truck, item, fuel, and repair discounts, the abilitiy to run contracts, and at least one terminal that allows you to refuel and repair at a 25% discount without the expenditure of fatigue points (FP). These great benefits don't come free, however, as the company will take a collection from your driver's earnings. The lowest possible collection is 1%. If you decide to join a company, there are two camps of drivers: those that like small companies and those that prefer large ones. Small companies provide more one-on-one attention, mentorship, and camaraderie. My favorite small company is by far Everybody's Trucking Company, which is run by 2 old-timers in the game. They will take 1% collection and provide 20% repairs and fuel assistance, which I haven't yet found anywhere. This will last until you reach a driver rating of 10, when you will be able to get your first driver endorsement. Large companies can provide you with the ability to make more money on contract runs. Contract runs are specific requests by cities to haul a set amount of cargo to them within a week. It pays a base rate of $0.99 to $2 per mile and can earn you quite a sum. They can only be run by companies with at least 25 active drivers, however. The best large company I have found is Bulldog Trucking with around 60 drivers, lots of contract runs, and 4% collection with 50% repairs/20% fuel assistance.

Re: [Audyssey] NOP I did it!
Hi, well, I hope there is even gonna be a next release at all. Seems like the original chinese game has already been completed or perhaps even abandoned, and that Francis has just translated it into English now, well, that's just my impression... Yeah, I love these suggestions then, and I would also like the traps to be audible even when you are not in jumping range. Both traps and enemies can be seen if you look right in their direction but you don't always look around after every step and it slows down the game somewhat. So it would be great if enemies and traps were audible say up to 10 steps in advance. By the way, it would be nice to have a walk-through, or at least sort of a map file, describing the layout of the rooms and corridors, as the environment can get pretty complex and easy to lose your orientation, at least on the first go round. I have gotten to chapter 3 now, actually, I was there even yesterday but got lost and killed, so I made everything from the beginning today, and I got there in the best shape possible, with lots of medkits and ammo left. If noone else does it before I can, then I will write something up when I complete the game.

Re: [Audyssey] NOP I did it!
Yeah, cut scenes would add another level of enjoyment and would increase the game's overall immersiveness a lot! I am planning to replace some sounds with better or higher-quality ones and then I would perhaps release a mod, if the development of the game has already ceased. I would even record those cut scenes but that would require a programming change to implement them, although a quite simple one in my opinion: Just play a particular sound file before any events occur in the boss room, and possibly check if a certain key has been pressed, in which case terminate the sound file and go on. All objects making their sounds within a certain range, including perhaps enemy footsteps (but that would probably have to be a tough job to do) would definitely rock and is what I would ask for most importantly. More guns would also be fine but then there would have to be more levels or enemies to keep the game challenging to an extend. By the way, as soon as I defeat that black-cloth sucker, I shall complete my walk-through and make it available to the public. I seem to be stuck but I am not asking for hints yet, as this is the very first and also last part of the game that presents a problem to me.

Re: [Audyssey] Top Speed 2.1 suggestions/ideas.
Hi, the only hint I can give here is probably to compare and try many times before you can get a feel for it. For example, if you take the cranked up quatro which is the fastest of the official game vehicles, or at least used to be before v2.1, then its top speed is somewhere around 32000, I believe. I used to know the exact number as it has been said somewhere. So it always helps me to compare the top speed with this value in my head when thinking about the design of a vehicle. As for tracks, the shortest possible length of a section, which is 5000 units, is so short that when you drive the quatro at full speed, the co pilot is unable to finish announcing an easy left turn that is 5000 units long, for example, before an easy right turn of the same length comes, etc. It's just all a matter of experimenting. How tough a curve is also depends on its length, not just the steepness itself. You could easily steer a hard or even a hairpin turn if it was short enough and you drove towards the edge of the track before the actual curve started, so that your car at full speed had enough room inside the curve to go through it safely without crashing. Doing that often, along with memorisation of the track, is the only possible way to have a really good time in a technically challenging and realistic race on a hard track without non-stop crashing. :-) Hope this helps a bit.

Hi, yeah, this is a point here. It depends on personal approach. You feel that the computer should be able to beat you even with your custom vehicle, I feel that even the quatro is a bit too slow for some tracks. If you want to beat your own times and records and have a technical challenge, trying to drive as fast as you can without crashing even with a very strong car on a very tight track such as Raly through the desert or the Two Towns Trip, you need something faster. I think Corola is still ok, the developers even consideret putting it into the game as an official vehicle when there was the contest for custom cars. I don't really mind the top speed of a car if it's not too much over 3 (it's non-sense to go any higher, in my opinion), but the car has to be ballanced otherwise - acceleration, deceleration, steering... After all, it's just up to everyone what they like and expect from the game. I feel that most of the tracks out there are a bit simple for me with the quatro, even at top speed where possible, so I have made the faster vehicles, such as the Corola, Flameblaster or Harley Davidson, which, I admit, is probably too unrealistic. The rest of the usable vehicles seems just a bit too slow, and the computer ain't a very skilled opponent, anyway. :-) That's just my opinions. These are my reasons why I would welcome the ability to race on multiplayer even with custom cars sooo much, as the quatro simply isn't absolutely enough for me. :-D By the way, if you want a real challenge, try the Corola in the desert and try to make a time under 4 minutes and 54 seconds. Of course, without crashing. :-) Lukas - Original Message - From: Dakotah Rickard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2008 3:51 AM Subject: [Audyssey] User-Created Top Speed Cars. i'm going to begin this thread with a brief apology. I mean absolutely no offense by some criticisms I'm going to end up making. I know that some of my cars have bombed, too. Also, if the developers see me making a mistake, please correct me. I'm doing math based on e-mails we sent back and forth about two years ago. I'm sure I'm misremembering something. A bit of background: If I remember right, the speeds of the car in units are however many units it travels in a second. Also, if I remember right, each track unit of length is about a half a centimeter. Therefore, a car that has a top speed of 26000, which I think is the speed of the Cuatro, moves 26000 times .5 centimeters a second, which is 468 kilometers an hour, which is about 291 miles per hour. I'm not entirely sure that my info's right, but we'll see, I guess. The comments I'm going to make won't really be affected if I'm wrong. Now that that's all done, I'm not going to go through every car or track and say what I do and don't like, because I haven't played all of them, and because that would take too long anyway. I will, however, make some general comments. The Cuatro is very, very fast. There have been cars that go faster, but they're very rare. I've seen many cars that have a top speed of above this level amongst the user-created vehicles. The Toyota Corola has a top speed of about 28000. This in combination with the fact that it stears well and accelerates fast means that no computer car could beat you under any circumstances unless you crashed. That, in my opinion, is the mark of a bad car, one in which the computer could not beat you. This doesn't, obviously, apply to fun cars like the Road Ripper, F18 Fighter, Light Speeder, Hover Demon etc. Other than it's high top speed, the Corola is a good car. If the Top Speed was reduced to, say, between 19000 and 22000, it would make sense. Top speed of a car isn't the only problem I see. People give their cars rediculus acceleration and deceleration values as well. A car should not be able to jump from 0 to top speed in like a second and a half. That just doesn't happen. That's one awesome thing about the light speeder. It is extremely fast, but you have to have patience to get it there. Many cars just jump to ludicrous speed and forget realism. Then, people give the car this rediculusly high stearing number. I don't know what standard is, but I'll use the Street racer for a measuring stick. It's stearing is at 215. I've seen cars up to 300 something, down to 50 something. Too much stearing means that you tap the arow or whatever and you go insanely off course. Too little means nothing happens. THen, there's stearingFactor. That measurement is the percentage that your car's stearing degrades at high speed. The Street Racer's is at 93. That means that it's 93% as effective at high speed as at low speed, if I remember correctly. I've never heard of a car that goes fast and has perfect stearing at that high speed, therefore I question those cars with StearingFactors of 100. My basic point throughout this message is this: look at cars
Re: [Audyssey] Night of parasites
My best tip is to bepatient, read the documentation (the controls are a bit unusual but not difficult when you get used to them after a while, and the concept of the game itself is nothing difficult to learn but can be a little pain to master) and try to get around on your own at first. If you get lost or are not certain about something, then feel free to ask for directions. :-) Lukas - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2008 3:55 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Night of parasites Hi folks, I am going to download night of parasites later on today.

Hi, the streetracer was also cool, I was surprised to not find it in the new version. :-) I don't want to sound like I am standing just behind myself but ... I love the Corola. :-D I haven't seen perhaps any other vehicle that I would like as much. Well, perhaps the Flameblaster, trying to be fair to the other cars as well, but that one is just really for tough neck-breaking competitions against your own times, or on multiplayer, the computer doesn't stand a chance against it if you are able to maneuver it properly without crashing.

Re: [Audyssey] Top Speed 2.1 suggestions/ideas.
Hi, my sincere apology. I messed the top speed of the Quatro, of course. Now that Dakotah reminded me of it, I realize clearly that the value should have been 26000. I have probably misplaced the number with the top speed of the Flame blaster, which is the fastest of my cars, and the fastest I am ever willing to make for the purposes of realism, as I don't remember the official vehicle parameters (although I had seen them once) any more. Well, actually, the Flameblaster's top speed is 32500 if memory serves, and the Harley Davidson I also made has a top speed of 33000, but that's already too much, even for a motorcycle. Well, at least it's not that easy to maneuver it, as I imagine a motorbike must be when driving quickly. Lukas - Original Message - From: Lukás Hosnedl [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2008 10:32 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Top Speed 2.1 suggestions/ideas. Hi, the only hint I can give here is probably to compare and try many times before you can get a feel for it. For example, if you take the cranked up quatro which is the fastest of the official game vehicles, or at least used to be before v2.1, then its top speed is somewhere around 32000, I believe. I used to know the exact number as it has been said somewhere. So it always helps me to compare the top speed with this value in my head when thinking about the design of a vehicle. As for tracks, the shortest possible length of a section, which is 5000 units, is so short that when you drive the quatro at full speed, the co pilot is unable to finish announcing an easy left turn that is 5000 units long, for example, before an easy right turn of the same length comes, etc. It's just all a matter of experimenting. How tough a curve is also depends on its length, not just the steepness itself. You could easily steer a hard or even a hairpin turn if it was short enough and you drove towards the edge of the track before the actual curve started, so that your car at full speed had enough room inside the curve to go through it safely without crashing. Doing that often, along with memorisation of the track, is the only possible way to have a really good time in a technically challenging and realistic race on a hard track without non-stop crashing. :-) Hope this helps a bit.

Re: [Audyssey] User-Created Top Speed Cars.
Yeah, of course, if you know the real Corola, then it must be a weird experience for you. :-D Of course, I haven't seen neither a Corola or a Harley Davidson, so I just chose a well sounding name for the vehicle. :-D By the way, it seems as if there are two harleys and that you have remade the other one. My Harley has the description file for the menu recorded with Eloquence for Jaws. Also, I rather like the quatro's acceleration rather than not: If a car is that fast and steers and brakes quite well, then it's probably quite heavy, thus needs some time to reach such high speeds. :-) I have no problem with criticism, as long as it's constructive and brings an interesting point for consideration, which your remarks do. It's fine to have a reasonable exchange of opinions that both sides might possibly gain something from. :-) Lukas - Original Message - From: Dakotah Rickard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2008 6:56 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] User-Created Top Speed Cars.

It's just that my wife owns a Corola, and I can't imagine it going that fast, accelerating that quickly, or turning that well at top speed. Granted, it's your car, not mine. I like the car a lot..

Re: [Audyssey] NOP boss in lab
Hi, h i n t Most importantly, make the medicine the first item in your supply column, or maybe put two or three of them right under each other. If the items in a column are mixed up in an inconvenient order, you can rearrange their position by dropping something and picking it up again in the order you want. What you pick up most recently is added to the top of the column. Then, you can just press c to use your top most supply right in the middle of a battle, even without having to have the supply column or the particular supply actually selected. possible s p o i l e r I am unable to give you exact directions, as I have played that chapter only once as of yet and I managed to get the boss on the very first run without proper thinking. Just make sure that you fight the bosses with the revolver. In fact, I didn'T even have to use a medicine during the fight itself, if memory serves, I just restored my full hp before I entered that room. There are different volumes of the alarm telling you that you are near an enemy. Make sure that the sound does not play from the left or right side and that you have gotten it as loud as possible by walking towards it before you start firing. Many enemies stand behind barriers and shoot at you from behind them, making them possibly tough to find. Make sure that you hear the enemy hit sound after you fire your shot. You can listen to the exact sound in the sounds test. Hope this helps at least a bit.

Re: [Audyssey] Top Speed 2 multiplayer troubleshooting
Hi Dakotah, strange issues here, I won't probably be much of a help, but I'll try it anyway. :-) I have never had any problems when I connected to a working server as a client, although I am behind a router as well, so that should not be the issue. If there was ever a problem, it always proved to be on the server side, this is how things turned for me. When I wanted to host my own games, I had to do exactly what you described: Forward the appropriate port (or set it as a virtual server, depends how each individual router calls the same thing) both for TCP and UDP. For this to work, make sure that you have a static ip address set for your lan adapter, and that the virtual server or port forwarding is linked to that very address, that should make sense. Also, an active firewall built into the router itself or a similar functionality of the router could be blocking the transmission, every router is different and I am not really a net admin or so at all. I just managed to set several virtual servers for several different ports on my router, that's all. I did this the very day Top Speed 2.0 was released, and have done it for other multiplayer audiogames as well, such as Audioquake or Soundrts, and have never had a single problem with this particular business.

Hi Dakotah, that I do absolutely agree with!

Re: [Audyssey] Top Speed 2.1 suggestions/ideas.
Hi, at first, when the whole thing was launched, supporting custom creations, and the user-created stuff boom began, we have uploaded everything to the PITD community site, which now seems to be down. Then, everything was being hosted on DJC's Top Speed ftp server, which is as well up no more. Therefore, they are now hosted on X-sight-interactive's server directly, I was able to download them successfully with their TS2 utility pack when 2.1 RC1 was released. If you have problems installing the pack, try visiting http://www.xzip.com (I believe), maybe the last domain should be org, googling should help) and install it, then try installing the pack itself again. If it doesn't work, I can always send my creations directly to you.

Re: [Audyssey] top speed rc2
Hi, this inaccurate description seems to be refering to a new physics model in Top Speed 2.1 rather than a mistake. If your car reaches higher speeds, you will notice that you cannot accelerate and that your speed is actually even decreased slightly when steering. This is much more realistic than in previous versions. If the speed was decreased a great deal, or if you had to steer a sharp curve in the middle of accelerating to a higher gear, the engine of your car might just not have enough power to maintain the acceleration again. You will have to shift down a gear to accelerate again.

Lots of stuff. :-) Shades of Doom from www.gmagames.com, they also have GMA Tank Commander, Lone Wolf and Trek 2000 but these are rather simulation games, so you will be killing as well but it's much harder to learn to play these games and killing is not the main concept here. Then you could play some space invaders like arcade stuff: Troopanum 2 from www.bscgames.com, Alien OUtback, should be up at www.draconisentertainment.com. Audioquake is quite complex to learn for someone who has no experience with games of this kind but can be downloaded from http://agrip.org.uk, along with links to some mods (sounds that make it look like an all new game). There ought to be some ohter first person shooters out there, but they ain't either as high-quality and nice-sounding audiogames like I am used to, or they just didn't occur to me off the top of my head.

I wasn't able to try it myself being totally without a copy of halflife 2, but I do know someone visually impared who does. he said it was a fun play, but several factors also made it more complex, such as the fact that instead of walls to the playing area, you can just endlessly walk in one direction. Also, while it's a great idea and advert for audio games, the problem was the developer had to specifically create and place all of the sound objects and sources in the Mod, for the mod. Many objects in the actual halflife 2 game do not unfortunately have properties which could be modified to have them create sound, or have the player have tools such as a sonar. All navigation in the Mod is done by specifically placed sound objects, and according to my friend who tried the game (who also has played shades of doom), the spacing and audio navigation wasn't half as smooth as in shades. so, a fun game, and a great way to get people interested in audio games, but sadly not an accessible halflife 2, - though the developer did say he was interested in perhaps making more audio games, maybe something actually programmed by himself, so it's not all doom and gloom.
