Hello.
It's nearly a year since Thomas lost is battle with cancer and I've
been thinking back at how great he made this list.  Thomas and I

Re: [Audyssey] Alteraeon Kinzhay quest

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,
yep. that is the right shop. but won't do you any good to go there till the 
mage in the fire plane says to do so. According to the quest line you have 
to kill the rebel leader first before the mage will tell you to go to gads.

I think you need to head to gads and head north to the 4 way stop just 
before the mage school trainer and then head east 2 times and then north I 
believe.  there is a shop keeper that you talk to and I believe he gives you 
the tracer crystals.  then you head back to the fire world, give the tracer 
to the gate keeper and he takes one and you get the other.  then you have to 
hike back to the village on the fire world and give the crystal you still 
have to the black robed mage in the north most  hut and you have completed 
the quest, unless the admins have altered the quest since I last did it.

  completed this quest or are trying to do it in the wrong order" when I

  I think there's a problem in that quest somewhere since I have no idea who

Re: [Audyssey] Alteraeon Kinzhay quest

[Richard Sherman]

HI,
ok. just finished it.

1. as you enter talk to mage.

2. he send you to find the team. when you talk to the mage in the camp he 
says he needs another tracer and has a problem with rebels. If you look at 
the short it says to kill rebel leader. so go kill him.

3. after you kill him it says to go and talk to mage at gate.

4. talk to mage at gate. he sends you to gads for another crystal.

5. go to gads and get crystal. then return to mage on fire plane.

6. he gives you a tracer you have to bring to the mage in the camp.

when you give the new tracer to the mage in the camp the quest is done.

hope this helps.

Hi Richard.

If there is a clue about kinzhay I must be very dense, since the researcher
said there were two problems, the loss of the crystal and the rebels, so I
assumed to deal with the crystal first as I hadn't been told to go and kill
the rebels.

There isn't really an indication of which first, but I suppose I can go
massacre the rebels and see if that helps since they manifestly don't want
the crystal.

All the best,

Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] Alteraeon Kinzhay quest

[Richard Sherman]

HI,
been a while since I did the fire world quest, so here goes. first ya talk 
to the man by the portal as you enter. Then find the tea. I think he asks 
for a new one. go back to mage and he sends ya to gads for another one. 
return that one to the leader of the research team. some where in there he 
tells ya to go kill the rebel leader.

as for Asryth. There is basically 2 areas to that one area there. The main 
level has 2 fame I believe and no quests or deeds for them. Not all fame has 
a deed related to it. But the fruit deed you did introduced you to the area. 
in a back hallway is a down exit and some jail cells. explore if you want. 
go down one more level and there are 2 sarcophagus to get some gold out of. 
go down one more and your in the catacombs of asryth. Believe this area is 
instanced so take your time and explore a bit. There is about 4 fame and one 
deed in this area. As you go north in one spot after going down a level or 2 
you run into a single mob before a down exit. his name is fil. talk to him 
and get quest.

Good luck with those. And if ya need help in game look me up for answers.

Also it doesn't matter your level. the minimum you will ever get for a deed 
is cap. so running those low level deeds is good. and also note that a few 
areas in and around gads is being reworked so a few of  the quest line in 
and around gads is broken for the time being.

and just in case you, or anyone didn't know this. but if your a mush z user 
you can type qt, and the island name to see what quests need to be done on 
those areas. so type qt sloe, qt kordan, or qt archais to see what deeds are 
left to do. if your not a mush z user then type quest sloe|grep TODO (note 
the todo is all  in caps) to see what is to be done on sloe. change out sloe 
for the other islands to see a list of to do quests.

Hi.

I decided I needed a break from the undead drow city so went off to do some 
other quests.
First up is the fire world of Kinzhay and the quest to find a lost research 
team, however I'm running into a rather odd problem.

The black mage in the village told me that the research team was stuck 
because the rebellion was blocking the way, and because they didn't have a 
new tracer crystal to get back.

So, first I recalled to the gate keeper to ask about a new tracer crystal.
He however is giving me the self same speech he gave first  time around, 
that the research mission is missing, though oddly enough he's saying he'll 
replace my tracer crystal if I give him 250 gold, which is rather odd since 
he hasn't given me the first one yet.
Someone on the questinfo channel did say I had to go and talk to a mage in 
gad's but that just seems weerd when I'd not been told to by the research 
party, particularly since it would be easier to get the crystal from the 
gate keeper.

I also have one unrelated question about azeroth keep.

i went in there and did the fruit negotiation quest, however that barely 
scratched the surface. "where fame" tells me there are things in there to 
slay, but it seems odd there are no deeds at least involving them.
Any chance an extra deed could be added? I'm not above going in there just 
to explore and get monsters, but I do like getting all the achievements, 
indeed I'll probably head back to kordan just to do the newly added quest 
even though it's way below my level at this point and I won't get much 
for it, since I like completing all the quests.

All the best,

Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways 2 help

[Richard Sherman]

HI,
couple things about castaways 2.

1. Its still in beta as far as I know.

2. the online development was done to a greater degree than single player 
mode. so not all the kinks worked out for single player.

There is a couple things you can do:

1. reload the game. the map is random each time so look at the terrain 
before you start building.

2. There are a couple cheat codes you can enter to gain a few things, money, 
branches, stones to name a few. Think those codes are some where in a read 
me file.

As for extra goods not showing up, that's highly possible

I try to get the gold mined as quickly as possible while getting my

Peasants fighting does not work.

Then start searching if you can. find the gold mines and get as much as you

they do.

If your people get hurt heal them. easier to heal then to create new ones.

I strongly doubt they can do anything on their end since the problem

conclude it is not Audiogames.net. It sounds to me something is wrong

Using firefox version 22 on a windows 7 ultimate machine and jaws 13.

However I do believe this started before updating to version 22. I think i

for about a month now I have not been able to access any part of

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /listgames.php on this server.

I have tried typing it it manually or going thru a google search with no 
luck. Ran clean up to remove all temp files and still no go.

Strange thing is that IE 9 will bring up the site with no problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

HI,

The first thing you can try is to run the bat file as administrator. Right 
click on it and select run as administrator.

If that does not work. Then read the readme file and it will explain step by 
step how to manually do what the bat file was supposed to do.

Give that a try. If it still fails write back or drop Aprone a message

Re: [Audyssey] Help with the Haunted Hills?

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Seems to me that in one of the 3 mounds with  a stone in it lies your 
answer. Two of the mounds are small, 1 is a bit larger. Search around in 
there and you will find a wall or a stairwell with a hole next to it. Go in 
the hole and you will know what to do next.

Good luck.

ps. While in the hills, be sure to get the pelt and hair of the white wolf. 
Take the pelt back to peg and the fur to the alchemist to complete 2 other 
quests.

later tater.

Re: [Audyssey] Help with the Haunted Hills?

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

This game is a MUD. Which means you use a mud client to connect to the web 
to play it. It is all text based.

For this specific mud, you can check it out at

http://www.alteraeon.com

What is nice about this mud is that there is a great sound pack for it to 
make it more exciting and entertaining than most.

Hope to see you there.

Re: [Audyssey] The missing needle

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

I don't believe there was an answer posted about this.

The hidden gardens are north west of Vermarken. A bit north of the hay 
stacks. Only 1 way in an and out of the gardens. Easy to find. A little hint 
here. There are 2 parts to the garden. Search both for all the things you 
need to complete the quest.

One other thing to note here. There is a quest in the area of the haystacks. 
Talk to someone near the hay for it.

Three in game commands that may help just in case you did not know about 
them.

The first command is nearby. This will tell you where some things are. Keep 
in mind it is as the crow flies, not a direct route. But use it to navigate 
to the area you seek.

Two is the command quest nearby. this way you can determine if any quests 
are in the area you are currently in. Not all quests are where you talk to 
someone and then get a quest. Sometimes it is you do something first and 
then talk to a person to get credit for it.

the third one is also a quest command. But you would type in quest slow. 
What this does it to give you a list of all the quests on the island of slow 
and whether or not you did them or not. Helps you keep track of which ones 
need to be done.

For more info on the quest command, type in help quest in the game. The help 
system in the game is exemplary.

Hope this info helps.

my name in both swamp and alter is Shermanator. Look me up if you need help.

Re: [Audyssey] Help in the ruins.

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

You probably already figured this out, but just in case.

What to do in those 3 last rooms depends on what quest you are doing. If it 
is the evil side just Kill the guy you find in the spider chamber. Get his 
head and take it to the chief.

If it is the good one and you need the teddy bear, also just follow what it 
says. Kill the chief, collect the bear, and return it to the girl.

Also just in case you did not know. use the quest extra # command. The # is 
the number of the specific quest you need to review again. it will tell you 
everything about the quest so you can listen to it again to refresh  your 
memory on what you did or need to do.

Again, if you need any further help, do not forget about the help system in 
the game. Also there is the newbie channel you can post questions to in the 
game for assistance.

HTH. Good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] newbee ox?

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

I see you already got an answer to this.

I do have 2 suggestions:

1. Use the help system in the game. Dennis has put a lot of time into it and 
it is well worth it. I commend him on an excellent help system. Just type in 
help, a space, and what you want help with.

2. use the newbie channel. It is there so you might as well use it. Just 
type in newbie first, a space, and then ask your question. Many helpful 
people there. Who knows. You might even get a god to answer you.

My reason for posting this is to help you get an answer as quicly as 
possible. Since the help system is so good, and you are right there, you 
just might get an answer much faster than posting it here.

If all else fails, ask here or join the alter group. That group is thru 
Google. The subcription address is

alteraeon+subscr...@googlegroups.com.

Good luck. HTH.

Re: [Audyssey] Getting the key to the lockbox?

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,

many times in a room, there are multiple items red off to you. This is one 
such place. In that room are multiple piles of trash. So to look at pile 2, 
you would type in l 2.pile, and so on. what you seek is under one of those 
piles.

One thing I have learned is that 99% of the time, what the game tells you, 
it is because it is relevant to to the game. So you have to listen carefully 
to what is said. many times it takes a look, a search, a push, a move, and 
then you get your answer. So don't give up. That is the fun of the 
exploration.

BTW, I never stole the money. I gave the priest the key. And it took me a 
while to find the shrew and find the key. perseverance will pay off

Good luck. HTH.

Re: [Audyssey] Getting the key to the lockbox?

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,

congrats.

As for the dragon, I have a suggestion. Group with someone who also has to 
do the quest. Since there is nothing to get but kill the lady, all the 
members of the group get credit for the kill. Plus groups tend to get more 
exp and then you don't have to go it alone. A win win situation.

If the quest is something you need to collect to prove your quest. Tag with 
someone,, complete it once, then go back later after it repops. Quest should 
be easier the second time so it should go faster. Then you know what you 
need to do or not do. Again, a win win situation.

Good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] Help starting a couple quests.

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

One thing that might help is to check out the web at

http://alteraeon.com:8080/quests

This might give you some info on quests.

The 2 quests are:

1. The kitten. It is being held by a character named Roy. He is hidden so 
you will have to search for him.

2. The lost boy. The boy will find you, or you will find him. Once he starts 
to follow you, find his mother. When he walks in the room you will know it.

I have put spoilers below to further explain how the quests go if you should 
wish to know.

One nice thing about that town is if you have the lock pick skill. Use it 
lots there to improve it since most of the doors there are locked.

good luck.

Shermanator

Spoiler space ahead. Spoiler space ahead. Alert! Alert!

Now that the formalities are over with. Proceed at your own risk.

For the kitten quest with Roy. He is just inside the entrance at the north 
side of the town. just north of the docks. When you find him, just type in 
Oz kit. If you are good, the cat will be set free. If you are evil, you will 
bite the head off.

The lost Childs mother is up the hill to the west. Walk in and it should say 
a mother with her kids. The house has a door broken that cannot be shut.

Re: [Audyssey] enabling output window in mush z

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Great suggestion. So I did look in the output_functions.xml file. It does 
appear that in there you can change the keys to enable, or toggle, the 
output window.

Also looked around at some of the other xml files in there. One of the files 
in the plug in folder was CaptureMudOutput.xml. This was written by Shawn 
Randall. It says that if you type in 'cmo', in lower case and no quotes or 
anything it will also enable a output window. So I tested it and it works 
just fine. One thing I did notice is that when you exit and come back you 
have to re-enable the output window. So another great work around.

thanks.

output window, though I can't tell you how at the moment. You'd
have to look in the output_functions.xml file.

Re: [Audyssey] enabling output window in mush z

Hi Dark,

In my case, I can turn the output window on and off using control alt O. So 
I went into mush z and poked around even more than before asking my

Here is what I have under the window menu without the output window enabled:

New Window
Cascade
Tile Horizontally
Tile Vertically
Arrange Icons
Minimize Shift+Ctrl+M
Close All Notepad Windows
Maximize
Restore
1 alter

When I enable the output window it has a 2 output  listed. But under no menu 
option that I can find is to enable the output window. If i select new 
window it just makes another copy of the alter window.

Anyone else got any suggestions?

Hi,

Hope you can help.

Using the latest build of mush z. Those who use it know that you can press 
control alt O to enable the output window.

I have a friend who has control alt O set to open another program. Either he

Is there a way to enable that window without pressing control alt O?

Re: [Audyssey] Error when trying to launch entombed.

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Strangely enough, someone on the entombed mailing list is havign possibly 
the same problem. So I have pasted the solution below:

You're likely missing the SQL Compact 3.5 SP2. First, you have to uninstall
the version that 1.02x installed, likely SQL Compact 3.5 SP1. Then you have
to download the newer version from Microsoft and install the items
appropriate for your system. The link to the self-extracting archive for SQL
Compact 3.5 SP2 is located at:

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5783

Run this exe and have it extract to some place where you'll be able to find
it easily, because that's the next step to browse to the location you just
extracted to. You'll notice there's three files, install.txt,
SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.msi, and SSCERuntime_x64-ENU.msi. Depending upon whether
you have a 32-bit version of Windows or 64-bit, the install procedure is a
bit different. If you have a 32-bit Windows, then just run
SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.msi. If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you must
run SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.msi first, then SSCERuntime_x64-ENU.msi. These same
instructions are found in the install.txt file.

If you're not sure whether your Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit, there's a
couple easy ways of finding out. Bring up Windows Explorer to show the list
of files and folders on your computer's c: drive, which is where most people
install Windows. If you have both a program files and a program files (X86)
folder, you have 64-bit Windows. Also check your Windows folder, if you have
a syswow64 subfolder, then you also have a 64-bit version of Windows.
Otherwise, if you only have the one program files folder and no syswow64,
you're running 32-bit Windows.

Once you've installed the SQL Compact 3.5 SP2, try running Entombed 1.05b
again, and let us know if you have any more problems. hth

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp Problem

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

then drop Aprone a direct message. include any user and relevant info you 
think he might tneed.

Be patient. He works so it might not be resolved until tomorrow.

BTW, were you trying to create a new user or sign into an old one. If an old 
one, after about a month it might have been deleted. Be sure to give as 
detailed info as you can so Aprone can resolve your situation as best as 
possible.

Good luck.

I checked the version, it is 2.8

 Hi,

 The current released version is 2.8. The test version is 2.9. so check to 
 see what version you are currently running. If you just download swamp 
 from the site, then more likely it is version 2.8. you have to 
 specifically download a separate zipped file and install it to be running 
 2.9 on the test version.

Re: [Audyssey] Mush z and runtime errors

[Richard Sherman]

Hello Oriol,

Thanks. And thank you for working on this. I am sure that everyone who uses 
mush z appreciates your time and work for bringing us a great product.

In the future, where is the best place to post error, bugs, and run time 
problems? Should we post to the list or send them directly to you?

Thanks again.

Hi,
This exit error seems to be somehow related to the new room code
additions... I will try and fix this today. I haven't had much time to
work on mush-z lately.. sorry.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator Important Message for the List

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Thanks for the clarifications Thom.

One other thing that list members can do is to send messsages as plain text. 
For the most part plain text is sufficient. Sending as plain text decreases 
the size of each message by a lot. Of course it is better to send links and 
such as html.

HTH.

Hi Shaun,

No, there is no way to automatically split or trim a message to the
write length that I am aware of. To trim a message I just scroll down
a few lines, to the end of the post I am replying to, and do a
shift-control-end to select everything to the end of the message, and
press delete.

For example, since I am only responding to you I went down a few lines
to the beginning of Charles's post, and selected everything to the end
of the message and then deleted it. Now, all we have is roughly a page
or so of text containing your message and my reply to it. If everyone
did that most messages would probably be 5 KB or so at most, because
there would not be these huge messages containing reply after reply in
them.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Mush z and runtime errors

HI,

Luckily none of the errors seem to cause any major problems. The last 3 were 
on the quest in the mayors mansion. I was able to complete it and then 
exited to reset everything. That is the only time I have gotten multiple

That last one is really nasty. The first two are happening
because it's trying to tell you you picked up money when you

[Audyssey] using mush z with alter aeon

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,

So a friend and I decided to try alter. We are both running win 7 and the 
latest version of mush z. He is using window eyes and NVDA. I have NVDA 
also, but prefer to use jaws. His system is 64 bit, mine is 32.

So we got thru the log in screen, but had to use the jaws cursor, or 
equivalent, to navigate it. While in the game. there too we had to use the 
jaws cursor, or equivalent, to read the output of the game. Plus no sounds 
played at any time.

When we logged in the first time, we answered yes to the questions of are 
you blind and would you like to enable blind mode. And we are using port 
3010.

We both got to the camp at the beginning and stopped there.

So why did we have no sounds?

Is the game not supposed to read the output of the text automatically?

Is there any setting for the screen readers to perform better?

So far, so good. But was hoping to fix these minor issues.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure why your sounds and speech weren't working by
default, but they should be. With mushz loaded, type: tts to
enable speech, you should here tts on. Then, press control f12,
to enable sounds. You should here a beep, and sounds on.

Re: [Audyssey] using mush z with alter aeon

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,

Turns out I needed to add the mushreader.xml file in the plug ins. Then I 
had created my own mcl file. Once I used the alteraeon.mcl file, the sounds 
started to play. Works just fine now.

Thanks for the assistance.


BTW, for anyone who is going to start playing. Read the readme file on the 
main mush z home page. If I had paid attention the first time I skimmed thru 
it, I would have not needed to ask my original question since the answers 
were right there. Boy do I feel silly for even asking. So save your self and 
read the readme file as you go.

Good luck. See you in the game.

You should be able to type tts at any point, if that does nothing
you need to instal the mush reader.xml plugin. Control f12 is
either in lua audio, or intrinsic to mushclient itself, I'm not
sure. If you can send me a list of the plugisn you have
installed, I can let you know if there are any differences I
notice.

[Audyssey] help with alter aeon

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,

Wondering a few things:

1. Walked around the camp and found the dump. Wanted to pick up a pair of 
boots. In this case, there was I think 4 different pair of boots lying on 
the ground. When I use the command take boots, or get boots, it picks up the 
pair I didn't want. If I type in take studded boots, it doesn't seem to work 
like it should.

In this case, how is the best way to pick up something that has multiple 
like items you can grab?

2. How does one view, or review, what clothing, armor, or weapon one is 
holding or wearing? I can take it off but that seems a long way to do it.

3. Got 3 rings. Two appear to be very similar. I tried using the compare 
command. But how do I compare properly? For instance, I had the 2 similar 
rings on and it would only compare those 2 rings. I took one off and tried 
again but it still compared those 2 rings and not the third ring.

4. How does one communicate with other players? Will double check readme, 
but don't remember seeing it. Only how to change channels.

5. Will the game automatically equip me with the best stuff I am holding? 
For instance, let's say I have 2 pair of boots in my inventory. If I say 
wear boots, will it put on the best one's for me.

Thanks for your patience and assistance.

Re: [Audyssey] huge Swamp bug.

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Aprone would be the firsts one to apologize for the readme file for not 
being up to date. Instead of updating it all the time, he put notes in the 
change log text file. In there will be notes on when he added those keys in. 
Give it a good read. Some interesting items in there you might not know.

As far as configuration files. The progress.ini file file includes such info 
as your name and password, what screen reader you have it set to, and 
whether you agreed to the user agreement. This file should not be modified. 
If you try you may break the game, or worse get caught for cheating and 
therefore get banned. Not a good thing.

the keyconfig.ini file is what keeps track of what key does what. Open it in 
notepad and give it a look. There you can change any key to another, but 
never change the order of the items in the list. Otherwise it won't work 
properly.

As already mentioned, there are 3 keys for footsteps. One for yours, one for 
other players, and one for zombies. Simon said he has his set to 140%. I 
suggest you do not do that because then you will think they are closer than 
they are and you will waste ammo . I only increase zombie footsteps for 
shooting at them long range, and then put it back to 100%. The higher the 
percentage the louder it should be. Press shift and the same key to lower 
it. Just a suggestion.

I have a really nice modified keyconfig.ini file if anyone  wants it.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13968355/keyconfig.zip

The file is really not zipped. just remove the zip off the end and put in 
.ini instead.

What is nice about it is I have moved all beacons to the F keys. And most 
others do not require the shift or control key

If you need help, look me up in the game. Always glad to help. You can also 
drop me a line if you need help.

Also there is the audio games thread on swamp:

http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?id=6341p=277

This is the last page of the thread. You can get help there or follow what 
is going on.

Later tater.

Hello,
First I'd like to point out that I'm a totally new player as of today. SO
perhaps this bug has been mentioned previously. Basically I found some keys
not mentioned in the documentation. They allow you to raise and lower player
footstep volume, as well as zombies volume level. The problem is when I try
messing around with player footstep volume, all movement sound is completely
stopped. In fact, I'm not even sure if I'm moving. Has anyone experienced
this? I haven't played multiplayer btw, only default offline map. Only way
to fix this issue appears to be to remove my config file, which won't be fun
once I get into missions. lol

Hi Curt,

I took the old beta down primarily because I have been hoping to release a 
new version for the last few months but due to health issues, technical 
issues, and simply a lack of time I haven't managed to get the new beta 
completed and ready for download. If there is enough demand for it I can put 
the old beta back up, but I really don't want to do that because I don't 
want to get bug reports and suggestions based on a version more than a year 
out of date. :D

HI,

I just checked. I have 1 piece of paper. When I hit enter on it, it will 
speak something I cannot understand. I believe it is not in English. Luckily 
I have found the answer in the audio games forum.

clement, is it possible you could repost the mp3 file you did about a week 
ago demonstrating this game.

Thanks.

Not quite sure where you are... 6-2 or 6-3? If it's 6-3, you'll have a piece
of paper in your collection items... look on that piece of paper, and it'll
give you the hint you need.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp and road to rage dropbox

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Here is the situation with drop box and the road to rage folder.

About a month or so ago, there was a couple of files added to the road to 
rage folder. They talked about how the rtr folder was going away. the files 
and such would be taken to a proper forum and out of drop box. One of the 
files gave the URL for everything. Unfortunately I do not have the URL.

So after reading your message, I checked. I too was sharing that folder. And 
it too is gone from my drop box.

so you weren't hacked. The owner of that folder warned everyone it was going 
away, and it did.

If I find the URL for where everything got moved to, I will post it. 
Hopefully some one else has it and can post it.

HTH.

Hi.
I need to get in touch with jake grisham from the audiogames forums.
On my dropbox it was reported to me that the rtr and swamp map
folders were gone.
And in fact when I booted dropbox up, both folders removed themselves.
No reason why I was kicked/ banned/ left though.
as far as I know I have not posted anything untoward  and nothing has
appeared in email spam or anything, I have not checked what I sent
yesterday, but I need ot know what happened to the folders if they just 
went.
I have all the maps and to be honest I don't really play them at all
that much but I was just wandering.
My reason is this.
someone from an rr.com server and the us tried to hack my gmail yesterday.
He didn't get in, and probably didn't get passed my password which I
have now changed.
yet gmail warned me about the potentual hack.
As far as I know  no viruses are on my system nore has anything
changed in email, dropbox or other things.
I am wandering what has happened.
And am slightly miffed that I was just kicked for no reason.
If I have done something please tell me because its not showing up here.
If someone just kicked me because they will be flamed and I don't
care how or where I do it or I get banned from all lists either.
I doubt it was malicious  and am going to check my outgoing to make
sure I am not comprimised but still.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp server down.

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Currently, the main server is  running version 2.8. There is a test server 
running version 2.9. Anything you do on one does not reflect on the other. 
But when it is all said and done, the test server and everything will go 
way. The test server is just that,for testing new things and ideas for the 
next version. So what you do on 2.8 is what counts and may or may not carry 
forward to the next version.

As for weather causing the servers to be down I don't think so. NO bad 
weather that I know about in his area. Plus his skype is still up. So me 
thinks he is doing some major rewriting or something that required him to 
bring the servers down.

I can wait.

The link for version 1.05 is

Your normal login information does not change. So use what you did before.

As Thomas mentioned, the version on the link he gave is 1.02. And the latest 
build of that was 1.02K. Grab the one on the site that says version I, which 
is actually version J. Then grab the patch to upgrade to version K.

The version 1.05 has a few bug fixes in it, but has a slight difficulty 
installing on windows 7. If you encounter those, just write back for help.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,

I noticed by your 2nd message you are say you are using 64 bit windows. Try 
this:

1. Run the win64.bat file. but first use the applications menu to run it as 
administrator. Even if you are logged in as this, you must still do this 
step.

2. If running the batch file does not work, then please read the read me 
text file in the swamp directory. This will instruct you on how to register 
the necessary files manually. Be sure to open the command prompt using the 
above described method of running the command prompt as administrator.

3. If you register the files manually, you might as well do all 3 of them at 
the same time. Will probably save you work in the long run.
If you do not run the batch file, or command prompt, as administrator, the 
files cannot be registered properly.

Keep in mind this is a one time thing. All  Aprone's games will then run 
properly in the future.

Good luck. Welcome to the game.

Re: [Audyssey] I have a question about swamp.

[Richard Sherman]

Hi Angel,

You need to extract all the files from the zipped file. Then the game will 
use the swamp.exe file to launch the game. The nice thing is that it runs 
solely from that directory. So you can put it anywhere on your system you 
like. Also, if you don't like the sounds, you can always modify them as you 
desire.

For anyone who wants to follow the thread on audiogames.net, the URL for 
swamp is

This brings you to the last page of it. You can always change the last few

Re: [Audyssey] swamp, possible new recording/review

[Richard Sherman]

HI,
I say go for it. There are a few of these out there, but not as 
comprehensive as what you are describing. Most just show from a map 1 newbee 
perspective.
Suggestions:

For map 1, look at it from a newbee's perspective. Give as much detailed 
info as necessary. going over how to use the radar, coordinate system, 
navigating buildings, and the quest system  are some things to consider 
touching upon. Also how the leveling up and point allocation system works 
too.

for map 2, give it from an intermediate perspective  Give only the tips and 
treks pertaining to map 2 that most might not know. Maybe a brief discussion 
about sub maps here might be good.

for map 3, make it from a advanced perspective. Again, only those tips and 
treks some might not know for map 3.

Maybe for missions a brief overview. Good patterns of looking, and what to 
do or avoid might be good.

One other thing to mention in your podcast is the use of custom maps. 
Practice there is quite useful. Practice makes better.

something to think about might be to wait for the next version before doing 
this. but if you do it now, good luck.

Hi all,
It's been a while since I've done any serious swamp recordings, so I thought 
I'd throw this out for debate. I'm  thinking of doing an overview of all the 
various aspects of the game. I'd show each of the maps, and do one of each 
type of warehouse mission. I may or may not do the sniper or lms, it would 
depend on how long my recording is  going. While I wouldn't be aiming for a 
walkthrough, I probably would explain a lot of what I'm doing, and in the 
case of the maps, I'd run through some hints and tips for each. Is there 
anything in particular you  would like to me to detail? Any particular 
strategy you want me to offer an opinion on, etc. That being said, I'm not 
at a point yet where I want to do  this recording. I've still got some stuff 
I want to run before I take on a job like this. Once I get all the stuff I 
need, and if anybody feels like this would be useful and/or interesting, 
I'll do the recording. The absolute earliest I'd be able to get it done 
would be this weekend, providing my schedule will cooperate.

Re: [Audyssey] I have a question about swamp.

[Richard Sherman]

HI Angel,

When you extract the files, they should be all in 1 folder. The game runs 
from that folder, no installation necessary. the only thing you might have 
to do is register some files if you are running vista or windows 7. If this 
is the case, please read the readme.txt file to register those necessary 
files.

In that directory is a swamp.exe file. Hit enter on it and enter your user 
name, password, and agree to the user agreement. Hit enter on multiplayer 
and see if it runs. If so, it will say connected and this day is sponsored 
by some person.

Couple of Things to note:

1. When the game starts, it will be set to use sapi for your tts. You can 
change this if you wish.

2. After the game starts, it will create three more files in that directory, 
progress.ini, keyconfig.ini,  and chatlog.txt. the progress file is to store 
your stats and settings. The keyconfig.ini file is for your keyboard 
settings. you can modify this as you wish to suit your needs. And the chat 
log is a text file of your chat messages. Messages sent by you and any other 
person are stored here for future use if necessary.

3. Please read the changelog.txt file. it will give you some helpful hints.

4. Remember to use custom maps if you need to explore or try some things. 
This way you can experiment with out getting killed and loosing all your 
stuff.

5. have fun. And remember to ask for help if necessary. Most people there 
are glad to help newbee's.

Good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp: mission thoughts

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,

It sounds like you are asking for different missions, but that take longer 
and with more of a story line then correct?

Because currently the missions can go either quite quickly or relatively 
long. it just depends on how many you have join, and how good those people 
are. I have heard of last man standing missions lasting well over a half 
hour. also missions into warehouse 4 can take well over an hour.

I do agree more missions with different styles than just collecting crates 
would be great. But I don't have any suggestions. But if you do, throw 
Aprone a message with the suggestion and as much detail as you can.

Also, there is a swamp folder being shared thru drop box. It has in it 4 
maps you can play in off line mode. Sorry none of them have been 
incorporated into multiplayer. But it does give you something else to try.

Or you can always create your own map and send it to aprone with your ideas 
and suggestions.

Plus keep in mind a new version should be on the way soon. So it may just 
contain some of your ideas in it. give it a look when it comes out and go 
from there.

HTH.

I'm finally getting back into swamp a bit, and more and more I'm wishing we 
had longer missions. Not that we'd have to find more crates, but that there 
was some kind of mission that would take over half an hour to do instead of 
five to ten minutes. I'm not sure how this would work; 150 crates isn't 
quite what I had in mind, but overall I'd like to see something longer, 
perhaps with more of a story.

Any thoughts?

Re: [Audyssey] swamp: mission thoughts

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Hadn't checked the fourm lately? you may have missed some things. Check it 
out. The thread URL is

http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?id=6341p=220

This is the last page of the discussion.

Aprone has mentioned a bit, mostly in the game, that a new version was on 
the way. As far as I know it deals mostly with security and connection 
issues. but rumors abound that it may include new weapons and missions. the 
hard core player mode has been slated for a release in the future for now.

as always, Aprone for the most part has been tight lipped about what and 
when. Personally, I don't care when, it will get here when it does.

and if you missed it on the audio games forum, he has been putting out 
little missions mostly with dires attacking certain portions of maps. We all 
come running and put them dires 6 feet under. The nice thing about these 
attacks is that some times it may be possible to get extra items not 
normally found. These may include running shoes, shorts, and bunny slippers.

BTW, for anyone reading this who does not read the audio games forum topic 
regarding swamp. today is swamp's 1st birthday. Woo Hoo.

then it makes sure you are in that folder to register the files. did you

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

Try the procedure again.

HI,

I forgot to mention that on the kaldobsky website, there are 2 walk thru's.

If you want more, here they are:

One done by valiant. it is fairly old, probably version 1.5 or so, but still 
has some good stuff in it.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13968355/Valiant%27s%20swamp%20playthrough.mp3

One done by harp. probably done about version 2.4 or so.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13968355/harp%27s%20Swamp%20Demo.mp3

One done by Drew. Probably the most recent one done about version 2.6 or so.

HI,

In  the swamp folder are 2 batch files. They are Windows32bit.bat and 
Windows64bit.bat files. just run which ever one is appropriate for your

I will follow the other instructions about command prompt etc., although I

You might have to select the batch file and choose the option Run as

Re: [Audyssey] entoomed final boss

[Richard Sherman]

HI,
 You could try the following:

1. Take out the blue crystal first. This way it cannot summon the bones of 
her or bring back any other crystal. After that, take out the other 2 
crystals in what ever way you wish. Most take out the red next.

2. Try the following spells:

confusion
curse
silence
slow

3. Try to poison or get her to have zombie rot.

4. Grapple or web scrolls work nicely if you have an assassin. Even if you 
don't, they still work nicely.

5. Try to take her out before she transforms. After that if she can focus 
she can do some serious damage.

6. Probably the best way to take her out is to focus on the head.

Good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's games and Win7?

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Thanks for expanding on my thought there. I meant no disrespect to any other 
programmer who currently uses VB6. Just those 2 games which are one of the 
few multiplayer ones out there came to mind and used them as an example.

I take my hat off to all the programmers out there. I am old school, Cobol, 
Fortran, basic, rpg, and a few other now dead languages, are what I cut my 
teeth on many years ago. Got my associates in computer science but got 
burned out and never got back into programming. It is those of you who now 
pave the way for great games for me to play with that I salute you.

Should have also said that even in the future, emulators and such will 
probably keep VB6 around for some time. just like those types of things keep 
dos and some really old, even arcade games, still around.

Seems like where there is a will, there is a way.

Hi Richard.
I really hope that we will be able to play all the VB6 games for many
years to come, as many of my favorite games are written in vb6. Not
only Jim's kitchensinc games and the games you mentioned are vb6, but
also GMA games, bsc, LWorks,  and many other games. I can actually
think of more good vb6 games than non vb6 games.

The reality is that VB6 is an old technology. And old technologies
sooner or later become so hard to use that people will stop playing
those games. for now things are still working fine, but we as a
community need to find a sustainable way to make the vb6 games work,
so they are not lost to us.

This has nothing to do with putting down of programming languages etc
and everything to do with keeping the games I like around as long as
possible.

I feel as a fellow programmer the least I can do to pay tribute to the
creative sols that made all these games that I love so much is find a
way to make them playable for as long as possible. I know it's
terribly altruistic of me, but for now it's the only solution I can
see.

Added to that, I do have a degree in computer science, so this is
squarely inside my domain. After all, games got me interested in
programming in the first place.

Sure looks like the server might be down. Just tried to log in myself. Just

Also there is a cap on how many people can be logged in. It is supposed to 
be 100. But think it is stuck at 80. If it reaches that mark you cannot log 
into the game. but usually at night here in the states there is not near

Re: [Audyssey] swamp navigation question

[Richard Sherman]

simon dowling wrote
another thing you could try is to raise the footsteps of the zombies a 
little higher than your own, and mute other players footsteps for now.
end quote.

I would suggest that you do not raise the footsteps of the zombies past 
100%. If you do,  it will throw you totally off especially once and if you 
remember to lower it later. Otherwise you will be thinking the zombie is 
closer than it really is.

but lowering yours and others footsteps can be helpful. But don't lower 
yours too much. I have lowered it too much, only to run into something and 
it stopped me. Yet I thought I was still running. I keep my footsteps about 
80% and others about 50%. I like to know if someone is really close to me.

For now, get pretty close before shooting. This way you are narrowing down 
the angle of the target, and within range of it.

Also be sure to read the 2 weapon files in the swamp directory. This will 
give you an idea of damage, range, and capabilities of each weapon. And you 
may want to practice on the custom maps a bit to get a feel for each weapon. 
There you can shoot and die with no regrets, nothing lost.

Good luck. Ask as many questions in the game as you wish. Most of us are 
very glad to help and assist.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp navigation question

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

To add to what Simon wrote.

As you found out, you earn reputation, or rep, and experience, or called 
exp, while playing the game. This is done by kills, finding and donating 
items, or thru missions.

The reputation helps you buy items in the safe zone or join missions. The 
experience helps you level up. Once you level up to certain levels, it makes 
it so that you can proceed to other maps or lead missions.

Quests are for the most part map specific. So if you get a quest to find a 
flashlight while on map 1, the quest item will be on map 1. there is 2 
exceptions to this. There are 2 quest items you can get from map 3 that take 
you across multiple maps. For now I won't go into those.

Missions are the best way to level up. It costs so much rep to join a 
mission. Be sure to practice the warehouse maps on custom maps so that you 
know the layout of them before joining. Also be sure to tell any mission you 
join that you are new and that you will try your best. Otherwise they will 
consider you a truck sitter and kick you off of the missions. The purpose of 
the missions is to enter a warehouse and collect crates that spawn randomly 
over the map. Pick those up and drop off at your  trailer to earn rep. Once 
all the crates are collected and dropped, you then return back to the safe 
zone you started from and you earn a bunch of rep and exp.

As for chat. many use team talk, skype, or other other chat clients such as 
those. Especially to coordinate missions. much easier to talk then to text. 
And yes, the in game chat works well.

Any future questions, just write here. You can also write me off list or 
look me up in the game.

Good luck. And remember that dying is only half the battle.

Re: [Audyssey] a huge swamp issue

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

Yes. prone is experiencing server issues after the last windows update.

Please be patient. When you try to connect, it might hang and you will be 
stuck at 0,0. Try pressing the shift slash key to connect. If you do not 
connect, press the esc key. If it says connection interrupted, the server is 
down. For how long no one knows. Just try to reconnect later.

Currently the main issue is with messages. they do not come thru as they 
should, they buffer. It takes something to connect to the server to bring 
them thru. When this happens, you might get a flood of messages at once. To 
do this, most people press the shift slash key. But killing a zombie, 
donating or buying something, or checking the mission list also seems to 
accomplish the same thing.

If you want, you can follow the topic on audio.games.net. The thread link

The network driver is actually something I've tried in the past and it
didn't help.  Forgive me for shortening this as much as possible, lol.  The
server software has been tried on several computers with operating systems
of XP service pack 1, XP service pack 2, XP service pack 3, Windows 7 32 bit
and Windows 7 64 bit.  The OS doesn't affect this behavior at all, so it's
been ruled out.  I've tried the network drivers from windows as well as
those from the manufaccturer.  It's been tried on systems with no firewall
or antivirus running to rule those out.  It's been tried on systems with
hardware that exactly matched the laptop and still no luck.  It was tried on
computers outside of my local network to eliminate my router as the cause,
also tried on computers receiving internet from a different ISP than myself
and still no luck.  The code has been checked and rechecked but I can't find
anything that would cause the bottleneck, plus if it was in code then it
should have done it on the laptop as well, which it didn't.  By checking the
code as it runs each line, it shows that the program actually does send the
outgoing messages correctly.  The layers between the program sending the
command and the network card actually sending the packets seems to be where
the problem lies.  That's about all I know.

I have several others asking for basically this same information so I think
I'll paste that into an audiogames thread.  Once again I apologize for being
as quick as possible and then seeming to vanish again.  I used to get a ton
of messages on a normal day, so you can only imagine what it's like when
2000 swamp players from around the world think I either don't know the
server is down, think there's just an update and want to ask questions about
it, or are trying to understand why I don't just do this and this to start
Swamp up again.  ROFL, it's a tad bit overwhelming, but I'm sure it will
calm down as word spreads.  The big thing is that people don't know what's
already been tried, and it takes a while to tell them if their suggestion
has already been tried.  :P

I am still super behind on my emails but I have noticed some titled
Donation received in there.  I will send out personal thank you's once I
get to them, but I wanted to take a moment here to thank everyone for
rallying together with the goal of helping!  :D  That being said, I don't
want anyone to be misled and donate believing that it will guarantee Swamp's
return.  money isn't actually what's holding Swamp back right now.  In some
yet unknown way, the laptop's old configuration was preventing the bottle
neck bug.  I have the laptop back up and running 100%, but even though the
hardware, anti virus, and firewall are identical to what they were before,
Swamp now has the bottle neck bug that it had on all other computers.

I've been working on it with all of my free time, but I still feel like I'm
grasping at straws.  Every theory that pops into my head is plagued with
this 1 gaping hole... the software ran perfect on 1 computer but fails on
all the rest.  That fact right there destroys every theory that passes
through my mind.  Could it be something in the Swamp server code?  Well
possibly but that doesn't make sense if it runs just fine on 1 computer.
Could it be an issue with windows 7?  Doesn't make sense because it still
doesn't work on XP machines.  Could it be due to the language used?  Also
doesn't make sense because I've tried it on machines that are plucked right
out of the time when VB programs were everywhere.  I keep checking things
but the entire time, in the back of my mind, I don't expect them to work
because they don't make sense based on what I've already tested and tried.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp server down?

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

the server appears to be up for now. He is still working on it. There is a 
xbit of a lag issue. mesages buffer. So you will need to somehow acces the 
server for messages to come thru. This can be done by either pressing the 
shift slash keys, making a kill, or entering some type of system command. 
Such as slash stats, rolling the dice, or something similar.

If you haven't done so, you will need an updated 2.8 version. Go to the 
website, or the downloand link is below:

www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/Swamp.zip

 When the game first starts, you might not connect immediately. Press the 
shift slash key to connect. But be careful. I spawned on the west side of 
the park, near the creek. Had to make my way back to the sz. So be ready in 
case you do not spawn at the sz.

Aprone just wrote the following in message#4,629:

To give another update, I'll post most things that have been tried.

Flyby's suggestion for restoring the user settings, in post 4599 I think it 
was, was tried but didn't solve the problem.

I'm using TCP so I've tried using NOSEND to disable Haggle's algorithm, even 
though these messages are far too large to be affected by that.

Even though it has been tried in the past, I tried resetting winsock and 
dumped its catalog but that didn't help.

The bios version is the same as it was before when it worked.

I've tried disablingC-states on the machine just in case that was messing 
with my outgoing network traffic, but that didn't help.

The network drivers are the same as they were before, though I've also tried 
them with the version microsoft provides.

From what I can tell, the server program is working as intended. When I step 
through the code it triggers Winsock's data arrival as it should, it 
processes the data, and it then calls the senddata function and passes the 
return messages. The SendProcess and SendComplete don't show any activity 
but I also don't get any errors. After maybe 10, 50, or even over a hundred 
messages have been sent using Senddata, they will all suddenly flood through 
like hair stuck in a pipe. So the clients get nothing for several minutes 
and then are bombarded by a sudden rush of hundreds of messages. After the 
sudden rush, messages will go back to getting stuck somewhere between VB 
calling SendData and the actual messages being sent.
end quote.

If anyone has any suggestions, plese post them on audiogames.net if you can, 
or just drop him a personal message. Contact info is on his site.

Curiosity Mars rover game.
NASA secretly put you inside the rover to help guide it down to the surface
of Mars.

As it enters the atmosphere, you need to uncover the heat shield so it will
start slowing down.
It will reach about 10 gravities of acceleration. You must decide when to
deploy the supersonic parachute, followed by when to ignite the
rocket-powered sky crane, to help slow the rover's speed from more than
13,000 miles per hour to zero in only seven minutes. [
Once the crane is hovering 25 feet from the surface, you have the task of
lowering the rover on three tethers and an electrical umbilical cord until
it sets its wheels down on the Red Planet.
You need to wait 2 seconds to confirm that you  are on solid ground by
detecting the weight on the wheels and you have to fire several small
explosive devices activating cable cutters on the bridle and umbilical cords
to free itself from the descent stage that flies off to crash land.
Then the fun begins. As you travel around in the science Laboratory, along
with the parachute and Sky Crane wreckage, you discover a army of Martian
zombies digging out of the soil, all commanded to destroy you. Armed with a
telescope and laser weapon, you must explore the planet while fighting off
the metal hungry zombies.

new port to try if you wish. The server name is the same,

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,

Nicole Thompson-Andrews asked:


What is Swamp?

Swamp is a real time online fps, or first person shooter.  The game play is 
not pvp, but against computer controlled zombies. You are situated in a town 
over run by zombies, with only a safe zone for safety. There are multiple 
buildings and areas to explore. You start out with  a pistol, 55 bullets, 
and 1 med kit. Your mission is to survive. You do this by collecting ammo 
and weapons from the corpses of dead zombies. You gain reputation and 
experience with each kill. Reputation acts as credit towards quests, 
missions, and helps you buy certain items in the safe zone. As you gain 
experience points,you level up.

Currently there are 4 multiplayer maps, 5 mission maps, and  8 different 
types of zombies to blast away at. There is also talk about new maps and 
zombies on the way.

The coolest thing about this game is that it is entirely free. to download 
the game, please go to

http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/

Its a whole lot of fun. Hope to see you there.

Good luck.

HI Keith,

Now that I know that. The only solution that comes to mind would be to note 
any doors, and the coordinates of them. If you leave that room or area, just 
note what directions you go to find your rescued character. The floor isn't 
that big so it shouldn't be too hard to find your way back.

Or, is it  possible to use your orb to take you to another floor? Possibly 
one that you haven't totally searched.

Otherwise you just have to wander around and try to remember how to get to 
the stairway down.

Not entirely true. You can be on the 6th floor, use the orb to go to town, 
walk up to the 1st floor, and orb back to the 6th floor, you don't need to 
return to town before using it.

So in Keith's case. If he was on the 4th floor, and orbed back to town. Went 
up to the 2nd floor and tried the army cheat, the orb is still attached to 
the 4th floor as far as I know. So if he pressed f1 he would then be back on 
the 4th floor and would not need the stairs.

Make sense?

Re: [Audyssey] installing swamp, help!

[Richard Sherman]

Hi,

You mention that you installed it on a virtual machine. Are you running 
swamp on a mac? If so, then the following might not apply, I don't know.

As you have probably already noticed, when you extract the swamp files from 
their zip archive, it is all in one folder. So if it is on your desktop, you 
can move it anywhere you want. All the files it needs are in that directory. 
But of course if you move it from your desktop, you may want to create a 
shortcut to the swamp.exe file.

As for your sound issue. When you press the tab key to cycle thru the 
different voices, does it say what voice is then selected? The 4 choices are 
NVDA, window eyes, jaws, or sapi. If so, and you are using window eyes, 
press that key till it says window eyes. Then window eyes should be your 
primary tts and should speak everything.

Good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] question about Swamp

Hi,

Just to add to this. You have to remember that the area is in chaos. so 
things might not be where you think they should be. I have found items in 
the restroom of k mart. So look everywhere. Usually I start in k mart and 
work from there. What's nice about the smaller buildings is that you can run 
around the outside and hear the ping of the item without having to go inside 
and check. Also, if you have a scope for your winchester or a m40, you can 
use it to locate such quest items.

Also, be sure to listen to the quest.wav file in the items folder in your 
sounds folder. This will tell you what the quest item will sound like.

And as mentioned, just walk over it. Then your quest, or mission key, will 
say to return it to the safe zone and donate it.

Good luck. Need assistance, look me up in the game or write off list.

HI,

Just to add to this. yes, the current way of saving a game is to be in the 
safe zone, and pres the esc key. you don't need to totally exit the game to 
save. But this only works in the safe zone and no where else.

and yes, when you die, you lose everything you have collected. When you 
start over, you get the supplies mentioned previously. Unfortunately, in 
this case, if you die there has to be a consequence and losing everything is 
it. So my suggestion is not to died. LOL
