Hi Shaun,

I see. Well, when I got mine it came with a computer I had purchased
at the time and my copy of Silent Steel came in a cardboard sleeve
that folded out with all four discs in it. Despite having it for
nearly 20 years they are still in good condition and the cardboard
sleeve is a little warn, but still in decent shape. Whoever had the
discs before you must have beaten the crap out of them.

Hi Sarah,

The game is completely self-voicing. The captain of the submarine speaks the
choices aloud as well as gives mission briefings, speaks the game's story
aloud, and so on. Take my word for it the game is 100% accessible.

Re: [Audyssey] Running silent steel under win7.

2013-11-10 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Shaun,

I don't think it does. That's most likely why I could not get it to
work on Windows 7. My Windows laptop has an AMD 64-bit processor and a
copy of 64-bit Windows. A lot of older games and apps won't work right
on that machine. Especially, the 16-bit apps from older versions of
Dos/Windows.

Cheers!

Hi Darren,

I would not say that. I think my problem is just that my copy of
Windows is 64-bit not 32-bit and there is a lot of older stuff that
won't run quite right on 64-bit Windows. If I tried it on 32-bit
Windows I'd imagine I could get it working. Plus there is a program
for Mac and Linux called Wine that is very good for emulating Windows
XP, and I might be able to set that up for running Silent Steel etc
under Linux. My point being if there is a will thre is a way. I just
have not put too much time in trying to get that particular game
working since buying this Toshiba laptop.

Hi Lindsay,

Silent Steel is an old submarine game written for Windows 95.
Interesting enough it was one of the few mainstream games that is
fullyaccessible to the blind either through accident or design.

Cheers!

luck with it yet either.

Hi Sarah,

The game is completely self-voicing. The captain of the submarine
speaks the choices aloud as well as gives mission briefings, speaks
the game's story aloud, and so on. Take my word for it the game is
100% accessible.

Hi Lindsay,

Silent Steel is an old submarine game written for Windows 95.
Interesting enough it was one of the few mainstream games that is
fullyaccessible to the blind either through accident or design.

Hi Darren,

I haven't confirmed this, but I think Silent Steel was a 16-bit
application. If so that would be the reason why it wouldn't work on my
Windows 7 laptop. I have a 64-bit version of Windows, and that is not
16-bit backwards compatible.

2013-11-08 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Charles,

No. Totally different from Lone Wolf.

For one thing Silent Steel is set in the modern day, I'd say around
the early 1980's, and it is a story where a U.S. Submarine is out on a
training mission when they encounter some Soviet ships and submarines.
As the story unfolds what starts out as an ordinary training mission
ends up becoming a war between the United States and the U.S.S.R.

Cheers!

Hi Charles,

Definitely not. Silent Steel was released in the mid 1990's for
Windows 95. The game is almost 20 years old, and I doubt any stores
would be selling the game now being that old. If you want it I figure
you will have to get it used from Ebay or some game reseller. The only
reason I have the game is that it came with my IBM Aptiva in 96 as
part of its software bundle.

Hi Sarah,

No problem. Glad I could help. I'm actually a bit surprised so many
people hadn't heard of the game, but then again it was around before
the Audyssey Magazine and Audyssey List got started so I suspect very
few blind gamers heard of it when it was new, and are just now hearing
about it nearly twenty years after the fact.

Re: [Audyssey] Running silent steel under win7.

2013-11-08 Thread shaun everiss

what is the error.
if its about the drivers, don't worry thats not important.
from each disk you need to copy to your isteel folder, all idx data.
all avi or mpg video.
all wav data
all wav idx data.
all id files.
the setup is needed to make the game.cfg.
you in addition
need the composer.lg file
and all disk.* files 1-4
glossery.txt
the help.hlp file
you will also need the ms help viewer update
to get this the easiest way is to go to
www.mush-z.com
or www.blindsoftware.com and download and run the right msu file 
depending on what your system type x86 or x64 is.

you will need the panic.ssg file
and the readme file if you want to
the cfg file is called
TSAGEWIN.CFG
avivideo can also be mpegvideo.
here is a sample
I will put the sample below, and tell you what all the lines are
DM   = 0
This line is for demos.
it can be 1 or 0 1 will play a demo I assume at one point there was a demo.
It plays the first part of the game only though I am not sure what 
the significance is now.


HASDIGI  = true
PLAYER_SPEECH= on
these 2 lines are for sfx and speech.
Most of the sfx is in the videos and  the digital line and speech 
lines are for sound only.
They don't work because the setup is looking for old versions of 
mciavi and mciwave but can't find them because they are not win 
3.1  files though the game will work without them.




VOLVIDEO = 1000
video volume, leave alone.
VIDEXT   = AVI
AVITYPE  = AVIVideo
this aparently is for the video file type.
that can be mpeg or avi aparently though I have not seen the mpeg 
version so that version may be newer.


FAMILY   = FALSE
If you have kids you may want to make that true.

PATH = c:\ISTEEL\
game path
ROLLING_SAVE = PANIC
This looks to be what the save for sertain things is as the game goes.
you can replay entire games to and sequences.

CD   = c:\ISTEEL\
AVI  = c:\ISTEEL\
the next 2 lines are for the location of video files and the cd.

SCALING  = OFF
I never used this but it probably has to do with mono or small 
screens or something


SUBTITLES= OFF
This thing had other languages though I never found them.
for its time it was good, but it was just game iindexes and video files.
for its time it was quite good.

Re: [Audyssey] Running silent steel under win7.

2013-11-08 Thread shaun everiss
its an old submareen game written on windows 3.11, based round I 
think the cold war.
From what I read the sub is nuclear and it was set in the 1960s, 
however, not much more.
You basically have to sink  2 subs, capture and deal with a traterous 
officer and a few things.
The plot is not much, and you can not really go wrong though if you 
do go wrong there is a 100% chance you can die or die soon after.

If you do some things wrongly you will die later on.
Its a classic but replay wise  there is only so much you can do.
You can't buy this anymore.
You may be able to get it on ebay or something or well you may have 
to download it from a torrent or something.
Though to be honest the only thing securing it was where things were 
located if you knew how to move files then you could be ok.

well it needs a sertain codec tom.
vfw something or rather.
I have the klite mega codec pack which is supposed to have it but the 
cd for silent steel has that old codec so maybe if you installed it 
that would make it work.

Hmm just tried it on 7 32 bit and it does work.
go to www.codecguide.com

Sadly, I have had no luck getting Silent Steel to run under Windows 7

no charles.
Compaired to lonwolf its quite basic.
A video file and an audio file.
each disk has these pluss a data file with its id and number.
Each bit or audio or video has an index and then its matching the 
dots to the indexes.

Hi Lindsay,

Silent Steel is an old submarine game written for Windows 95.
Interesting enough it was one of the few mainstream games that is
fullyaccessible to the blind either through accident or design.

Cheers!

Hi Charles,

Definitely not. Silent Steel was released in the mid 1990's for
Windows 95. The game is almost 20 years old, and I doubt any stores
would be selling the game now being that old. If you want it I figure
you will have to get it used from Ebay or some game reseller. The only
reason I have the game is that it came with my IBM Aptiva in 96 as
part of its software bundle.

Cheers!

well that may be why it works on my 32 bit os then.
it was win 3.1 so is 16 bit.
To be honest if lonewolf got some mods for it, a couple missions 
could be made for the game quite easily.

Hi Darren,

I haven't confirmed this, but I think Silent Steel was a 16-bit
application. If so that would be the reason why it wouldn't work on my
Windows 7 laptop. I have a 64-bit version of Windows, and that is not
16-bit backwards compatible.

Hi,

I can confirm that silent steel does in fact work on 32 bit xp and I'd
presume 32 bit 7 but I don't have it to test.

Hi Sarah,

The game is completely self-voicing. The captain of the submarine speaks the
choices aloud as well as gives mission briefings, speaks the game's story
aloud, and so on. Take my word for it the game is 100% accessible.

Cheers!
