Re: [Audyssey] Some background info on Top Speed 3

2011-01-20 Thread Davy Kager

Hello,

Your donations are always appreciated, of course.  The Ding-bug is caused 
by the keyboard focus being placed on the Top Speed logo.  As of yet we 
haven't found a way to get around this, other than simply not displaying the 
logo.  This is why we will most likely switch DirectInput back to what's 
called exclusive cooperative level.  This means your keyboard will be 
mostly blocked, and on some computers even your volume controls break.  The 
solution to this is to Alt+Tab out of Top Speed and then do whatever you 
wanted to do.  At least this gets rid of the dinging. :-)


Many thanks,
Davy

Hi.
I would be willing to pay for topspeed 3, especially when you get a couple 
of the bugs that are causing me problems figured out. I race multiplayer 
with topspeed 3 just about every day, and have been playing topspeed 
multiplayer with others online for a year now.


I want to pay for topspeed. I want to donate for topspeed 3 actually, but 
am waiting for the bug where my computer does a default ding sound over 
and over when I try to use my keyboard to race. If you decide to reproduce 
topspeed in a different language, I'm hoping you make it very similar. 
Like the ability to replace the soundpack with my own, that is an 
important one. I have to modify the sounds a lot to help me be able to 
play with my hearing problems, and being able to just make a new 
languages, even if it's still english, is a tremendous help. If you 
developed a new version of topspeed, and I liked it, I'd certainly pay to 
have it.


Thanks for all your communication with your excited topspeed fans, and all 
the interaction on twitter and on this list that goes on to fix issues. I 
personally don't want topspeed to stop being developed, that goes as far 
as me paying for a new one built from the ground up. The only thing is 
whether your new version is as perfect as the current version is. It's 
going to be hard. This is my favorite game, and that's saying a lot. I'm 
not saying I don't like anyone else's games, I'm just a blind person who 
happens to be into engines. I live on a farm and am involved with 
tractors, trucks, stuff like this. I eat this topspeed game up and I want 
more! This game is like made specifically to please me, that's how I feel 
about it, and I'm not trying to flatter. I just might have produced more 
cars for this game than anyone else, No proof of that though. Last time I 
counted Iwas at around 17. Anybody made more than that?


Ok sorry about the poor typing, but I composed this in a hurry, I'm 
getting ready to do a race, and wanted to get this sent off first, and no 
I'm not joking just to be dramatic, I really am hurrying off to do a 
multiplayer race with someone who just got home and can host a server on 
the connection there finally. *lol*.

Hi.
I would be willing to pay for topspeed 3, especially when you get a 
couple of the bugs that are causing me problems figured out. I race 
multiplayer with topspeed 3 just about every day, and have been 
playing topspeed multiplayer with others online for a year now.


I want to pay for topspeed. I want to donate for topspeed 3 actually, 
but am waiting for the bug where my computer does a default ding sound 
over and over when I try to use my keyboard to race. If you decide to 
reproduce topspeed in a different language, I'm hoping you make it 
very similar. Like the ability to replace the soundpack with my own, 
that is an important one. I have to modify the sounds a lot to help me 
be able to play with my hearing problems, and being able to just make 
a new languages, even if it's still english, is a tremendous help. If 
you developed a new version of topspeed, and I liked it, I'd certainly 
pay to have it.


Thanks for all your communication with your excited topspeed fans, and 
all the interaction on twitter and on this list that goes on to fix 
issues. I personally don't want topspeed to stop being developed, that 
goes as far as me paying for a new one built from the ground up. The 
only thing is whether your new version is as perfect as the current 
version is. It's going to be hard. This is my favorite game, and 
that's saying a lot. I'm not saying I don't like anyone else's games, 
I'm just a blind person who happens to be into engines. I live on a 
farm and am involved with tractors, trucks, stuff like this. I eat 
this topspeed game up and I want more! This game is like made 
specifically to please me, that's how I feel about it, and I'm not 
trying to flatter. I just might have produced more cars for this game 
than anyone else, No proof of that though. Last time I counted Iwas at 
around 17. Anybody made more than that?


Ok sorry about the poor typing, but I composed this in a hurry, I'm 
getting ready to do a race, and wanted to get this sent off first, and 
no I'm not joking just to be dramatic, I really am hurrying off to do 
a multiplayer race with someone who just got home and can host a 
server on the connection there finally. *lol*.

Well, that's ok, since your attempt to fix the volume control didn't 
work for me anyway. I wonder if you couldn't check specifically for 
volume up and down and pass it on through somehow?

Re: [Audyssey] Some background info on Top Speed 3

2011-01-18 Thread Dallas O'Brien
that was a very handy post. thanks. to answer the most pressing question to 
me, yes, if you created a new racing game from scratch, i would definatly 
pay for it. and i know of at least 4 or 5 others that would pay for it also.
what would be really good in this kind of game, is much like they have in 
sighted games. in that you must decide how much fuel to carry, select your 
tires depending on the conditions of the track, have to pit to get repairs 
done, refueling, new tires, or change of tires as needed.
these kinds of things would really add some challenge to the game, and i 
would buy the thing as soon as you can upload it to me. lol.
to close up, over all, considdering the age of the things your using to 
create this current game, fantasticly done. i love the game as it is, and as 
i said, if it gets better by becoming closer to  a game a sighted person can 
get, then i think a lot of people would buy it.

best regards to you and the team.
Dallas
