Re: [Audyssey] potentially interesting addon for games

For example, let's say that our protagonist is called Peter. Peter can do two things. He can either go to the pub or go to the old barn. If he goes to the pub, something else happens.

I don't know at this point exactly how bare bones I plan to get with this game.

Re: [Audyssey] Creating Roll Playing Games From Scratch
Hi Thomas, I hear you. However, my question relates to the stage where you are writing the story for the game in a word processor. Or, do you start writing directly in a database? If you go to http\://www.ffproject.com or http://www.projectaon.org, you will find a number of downloadable game books. They are word documents consisting of numbered sections. You choose the relevant section based upon dice roles etc. My question relates to writing those numbered sections. When I am writing the game story before writing the code, how do I keep track of the different paths the character could follow?

Re: [Audyssey] mainstream game accessibility
Hi Ryan, Thanks for clarifying that. I appreciate all those statistics and yes we do have far bigger challenges to overcome. However, perhaps what is needed is greater awareness even in these organisations about accessible games. For example, I have not seen any game developers host any stalls in any of the blindness conventions or major blindness technology conferences. I suspect this is because most developers are single man operations and do this in their spare time. To counteract this, perhaps a bunch of enthusiastic users could put up the money and host stalls at blindness technology shows.

[Audyssey] Disabling the laptop display using the laptop battery saver from techno-vision
Hi all, One technique that I have not seen discussed in the turning the monitor off thread is the use of the laptop battery saver from techno-vision Systems. I use the product everyday and it disables the display as soon as you get to the desktop. The battery saver is a small device shaped like the jack of an older CRT monitor. It plugs into the video out port of your laptop. It works by simulating a monitor so you route your laptop's display output to the device such that the laptop screen is disabled. You use the same technique when connecting to an lcd projector. Note: I am not getting a sales commission for the above but am just a satisfied customer.

Hi Dark, David could if he chose, separate the map making function from his GMA game engine and allow anyone to make maps while playing other games. For example if you have the map maker in one window and switch to a game in a second window, you could walk along a path in the game, then switch back to the map maker program and create the same path. You could even add notes or numbers inserted in the path telling you things such as went in this room, or this is the entrance to the kitchen. or trapped a monster in this room. As you are in the map maker there will be no monsters to attack you. You could for example map the corridors of Shades of doom marking what is behind each door and then when you play the game again, use the map program to guide you as to what to do.

[Audyssey] tracking multiple threads in a game book
Hi all, I want to write a game book. However, I cannot really see how to do it. Yes, I need to have a number of scenarios. These scenarios have to be numbered like the scenes in a movie script. However, how do I track multiple plots? Do I write individual game books with the correct plots and then add some wrong plots in the middle?

Tom. Intreaguing indeed. I certainly take the point about adding captioning for sounds in games being comparatively symple, but I believe the problem here is that this isn't often done, and as games get more inclined to use full animated cutscenes or spoken dialogue people with hereing imparements are having more problems. Perception of disability and what harm it precisely does is actually part of my phd thesis, sinse i'm attempting to formulate a new deffinition and approach for looking at disability which can be then used in solving certain problems. One odd thing though, is that blindness is rarely referenced in the academic literature on disability itself. There's a lot said about deafness, and quite a bit about paraplegia, but comparatively litle on blindness, and I do admit this contributes to my belief about game access issues for those disabilities being more obviously addressed by devs. Also, there is the question of what games are looked at. I'd guess interactive fiction games for example would be near impossible for someone who couldn't quickly use the keyboard, and while they could play many online games, and indeed some like the flash ones which are not Vi accessible, they'd have issues every time they were required to fill in a text field. while I know there are solutions to this sort of problem, how efficient they might be, and how much effort they take to work could be another matter.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Beta 2 Released!
Hi Thomas, I finally had the chance to play a little with beta 2. I have not read all my messages yet so I hope beta 3 is not out. 1. There are points in the game where the view command fails. That is, let us say that I'm moving from side to side. Once I pick up a few objects or fight with a few hostiles, I find that hitting the v key does not do anything. I need to take a few steps to the right and a few steps to the left and then perhaps the command will start working. 2. I am no longer being thrown out of the game temporarily as I was in beta 1. 3. I have played the game running exclusively as a limited user in windows XP professional. I have not had any problems that I could relate to running as a limited user. At least, nothing showed up in the Windows event logs. 4. I have tried to save the game using the function keys. However, nothing has happened when I have pressed these keys. Have you been able to implement this feature? Other notes: I now managed to get a little further in the game. I was able to get on to the ledge, crossed the statue, kill a few more hostiles, swim across the water, take whatever I could on the other side and then swim back.

Over the passed few days/weeks I have been involved in performing a major upgrade of Mysteries of the Ancients. As the work I am doing is largely experimental I don't want to say too much about the work as yet. Although, I think if it pans out it will be a big step forward with the game, and possably will resolve several issues with the game. That said, here is the deal. I've been porting MOTA over to a newer version of the Genesis Engine, and so far so good. Thing is since Genesis is primarily for First Person style games I never put an arcade mode in the main Genesis Engine. It was strictly an addition to the modified engine for Mysteries of the Ancients. Obviously I can add an arcade mode to the Genesis Engine, make it a standard feature, but I'm not sure if that is necessary. So I am going to ask this question. When playing Mysteries of the Ancients do you prefer arcade mode or standard mode when playing?

Basically, that the engine was hogging too much processor power and ram than it should. Well, it so happens after several hours of looking over the code line by line, inch by inch, etc I have found the source of the problem. It happens to be a very massive, extremely huge, like totally unbelievable memory leek of godlike proportions.Actually, forget leek and call it more like a full blown flood of memory loss. In short, the basic problem was this. The soundClose function in my Audio3D class failed to close sounds when it was called upon to do so. So if i closed a gun sound to load a new one in its place, had the game speak a message and dispose of it, the game just kept adding a new one on the system heap without ever actually removing the old sounds and speech messages from memory. Obviously, the end result of this was a massive heap overflow. The engine kept piling sound files, speech messages, etc onto the heap and of course sooner or later the game would run out of available memory and die. After fixing said bug the game runs fast, light, and smooth so far. Oh, and i put the high quality 44100 KHZ sounds back in the game and no serious memory issues. It uses more memory of course, but it isn't going to crash the game on a fairly decent computer now. Just thought you might like to know about this exciting news flash.

Shift tab until you hear microphone volume, crank it up to 100, this is how people are going to hear you while you demmo said game. 5. Tab, there should be a mute checkbox. Hit space on it to uncheck it. 6. You should hear yourself talking into the microphone if this is successful. 7. Tab to the ok button and hit enter. 8. Tab to the recording volume button and hit space bar. 9. You'll see microphone volume, then a select checkbox which will be checked. 10.
