Re: dev's becomeing one
Re: dev's becomeing one Agreed with Camlorn on this one. My experience of Undead Assault was that, since it was the beginning of covid times when it came back, I played it like 6 hours a day for 3 days and then stopped entirely. I could not tell you how the popularity dropped after that, because I have not clicked on the game executable since 4 days after it was released again.Undead Assault also only requires 4 people and can be played with just yourself. Battle Royale with 4 people would be boring. Games for sighted people literally have rounds with 50 to 100 players, and to even have a chance of making that feasible without a dedicated marketing guy to continuously drum up interest or whatever, you'd have to make the maps like 10x smaller and have rounds with 10 people. I don't even have 9 other friends that I could get together at the same time to test that kind of concept if I did make it.

Re: dev's becomeing one
Re: dev's becomeing one Among Us is only 4 players at a time, so i guess it would be cool. The problem with some multiplayer round-based concepts though, such as battle royale, is that they are too large to be feasible with the playerbase they would pull in. I wanted to make a battle royale game but it would be pointless anyways without aggressive marketing to get more than 30 people on consistently.

Re: List of Ways to Make AudioGames
Re: List of Ways to Make AudioGames You got all of the popular ways, I think. Most programmers around here are new and will follow the trends. The current trend is Python, with a _javascript_ presence sneakily growing over the past two years which will explode when somebody makes beginner-friendly tooling and documentation. I give it another year. Other than that, the more experienced people will do what they're going to do - I know people who work in Golang now building their own engines and others who still work in BGT because of legacy projects.

Re: Extended PEMDAS.
Re: Extended PEMDAS. I feel like the easiest way to do this would be to just do the dice calculations first, replace them with numbers and do the equation as normal in that case. I don't know the regex off the top of my head for this, but you could make a regex that singles out a number, then a D, then another number. Parse that, do the dice randomization, then substitute the number for the original string you singled out.

Re: Suggestions for Wayfar 1444 relaunch welcome
Re: Suggestions for Wayfar 1444 relaunch welcome So modern MOO version control probably looks like a dev port with code that automatically checks a github repository for updates to files and integrates them if there are any. Testing can then be done, and then the same process can be manually triggered on the main game so that the code gets implemented. The files in version control would likely share similar formatting to MOO object dumps. I feel like there are probably issues I'm missing with this approach because I haven't worked with MOO in a while to know the specifics of what would go wrong, but I'm not going to actually implement the system to see. It would be an interesting experiment for anybody that would start a new project in MOO these days I guess. The most recent thing I can think of that was started in MOO is Chatmud.

Re: Suggestions for Wayfar 1444 relaunch welcome
Re: Suggestions for Wayfar 1444 relaunch welcome So... The codebase is pretty archaic, and virtual exits didn't occur to them at that time. Every exit is an object, so 2 rooms with one linking exit is 4 objects. That makes up a significant chunk of it. Then there are various NPCs and monsters. Then there are all the players and their vehicles and containers and etc. Most containers can be virtualized IIRC, but I think unique items are unable to be. Other than that I'm not sure, there are probably a load of objects that could be cleaned up but aren't because people are too lazy to look through 300-400k lines of code and figure out where something isn't getting cleaned up properly etc. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/618293/#p618293 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Suggestions for Wayfar 1444 relaunch welcome Note that the version of the MOO code open-sourced by Hellmoo (Hellcore) is... terrible.

The server code is also open-sourced, but Toaststunt is better for modern development. It's one of those things where if you're not a beginner, it'd just be better to develop your own stuff and if you are a beginner, you won't be able to do anything with it anyways.

Re: An Opportunity May Be Just Around The Corner...
Re: An Opportunity May Be Just Around The Corner... I understand that you don't want to go into many details, but I feel like you'll get more bites if you at least say what languages we should be experienced in. If it hasn't been started at all yet and the language is negotiable, a basic descriptor of the game type would be useful. E.G. if it should be a mud, MOO might be a good starting point, just as an example that I know you will understand. There are many ways to solve any problem if the project hasn't already begun (IE MOO is not the only way to create a mud) but I feel like different people like to work on different types of games, and some of them might not apply without knowing some of that basic information.

Re: why do most people choose python?
Re: why do most people choose python? I think the thing with DRM is that people want to make the barrier as high as possible. Instead of having caution tape, they would like a six-foot wooden fence, if you will. If you just compile with pyinstaller and call it a day, any scriptkitty in this community can reverse engineer your game and rip out your registration, because "how do i decompile python exe and get source code" is not a difficult query to come up with, and not a difficult one to get an answer too either. People generally want their DRM to be at such a level where someone like TSP would have to spend a while fucking with it, or whatever. But if anything, C# is even worse for that. So is _javascript_, unless you are like Discord and make lots of use of native modules effectively writing all your code in C++ anyways.

Re: Rpg with out coding? That's possible?
Re: Rpg with out coding? That's possible? @18Yes, the STW scripting language is codenamed RTig. I haven't talked with Sam in detail about exactly how it works, but it probably doesn't follow the conventions for how interpreters are usually written. But it works and doesn't seem to slow the performance of the server, which is really all that matters considering he's the only one maintaining the code. I wanted to take up this challenge as well, but then I stopped using BGT. Who knows how far I would've gotten with it a few years ago.Also I'm not sure if theoretically you could write a whole game in it. I don't know how advanced the looping structures are, and you'd have to bind a whole bunch more functions, and I don't know if it has any semblance of feature-complete OOP, etc. It's primarily used on STW to define custom uses for items and special map events.

Re: a simple way to learn BGT
Re: a simple way to learn BGT The world doesn't work that way, programming doesn't work that way, and BGT doesn't work that way. In fact, BGT actually has a very clear manual in my opinion, and there are very few communities that will help you with anything related to BGT at all anymore. The interest of many programmers in this community has shifted away from BGT, with many of those actively discouraging use of it because it's abandonware. So no, there's no shortcut to learn BGT more convenient than the manual itself.

Re: Why do people still use bgt?
Re: Why do people still use bgt? @31:As was proven in another topic back in the day, Aaron Baker has an updated version of BGT. Honestly I'd put money on him having the source code as well but that's really beside the point of this topic. The point is that Aaron can make BGT do whatever he wants now, and Manamon2 is really not outside the scope of the public build of BGT anyways. Updated Angelscript libs would just add new features that were probably useful in the development of Manamon2 (anonymous functions, error handling, implicit casting, whatever). The feature that trims SAPI speech so that there aren't weird delays with some voices probably was not coded in the scripting language either, was probably coded in C++.So is Aaron's use of BGT for Manamon2 lazy? No, I don't think so, and I think there are other developers who can do cool things with it as well. Obviously there's Pragma who was mentioned before, but Sam Tupy immediately comes to mind as well. He no longer starts new projects in BGT either, but some of the things that he's doing in current ones are really stretching the boundaries of BGT. But they work anyways, and I would not say that coding your own scripting language constitutes laziness either. My opinion on BGT still remains the same. Use it if it works within the boundaries of what you are creating.

Re: !!!In the attention of all audio game developers***
Re: !!!In the attention of all audio game developers*** This is easier in some languages than others. Python for example has gettext which is more seemless than some other solutions. In Crazy Party which is a BGT game, the translation situation is... less seemless than gettext. With a clunky translation system, you'd either have to start writing the game with that goal in mind or do a ton of extra work to convert it. Kinda like accessibility.

Re: JavaScript Problems
Re: _javascript_ Problems @5: Yeah that will be an issue with numbers that are not single-digit. _javascript_ is too permissive IMO, and that can cause strange behaviors:"2" < "4" => true "3" > "1" => true "11" < "3" => true "16" > "3" => falseThe reason for this is that string comparisons work by comparing the first characters of both strings, then moving on to the second if they are equal, and doing the same thing until an unequal character is found.

Re: a question abowt python 3 I don't even think there is a purpose in using the launcher anymore, unless you need to run legacy Python 2 code.

If a website was what you were looking for, you should have said that, not that Camlorn's post was unhelpful because he didn't know what you meant. Your first post didn't really give a whole ton of details.

Re: Free cPanel Alternatives.
Re: Free cPanel Alternatives. @32, You would know better than I about their customer service then. And I suppose if I'm being fair I wouldn't peg QS-hosting as a blind-specific service if I didn't see the Teamtalk hosting. Maybe it is something I would look into if I wanted to get managed web hosting, but I'd probably get a VPS or dedicated instance for the increased freedoms.

Re: Free cPanel Alternatives.
Re: Free cPanel Alternatives. @30:Sorry, but you've done nothing to indicate suitable maturity for your age that would make me think that you should be handling the data of others. Yeah, I guess you can look at it as me trying to get your customers to leave you, just like I would warn people about using Blind Extra or whatever that addon was. I have no direct experience with you, but it's more typical for someone younger to suddenly turn on someone that made them mad and maybe accidentally leak the source code to something they hosted with you, or whatever.I'm just saying there are professional alternatives that look a hell of a lot better than your service. It's not just your age. QS-hosting, for example, has a better website presentation than you. That's one of those blind-specific hosts that I probably wouldn't go with because there are better deals out there for web hosting, but the web presence makes me more likely to think they are a professional business. In casual contexts such as this forum, I don't think good English should be enforced and that bad English should be pointed out, but this is a professional context, not a casual one.As for your MySQL port, the point is not at all that you have MySQL installed. It's that the port is open and so can be accessed externally. This shows that you don't really have any idea how to manage a server.I like how you also just glossed over the points we made about what actual hackers would do.

Re: Free cPanel Alternatives.
Re: Free cPanel Alternatives. So, there's a whole list of reasons not to host your stuff with Simter starting with the fact he's like 14 and probably shouldn't be handling the data of others. The problem with hosting with one of these small blind-specific things is that they have far more of a reason to want to fuck you over at some point in the future. I'd rather host with a big company.Also Simpter, someone hacking you and messaging you on TT is a laughable example of a hack. A real hacker, someone with some brains, would delete all your files and never tell you who they are because... why would they? Or they'll do something worse like put a backdoor in your system so they can continue seeing everything your clients are storing for months or years in the future. Maybe they would blackmail you or your clients with this information, or like Camlorn said you might be welcomed with open arms into a botnet. And if what 25 says is true about your MySQL port...

Re: serializeing in python?
Re: serializeing in python? Yeah so about the BGT serialization format, I spent a couple hours figuring that out because I was bored. Note that to truly protect data you should encrypt it, so just like Carter figuring out the pack file specification I see nothing wrong with this. Basic format is:Key in base64Null (\x00)Type notation (\x01 through \x04 where \x01 represents int, \x02 represents float, etc)Value (with strings it's also encoded in base64 but not for other types)Another nullThis took only a little while to figure out with the file open in the Python REPL. Nothing fancy. I did this months ago so I might be foggy on the details. This isn't really giving you an alternative, just explaining why BGT serialization is exactly like Pickle in that anyone can edit it. So that is to say that Pickle is effectively the same as BGT serialization, encrypt it if you don't want people looking at the saves. But Camlorn also makes good points about Pickle, and you can find articles proving his point about code execution if you look around.

Re: recieving client's name in socket in python
Re: recieving client's name in socket in python Basically, the flow will most likely go something like this:Client 1 sends a command with a message and the name of a player to send to. Example: "/pm client2 Dude, if you don't give me my stuff back I'll kill you." This is assuming private messages work in the same way as they do in most preexisting audiogames, with a slash command.Server receives that message, searches the players to find the one with the name client2. Then it sends a formatted message to the IP associated with client2. Example: "Private message from Client1: Dude, if you don't give me my stuff back I'll kill you."Client2 receives that formatted string and speaks it.How you store the mapping of player names to IP addresses is up to you and there are probably different ways to do it depending on how complex your game is. Whether it be stored in a dict or in a Player class, it doesn't really matter.

Re: accessible_output2 to a audio file in python
Re: accessible_output2 to a audio file in python If you're absolutely sure you're using SAPI, I think you can access the com object and do it from there. As Camlorn said though, none of the screenreader libraries can do this on Windows, and I'm not sure about those that are specific to Mac or Linux.
