hi, yes, the reason he did that was because the college network used sapi5 to manage the initial screenreader interface program. he tried putting sapi5 support in there but it conflicted with the network. whatever you want done with it, you can change it. that's why he released it open-source. regards, damien - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 3:32 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] blind man's bluff released Hi Damien, /At the moment my only suggestion is that Tony upgrade from SAPI 4 to SAPI 5.

Personally, I am surprised he went for SAPI 4 support which is like Windows 95/98 era SAPI.

Some of their selections were a bit odd though. thinking rpg environments, i was looking for some wind sound effects. Searching under wind brought me lots of smashing window sounds, whilst searching under weather got some wonderful rain and thunder effects, but no wind. Also, when trying to find ambience for dungeon environments, the only entry it got me (when I searched under Tunnels was an underground train ;D. Though I would guess that a dungeon environment would be fairly easy to recreate using the audio game maker's own acoustics, and maybe some dripping water or burning torche effects for a bit of atmosphere. Hopefully though, once a community of audio game producers has built up, there will be a fair library of generic object sounds available to use. though I don't think it would be right to copy the sounds people create themselves, specifically for charactors or situations in their own games. so, taking sod as an example, sounds like the wind, step, and weapon firing sounds would probably be okay to copy, sinse they're fairly generic objects, but the monster sounds are unique to sod. If you coppied the mutant human sound into your own game, for all intents and purposes, your monsters are then Sod mutant humans, whatever you intend them to be. so if you used the mutant human sound for an ogre in a fantasy game, it wouldn't actually be an ogre, imho it'd be more like a sod mutant human pretending to be an ogre. it would be like cutting the sprites (graffic representations of charactors), out of one main stream game and coppying them into another, and in most cases this isn't exactly legal. Of course, if you were making a sod 2 or something like, you'd need the mutant human sound to represent mutant humans. but other than that, i really! don't think coppying the charactor sounds from other games is a good idea, even if it were legal.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi thom. As I said, I was thinking mostly in terms of ambient environmental effects here, sinse i do very much understand the danger of all games sounding the same. One problem though, is while ameter main stream game developers are quite free to draw their own graffics, ameter audio game developers can't be quite as free when it comes to recording or creating sounds. If I was the BBc radio workshop, and I wanted a fire effect in my game, I'd be quite free to build a fire of the appropriate size and stick a sensative mike near it. However, though I do have a very good mike, If I tried to build a fire I'd get chucked out of my colidge, and probably even taken to court as well. Obviously, for sounds it is possible to reccord, it'd be far better if people made their own sounds, but this can't go for everything. The only way i can see around this problem is to have as wide a variety of generic sounds available as possible, to give people the maximum amount of choice about what gets put into their games. for example, if there were 10 or 20 different wind effects on offer as opposed to just a couple, you could have ten games all with different wind sound effects, even if they each used a combination of three or four of them at a time (I know myself I'd want several effects for different environments). Imho the more choice in this matter, the better, though obviously my opinions as far as charactor sounds go are rather different. Beware the Grue! Dark. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

If I haven't miss understood some of the item properties, it also appears you could use an inventory function in a vehicle based game to equip different parts to your vehicle to increase it's speed handling or offencive capabilities. *quote end* Yes, items mostly contain properties related to weaponry/healing. So you can use it to create a magic sword, healing potions, key to open a certain door. But, items can also change certain properties of the avatar (whether this is the speed of a walking character or a massive tank). Please see: http://www.audiogamemaker.com/manual/item/item_properties.html (item properties) http://www.audiogamemaker.com/manual/item/item_reactions.html (item reactions) *quote* also, is it possible to set enemy resistance to particular items? such as certain creatures needing to be attacked by a specific item in order to be defeated? second, is there a way of creating player items that would allow attacks at a specific rate, ega chargeable sword swing which would do more damage? *quote end* Mmm let me think about that. I guess that this functionality (resistance against some but not all items) is not in Audio Game Maker. But I guess that with a work around, you might be able to create more or less the same functionality. An option is to maybe use a timer to always gradually increases the opponents health to a certain maximum. Then give the player several weapons that do little damage, and give him one weapon that does do a lot of damage, meaning that this weapon must be used for this particular monster. And after the player succeeds, remove the weapon to avoid that the player uses this against other enemies. Another option might be, that when a player makes an attack with a certain weapon, you might be able to connect it to a trigger, which in turn adds more damage to the opponent. This just from the top of my head... I'm not saying it is possible, I'm saying it might be possible with a work around. Many things will be possible with Audio Game Maker, but you need to be able to think of creative solutions ;) *quote* I think these are the only two things i can see that would be needed to create an action/rpg game akin to Zelda or secret of Mana, (I'm truly impressed by the ally status option), sinse everything else that I can think of is most deffinately there! *quote end* I can see where this particular functionality might be important. I'll discuss it with the programmer and maybe there's a way we can still implement this directly. Otherwise we'll put it on the wish list. Thanks for the suggestion... *quote* i was also wondering if there was any function in the game to create menues at specifictimes and locations. These could be used for all sorts of things, from choosing the world (useful in a vehicle based game for selecting paths or race courses), to choosing what you say to another charactor in an action or rpg game, with associated sound files (and maybe recieving different items as well), attached to each choice, it might also be possible to use a menue system to create turn based combat, by having menue choices attached to reduction in various charactors or opponent's stats, use of items etc (though obviously this would be more complicated to impliment. *quote end* Yes, you can (but again, this is simply just one way). There is not a Menu Building Block so you need to build something yourself. Each menu could perhaps be a world consisting of a ?x1 grid. Each cell would contain a sound source that can only be heard when the avatar collides with the sound source by moving from cell to cell. Then you can attach a portal to it to create some sort of interaction, so that when the player hits a button on a certain cell, he/she is transported to another world using the portal. In
Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Dark, I have been collecting sound files for years, have bought some sound effect CDs and get files from the News Groups, but sometimes you just need to make them yourself. Like one day I was just playing around with the way that a sound file was being played and I was like hey I could use that sound for Pong. And in my Battleship game the sound of a miss into the water is just the sound of me dropping a shot glass into a bucket of water. And if you are going to make your game self voicing with recorded speech you need to record, cut and edit all of those speech files. But hey sometimes you have a great idea for a game and it takes forever to find or make sound files for it and other times you find sounds and it gives you an idea for a game.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Nicol, *quote Does the audio game maker allow you to make a game where the player choose options from a menu? *quote end* Yes, that can be done. There is no standard menu-building block, but you can make menu's with some clever use of message blocks. However, you might not even need standard menu's when you can have a menu where each item is a soundsource placed somewhere in a space. Connect each one to a portal building block and you can create a menu that is spaced in ..err.. space. Audio Game Maker first and foremost focuses on building blocks with which you can create *gameplay*. It is being developed in a very short time so that is why this has priority. Therefore, things like save games and intro menu's have been pushed to the back of the production. First and foremost we would like people to be able to create fun games/gameplay with Audio Game Maker, instead of people being able to create wonderful menu's but no games. *quote* does the audio game maker allow you to have a speaker test function which the player can use to ensure his speakers are correct? *quote end* Sure, you simply play a soundfile with a voice saying left (panned left) and right (panned right) using the Message building block (http://www.audiogamemaker.com/manual/building_blocks.html#message) at the beginning of a game.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi. Creating sound effects actually sounds like good fun, especially the voice acting part (I look forward to playing monsters in any games I make). But for the sounds that I can't create, I'd like as wide a choice as possible, so that any game I do sources of sound effects are helpful create is unique sounding as well as (hopefully), interesting to play. So it's great to know about these various sources for sound effects , and I hope that people won't mind making them (or at least some of them), available to potential game authors. Of course buying a library is an option, and I well might do that myself if I really get into the games making business, but certainly it'd help people who either can't afford a library or are just starting out in game making (like I will be when the Audio game maker comes out), to have a good selection of sounds on offer. Hmmm, maybe the Audio Game maker site could have a page of links to various sources for sounds? Btw, thom, I'll be interested to try out audio asteroids anyway, even without the special effects Lib (Spaceworms sound entertaining). Jim, I love the Simpson's samples in your games, having Doe! when I select the wrong golf club or get sent to jail in monopoly is always fun. I have a few rather crazy ideas about sound creation myself, hopefully I'll be able to share them with people soon. Beware the Grue! Dark. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Brian. Looking at the properties and reactions for player and opponent building blocks, I believe multiple charactors is a possibility. I think creating a party of one player and several automatic allies that move and attack things on their own wouldn't be too hard to do. You could then have a menue world with various things in it that would effect the stats of the ally building blocks as well as the player. for example, putting in a message building block that would say Equip armour to charactor A, would increase the defence of one of the ally blocks, or use spell would decrease one of their stats and damage all enemies in the current world (though unless it were possible to give blocks 2 sets of amo stats and attacks, I'm not sure how you'd stop the computer from waisting all of your charactors spells, unless maybe you could create an inactive opponent block which would have no effect in the current world other than holding an amo stat for the use of magic, which would decrease when you activated a spell. I suspect if you used inactivatable player blocks that would carry the stats of the opponent blocks and trade places with them when activated, you might even be able to have switching betwene fully controlable charactors as in Secret of Manner, but I'm not certain on this. Of course, I could be talking a lot of complete and utter Grue poo here, having never seen the game maker in action. I do however have one moderately serieous question about it. Can you copy elements directly from one world to another? or store settings for particular worlds and building blocks that you can re use in other worlds? it would strike me that if you were going to have repeated game elements appearing in a large number of game worlds, to have to constantly recreate them might be an extremely lengthy process. say (to take a simple example), your writing and Rpg and create a Goblin, which you want for a generic enemy in just about all game locations. It'd be a lot easier to have some way of coppying the goblins, links to sound files and all, than of having to constantly recreate them. Likewise, if you've got to do something mega complicated with players and items to get certain effects working, it'd be an absolute nightmare to have to do this in every game world, especially if you had a very large game with lots of different environments like an Rpg. Sorry for yet another extended stream of longwinded wordiness from me reguarding the audio game maker, just put it down to my profession as a philosopher, my excitement about the A.g.m, or both.

That is understandable. Once I release my Asteroids open source clone I will likely make an effects lib for people to use for future open source titles, or at least in this case for Audio Game Maker. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Dark, I like the way you think. I would love to see an rpg style game for the blind complete with plot and all sorts of monsters and quests. As far as copying sounds I guess the best way to go would be just to ask. I was hoping that once this got off the ground that a site might be created where people using the audio developer could share things like sounds they created for no charge. Just donating to the site as far as material would be all that is required. Yvonne Stressed out? Need to relax? Call Yvonne and schedule your massage today!

Of course, if you were making a sod 2 or something like, you'd need the mutant human sound to represent mutant humans. but other than that, i really! don't think coppying the charactor sounds from other games is a good idea, even if it were legal.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Well, here's what I am thinking. Let's say I am trying to get a specific type of sound for my game and I try several times to create that sound and it just isn't what I want I could post the best of the rejects on this site I was speaking of earlier and let everyone choose from that list if they wanted. I am not saying the effect would be poor just not what I needed. So, I would keep the final choice and the others could be available so that someone could find that perfect sound without so much worry that one game would sound like another. Yvonne Stressed out?

As I said, I was thinking mostly in terms of ambient environmental effects here, sinse i do very much understand the danger of all games sounding the same. One problem though, is while ameter main stream game developers are quite free to draw their own graffics, ameter audio game developers can't be quite as free when it comes to recording or creating sounds. If I was the BBc radio workshop, and I wanted a fire effect in my game, I'd be quite free to build a fire of the appropriate size and stick a sensative mike near it. However, though I do have a very good mike, If I tried to build a fire I'd get chucked out of my colidge, and probably even taken to court as well. Obviously, for sounds it is possible to reccord, it'd be far better if people made their own sounds, but this can't go for everything. The only way i can see around this problem is to have as wide a variety of generic sounds available as possible, to give people the maximum amount of choice about what gets put into their games. for example, if there were 10 or 20 different wind effects on offer as opposed to just a couple, you could have ten games all with different wind sound effects, even if they each used a combination of three or four of them at a time (I know myself I'd want several effects for different environments). Imho the more choice in this matter, the better, though obviously my opinions as far as charactor sounds go are rather different. Beware the Grue! Dark. ___ Gamers mailing list ..
