Re: [Audyssey] A question about packing sounds in one file
Hi Thomas, Yes, I would think so. I have always just used individual sound files. Not only the resources but all of the work that it sounds like it would take to have DirectX or whatever know where each part started and stopped. But hey Kevin asked, so I told him of one way that I know of to combine wave files. For mp3 files you can just use the /b switch with the copy command and just copy them together. We finally got full power back on. Pretty strange that the battery powered lights and alarm were going off. They usually run out of juice after an hour or two. They must have been getting just enough electricity to keep them running for like 14 hours. BFN - Original Message - Hi Jim, That is a resource intensive way of loading and playing sound effects in a game that might have hundreds of sound effects. In a sense you would have to have several sound buffers load that sound and then use start and stop points to play the specific sound you wanted. That is a fairly memory and processor intensive way of handling audio playback in a game. Cheers. Jim Kitchen wrote: Hi Kevin, In Gold Wave press control a to select the entire wave file then control c to copy it to the buffer. Now open the next wave file and paste in the one that you copied to the buffer. That is press control p. Keep doing this until you have them all in one large wave file.

[Audyssey] Smugglers 4 Is this really playable?
Hi all, I purchased Smugglers 4 this afternoon, as I like to support any mainstream developer that is willing to include features to make their games more accessible. But so far, this is a joke I must say. Either that, or I am seriously missing something here. I understand this game wasn't designed with the blind in mind, so I figured I'd have to use the jaws cursor a good bit, I have no problem with that, but I haven't even done the first part of the tutorial and I am showing signs of carpel tunnel syndrome here. When the tutorial says the planet you need to go to has been marked for you for example, I arrow all over the place trying to find said planet to no avail, so here I am stuck with no planet to go. You folks that are playing this game, is this thing actually fairly smooth to play with a screenreader, or should I just go back to playing Madden 09 on my Wii and forget about it if I am not willing to arrow around dozens of times to get one thing done? I had thoughts of creating scripts for this if it turned out to be playable, but right now I don't see that as a possibility. Someone please tell me I am missing something here, because the game sounds really cool. and yes, I have turned on compatibility mode, (thanks ShadowDragon), and I have looked at the relevant parts of the manual, even though it is in the dreaded .pdf format.

Re: [Audyssey] Smugglers 4 Is this really playable?
Hi Che. The accessible mode is still a work in progress. You should explain your troubles to the developer so he knows what to work on. I think you're having the same problem as I am where locations seem to disappear off the map just when you need to go to them. It certainly isn't as easy as Smugglers3. That's for certain. Still, when the accessible mode is all done, Smugglers4 is definitely going to be a far supperior game. We just have to be patient and vocal about what does and doesn't work for us.
