Which is why I use an external for backup and an external for coman use.
In fact most stuff exists on the external drive for that reason.
on all systems the drives are devided into bits.
a small one for the os, and a large one for data and user settings.

Re: [Audyssey] Getting the Chainsaw in Awesome Homer

Hi Charles.

The chain saw sounds like a rapidly going mota until you pick it up, sort of 
like a car engine idling or a road drill. Then, when you duck down and grab 
it you'll here the chainsaw making it's usual sound as it activates, at that 
point you can run along sawing through barrels.

Hi tom.

Actually, I'm going to need to get another drive stuckk in my desktop soon 
expressly for holding audio and music, sinse I've only got about 50 mb free 
at the moment.


I use an external drive to backup, but I'd rather not have two of them on 
the go sinse that would get confusing. Luckily, we do know someone who can 
probably put one in for me, and I'll likely need to do it before christmas 
of this year sinse otherwise I'll be running out of space.


I will say though on the slow down issue, regular defragging has helped 
considderably with computer speed, even though I've only got 4450 gb and 
have filled about 400 of that.

Re: [Audyssey] win trucker question

Hi Thomas,


From the trucker.txt file;


Thank you for checking out my text to speech version of trucker.
The original trucker game was written by Hughes Glantzberg in 1985.
There was also a popular version by Bill Pogue named big rig.
Both of them were dos text only versions. (no sounds)
I hope that you enjoy this windows Microsoft sapi5 text to speech
version with sounds.

So yeah, diesel and gasoline sure were one heck of allot cheaper back then.  
And I do believe that before diesel became popular for cars, pickup trucks etc 
it was allot cheaper than gasoline.  But if one were going to update the fuel 
prices, you would also update the rest of the dollar values as well.

Hi Thomas,

I tried lowering the pitch of the chainsaw and it was not even perceptible.  
That is I believe that lowering the pitch also lowered the volume or at least 
it made the sound blend in with the rest of the sounds.  However raising the 
pitch was very perceptible.  So that is what I am going with for the warning 
that the chainsaw is about to run out for version 2.

Hi Thomas,

My problem with the zigzagging ramps would not have been with the math.  It 
would have been with the sound placement of the barrels rolling down the 
zigzagging ramps and trying to depict that some were on higher ramps and some 
on lower ramps and some were taking the short cut down the ladders.  And of 
course having the ladders make noise so that you knew that they were there for 
you to climb and watch for barrels coming down them.

Re: [Audyssey] Could I have some hents please?

2011-07-27 Thread Jim Kitchen

Hi Curt,

Spoiler space for Awesome Homer level 7.










In level 7 the first two cars just randomly move back and forth left and right. 
 The next car does a good job of getting in your way.  But the closer you are 
to it, the slower that it gets in front of you.  So wait until you are very 
close and then move to the left or right of it.  The next two cars do not get 
in your way as much, but they will cause you to spin out via oil or bananas.  
What I do is to get over to one side and as soon as I hear the oil or chimp 
voice I mash the arrow key to go to the other side and thus avoid the oil or 
bananas.  The last car with Gonk is not too hard to stay behind and then just 
move along side of once you are close.

I hope that helps.

Hi Dark,

Just for fun I looked it up and 55 MPH would be 101.8 KPH.  Sure sounds faster that

Remember folks: Stop lights timed for 35mph are also timed for 70mph.

[Audyssey] Castaways: Disapearing Buildings

2011-07-27 Thread Christina
Hello.
I've been trying to build a ship for days now, RL time.  Whenever it gets 
started, the ship disappears and the bottom two rows of my map change.  I tried 
building a house in one of the bottom rows and that disappeared too.

Jeremy, should I send you my game file for this or is this an already-known bug?
Thanks.

[Audyssey] question for those players of smugglers 4

2011-07-27 Thread alex wallis

Hi list.
I have a question for those of you who have played smugglers 4 by neils 
bower games.
I bought the game ages ago, and gave up with it as the screen just 
looked a total mess with jaws, but things seem to be a bit better now, I 
don't know if that's down to different display settings or what.
but anyway, could some kind soul please tell me how do I access the 
options menu, in order to turn off the stupid game music which drowns 
out jaws almost completely, and I want to enable the blind players mode.
unfortunately I can't seem to find an options menu even after starting 
the new game.

any help would be very much appreciated.
I know its possible as I think I did it years ago, but now I can't 
figure it out.

Hi Thomas,

From the trucker.txt file;

Thank you for checking out my text to speech version of trucker.
The original trucker game was written by Hughes Glantzberg in 1985.
There was also a popular version by Bill Pogue named big rig.
Both of them were dos text only versions. (no sounds)
I hope that you enjoy this windows Microsoft sapi5 text to speech
version with sounds.

So yeah, diesel and gasoline sure were one heck of allot cheaper back then.
And I do believe that before diesel became popular for cars, pickup trucks
etc it was allot cheaper than gasoline.  But if one were going to update the
fuel prices, you would also update the rest of the dollar values as well.

BFN

 Jim

The highways will be safer now that the price of gasoline is so high. Nobody
can afford to drink AND drive.

Hi Charles.

The chain saw sounds like a rapidly going mota until you pick it up, sort 
of like a car engine idling or a road drill. Then, when you duck down and 
grab it you'll here the chainsaw making it's usual sound as it activates, 
at that point you can run along sawing through barrels.


Beware the grue!

I haven't gone through all of the Emails about how to get the chain saw, 
but haven't gotten it yet.  Then again, I've only played the game 3 times. 
I have been able to jump 9 barrels without it, though.  I hear a sound 
sort of like a wood pecker.  Is that the chain saw by chance?  There is no 
option to hear the game sounds, which may be helpful.

Hi Thomas,

Here you go.

Level 1 keys

Left arrow key = run left
Right arrow key = run right
Left control key = jump
Left shift key = duck
P key = pause and unpause on all levels except for level 5

Level 1 objective
After you dismount your donkey, you run up the jungle path to the top of 
the mountain where Gonk has taken Marge.


Level 1 hints

You will jump farther while you are running.
Duck to avoid the giant bird and to pick up the chainsaw.
You can duck or jump while carrying the chainsaw.

Re: [Audyssey] question for those players of smugglers 4

2011-07-27 Thread dark

Hi Alex.

The options menue is actualy on the very first page when you start the game, 
just hit the lable that says game options.


Actually, you'll need to do this whenever you start the game because blind 
compatibility mode needs to be activated each time you begin as otherwise a 
lot of stuff in the game won't have readable lables.


Hope you can get it to work.

Btw, Smugglers 4 should be working with jaws now, previous versions didn't 
particularly well, but certainly for the last couple of years things should 
be fine, though perhaps someone who uses jaws would be a better person to 
ask for advice on the nuts and bolts of playing the game with it..


Beware the grue!

[Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights

2011-07-27 Thread Dakotah Rickard
Hi there. Finally, after an enormous game with 170 people, I broke
Castaways. This is an extremely robust game, and I am incredibly
impressed!

Now, for a question. What's the difference, effectively, between
soldiers and knights? Why do I want a knight instead of a soldier? I
notice that knights have swords and armor, but since nobody seems to
be injured more as a soldier, what's the point?
