Hi Folks, I ran across this message from two years ago.

Nothing is set in stone so this might be different later. At the moment ctrl+o will pop up the list box of tracks that are found in the tracks folder that can be selected. when on a track doing stuff, ctrl+s will save the current state of things so that one can close the train and then run the program again and find they're right where they were doing exactly what they were doing when they hit ctrl+s. So you can be going 85 miles per hour and press ctrl+s, close the train, open it again and you're going 85 miles per hour, traveling right where you were when you saved. Orriginally, it saved when you closed the train but it looks like not everyone is going to want it to work that way so at the moment saving is an option. the info is saved in an .ini file called train.ini. that file can be deleted to cause the train to pop up the dialogue as soon as you open the train for you to select a track. This should allow us to just delete th at .ini file when we distribute and everyone who tries it out will get generic behavior. harun mentioned the speed limit system we were thinking about. Basically you use two objects that are pretty much just going to be signs. One will set the speed limit and the other will remove it so you can get up a good head of steam again. When pulling up to a station it's hard, both in reality and in this simulator to stop when you want to. You'll pass the station or stop too soon, or find you're about a quarter of a mile from it but going too slowly to be there any time inside of a decade. You get old waiting on it and speed things up a bit, only to go zooming past the station before you're aware of the fact. So we put in a beep that only plays if you're moving under 5 miles per hour. The beep indicates when you're within 0.0001 miles of what ever object you happen to be that close to. for a station this allows you to stop pretty darned close to where you want. You listen for that beep. You hear it and you hold down the letter k until the train comes to a hault. the beep only plays if you're moving and at a rate of under 5 miles per hour. So if you're zooming along you don't have to worry about that beep getting in the way of sound effects. - Original Message - From: Valiant8086 To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 9:01 PM Subject: [Audyssey] New accessible train simulator in development Sorry if you guys get this twice.

Re: [Audyssey] alter aeon fame question
John, At level 25, you don't really need any fame yet. As I recall, it's only important around level 29, which is quite a few total levels away from level 25. The easiest way I've found to get fame is to find areas that say 'you have none of the fame in this area' when you use the 'where' command. If you go through these areas and make sure you explore/kill everything, you'll get most of the fame. When you're down to the last fame in the area, the 'where fame' command will tell you what's left. As I recall, there's around 30 fame hidden in the various areas on kordan and archais. You might want to look around there and use 'where fame' to see if you've missed any of it.

So you can be going 85 miles per hour and press ctrl+s, close the train, open it again and you're going 85 miles per hour, traveling right where you were when you saved. Orriginally, it saved when you closed the train but it looks like not everyone is going to want it to work that way so at the moment saving is an option. the info is saved in an .ini file called train.ini. that file can be deleted to cause the train to pop up the dialogue as soon as you open the train for you to select a track. This should allow us to just delete th at .ini file when we distribute and everyone who tries it out will get generic behavior. harun mentioned the speed limit system we were thinking about. Basically you use two objects that are pretty much just going to be signs. One will set the speed limit and the other will remove it so you can get up a good head of steam again. When pulling up to a station it's hard, both in reality and in this simulator to stop when you want to. You'll pass the station or stop too soon, or find you're about a quarter of a mile from it but going too slowly to be there any time inside of a decade. You get old waiting on it and speed things up a bit, only to go zooming past the station before you're aware of the fact. So we put in a beep that only plays if you're moving under 5 miles per hour. The beep indicates when you're within 0.0001 miles of what ever object you happen to be that close to. for a station this allows you to stop pretty darned close to where you want. You listen for that beep. You hear it and you hold down the letter k until the train comes to a hault. the beep only plays if you're moving and at a rate of under 5 miles per hour. So if you're zooming along you don't have to worry about that beep getting in the way of sound effects. - Original Message - From: Valiant8086 To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 9:01 PM Subject: [Audyssey] New accessible train simulator in development Sorry if you guys get this twice. The .ini track loading system is in, but is still broken a bit and needs some serious work to get it to actually work like it's supposed to. It would appear, at least for now, that using .ini files doesn't slow the main loop down enough to bother with. this is good. At the moment we have an every day list box that popps up when you go to pick a track. The tracks are listed in there and the file extention is on the end, ini. Don't know if we should remove the extention from the list or not. You select the track you want and then tab to the ok button and press that. Right now all of the game except that is self voicing, though we considered using the API for the screen reader if a compatible one happened to be running to speak stuff instead of SAPI. We aren't using any key commands yet that a screen reader could conflict with, but when key echo is on it's kind of bothersome as you hold down a button, like the letter i, to accelerate and the screen reader keeps saying the letter over and over again. I know a way to make the track select list box speak with SAPI if necessary. Don't know if the ok button could be spoken or not. We're using all SAPI for now and probably going to keep using a synthesizer of some sort since things are going to be so generic. When we have object names and such loading from a .ini file that anyone can create with any name they can think of, audio voiceovers won't work for reading names of those objects and all that good stuff. I wouldn't mind using the dll version of ESpeak to tell the trooth. Right

[Audyssey] My personal opinion on the castaways sounds
Hi all, and aprone in particular, This may be an early opinion (I've only been playing the new version for 20 minutes) but I'm liking most of the new sounds. The only ones I don't prefer are the pausing and unpausing game sounds, (The pausing seems a little harsh, and the unpausing can easily cover the sound of a tick. Also, I really liked the sound for when things happen, the new one just kind of grates on me. I don't mean to be critical, I'm just giving my highly personal opinions. P.s: Also related to castaways, I have a challenge. After several hours of work, I have managed to get my multiplayer game entirely walled in and untouchable. I freely admit to having to reload my mission 3 save to get lucky on raids, and thus the challenge. If anyone can duplicate this (no limit on the size of the settlement, but it must be self-sustaining and contain all of your buildings) I would really like to know how you did it. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] My personal opinion on the castaways sounds
I think there will be many differing opinions about the castaways sounds. It is part of the downside to having the temporary ones around for so very long. People got used to them and it is always hard to make that kind of change. The good news is that the sounds will remain as separate files so people can easily swap them out for ones they like better. Congratulations on completely walling yourself in on mission 3, so far that is the only way I've been able to beat it on hard mode. I've changed up my strategy a few times, but at the moment this is how I've managed to do it. Spoiler alert, of course. This is on the default map. I build my storehouse on O-28 and build 2 walls as soon as I have my settlement running well enough. The first wall goes at O-30 and the other wall goes at P-26. This seals off a perfectly protected piece of land that has 10 tiles of usable space. This isn't a very large piece of land, but 10 tiles gives me room for the storehouse, tavern, and 8 other buildings that I will need most. This isn't enough room to last forever, but it is very good knowing you have those 10 buildings totally protected. The next step is to try and defend myself as I expand outward to grab up more land. My next piece of land gives me 15 tiles of space, but it requires 4 walls to defend it completely. Walls must go at L-7, I-11, L-13, and M-12. If I can last long enough to get those walls built, that always gives me enough room to eventually beat the mission. Studying the map looking for the best places to try and defend has been an ongoing process, so I'm pretty sure other people have come up with other places that are good for defending also. I haven't played the new secondary map enough to find a favorite spot yet.

I may still have it, it may also be on some sites, and other places where random dodgy software exist because i have seen it. Development stopped for ages as did all projects for about 6 months before pkb finally died. It was really not much different from spursim except you did have a slightly advanced track with control of steam or deesel electric trains but no real mods ever came from it though it was more sim like.

So you can be going 85 miles per hour and press ctrl+s, close the train, open it again and you're going 85 miles per hour, traveling right where you were when you saved. Orriginally, it saved when you closed the train but it looks like not everyone is going to want it to work that way so at the moment saving is an option. the info is saved in an .ini file called train.ini. that file can be deleted to cause the train to pop up the dialogue as soon as you open the train for you to select a track. This should allow us to just delete th at .ini file when we distribute and everyone who tries it out will get generic behavior. harun mentioned the speed limit system we were thinking about. Basically you use two objects that are pretty much just going to be signs. One will set the speed limit and the other will remove it so you can get up a good head of steam again. When pulling up to a station it's hard, both in reality and in this simulator to stop when you want to. You'll pass the station or stop too soon, or find you're about a quarter of a mile from it but going too slowly to be there any time inside of a decade. You get old waiting on it and speed things up a bit, only to go zooming past the station before you're aware of the fact. So we put in a beep that only plays if you're moving under 5 miles per hour. The beep indicates when you're within 0.0001 miles of what ever object you happen to be that close to. for a station this allows you to stop pretty darned close to where you want. You listen for that beep. You hear it and you hold down the letter k until the train comes to a hault. the beep only plays if you're moving and at a rate of under 5 miles per hour. So if you're zooming along you don't have to worry about that beep getting in the way of sound effects. - Original Message - From: Valiant8086 To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 9:01 PM Subject: [Audyssey] New accessible train simulator in development Sorry if you guys get this twice. The .ini track loading system is in, but is still broken a bit and needs some serious work to get it to actually work like it's supposed to. It would appear, at least for now, that using .ini files doesn't slow the main loop down enough to bother with. this is good. At the moment we have an every day list box that popps up when you go to pick a track. The tracks are listed in there and the file extention is on the end, ini. Don't know if we should remove the extention from the list or not. You select the track you want and then tab to the ok button and press that. Right now all of the game except that is self voicing, though we considered using the API for the screen reader if a compatible one happened to be running to speak stuff instead of SAPI. We aren't using any key commands yet that a screen reader could conflict with, but when key echo is on it's kind of bothersome as you hold down a button, like the letter i, to accelerate and the screen reader keeps saying the letter over and over again. I know a way to make the track select list box speak with SAPI if necessary. Don't know if the ok button could be spoken or not. We're using all SAPI for now and probably going to keep using a synthesizer of some sort since things are going to be so generic. When we have object names and such loading from a .ini file that
Re: [Audyssey] My personal opinion on the castaways sounds
Hi, All I suggest is changing the pause and upnause sounds...they are a little obnoxious as they stand now.. But I like what you've done with the sounds otherwise.

What I can do is render the sounds at a lower volume, too. I rendered them at full volume, and it doesn't step on my screen reader, but I realize this is probably not the case with everyone. Just give me a bit of time to add more sounds for some other events I thought of. While I'm at it, if anyone has event suggestions, fire away. kai - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 4:26 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] My personal opinion on the castaways sounds Wow! I must say that is quite an impressive barricade you've put around your land. I think any enemies would think twice before wanting to take on anyone who could construct such a titanic defense! Haha, I know I would. I can't remember if Cliff is a member from audyssey, but I saw earlier he asked on the server about a way to lower the game's volume to better hear his screen reader. There isn't such a feature yet, but I've added it to the next update that I'm still coding. I figure it will be useful to others as well, with the introduction of all of these new game sounds which might distract from the speech. That's way to subtle for me. I just built walls starting at p-20 through p-31 through y-31 through y-20 and x-20 through q-20. It's a big square with all my buildings, and so far it's working beautifully. I've probably got 50 enemies on the map with only one or two more decoy catapults left. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
