Hi Ken, I'm not sure what Che uses, but I am using Visual Studio Express 2008 without any Jaws or Window Eyes scripts and it works fairly well out of the box without scripts provided you turn off a few things that give Jaws and Window Eyes headaches. As far as were to get it I have the complete Visual Studio dvd image on my web site at http://developers.usagamesinteractive.com/downloads/ and yes it is free.

Re: [Audyssey] potential programmers, was : idea fora new game
Hi Bryan, My advice is don't sweat it. Yes, math is an important part of programming but not so vital you can not do any constructive programming without math skills. The rule of thumb is this. The more math you know the more complex the program you can create. Plus you are forgetting here there are other developers out there who can help you with the math problems when you need it. For example, on the developers list Ryan Smith was having sometroubles understanding how to calculate and use distance and direction formulas. Since it is fairly easy trig for me I helped him out and now he knows a lotmore in that area than he did know before asking. Since Ryan is very young he never had basic high school Trig, Geometry, etc but he manages to get by with writing some games despite that. Bryan Peterson wrote: The main thing that's holding me back from trying programming is my abysmal math skills, because I've certainly got the time on my hands. Of corse I've always had problems in that area so it's ot surprising that the idea of programming seems dawnting to me. Sad, really, since I'd love to put out some games. I'd love to see an audio game in the style of Pirates! if anyone on list remembers that game. Then again maybe when I move up to Seattle, as I most likely will and possibly before the end of this year, I may try again to at least take some basic programming courses and see what develops from there.

Hi William, You start by beginning to learn the language basics, and then branch out into specific types of programs. Since I know you are a big Mac user I can say right off Visual Basic .NET might not be what you personally want. Yes, it is popular among blind programmers because it is easy, but if you want to target the Mac directly something like the Mac version of C-Sharp with SDLDotNet would be more suited to your interests.That is if you wanted to write games for your Mac rather than running Windows all the time to play games. As someone who is looking to buy a Mac this summer of course I am trying to gather support for more Mac developers.

Re: [Audyssey] potential programmers, was : idea fora new game
Hi William, As far as the C-Sharp language goes two books I highly recommend is Programming C# 4th eddition and Learning C# 3.0 by Jesse Liberty. If you have a Bookshare account you can obtain them through Bookshare.org in daisy format, or you can visit my favorite programming educational site http://safari.orelly.com and get a subscription to all there books in accessible format. While the books themselves are geared for a Windows developer using Visual C# what you learn is pretty much the same as what you would be doing on the Mac with mono. As faras the Mac CSharp IDE, Monodevelop, I'm not sure were access is with that right now. I know the Linux version of Monodevelop rocks with speech, but I've heard Monodevelop for Mac is less accessible. Although, there is a work around. If you don't want to fight with Monodevelop you can code your source in the Mac text editor, and compile from the terminal window by running the mcs compiler directly. One thing to keep in mind when using the Mac for C-Sharp programs you need to run the program by opening a terminal window and doing something like mono mota.exe to start a game like Mysteries of the Ancients or create a program launcher that does that for you.

That's not an issue you're seeing mike, it's that the rooms are dark. if you light one of the enchanted torches objects like that become visible so you get clues as to where they are. Assuming Tom doesn't go overboard on torches, this is gonna be a frustrating and very welcome way of doing things in my book, because it might mean doubling back on yourself and having to remember the way you've come to go back and check for items you need if you've run out of torches.

hi tom and all Love the game so far, though I have a few comments It seems the layout of the level always remains the same. I like the fact that a door is locked and it seems you have to go forward in the game to come back to the door later, to continue very nice however, s p o i l e r s p a c e how do i determine when to jump off the first rope to get through the stone statue? it keeps saying up or below and to the right. Yet i jump off at certain points and can hear the statue but am not bye it very nice erandomness though although once we know the level layout it may not be so challenging but i shall reserve judgement on that thanks will --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] mota demo
I think what's confusing people is that you have to select the torch and then light it by using the space bar. Thanks to a hint from Charles, I just figured that out. Things are working much better now. I prefer that method of using torches to having them automatically light. However, there should perhaps be more of an indicator that one is in a dark place. Perhaps, a spooky undertone or something of that sort would work there. It should be recogniseable as a darkness indicator without overpowering what you could still hear around you.

[Audyssey] issue with speech in mota
hi. OK, I do like the mota demo. However I have found a few things that I don't like about this game. first and biggest thing I really don't like Is the games speech can't be interrupted. the time when this gets extremely annoying is say if I am in a really big room with a lot of objects, and I am climbing a rope to try to find the ledge. now of course I have to use the view command to get an idea of where I am in relation to the ledge. but every time I press v I have to listen to the hole list of everything in the room and where it is in relation to me. not only that but while speech is playing I can't move to go up or down the rope. and if I am on a rope and some way above or below the ledge, I have to listen to the same list of objects 4 or 5 times. to my mind this is a serious floor. the issue with not being able to interrupt the speech or move while its being sounded might mean I didn't buy the game unless it was changed. as I am finding it intensely irritating. My other question also relates to the speech in the game. Why exactly are you recording wav files with everything the speech needs to say? when it is easy to make sapi on the computer output what needs to be read out. having the wav files like this means a user is forced to work with a particular voice that they might not like. plus all these files massively increases the size of the installer. The other issue I have noticed is there doesn't seem to be any sound or feature that indicates when you can open fire on an enemy, because of this I have wasted a lot of ammo. or is this because I am not picking up on a feature of the game? I no this sounds like I am just bashing the game, but I don't mean to. I do like the game and I think it is quite good for a side scroller. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

However I have found a few things that I don't like about this game. first and biggest thing I really don't like Is the games speech can't be interrupted. the time when this gets extremely annoying is say if I am in a really big room with a lot of objects, and I am climbing a rope to try to find the ledge. now of course I have to use the view command to get an idea of where I am in relation to the ledge. but every time I press v I have to listen to the hole list of everything in the room and where it is in relation to me. not only that but while speech is playing I can't move to go up or down the rope. and if I am on a rope and some way above or below the ledge, I have to listen to the same list of objects 4 or 5 times. to my mind this is a serious floor. the issue with not being able to interrupt the speech or move while its being sounded might mean I didn't buy the game unless it was changed. as I am finding it intensely irritating. My other question also relates to the speech in the game. Why exactly are you recording wav files with everything the speech needs to say? when it is easy to make sapi on the computer output what needs to be read out. having the wav files like this means a user is forced to work with a particular voice that they might not like. plus all these files massively increases the size of the installer. The other issue I have noticed is there doesn't seem to be any sound or feature that indicates when you can open fire on an enemy, because of this I have wasted a lot of ammo. or is this because I am not picking up on a feature of the game? I no this sounds like I am just bashing the game, but I don't mean to. I do like the game and I think it is quite good for a side scroller. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi, Smile. Just because Angela can't see an item doesn't mean the item isn't there. Just like in real life. You can't see or hear the item, but you still can find it by accident and pick it up.

Re: [Audyssey] mota demo
Hi, Not sure what to say about that, but best advice for anyone getting confused is to read the User's Guide such as it is right now. That is why the documentation is there. At any rate almost all of the rooms are dark except for the ones that have torches in them. Smile. Michael Feir wrote: I think what's confusing people is that you have to select the torch and then light it by using the space bar. Thanks to a hint from Charles, I just figured that out. Things are working much better now. I prefer that method of using torches to having them automatically light. However, there should perhaps be more of an indicator that one is in a dark place. Perhaps, a spooky undertone or something of that sort would work there. It should be recogniseable as a darkness indicator without overpowering what you could still hear around you.

Re: [Audyssey] issue with speech in mota
Hi Alex, Alex Asked: first and biggest thing I really don't like Is the games speech can't be interrupted. Tom Says: Yeah, I can see how that can get annoying. However, there really is no help for that seeing as I am using wav files for speech instead of some text to speech out put like Sapi. Figuring out a way to interrupt the speech is on or list of things to do before final release, but not sure how successful that will be since doing so may cause other side issues with speech along the way. All I can say is give us time to look into this issue since this is after all only a beta. Alex Says: now of course I have to use the view command to get an idea of where I am in relation to the ledge. Tom Says: Keep in mind here that you are a totally new player. Once you get practice with the game you won't always have to look for that ledge. You will figure out eventually that going to say 38 10 or 38 11 and jumping from there will take you directly to the ledge. Also the ledges drip and the statue makes its chanting noise. Both are great sound cues as where to the ledge is in relation to you. My point being is that the view command becomes less and less important as you learn the game. Alex Says: not only that but while speech is playing I can't move to go up or down the rope. Tom Says: Yeah, we have a fairly good idea why that is happening, and we are attempting to fix that issue by placing speech output into its own thread rather than speaking on the main thread. This is a rather involved update so it has been scheduled for some as yet unknown date to be done. Hopefully it will get done before Beta 2 comes out. Alex Asks: My other question also relates to the speech in the game. Why exactly are you recording wav files with everything the speech needs to say? when it is easy to make sapi on the computer output what needs to be read out. Tomb Says: Several reasons. First of all, the new Genesis Engine, which MOTA uses, is being designed to target multiple operating systems such as Linux, Windows, and Mac OS. With that in mind Microsoft Sapi support simply does not exist outside of the Windows environment so I have to use something a lot more generic. Second of all, in our experience including Sapi support in a game can be more trouble than it is worth. When we were using Sapi in the Montezuma's Return test builds several people had screwed up Sapi installations which we ended up trying to resolve to get our games to work on those test machines. Since Sapi is technically not one of our products we do not feel we should have to fix a product that isn't even ours just because Microsoft can't get their act together and make Sapi stable. Finally, we can pick the voice we want players to use. We know not everyone can afford high quality voices so we include them with our games. This improves the quality of the game and over all enjoyment for most players. Alex Asks: The other issue I have noticed is there doesn't seem to be any sound or feature that indicates when you can open fire on an enemy, because of this I have wasted a lot of ammo. or is this because I am not picking up on a feature of the game? Tom Says: We did not include a targeting sound because we did not feel it was necessary to do so. We felt it was rather obvious if an enemy was playing on the left that turning left and shooting would be very straight forward and obvious. However, if this becomes an issue and a request to add one we certainly can.

Re: [Audyssey] Tomb Hunter Beta 1 released!
Hi. I've found all of the menus to be the same, you can't press escape or anything to back out of them. And when you ask it to quit game you can't get it to just assume yes if you type y or no if you type n. Also, could you turn off music in the main menu and the sounds menu if I have turned it off in settings, or maybe just while in the describe sounds menu. I can't hear the sounds in the menu over the music. Or, maybe you could fade the music completely out, describe the sound, play it, fade the music back in, like light tech interactive does with at least one of it's games. Ok last thing, I can't seem to climb the swinging rope in the second room. I have done it before but started new games and such and it will say swinging rope above and . 0 meters. I press eh eltter i or the up arrow and it won't climb up the rope. What am I missing?

Re: [Audyssey] mota demo
Hi James, James Said: I haven't tried the beta yet, but on the torches: I personally think having torches automatically light is helpful in several ways; since they cannot be used at your disgression their placement is a clue to the location of a dark area. You can be pretty sure that it's close to where you got the torch. Tom Says: Well, back when this game was Montezuma's Return we got lots of complaints about torches automatically lighting so we made them a manual light. In this matter it is a lose lose situation. Someones bound to complain no matter which way we go with it, and that is just how it is going to be. As for using torches the entire level is considered to be dark with a few exceptions such as a room with a fire pit, torch, or some other object that would naturally give off light. This isn't exactly that hard to figure out, and isn't rocket science. You are in a dark underground temple and need light constantly to get around. James Said: Speaking of items, I'm not sure I like the idea of hitting enter near an item to pick it up. From the demos and trailers (as well as past iterations of the game) it doesn't seem like you'd ever want to skip or avoid an object. It sounds to me like lots more complexity has been added to the game, which in the end doesn't achieve anything but a multitude of additional keypresses. Tom Says: Lots of time and effort has been put into adding complexity to the game which may be more interesting to some and more frustrating to others. We can't please everyone and we just have to play this one by ear. As far as using enter to pick up items that is what all the Tomb Raider games do, and since this is a spin off of the Tomb Raider series we like to keep that similar feel and keyboard layout if possible.Besides it is just way to easy if Angela picks up anything near by just by walking over it. you need to actually find it with a lit torch and reach out and pick it up.

hi.

[Audyssey] Installing DirectX was Tomb Hunter Beta 1
Hi Greg and all, When you download the DirectX update it will first ask you for the name of a temp directory to unpack files. Note, it is not asking for an installation directory, but mearly a place to unzip the files to. Then, you have to open that directory and run dxsetup.exe to start the installation. I would like to note that the .NET Framework must be present on your system before running the DirectX setup because if it isn't not all the DirectX components will get installed. It just so happens those are the ones we really need. HTH. Greg wrote: Hello, When I go to install direct x it is asking me to specify where I want it to go. Where do I put it?

Re: [Audyssey] Tomb Hunter Beta 1 released!
Hi, Yeah, for some reason escape was giving us fits so it was disabled some time back. It should make a return before the final release though. So we don't forget I just wrote it down to put into the next beta update. Valiant8086 wrote: Hi.

Hi Aaron, We have logged your requests/suggestions and will be attending to them shortly in the next Beta release. As for climbing the rope my guess is you didn't grab hold of it. If Angela is holding a weapon with the torch she can't climb the rope or catch it when jumping. Since that should be obvious you need to make sure your weapons are holstered before trying to climb anything like a rope. Smile. Valiant8086 wrote: Hi. I've found all of the menus to be the same, you can't press escape or anything to back out of them. And when you ask it to quit game you can't get it to just assume yes if you type y or no if you type n. Also, could you turn off music in the main menu and the sounds menu if I have turned it off in settings, or maybe just while in the describe sounds menu. I can't hear the sounds in the menu over the music. Or, maybe you could fade the music completely out, describe the sound, play it, fade the music back in, like light tech interactive does with at least one of it's games. Ok last thing, I can't seem to climb the swinging rope in the second room. I have done it before but started new games and such and it will say swinging rope above and . 0 meters. I press eh eltter i or the up arrow and it won't climb up the rope. What am I missing?

Re: [Audyssey] issue when using the view command in mota
Hi Alex, Alex Said: OK when I use the view command in mota quite a lot of the time, the sounds stop playing in the game for several seconds as if the window loses focus then they come back. Tom Says: Hmmm...That is strange. I have never personally experienced that issue, and it never came up during private testing. Can you give me a list of your system specs such as hardware, including sound card, etc? Alex Said: also, with regards to targeting, I have found quite a lot of the time that its hard to judge when you can open fire with say the pistol. as you get the message that there is something nasty near you, but when you go to fire at it you find your too far away from it. Tom Says: Ok, we can do something about this I suppose. We can work on adding a targeting scope to help you aim better in the next Beta.

Hi, If you are dying when trying to jump a chasm my guess is you are trying to do so with a heavy weapon drawn. First holster it and then try to jump, and see if you do better.

Re: [Audyssey] mota demo
Hi Thomas, I am really enjoying the beta. I do have a few questions and suggestions about torches. When you start the game you should have a torch burning.

Hi Phil, Phil Said: When you start the game you should have a torch burning. Tom Asks: Why? There is one right there not more than three feet away from you.

I suppose we could do that, but I had reasons for not doing it that way. For example, suppose you have a torch when crossing the flooded room.

In that case you might want to keep it ready, but not light it until you climb out onto the far bank.At wich point start up the torch. Phil Asked: Do torches have a time limit?

Re: [Audyssey] potential programmers, was : idea fora new game
Hi Will, Not C++ (C Plus Plus) but C# (C-Sharp). Anyway, most of the exampls in the books will work just fine on Mac and Linux. The only hang up you may encounter is Mono's Cocoa accessibility interface for VoiceOver and Mac OS isn't as well developed as mono's GTK interface for Orca users on Linux. Fortunately, though you won't be working with full forms applications anyway. SDL has its own window drawing toolkit which you will use for Mac/Linux games. william lomas wrote: hi tom but can i still practice the examples given in the windows oriented book on the mac and see how it works? the learning c plus one sounds ideal for a complete beginner like me will On 24 Feb 2009, at 12:42, Thomas Ward wrote: Jesse Liberty. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] issue when using the view command in mota
I haven't had the problem with wasting ammo, seems to be that when I walk into a room the thing is generally close enough to shoot with something, even the shotgun. There is a bug I've noticed though that seems to be random, ocasionally the ledge in the first level is a phantom ledge and you just end up back at the bottom of the rope. Its random for some reason though, so if you restart the game it'll have a chance to actually let you land on the ledge again. -- From: alex wallis alexwallis...@googlemail.com Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 4:54 PM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] issue when using the view command in mota hi.

Re: [Audyssey] mota demo
Hi Thomas, I am assuming that at the start of the game you have just entered a dark room and would have a lit torch in your hand. I imagined that the torches left behind in the tomb would make a smoldering sound as if they were short of oxygen and when you light them they could burst into fire. This could be done using the same torch sound by increasing the pitch. I also have a suggestion about the rope sound. A swinging rope should slow down if a person was climbing it. This could be done by lowering the pitch of the rope sound. I love the reaction words to creatures! and everything else sounds great!

Just a thought: Remember to give some kind of notice that you are about to, for example, give a s p o i l e r so that if someone does not want to be given the solution as to what to do next when someone gets stuck, they can either delete the message or save if in case they get stuck there.

I've managed to reproduce the bug, and have a solution of sorts. If I move the inventory key to something else besides the tab key the bug goes away. If I use tab for inventory list bingo big bug. Since I know what the problem is and have a potential solution anyone have any suggestions for a replacement for the tab key? Some sighted games use escape for inventory and q to quit/exit the game so that is one possability I am throwing out there. Valiant8086 wrote: hi.

Re: [Audyssey] issue when using the view command in mota
Hi, Technically, i am running Windows 7 beta now on one machine and Windows Vista on another, but I have confirmed CPU isn't the issue. The problem is DirectX doesn't release the tab key when Windows wants it when switching Windows so there is a conflict with that key. The easiest and most practical solution is to asign the inventory command to something else like escape and put quit on q. That is likely how i will end up solving this problem in the patch I am working on right now. If you have a desired key suggestion for inventory let me know and I'll consider it.

Hi Phil, Phil Said: I imagined that the torches left behind in the tomb would make a smoldering sound as if they were short of oxygen and when you light them they could burst into fire.

Re: [Audyssey] Mota Question
Sure you can crouch and shoot in real life, but personally I think it makes the game too easy. Nothing can touch you, and if you're out of range you don't even have to rise, you can just keep holding the down arrow and make little hops forward via jump till you're in range. I just went through expert not losing any health, accept for the tiny bit I rose from a crouch just to see how far a skeleton could attack from since I wasn't hitting with my pistol. Or it didn't sound like it anyway. Think I was though. Also, you can rapid fire jump through levels as well, so unless enemies stop you from moving altegother, its possible you could just jump everything and complete the level without touching a single enemy.

Re: [Audyssey] mota demo
what about putting this as a toggel. I like the auto light myself. or if we don't have this some indication that one is or should be used should appear. wouldn't have to be anything fancy, could just be a chime or something. At 12:32 p.m. 25/02/2009, you wrote: Hi James, James Said: I haven't tried the beta yet, but on the torches: I personally think having torches automatically light is helpful in several ways; since they cannot be used at your disgression their placement is a clue to the location of a dark area. You can be pretty sure that it's close to where you got the torch. Tom Says: Well, back when this game was Montezuma's Return we got lots of complaints about torches automatically lighting so we made them a manual light. In this matter it is a lose lose situation. Someones bound to complain no matter which way we go with it, and that is just how it is going to be. As for using torches the entire level is considered to be dark with a few exceptions such as a room with a fire pit, torch, or some other object that would naturally give off light. This isn't exactly that hard to figure out, and isn't rocket science. You are in a dark underground temple and need light constantly to get around. James Said: Speaking of items, I'm not sure I like the idea of hitting enter near an item to pick it up. From the demos and trailers (as well as past iterations of the game) it doesn't seem like you'd ever want to skip or avoid an object. It sounds to me like lots more complexity has been added to the game, which in the end doesn't achieve anything but a multitude of additional keypresses. Tom Says: Lots of time and effort has been put into adding complexity to the game which may be more interesting to some and more frustrating to others. We can't please everyone and we just have to play this one by ear. As far as using enter to pick up items that is what all the Tomb Raider games do, and since this is a spin off of the Tomb Raider series we like to keep that similar feel and keyboard layout if possible.Besides it is just way to easy if Angela picks up anything near by just by walking over it. you need to actually find it with a lit torch and reach out and pick it up.
