Re: [Audyssey] fighting fantasy gamebook
Hi. Firstly, yes, Ffproject do do new books, it's just that they don't come out every day. The last one was footsteps of a hero released at Christmas. As to Age of fable, well it's been through a lot of expantions. Apparently an ending will be added soon when you've completed all the quests, oh, and now there are many more areas to go to than just a city. As I've said before Chronicles of arborell is probably my favourite gamebook related site ever! the background, writing style, everything is perfect. I personally don't mind using the dice program at all, and that goes for all the project.aon books as well. There are actually some really nice gamebooks around it's just that not many have their own dice programs, and some don't even use html they just give you a document and you have to use the find command to read through the sections. For the htmlified ones, check out the gamebooks catagory on audiogames.net, there's a couple of smaller gamebooks I discovered which have their own pages on there. Beware the Grue!

If only the cronicals of Arberelle had a dice manager, it'd be great. I mean I don't know. With the GMA dice program I don't feel like I'm playing a game. With FFProject, I do. Age of Fabel is also great, even though I'm not sure what to do, there doesn't seem to be a set path. I explore the city for some time but than I really don't know how to gain any progress.

In planet of the spiders what word do you say to the door. The one that has a gun pointed at you, I can not figure it out. In wrong way back, which floor is the club on. In I think hellfire, I think at least there is a puzzel which is getting me stumped. Can't figure it out, At the beginning you have 3 doors to go through, good balance or evel. Now I choose say good for example. I get to the part where I am doing a test for munks to get an item. I go through the door I chose before. I get you need atributes for good or whatever And then basically saying I don't and thats the end of the game. How do I exactly get the atribs for the door I chose in the first, I have tried fighting everything thats evil but I obviously am missing something. Because I get the classic, bad command or file name please retry. sort of thing. In a footsteps of a hero, I have once got to the point where I was able to slay the gool, and get the potions. I know green is nothing, yellow is acid and blue is good. Is red crap or is it usefull. Its just random to get the right conditions. In outsider with the necromancer how do I get more health, on the last one I had to not kill the guy because I had only 2 health left. I must admit these online gamebooks really kick some major but. I doodled with braille choose adventure books but you had to have several volumes open and moving around. Its nice to run dnd style books online Really is like if with web interfaces. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org .

Re: [Audyssey] fighting fantasy gamebook
One thing about age of fable is the more you play, the better you get. I've got a saved game now with a character who started out with 10-15 in all stats accept roguery, with extra points in streetwise, heroism and healing. After finishing all game quests with her (particularly visiting the desert temple with the many shells), I've got all her stats up to 18 pluss, accept roguery. As I said, I disagree about requiring a program for stat management, afterall, back in the 80's when gamebooks were most popular, people just used dice and paper. I have in fact got a friend who collects old gamebooks, and have played through a couple with him using the Gma dice program and a word document to keep stats. While I agree it's less convenient, imho it's worth it, - especially for gamebooks like project.aon and the chronicles of arborell. Just my thoughts. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] entomb question
Hi Jason, It is a great game, thanks for making it. I am afraid I still am having a hard time trying to figure out which is better then others. The heirarchy of cloth to metal is easy enough, my problem is the description terms that are used, as well as the heirarchy of armors within their class. For instance the metal armors, my instinct made the weak to strong line up as copper, bronze and then iron. You said that Bronze comes before copper(describing it's hardness) making the line up bronze, copper, then iron. In leather armors, the natural progression seems to be rabbit, deer, wolf, dire wolf and then caveman, however, I don't really know if caveman types are worse or better then wolf types. The same with the cloth types. I have no idea if cloth is worse or better then linen, felt, cloth or whatever. The real problem is that with words, it is impossible to make it obvious for everyone because we all have diffrent idea's about what a material might be like. A number representing the defensive ability of the item attached to each armor would clear everything up immediatly. All one would have to do is compare the defensive number of the armor. I suppose the same could be said of weapons as well. Anyway, that was just my opinion.

The effectiveness of armor is intimately tied to the material's hardness. So all cloth-type armor provides the least protection, then leather types, finally, the metals. The metals use their real-life values, so you can use these as a guide. Copper is harder than bronze (but harder to work with), Iron is harder than copper. What armor you can wear is dependent on what job you chose at character creation. Fighters can wear all metal armor. Thieves can wear leather. The others can wear cloth-types. Hope that helps!

Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] entomb question
Hi Dark, I just read Jason's email about the heirarchy of metal armor and he said that it was bronze, copper then iron. An analyze spell would be very cool, but a character with the fighter job perhaps could judge value of weapons and armor as well, or perhaps a dwarf or blacksmith like race/class might have an innate ability to tell the exact numeric value of some materials, like maybe stone or metals for dwarves, wood types for an elf or druid or ranger type job/race, things of that nature.

[Audyssey] more entombed things
Hello again, I had a few more questions and such. by the way, I was playingthe game and I had accidentally hit the grov key (it is directly under the escape key) and when I pressed it, my character managed to cut his hand off. Also, what does the zombie rot potions do? I have drank them, made members of my party drink them, and I have thrown them at enemies, but they don't appear to do anything. Do the playable characters have a primary and secondary hand, or does it matter which hand you put which weapon? Is there a command to tell how much magic points a magic using character has left? Are the corpses left after a battle useful for anything? thanks, al --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] entomb question
The footstep sounds. A step on stone is a correct movement. A sandy sound means you brushed up against a wall and can't go any more in that direction. There is no penalty for walking into a wall. Some audio games I played would blast this shrieking noise whenever you bumped into a wall. I thought that was ridiculous, so I tried to make it as inoffensive as possible. The stairways are announced when you enter a room with one. They currently don't have any audible sound outside that. I'll see about making the weapons and armor easier to distinquish. Copper is in-fact harder than bronze, but it depends on the alloy. I just took the average hardness for bronze. Making bronze weapons had advantages over copper because adding tin (or lead, or arsenic) lowered the melting temperature of the alloy. This isn't modeled in Entombed, so for now at least, copper is the better metal when compared to bronze. I might make copper edges duller in some future update to simulate some advantages bronze had over copper weapons. Glad you're enjoying it! It's in heavy development right now and probably will be for some time.

[Audyssey] a very! long! shot!
Sorry for this being a somewhat lengthy post, but I'm hoping that my description of this unit will help in getting the assistance I'm looking for. Here goes: I just got a game controller, and haven't a clue as to how to use the darned thing. It is manufactured by Phillips. I bought it at Wal-Mart for roughly $16. It came with a mini CD, which I figure is software? Should this software be installed first, or should the game controller be installed first. There don't seem to be any instructions in the packaging. Here's what the unit looks like: There is a handle at each side that is facing me if the unit is sitting on the table. Inward from these, there are 2 knobs that feel sort of felt covered. To the left of the leftmost one, there is a cross, any of the four lengths can be depressed. Between the 2 knobs are 4 buttons in a diamond pattern, with the button on the right center pointing to the right and the other 3 buttons being sort of oblong shaped, but they are not toggles. Above this diamond pattern are 2 small round buttons, with sort of a bubble, possibly a small screen between them. To the right of the right-hand knob is another diamond pattern of 4 buttons which are larger than those near the left knob. These are round in shape. Now, along the forward edge of the unit, in front of the handles I mentioned at the top of this paragraph, there are 4 buttons, probably 2 for each of the joysticks. Also on this forward edge is a switch that is not a toggle. It can be pulled to the left as you hold the unit in your hands. This switch will spring back to the right if you release it. The unit did not come with a USB cable, but I think I have one around here somewhere. I want to start using this little beast on games for the blind that can be operated by it, so any thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated.

[Audyssey] Ocean Sky VIP Pocket Golf
Hi Folks, I read about this golf game for cell phones on Fred's Head: Ocean Sky VIP Pocket Golf http://www.oceansky.us/shopgolf.php VIP Pocket Golf is a game designed for the Windows Mobile platform, with visually impaired users in mind! Play 18 wholes of golf, on any of four difficulty levels, trying to set a high score and earn money towards becoming a true VIP Golf Pro! This program has been tested with the Mobile Speak software, and runs smoothly in conjunction with the TTS engine. Even sighted people can play Pocket Golf, thanks to the few visual elements that have been incorporated into the software. For the visually impaired, a TTS will be able to speak the status, progress, menus and prompts in the game. How the game works: The game uses various sounds to guide the user during gameplay. Most notably, a rising tone is used to indicate the power of the swing which helps the user gauge how far they'd like the ball to travel. For example, for maximum power/distance, the user will wait until the rising tone reaches its highest pitch to click the swing key to launch the ball to the max distance possible with the selected club. Edit boxes are used to display relevant information to the user. The user will use the Tab key on the device to navigate these edit boxes. Examples: Box 1 shows your current score. Box 2 shows the title of the club in use. Box 3 shows the max distance possible with the selected club. Box 4 shows The predicted par for the current whole. Box 5 shows the number of the whole you are playing (E.G: whole #4 out of 18). Box 6 shows the distance remaining towards the green. Box 7 shows the number of swings you've taken. (The Tab key will cycle through these boxes in order from 1-7.) Game Features: You can create user profiles, so multiple people can play on the same device! You can save a game and reload them! So, you can pickup where you left off. Four difficulty levels are available, including: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert. (Medium is the default setting.) Money will be earned with a par or better on each whole. This money can be used in the Pro Shop, to upgrade clubs, golf balls, and other surprise items for improved play. You will encounter various traps during gameplay. Water and sand traps are used to stump the user along the way. Users will likely remember where these traps are located, so they can learn to avoid them in the future. However, always be ware of the squirrels who live on the golf course. Initially, two courses are offered with the game. However, a separate add-on will allow users to create personalized courses; complete with custom titles, distance and trap details. They will be able to share these with other VIP Pocket Golf players!

Also on this forward edge is a switch that is not a toggle. It can be pulled to the left as you hold the unit in your hands. This switch will spring back to the right if you release it. The unit did not come with a USB cable, but I think I have one around here somewhere. I want to start using this little beast on games for the blind that can be operated by it, so any thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. --- If guns cause crime, pencils cause misspelled words. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] more entombed things
Hi, The key below escape is a key I use for testing. I sometimes forget to disable it. It's not used for anything in normal game play. Zombie Rot potions cure zombie rot. Zombie rot used to be a serious plague in earlier versions of Entombed, but it doesn't show up much (or at all) in the new version. It will certainly have another outbreak in the future. Being afflicted with Zombie Rot is a serious condition that should be treated immediately. Your character has no hand preference. They tend to hold things in their left hand because it's the first choice when wielding weapons. No magic points command yet, but I'll fix that in the future. You start with 100. Every spell currently costs 10. You can replenish them by resting. I plead the 5th on corpses and body parts. They may or may not be useful.

Also, what does the zombie rot potions do? I have drank them, made members of my party drink them, and I have thrown them at enemies, but they don't appear to do anything. Do the playable characters have a primary and secondary hand, or does it matter which hand you put which weapon? Is there a command to tell how much magic points a magic using character has left? Are the corpses left after a battle useful for anything? thanks, al --- --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
Hi, I am currently using Dragon NaturallySpeaking and J-say. I have been looking around to see which games I could play using Dragon NaturallySpeaking. one possible option is lone woolf from GMA games. I am open to trying other options. For that matter, I had considered trying mysteries of the ancients but, that requires holding down keys which is a tad tricky to do with Dragon at this time.

Tom. Intreaguing indeed. I certainly take the point about adding captioning for sounds in games being comparatively symple, but I believe the problem here is that this isn't often done, and as games get more inclined to use full animated cutscenes or spoken dialogue people with hereing imparements are having more problems. Perception of disability and what harm it precisely does is actually part of my phd thesis, sinse i'm attempting to formulate a new deffinition and approach for looking at disability which can be then used in solving certain problems. One odd thing though, is that blindness is rarely referenced in the academic literature on disability itself. There's a lot said about deafness, and quite a bit about paraplegia, but comparatively litle on blindness, and I do admit this contributes to my belief about game access issues for those disabilities being more obviously addressed by devs. Also, there is the question of what games are looked at. I'd guess interactive fiction games for example would be near impossible for someone who couldn't quickly use the keyboard, and while they could play many online games, and indeed some like the flash ones which are not Vi accessible, they'd have issues every time they were required to fill in a text field. while I know there are solutions to this sort of problem, how efficient they might be, and how much effort they take to work could be another matter.

[Audyssey] retractable PC controller
I asked how to use my game controller in a previous post, and have now found out that it a Phillips SGC2909 retractable PC controller. The manual that was loaded when I did the installation is in .pdf format, which, to say the least, I do not like. So far, I can find nothing about this game controller on The Net using Google. --- If guns cause crime, pencils cause misspelled words. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Windows/Linux Interactive Fiction Interpretors
Hey all, What interactive fiction interpretors are you WIndows and Linux users using these days? For Linux, we're talking something that works well with Orca. With Windows, something that just works well. Something that works well with ZMachine games and their derived formats, like Z3, Z5, Glulx, and so on. Other formats are a bonus. The Mac has a spectacular interpretor, but I've been so far out of the loop with interactive fiction for so long, I'm wondering where Windows and Linux stand these days.

Re: [Audyssey] Windows/Linux Interactive Fiction Interpretors
Hi there, I'm a Linux user myself, and can tell you that as far as I know, Orca is out of luck IF-wise. That being said, I do like good old Frotz for the Z-machine, and Glulxe or Git when compiled with ncurses support for Glulx. Frobtads works wonderfully for Tads 2 an 3 games. I am using Speakup at the console, if this helps.
