Re: [Audyssey] using the deck gun with LW
The info on whether you are long, which means that your barrel is too high, or short, which means that your barrel is too low, is constantly changing if you or the enemy is moving. The same goes for if the target is to your left, p, or to your right, s. P is for port, and S is for starboard. Use the left or right arrows to move your gun left or right, and the up or down arrows to raise or lower the gun as needed. These will be in small movements. For larger movements for quick aiming, use the control key along with those arrow keys. Just like when using torpedoes, fire at the highest beep. With the deck gun, keep adjusting your aim and keep firing, as you do have unlimited ammunition. --- Laughter is the best medicine.

Re: [Audyssey] The fun little mouse, was:: MOTA Mouse Support
Yah, I agree with Dark here, the mouse shouldn't be used just as a replacement for keys only. The unique abilities of the mouse should be utilized as much as possible to take advantage of its possibilities, something that is going to take thinking outside the box. I think Thomas mentioned using the mous buttons to jump, but why not have the left button fire the weapon, scroll wheel change inventory, and right button holster and unholster weapon? Then a modifier key could be used for jumping in conjunction with the mouse. Just a suggestion, but there are all kinds of possibilities that would attract the gamer to use the mouse if it were more than a simple replacement for pressing keys.

Re: [Audyssey] The fun little mouse, was:: MOTA Mouse Support
As I said Tom, this probably will just end up being a "suck it and see" type of question. currently my opinion is that the mouse is a more specialized form of control and useable for specific sorts of in game challenges, precise targiting or use as a throtle. If people would prefer to use a mouse in a space invaders game, fair enough if the option is there. Currently though, I'm less keen on the mouse being simply a substitute control method. Just as the mouse requires different sorts of physical action, it should be suted to those sorts of actions. if the mouse is used in a game, i'd prefer it to be used with a distinct and definite use in mind specific to the control method of a mouse, such as that seen in the gestures game, or planned in Che's fighting game. It just strikes me using the mouse to move in streight lines in a game with basic controls and targiting is something of overkill. Just my opinion though, and if a game is developed with mouse support I'm always ready to give it a try, I'd just prefer it personally if mouse support was used to it's fullest extent in games, not merely becoming a substitute for keyboards.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Mouse Support
hi tohmas if built into the game as additional option, I am all for it. I just would not be happy with a game that did not support keyboard as an option. here on my pc I don't even have a mouse hooked up but I do own one. grin i once tried a game on the net with mouse support and somehow always managed to lose track of where it (cursor) was and ran out of space on the desk here lol. but i understand what you are saying. since mota is not a three dimensional game controlling with a mouse would not be so hard I assume. so make it an option in the final game and I promise to try this :) regards chrissy - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 8:30 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Mouse Support Hi Chrissy, It may be that many sighted games use it for aiming and shooting, but I can definitely say here that the mouse is a good input device for navigating around. In fact, it is not navigation that is the problem here with the mouse. I have basic navigation support in the game, that is disabled in the public beta, which works quite well. When it works you get a lot more precise and responsive results from the mouse. That's why I am interested in supporting it as well as a triditional keyboard. As far as being confused by the mouse I'm not really certain what you mean by that. In a game like Mysteries of the Ancients the mouse motion is very simple/straight forward. When you want to walk left drag the mouse left, drag the mouse right to walk right, push foward to climb, and pull back to decend. Use a left/right button to jump or run at the same time of moving in that direction and it should do it. However, it is the buttons that are giving me grief. If I can fix that issue I think most people would agree, once they tried it, that it would be a very good input alternative to the keyboard.

Re: [Audyssey] The fun little mouse, was:: MOTA Mouse Support
Hi Dark, Well, the issue isn't about weather a certain game or type of game requires a mouse but the option or availability to use the mouse as a secondary input device. Take a game like Troopenum. It certainly does not need a mouse to play. Most would agree joystick and keyboard input is fine. Still if the mouse was available as an input device it would add something extra to the experience. A player could simply drag the mouse left/right to target the enemy ships and press the left button to fire. The right button could toggle through your weapons. A handy, simple, and responsive interface wrapped up in one. My point is that games do not have to be difficult to get something out of having a mouse as an input device. Plus these days just about everyone has a mouse where joysticks is an added expense. So it may save a few bucks if the user is ok with the mouse and doesn't want to pay for a joystick up front. dark wrote: There are some pretty nifty games I've heard of which use the mouse or other relative in put devices to control the character. take for example the old spindizy games on the amigar, which used either a mouse or a trackball to tilt the level around and make a pinball fall into holes. I've also heard of several scrolling shooters flying spaceships which use the mouse as a smoother and more streamline control method for the main ship. that being said though, imho a platform game where the concentration is on moving and climing in streight lines doesn't require a mouse particularly. As I said though, as a lover of joysticks, and reluctantly a keyboard, I'm probably heavily biased on this point.

Re: [Audyssey] what is DirectX?
Hi Anthony, DirectX is a very important set of multimedia components developed by Microsoft for Windows games. It handles various aspects of both accessible and mainstream games such as handling joysticks, keyboard input, mouse input, audio, 3d graphics, you name it. It is a necessity if you are going to be playing games on the Windows platform.

Re: [Audyssey] I give!!!!
Hi Tony, Before you decide to toss in the towel let's try and trouble shoot this problem shall we? Like what exactly is happening when you install the games. What steps have you done so far and what were your results. Understand there is lots of room for error here since you aren't experienced with audio games, installing them, etc and we need details, details, details. Some other things to think about. When was the last time you upgraded Windows? Do you have the latest DirectX components? Does your computer meet all requirements listed for the game or games? Point I am getting at there could be some very common computer issues here that could be giving you problems such as not having a new enough DirectX release, maybe your Windows version is out of date and requires patches from Microsoft to be downloaded/installed, etc. Some, probably, most of us apply DirectX upgrades, Windows updates, etc frequently so usually don't run into issues with these games.

Re: [Audyssey] directx march
Hi Shaun, If you are talking about the new x3d math library that ships with DirectX (March 2009) it is a very handy library for C++ game developers. It handles all kinds of 3d calculations with a special emphasis on 3d graphics of course. The x3d audio component, X3DAudio, has been around for the last two or three releases, but that has very good 3d audio supportwhich again a C++ game developer can use. Obviously, sooner or later these components will be integrated into the XNA Framework for .NET game developers. One other update to the March 2009 release is Microsoft has finally replaced DirectDraw with a new component called Direct2D. It works similar to Direct3D, but is designed for games' that use 2d graphics. HTH shaun everiss wrote: Hi. just got the directx march 09 update.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Mouse Support
Hi Che, Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try and let you know the results. Smile. Che wrote: I am answering this on list in the hopes it might help other developers as well. To trap the mouse, simply reset its coordinates to wherever you want it locked every cycle. If your form pops up at mid screen with a resolution of 500, 500 for example, lock it to 500 -500 and you should be golden, just get the relative change each cycle from that point. I'm recalling the coordinate system off the top of my head here, but you get the idea I'm sure. You will have to play around with capturing its coordinates and determining how much movement to translate, depending on how often you ping it but there isn't much to that really , jus throw a multiplier variable in there that you can adjust while playing until you get it set to what you want. Like wise, this variable can be adjusted in options to allow the player to set their own mouse sensitivity in game. If you aren't using a hard cycle, then just give the mous its own thread and timer and away you go. There really isn't much to it once you get it locked down every cycle.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Mouse Support
Hi Chrissy, It may be that many sighted games use it for aiming and shooting, but I can definitely say here that the mouse is a good input device for navigating around. In fact, it is not navigation that is the problem here with the mouse. I have basic navigation support in the game, that is disabled in the public beta, which works quite well. When it works you get a lot more precise and responsive results from the mouse. That's why I am interested in supporting it as well as a triditional keyboard. As far as being confused by the mouse I'm not really certain what you mean by that. In a game like Mysteries of the Ancients the mouse motion is very simple/straight forward. When you want to walk left drag the mouse left, drag the mouse right to walk right, push foward to climb, and pull back to decend. Use a left/right button to jump or run at the same time of moving in that direction and it should do it. However, it is the buttons that are giving me grief. If I can fix that issue I think most people would agree, once they tried it, that it would be a very good input alternative to the keyboard. Smile. Chrissy wrote: in regular games for sseing gamers the mouse is never used for moving your character but more for aimimg and shooting and such. so to me it would not make a lot of sense to try and navigate with a mouse at all. most times that mouse stuff confused the heck out of me. but that is just personal opinion. i like movement with arrow keys, works fine for me. regards chrissy --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] The fun little mouse, was:: MOTA Mouse Support
Hi James, I'm not sure how much general mouse experience you have had, but most mouse gamers, users, etc don't need a very large area to move the mouse in. They keep there wrist stationed on there desk and move the mouse to the left or right. If they reach the end of there mouse matt they pick it up, move it left/right, set it down, and then continue in the direction they were moving before. This takes maybe a second to perform. Having tested this with MOTA it takes a second to get the hang of, but works fair enough. James Dietz wrote: I'm actually curious to find out how Thomas implemented the mouse to control the character's running. Would I continuously have to move the mouse to the right? If so I don't think I'd have a large enough desk to avoid the need to pick it up occasionally. That'd obviously work better with a trackball, but I'd rather use a keyboard or joystick for something like character movement if I'd have to continuously move the mouse in the direction I want to move. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] I give!!!!
Well I'm on approximately my 7 or 8th day of trying to experience the wonderful world of audio games (snicker). Of the two games I have downloaded haven't heard one peep except for my own screen reader. the games are from the audiogames list World of legends and Descent into madness (the latter appropriate for the situation). Guess it just isn't happening. Haven't worked this hard since trying to pull my pet bob cat out of a fifty foot well by his tail.(snicker). Well if I can't figure it out soon I may just decide to remove myself from your list and give up.

Re: [Audyssey] Sega games site
The emulator is mostly accessible, comes with your basic windows installer. I don't remember much about it since its been quite a while since I played with this site, but they keyboard layout was fairly smoothe, and there's plenty of old games to mess around with. -- From: "Darren Harris" Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 5:05 AM To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Sega games site So how does the emulator work what do you have to do?

Well, Sega has just launched a free site where you can play the old games, and, for a subscription, you have access to even more titles, like Sonic, etc. www.playsega.com I found my old Sega Megadrive. I'd love to get some more games for it, did anyone of you guys have them and what games were accessible and did you guys like to play? My friend and I have tried Mortal Combat 3 (remember how cool it was that we thought it was great when it talked a bit?), Toughman Boxing, and WWF Arcade Game.

I actually downloaded the first of the three games Fireman. I have to honestly admit I played four times two with the keyboard and two with the mouse.

I realize not a lot of you have used the mouse to play games, given the very few available, but I can tell you, we're missing out on a very good input device for the blind, and I really don't understand why the resistance. Is it just because it is something different that folks haven't done before? Are folks afraid they can't learn to use it? What is the thinking out there? I for one hate playing exclusively with the keyboard, there is just no subtlety of control there, but with the mouse you have an entirely new dimension of control if it is programmed right. For instance, I am still kicking around the idea of doing a mouse driven golf game. Imagine how cool it would be to have control of your golf club speed depending on how fast you moved the mouse. It would feel a lot more like actually playing golf instead of trying to hit a moving target with a dart, as is the case with a keyboard setup. No slam meant to Jim's golf game here, obviously what he has created has been accepted and played by throngs of accessible gamers and my hats off to him for providing it for free, and coming up with an interface that works very well. But my point is, we're limiting ourselves for no good reason here, and I wish someone would explain to me why it is taking so long to get accessible gamers to accept the mouse as a primary input device. I'm not trying to come down on anyones opinions here, but when I see folks not taking advantage of something that is capable of improving things on any level, I just have to scratch my head and wonder why.

[Audyssey] experimental games
Hi all Just wondering if anyone else has recently seemed to have trouble with the experimental game Leap. I tried to get it going. The intro plays with no problem and yes I've unloaded Jaws. It tells me to hit the space bar, but unless I'm supposed to wait awhile it just seems to stop at that point. I quite liked playing it any suggestions welcome.
