However, before I do I want to make sure the list of changes, bug fixes, etc covers most of the suggestions and bug reports reported over the last couple of months. I've got a couple of miner updates still in the works but this pretty much covers the changes that will you will see in the next release. Any suggestions, comments, let me know before I make the release. What's New Converted constants to enumerated constants. Increased enemy stamina. Added extra pistol ammo. Updated game intro. Resolved issues with jumping using a joystick or game pad. You can now use the escape button on any joystick or game pad to quit the game. You can once again use the escape key on the keyboard to exit the game. When using a joystick or game pad button 1 can now be used to pick up items or open doors when weapons are holstered. Draw weapon to fire. The spacebar now picks up items and opens doors when weapons are holstered, and fires the current weapon when weapons are drawn. Fixed the problem with jump up not always grabbing the rope. It is no longer possible to draw a weapon while hanging from a rope. Fixed bug when player strength gets stuck at 83%. Fixed bug where Angela's comments get interrupted by status messages. Menu music is now lowered when in the sound descriptions menu. Updated load game menu. Updated save game menu. You can now load and save games while in standard game mode. Placed gold and silver keys in the underground lake. Added number pad support.

[Audyssey] Moderator's note: new hosting not working out
Hello everyone. I am sorry to report that the hosting I just switched the audyssey server is not going to pan out. It turns out there was some small writing in the terms of service which state that any time there are more than 50 messages per day for the entire account, there will be additional charges for extra bandwidth and mail server usage. So unfortunately I'm back to hunting for a new hosting company. The cool thing is that I'm still within my grace period so can back out of this hosting company as long as I do so within the next 5 days. I don't want to go back to the one I had before because I'm limited in the number of mailing lists I can have and I need at least 3, and most of the other web hosting providers won't allow a list of this size with this much traffic. Anyone rememberer when we switched to Bluehost for a bit? Messages were limited to 250 per hour, this meant that the list got quickly bogged down. Just wanted to update everyone on this and I'll post later when and if I have an update on this. Many thanks. -- Raul A.

[Audyssey] legends of zork is live
Hello everyone. This morning, I played my first cession of Legends of Zork. I created my first character, Eldrex. He's a recently fired magic sword salesman. I've managed to advance two levels and survive my first day's explorations of the dark forest near the white house. The game is completely playable for us blind Zork fans. However, when it comes to more minor points like choosing your character avatar, there are no alt tags on the choices. I have no idea whether what I perceive as a buff, rough and ready male adventurer is depicted visually as a wafer-thin fashion model. The map is certainly functional enough for us as the locations near enough to travel to are properly labelled. Exploration doesn't rely on seeing anything. You just click on the explore the dark forest or a similar link in order to search an area and have encounters. It's a lot like Legend of the Green Dragon in that regard. I hope those who are interested will try out this new browser based online game and take the time to send feedback to the developers. Happy adventures, everyone.

[Audyssey] Rail racer - looking for a way to avoid losing money whilst configuring a control pad
Hi all, I purchased Rail Racer a week ago, finally getting a chance to sit down with it now. So, I've won a few races with the keyboard, won a few with the mouse, but seeing as I'm a console boy at heart and I found a cheapo USB controller I never knew I had earlier, I thought I'd have a crack at using that. I would stick with the mouse, but I was racing using one of those laptop trackpad style setups and I'm not sure it actually gave me any more control. So, my question is... is there a way to quit a race without forfitting and losing the entry fee? Reason I ask is, this pad doesn't seem to be playing ball particularly well yet, and I'm losing stupid amounts of money here by reconfiguring testing and forfitting upon failure each time.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator's note: new hosting not working out
Stuff like this is why I feel that fine print in contracts should be illegal. It should all be in the same sized print so that a fast one cannot be pulled on people. If it takes more paper to be ethical, so be it. I'm not saying that the provider is dishonest, but a lot of unethical business practices do exist, and this is one of them.

I am sorry to report that the hosting I just switched the audyssey server is not going to pan out. It turns out there was some small writing in the terms of service which state that any time there are more than 50 messages per day for the entire account, there will be additional charges for extra bandwidth and mail server usage. So unfortunately I'm back to hunting for a new hosting company. The cool thing is that I'm still within my grace period so can back out of this hosting company as long as I do so within the next 5 days. I don't want to go back to the one I had before because I'm limited in the number of mailing lists I can have and I need at least 3, and most of the other web hosting providers won't allow a list of this size with this much traffic. Anyone rememberer when we switched to Bluehost for a bit? Messages were limited to 250 per hour, this meant that the list got quickly bogged down. Just wanted to update everyone on this and I'll post later when and if I have an update on this. Many thanks. -- Raul A.

Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] legends of zork is live

[Audyssey] more entombed things
Just wanted too mention a couple of things noticed about entombed for the powers that be. grin. 1. When using harm or lightning, sometimes the damage and the body part hit are not mentioned. Damage is done, but for whatever reason nothing else is announced. 2. had a fighter and a pet, and fought a zombie. The zombie was able to be hit, and thru the fight managed to mangle all of it's limbs, except his head was critical. Basically, the thing was a head and a torso. Well, in attempting to finish it off, I was blocked. I thought that it was odd that a limbless unmoving target would be hard to hit, I attacked again. Again Imissed or was blocked. I did flurry, and my pet attacked it, and I just could not hit this thing! I got a bad flashback of a certain black knight in a Monty Python movie saying, I'll bite your knees off!. lol The first zombie I fled from, after whiffing out after a solid dozen or more attempted attacks. Later on I ran into a zombie with the same exact condition. That second one I threw various things on it which eventually destroyed it. I then went on to explore some new areas and I ran into the same zombie two more times before I finally gave up on that game. I know I was in a new area, and that the thing didn't have any legs, so I guess that is why I am reporting it here. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Beta 4 Released
Hi Will, I am planning on adding new levels to the game as early as next week. I think the game engine is fairly complete now, and I can focus on finishing up the game, adding the rest of the levels, etc at this point. As for when the public will get to actually play those levels that will largely depend on if they are on preorder status or not. Thos currently on preorder status will be able to play additional levels as soon as i complete the game's registration system, and e-mail everyone their product keys. However, for security purposes I am holding product keys close until I am nearly done with the game. I'd really hate to see someone crack, pirate, the game before I even had a chanse to take a single new order for it. william lomas wrote: ah lol nah ya havent as ya said in a prevous mail it would be out later in the eek, smile when do you envissage other levels tom beeing available to play since playing level 1 is getting old now, smile, it to easy however, I know you need the engine stable first Will --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Rail racer - looking for a way to avoid losing money whilst configuring a control pad
well on topspeed I made a track that was rediculously long. My reason was not to race, its to long for a real race. but I wanted to test all the new stupid mods of cars. the cars themselves are not stupid but really are to fast some of them and some are good ideas but take to long to get up to speed.

I think the game engine is fairly complete now, and I can focus on finishing up the game, adding the rest of the levels, etc at this point. As for when the public will get to actually play those levels that will largely depend on if they are on preorder status or not. Thos currently on preorder status will be able to play additional levels as soon as i complete the game's registration system, and e-mail everyone their product keys. However, for security purposes I am holding product keys close until I am nearly done with the game. I'd really hate to see someone crack, pirate, the game before I even had a chanse to take a single new order for it. william lomas wrote: ah lol nah ya havent as ya said in a prevous mail it would be out later in the eek, smile when do you envissage other levels tom beeing available to play since playing level 1 is getting old now, smile, it to easy however, I know you need the engine stable first Will --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] legends of zork is live
Kingdom of Loathing is supposed to keep you entertained for just a few minutes ad ay as well, and they have an entire plot, backstory and exploration system.
