Re: [Audyssey] One final note about connecting to simutronics muds was: Re: Simutronics Gemstone IV with ZMud, has anyone played this mud?
Hmm, I have zmud and I used to have a lisence for it, but lost it a long time ago, does anyone know how I can find out what it is again, or even if it will still work? On 9/12/09, Jeremy Hartley jeremyhart...@comcast.net wrote: This message goes along with the last message I sent answering the question of where to find the connection to Simutronics Gemstone IV from within ZMud. Unfortunately, as I was sending this last bit of info to the list, my computer rebooted, so I don't think it went through. Also, I forgot to trim the message size down, but there you go. Here is what I meant to post. I should say also that you need to have an account with play.net before you even attempt to connect to the mud with ZMud. The reason for this is because you are first directed to the simutronics login server which asks for your username and password. Note, this is not the same as your mud character name! So you should go to play.net and create an account first. You get a 30 day trial when you sign up, and you can cancel on the site at any time before then. Last note, I don't think you can just create a regular play.net account from within ZMud. I just signed up with the simutronics site and then connected with ZMud, so I could be mistaken.

Re: [Audyssey] super egg hunt 1.3
Hi, I'd also like to point out that software developers, as a rule, let you know when there is something significant to report. Otherwise you can assume he is either busy with his personal life, working on it, there is no new news to be had, whatever. Badgering the developer for news isn't exactly going to produce the results you seak, and may just end up ticking off the developer in the process. I can't say how many times I've been asked when the next update for Mysteries of the Ancients will be out. I haven't exactly set a date in stone, and at best my answer is I am working on it, and sometimes I will drop a couple of nuggets of bugs I've recently fixed. That probably isn't the answer the person was looking for, but I didn't have any answer to give him/her in the first place. Charles Rivard wrote: Thanks for saying this.

Re: [Audyssey] game website question?
Hi Michael, I'm not sure about the specific games you are asking about, but I always check sights like gamefaqs.com and gamespot.com for the latest walkthroughs, cheats, and game information. Depending on who wrote the walkthrough they will explain information like that in some detail. If not you can always sign up for the gamespot.com forums and see if there is anyone who will take the time to explain it to you. Usually the people on gamespot.com are friendly to a blind player. I've heard, but have no experience, that the gamefaq.com forums aren't as friendly or understanding.

Re: [Audyssey] accessible mario game
Hi Dan, Yes, there was an accessible Mario game created by Dragon Slayer Games quite a while back. However, having played the so-called accessible Mario game and the original I can tell you that the accessible version was nothing really like the real Mario brothers. Plus it wasn't as accessible as it could have been. Personally I'd give it a pass even if you could find it. dan wrote: hey guys. i heard a few days ago from somewhere that there is an accessible version of mario out there. when i asked the person where to get it, she said she couldn't remember. do any of you know where to find it? thanks --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] pack man question
Hi Nicol, I think I can answer this one for Phil. It is actually pretty simple in this case. Some game companies are more protective than others regarding their copyrights. Activision, the current copyright holder of various Atari games, has never been too protective of their older copyrights such as Packman, Asteroids, etc. I think they realised that they aren't making much money off of those games these days anyway, and turn a blind eye to clones and third-party games baring the Packman and Asteroids trademarks. Besides outright theft of the games using Atari emulators there are several Linux clones like KDE Packman, Bomberman, Breakout, Asteroids, and so on that are officially copyright infringement, Activision could take action, but have never said anything about them. So what can you assume? Well, obviously there is always the risk Activision could take action, but it is unlikely they will. If it is a remote possability they will attack the mainstream open source comunity with a law suit it is even less likely they would go after a single blind developer which would be even less productive.

Re: [Audyssey] atari games
THa pacman game is based on the Arcade version, not the Atari one. I'm sure it would be possible to make accessible games based on Frogger, Donkey Kong and Cosmic Ark, but as has been pointed out numorous times you really have to be careful with that. Phil's been lucky since nobody's contacted him about either Pacman or Sarah, but as Thomas Ward could tell you you can't count on that. He had at least one developer serve him with a cease and desist for Montezuma's Return and possibly Montezuma's Revenge as well., hence Mysteries of the Ancients.

My in-laws are a prime example of the type of bigots that they think they are the judge, jury, and executioner on everything and anything regardless if they know anything factual about it or not. Such condemning evidence can come from a brief commercial, what roomers they have heard, or another Christians opinion on the subject. in other words they draw their conclusions not on facts but on other's subjective opinions, comments, and their own bias towards this or that. For example, when I first met my wife her family and I got into a topic about movies, entertainment, etc. I made the mistake of mentioning i was a big fan of Star Wars. Her parents started in on me right away that Star Wars was evil, Satanic, and they had devils in it, etc. It was obvious from the conversation that they didn't have a clue what Star Wars was about, and they had a subjective notion based on completely false information. After arguing back and forth for a while I soon discovered they had seen a commercial for the Phantom menace where they had seen a brief clip of Darth Maul. They assumed because Darth Maul looked like a devil that he was to play the part of Satan in the movie. Their conclusion was totally false, of course, but that's how easily they were convinced Star Wars is Satanic. My point is that if people like that want to be taken seriously when discussing the morality of games, movies, books, whatever they first have to get their facts straight. Only facts, not assumptions, will be a more effective tool in making their argument and will strengthen their case. Simply stating game x, movie x, or book x is evil without offering up real facts or evidence to back up their opinion is meaningless.

Bigottry comes with a lot of prejudice, be it games or against other minority people. It is probably best to just ignore such attempts and not give it acknowledgement by even bother discussing them. That just makes them think one is taking them seriously. chrissy -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Munawar Bijani Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 2:44 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] My Thoughts: Re: the Jehovah's witnesses viewpoint on gaming Hi, The articles appeared to have no credible information at all; from start to finish, they kept naming one youth who said this or that.

Re: [Audyssey] Simutronics Gemstone IV with ZMud, has anyone played this mud?
I should say also that you need to have an account with play.net before you even attempt to connect to the mud with ZMud. The reason for this is because you are first directed to the simutronics login server which asks for your username and password. Note, this is not the same as your mud character name! So you should go to play.net and create an account first. You get a 30 day trial when you sign up, and you can cancel on the site at any time before then. Last note, I don't think you can just create a regular play.net account from within ZMud. I just signed up with the simutronics site and then connected with ZMud, so I could be mistaken.

You have to go to file|new|new character, and then select Gemstone III from the list of muds. Keep in mind though, that this is not a list box, jaws may not say anything when you land on it, but just hit your up and down arrow keys to hear the muds. You can also type the first letter of a mud. Notice I said you will need to select the Gemstone III selection, rather than Gemstone IV. This, I think, is because III and IV were on the same server. But, rest assured, you do in fact connect to GemStone IV even though you are according to ZMud connecting to GemStone III. grin Jeremy - Original Message - From: James Howard coldshadow...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, September 12, 2009 4:23 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Simutronics Gemstone IV with ZMud,has anyone played this mud?

Hello folks, I stumbled on the Simutronics muds, and decided to check out the Gemstone IV mud. From what I have been able to gather, the front end clients they offer such as wizard and stormfront are not the most speech friendly programs out there. grin I did find out that zmud has support for these games. I am currently using jaws 10 with zmud 7.21, and I must say that when using jaws with screen echo set to all, I find that zmud does a really good job at rebuffering the screen. Jaws doesn't seem to repeat lines, and it does appear to read all the new information that comes in. Of course, you have to use the jaws cursor to review the screen, and when a new line of text comes in the screen will scroll, making it sometimes dificult to keep on the same line. All that said, I am managing quite nicely with the beginning quests. I was just wondering if any folks on this list have played the Simutronics games with zmud, specifically Gemstone IV, and may have some more tips they could share? Before anyone asks, due to the nature of the login and authentication of simutronics games, you can't use other clients such as VIP Mud or Mushclient to play. At least this is my understanding.

Re: [Audyssey] mud games and topspeed
Sounds like window-eyes is reading text on the screen by itself. Typically, screen readers do not read the mt output window automatically. It could be that window-eyes is set to read all text rather than just highlighted text. I don't know very much about window-eyes, but I believe the command to change that setting has the letter s in it. It's something like insert+ctrl+s or something. It might also be that the mud to which you are connecting is highlighting stuff. I believe you mentioned you are working with Alter Aeon. It could be that you have color turned on on alter aeon and the mud is highlighting sertain strings of text and window-eyes is reading those highlighted strings automatically as they move around on the screen. If this is possibly the problem, you can type color and press enter. it should say Ansi color off. If it doesn't, type color a second time. It should say it this time. - Original Message - From: sal To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 10:04 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] mud games and topspeed it works but the problem I am having is that win eyes does not work as good with it like it use to. for instance, I am trying to head north, and it still repeats the same stuff up abov instead of going along with the input I put on here. hope you can understand what I am saying. thanks Sal - Original Message - From: Valiant8086 valiant8...@lavabit.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 6:36 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] mud games and topspeed hi. try pressing ctrl+f2 repeatedly until you get Default speech output is now sent to screen readers. that should fix it.

Is there some way to get to the old ACE Games site? If so, I would like to know, since I had this Mario game up until my computer crashed a few weeks ago.
