Re: [Audyssey] Interactive fiction
Will again just ask if anyone knows how to get winfrotz TTS working if it renders only startup errors? Aside from it, have tried out varous other interpreters like windows glulx, filfre etc. and while with them I have to use the jaws cursor to read the text, they work, but where winfrotz TTS worked in the past, it won't even try run now, whereas the not too useful standard winfrotz does run.

well I didn't care for zork myself dungeon and dunjin were my things I played. on that note is there any way to play agt files in windows like you play other files I have tads and frotz working hugo and glulx which I am happy using right now but agt and maybe a windows advint interpreter would make a cool addition for the stuff that uses it. unfortunately there are several dos games I know which I can't play but stil the majority is playable now. To be honest haiden, I never got on well with zork, but then again I personally prefer if games which have more background than just go into the dungeon and grab treasures and more than random puzles. In fact I must admit, some if puzles just irritate me for their total lack of logic. ah, so I was supposed to open the catch on the rusty door by blowing the whistle at the bird to scare it off, getting the egg from the nest, then droping the newspaper and twigs on the floor and using the magnifying glass to focus sunlight, then putting the dustbin lid ontop, dropping in the egg, frying it and using it to greace the rusty latch! how silly of me not to realize that perfectly rational change of logic! I must confess this is why I don't really play much If anymore, sinse it's too much trouble to try and filter the to me, interesting exploration and story based stuff from all the games based on absurd puzles which i then need to look at a walkthrough to guess.

Re: [Audyssey] multiple player game
Hi, In deed. Unfortunately WWE especially is very controling regarding their copyrights. I'm not sure I could legally get away with using actual super stars names without getting in serious hot water. I guess if you or I wrote a wrestling game all of the wrestlers in the game would have to have fake names. Anyway, I know what you mean. I like Nascar racing too, and that's the reason I took control over Raceway. I plan to model it after Nascar Thunder. That's a sighted game for the PC I have which is really cool, but not completely accessible. Like Nascar Thunder I'm trying to create a true driving simulator using actual physics, and that part of the game is really tough.

[Audyssey] Winfrotz 1.16 - with a speech option
Ok, actually found out that if I got hold of the installer for windows frotz 1.16 from http://ifarchive.heanet.ie/ then it has a speech option that can then be turned on, so will now finally be able to actually play the interactive fiction games have here nowwhoohoo! This is just the standard windows frotz installation, not the specifically TTS version. http://ifarchive.heanet.ie/if-archive/infocom/interpreters/frotz/WindowsFrotzInstaller.exe Found it on this page where you can also download the source code for it, but which doesn't seem to want to compile on my machine after I pulled it into visual studio.net, and allowed it to handle the conversion, but anyway: http://ifarchive.heanet.ie/indexes/if-archiveXinfocomXinterpretersXfrotz.html Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' __ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5002 (20100405) __ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Winfrotz 1.16 - with a speech option
Hi Jacub. If I remember rightly, windows frotz and win frotz are actually two different programs, --- though they are similar (I'm not sure if windows frotz is an earlier version). I do know win frotz tts is built on an older version of win frotz than the current one, because I actually foundthat win frotz tts won't play some of the infocom games like king arthur, where as standard win frotz will. Tts is convenient, but I played using Hal's virtual focus for a long while (actually a couple of years before I started playing audio games), so I don't find this too much of a pest. in fact, i originally used windows frotz on my old laptop with windows 98, but found the speech not to work (I had no idea sapi even existed back then or that I had to install it), but found Hal quite sufficient. It's a shame tts wasn't updated to the latest win frotz, but I'm generally not sure how the tts developement is going, or even if developement is continuing at all. Btw, this really! takes me back.

[Audyssey] How did you start?
Hi. all this talk about if Is getting me a litle nostalgic, so i thought a topic about how people got into audio games and such might be fun. For me, I'd always played what graffical games my eyesite could cope with, first on an atari 2600 (at age 3 and 4), then an amstrad cpc computer (similar to a comador 64), a comador amigar and finally a Snes (which i stil own). But in the mid 90's with the 32 bit 3D era, the number of games I could play dropped from about thirty percent, to almost none. Though I used a laptop for school work, and university, it never occurred to me I could do anything with it bar write. Yes, I had the DD manuals and used it to do some tabletop gaming in about 99-2000 before I went to uni, but I never actually thought of games. It wasn't until 2003, that I saw an artical in a braille publication mentioning tom lorimers' whitestick.co.uk site and accessible computer games. Despite a lot of net access shinanigans (hal version 5 and internet access was fairly new at that stage), I found toms' site, and played a number of online games like ashes of angels and legend of the green dragon. I do remember checking the offline games page, but A, the idea of a game with sound I found rather bizarre, and B, I was stil using a five year old laptop with windows 98. I did however play a lot of if. Things went on. I started on Sryth in late 2004, bought an xp desktop in mid 2005, then ran into Bryan peterson. When finding we both had defficient eyeballs and an interest in exploration games he directed me towards shades of doom (I stil remember sitting up all night playing it), and by degrees audiogames.net. Sinse this corresponded with me finishing my masters and for various confusing academic reasons having a lot of free time, i signed up to the audiogames.net forum in 2006, and spent the next few months trying almost the entire audiogames.net database, signing up to the audeasy list somewhere along the line.

Re: [Audyssey] How did you start?
Hi, yes, now you Dark made me a little nostalgic. I was also playing some games, mostly on the sega platform, since 1998, alongside my sided friends. From 2001 to 2003 I didn't play anything, and then I hurd about some games for the blind people. I was wondering how it could work, and the first game I found was Jim's Mach 1. Then I played the battleship from gamesfortheblind.com, and finally I found gmagames and audiogames. Then 3 years ago I found the malich games, and started playing the interactive fiction, and a year after that I started learning to program in inform 7. In the meantime, I am still an active audiogamer.

Re: [Audyssey] How did you start?
Hi, Well, as many of you know I was sighted for many years. the very first video game I can remember playing was Packman on my Atari 2600 around 1982 or so. I later got several more games from that era such as Demon Attack, Space Invaders, Missile Command, etc. All the classics in other words. Around 1985 or so I got a Colleco for Christmas and started playing games like Donkey Kong, Mouse Trap, Smirfs, Zaxon, and several other games I probably don't recall any more. 1987 I had switched game consoles yet again moving to the Nintendo Entertainment System. It pretty much goes without saying I had all the major games such as Megaman, Mario, Double Dragon, Ninja Turtles, Castlevania, and several more. In fact, I still have the NES and most of the games in my living room closet. By this time in my life I was beginning to have a harder time playing the games because I couldn't see the tv screen very well. Things were often blurry, but it didn't stop me from continuing to play. By the 1990's my next major game console, if you wish to call it that, was an IBM 486 with 4 MB of ram. I played various games such as Duke Nukem, Overkill, and plenty of games I just don't remember now. I had several. In 1996, when I was a senior in high school, I got a new IBM with Windows 95 on it. About that time there were a number of popular PC games such as Heroes of Might and Magic, Tomb Raider, Top Gun, Doom, Jedi Knight, etc which I played. These were really the last games I could really play as I really couldn't see them well, and I was using Jaws 2.0 to access the PC because I couldn't see the words, icons, etc. It basically was just a mindless mess of blurry colors. Around 1998 I started looking for accessible games. A friend of mine in college gave me some of Jim Kitchens self-voicing games. Those proved to be fun little time waisters, but I wanted something more. So I kept looking. Eventually, I found GMA's web site with Lonewolf and Trek 2000 which I purchased right away. About this time Shades of Doom was in testing, and I recall buying it not long after it came out. As it happens the GMA Games site had a link to the Audyssey Magazine list and I joined to find out more about it. After that the rest is history. I have been floating around in the audio games community ever since. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] How did you start?
Interesting tom, we were probably playin some of the same atari games like packman, berzerk and space invaders in 1985 and 6, accept I was about three or four at the time ;D. I also stil own and play my Snes, (it's hooked up to my pc monitor right now), but having been collecting games sinse the early 90's, it's actually getting to the point where I'm running out of games I can play available for the console. Pluss of course about the most complex games I can play are things like super metroid or some of the later Mega man games, sinse I can't read in game text at all. I have been considdering the wii, purely for wii ware titles, but the menues are just too much of a nightmare with my level of sight, which is very frustrating!

Re: [Audyssey] How did you start?
Hi, Yeah, I find the Wii a bit more than I can handle. The menus are tricky enough, but the Wii motes take something to get use to. I was playing the Wii with my family last night and I couldn't get the hang of the motes as hard as I tried I couldn't ski straight to save my life. I move to rapidly and I'd go way left or way right, or spin around in a circle because the Wii motes are so motion sensative. it takes a certain practice, a certain touch, to get them to work right. Cool, but very difficult from my perspective. Cheers! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] How did you start?
Hello Dark and others, my ixperance was this. I started playing audio games in til 2007 and my laptop was broken alittle bit. It was a rubbish school hp laptop. Ok, I said to my teacher that I want a new computer and my teacher ordered one and it came. When the computer came, I started playing pipe 2, hunter and troopanum 2 including gma tank commander. I sat everyday on my laptop and I always was on audio games and looking for new games. I found treasure hunt and I didn't really take an interest at it. But ok, let me take a chance on this game. I watched Philips review, then I was really hooked. I downloaded treasure hunt then I had a problem with the game. I joyned the bpc discussion list, but at first I wasn't willing to joyn and then I gave the chance. Obviously I behaved much more sillyer because I didn't know how to act on mailing lists at the time. It was last year. I also joyned the entombed discussion group. Ok, with out me knowing, mota beta 10 was released. I joyned the USA games mailing list and then had a bit of fun. Then, I pushed the block. Probably I had about 20 or 30 games now. My ixperance is this, though Dark interesting topic indeed. Do you love audio games? Would you like to chat about BGt a game creation tool for the blind? Do you need any tips or tricks on any sought of game? Do you need to ask questions about buying a game and help for the game? Well, this is the right place for you then!

Re: [Audyssey] Winfrotz 1.16 - with a speech option
Only thing have really noticed while trying to get this working up to now, is that most of the different versions you find are all oldish, whereas, this installation package in fact seems to have been put together/uploaded to that site dated as [26-Nov-2009]. Don't think it can handle things like glulx scripts, but most of the games have here are *.z5 or *.z8 and it's fine with them.

If I remember rightly, windows frotz and win frotz are actually two different programs, --- though they are similar (I'm not sure if windows frotz is an earlier version). I do know win frotz tts is built on an older version of win frotz than the current one, because I actually foundthat win frotz tts won't play some of the infocom games like king arthur, where as standard win frotz will. Tts is convenient, but I played using Hal's virtual focus for a long while (actually a couple of years before I started playing audio games), so I don't find this too much of a pest. in fact, i originally used windows frotz on my old laptop with windows 98, but found the speech not to work (I had no idea sapi even existed back then or that I had to install it), but found Hal quite sufficient.

Re: [Audyssey] How did you start?
here how i got into audio games. i started back in school i played the old dos text games. like shoot 96 and run for prisident and destiation mars. i didn't play them as much as i did video games because at the time i had some sight. in 2008 someone told me about jim's games. and so i tried them out i notice that they had the fell of old gaming with a new gaming feel. what i mean is when i play the baseball game it reminded me of the nintendo day in the 80's and it also reminded me of today games sound. at the time i started to play jim's games i had some sight left so i was playing ps2 games. but when i had lost my sight i still wanted to play games so i begin to play jim's games alot just like the way i play video games. since i've been doing audio gaming i notice that the games are just like a video game accept with no video. i have been playing shades of doom and pac man talk and kitchensinc and railracer and sarah and the castle and top speed and entombed. and these games have given me a great reason to pick up a controller and to talk with others about games. i would like to thank people like jim kitchen and other audio game makers out their for the hard work. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

[Audyssey] Mud Connect and Vipmud.
Hi all. I'm trying out the Vipmud client from GMA Games and went to the Mud connect site, but does anyone know how to specifically search for text muds? I found a mud on their site but can't find the host and port info so I can add it to the Vipmud directly. I think it's trying to connect me through the mudconnect.com site, as it's asking what name I want to be called, but I don't want to have to play through the Web site itself. Just thought I'd ask here in case anyone knows. This is all new to me as I haven't dealt with muds before, so thought I'd check it out.

I do know win frotz tts is built on an older version of win frotz than the current one, because I actually foundthat win frotz tts won't play some of the infocom games like king arthur, where as standard win frotz will. Tts is convenient, but I played using Hal's virtual focus for a long while (actually a couple of years before I started playing audio games), so I don't find this too much of a pest. in fact, i originally used windows frotz on my old laptop with windows 98, but found the speech not to work (I had no idea sapi even existed back then or that I had to install it), but found Hal quite sufficient. It's a shame tts wasn't updated to the latest win frotz, but I'm generally not sure how the tts developement is going, or even if developement is continuing at all. Btw, this really! takes me back.

[Audyssey] to Miss Wings on mud client
Okay, I'll do my best here since I've used vip-mud and mudconnect.com. First, when you go to the mud connect sitee choose I think it's the 3rd link on the page something about mud listings and that will give you the choice of finding a game by name, category, mud code type, or to use the mud connect big list. I prefer the mud big list since, though it does list every game by alphabetical order, it does give you a link for the mud home page if it has one and also tells you if the mud is connected, timed out, or connection refused. To get the mud port number you should click on the mud game name and it will bring up another page filled with stats, a brief overview and more. Near the top, after where it says to log in then to go to the member site, you'll find the stats and it will show you the game ranking, the code base, when it was created, and then the site which for example might say mudconnect.com 5000 that is the address and the port number if this was a real mud game. Some have long numbers like 6565 98.9.900.22 but you only need the main first numbers for the port number to enter into the mud client. Don't click on play now or a connect button as that will think you want to use telnet and if your running jaws, that's a pain and not worth the time it takes to use. Usually, vip-mud wants the character name you want to be, the mud game name, the mud game site address, and the port number. Though I've heard the David Greenwood from GMA Games is or was working on an updated version of the vip-mud client, but its not available yet. If you're looking strictly for text-based games, you might want browser based games you can play through your internet browser without downloading a client or worrying about port numbers. If you need more help finding either a mud game or browser game, let me know kind of what you're looking for and I can send along links. Good luck. Chastity chastitymo...@msn.commailto:chastitymo...@msn.com there are several ways to search for games, one is by name, one is by game code what its written in, one is by general category like vampires or harry potter, and the last is through the big mud list where it lists every game in alphabetical order with its name a www link for the home page and tells you if the game is connect or timed out or connection refused. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] WINDOWS AGT INTERPRETER
hI LIZ AND ALL. OK GUYS TODAY i WAS BORD SO LOOKED AGAIN AT THE AGILITY WINDOWS INTERPRETER. i CONVERTED THE GAMES INTO THE AGX SO THEY COULD RUN BETTER APARENTLY. HOWEVER IN GHAMES LIKE COSMOSERVE THE GAME DOES NOT HAVE THE PC SPEAKER MAKE THE NOISES YOU HEAR IN THE GAME. AFTER YOU START THE COMPUTER THE SYSTEM COMES UP BUT YOU DON'T SEE ANY PROMPTS. THE REST OF THE GAMES SEEM TO WORK.

Re: [Audyssey] How did you start?
Hmmm since people seem to be discussing this. I got into audio games by accident. in about 1993 I started mucking with dad's old disks and found things I could play. My first real text game was from a friend and it was called intergalactic battle. you could be be oryan klingon I think romulan and federation and andromidan I think not soure I think you could be cardation. anyway you could have set games against your oponants or the computer. the main screen was graphical but the system was controled with menus. After I got on the net I was on the old henrichsen site which is now dead and found various files called aud1.zip, etc. I was curious, because well I was thinking it was something to do. I downloaded the files and read them. as i went through each mag i followed the links and read the articles. up to then I had not even heard anything about interactive fiction. in fact I did not get the net till 1995. my first real audio game was sod alpha1 in 1996 I think. from 1995 till 2000 I used an old 386 system which had been mangled some what due to me dropping it off the desk. the thing is now dead for ever more but I played dos stuff till then. after that I made several attempts to play old stuff again. this year I have finally got round to bothering with interpreters for windows fully so we will see where this goes. Actually I suppose I should thank josh for asking for my archive of games in the first place because since switching to hard drive recordings I have not touched my cdr collection. I had to sort this out and again got interested.

Re: [Audyssey] Online games
there are games like core exiles but they are not exactly fast paced. I know there are flash games which are ok but I can't remember check www.audiogames.net they seem to be the main database for just about everything in the industry. even experimental stuff. Even if you don't submit anything if you are a dev the stuff is eventually assimilated into the collective. the people do a good job of keeping this updated. Its hard to remember when we did not have this free database but in 1999- early 2000 I think we didn't have it. At 01:38 p.m. 6/04/2010, you wrote: THere's lots of them. Unfortunately.

Re: [Audyssey] How did you start?
Well I started with a keynote and only could play dos stuff then, beyond the titanic, hitch hikers all the infocom stuff got on to the original yahoo audyssey list in 2000 through Paul nimoo who was here and put my windows 98 computer together met and love sod and all the other audio stuff.

Hi. all this talk about if Is getting me a litle nostalgic, so i thought a topic about how people got into audio games and such might be fun. For me, I'd always played what graffical games my eyesite could cope with, first on an atari 2600 (at age 3 and 4), then an amstrad cpc computer (similar to a comador 64), a comador amigar and finally a Snes (which i stil own). But in the mid 90's with the 32 bit 3D era, the number of games I could play dropped from about thirty percent, to almost none. Though I used a laptop for school work, and university, it never occurred to me I could do anything with it bar write. Yes, I had the DD manuals and used it to do some tabletop gaming in about 99-2000 before I went to uni, but I never actually thought of games. It wasn't until 2003, that I saw an artical in a braille publication mentioning tom lorimers' whitestick.co.uk site and accessible computer games. Despite a lot of net access shinanigans (hal version 5 and internet access was fairly new at that stage), I found toms' site, and played a number of online games like ashes of angels and legend of the green dragon. I do remember checking the offline games page, but A, the idea of a game with sound I found rather bizarre, and B, I was stil using a five year old laptop with windows 98. I did however play a lot of if. Things went on. I started on Sryth in late 2004, bought an xp desktop in mid 2005, then ran into Bryan peterson. When finding we both had defficient eyeballs and an interest in exploration games he directed me towards shades of doom (I stil remember sitting up all night playing it), and by degrees audiogames.net. Sinse this corresponded with me finishing my masters and for various confusing academic reasons having a lot of free time, i signed up to the audiogames.net forum in 2006, and spent the next few months trying almost the entire audiogames.net database, signing up to the audeasy list somewhere along the line. And the rest is history. Beware the Grue! Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] what to do?
does anyone know how i can contact the maker of entombed? i have already e-mail him three times on the contact link on the blind-games webvsite. but he have not got back with me on my problem with activating the full version of entombed. i did like some of you told me but i can't get it to work. here is what i did first i install the game. then i put my user name and password then it said that it couldn't find a payment so it put a edit box and told me to put my transaction number that you get when you buy the game in the box. so i did that and it gave me the same thing it said it didn't find a payment. so then i try changing my password and that didn't work. now when i log in it don't do nothing. i really like to contact jason so he can fix this problem. or he need to give me my money. because if this is what you got to deal with each time you got to reload your system then i'll give this game a bad name. a friend was going to get the game but they are kind of scare because of what the game is doing to me. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.
