Re: [Audyssey] Swamp: Weapon Modifications
Hmm, I see the direction you're going in and I think I get it. I would find those particular ideas very gamey and they would detract from the realism that makes the game spooky and interesting. On the other hand, I see the need to make the lesser weapons, pistol, hunting rifle and standard shotgun worth using in certain situations. I personally love using the silenced pistol, as I enjoy ninja-ing around and sneaking up on the zombies. A simpler and less artificial way of doing this would be to decrease the number of weapon drops, while adding in the ability to drop off weapons in the safe zone or other places for other characters. I'd also add an encumbrance factor, i.e. if you're overloaded with weapons and ammunition, you slow down in movement and rattle when you move, decreasing stealth. The proposed sniper rifle and machine gun should both require immobility and a lengthy setup process to limber and unlimber the weapons. Perhaps you have to use the reload key to set up and arm the weapon from movement, and a different key to fold up and carry the weapon. Both these weapons would have a high encumbrance value. If you add in the possibility of the automatic weapons jamming, all of a sudden the old reliable shotgun and hunting rifle gain some worth as they would be much less prone to malfunction. Clearing a jam should require a fair amount of time and cannot be done on the run. I think these suggestions would balance the weapons a bit better, leaving a niche for everything.

Re: [Audyssey] Awsome homer level 7
Hi Christian, If you run into cars too many times, or do not keep on the gas peddle, you will run out of fuel. The first two cars just randomly move back and forth. So you have to listen to where they are at and move to where they are not at. The next car tries to stay in front of you. So wait until you are right on it's bumper and swerve left or right at the last second. The next two cars are not too hard to pass, but they do drop oil and throw bananas. So you have to very quickly swerve when you hear that, or from practice know when they are about to do that and not be behind them at that time. Then the last car with Gonk and Marge is not hard to pull up beside to rescue Marge. I hope that helps. BTW I do have a recording of me completing the level, while hitting only one car, if you would like it.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp: Randomized Ammo Spawns

While random amounts were more realistic, I didn't feel that it was worth the extra server work just to perhaps gain a handful of extra bullets or a handful less. By having standard ammo magazine sizes, the server doesn't need to send any extra details as the amount is always the same. If people think it would make a difference, I will switch it back to the way it was. I don't really mind either way. Greetings. Currently, ammo is always found in stable quantities. Being that we're finding these items on the corpses of soldiers and other survivors, it would make sense that there would be the possibility of not finding a full set. Perhaps when finding ammo, you'd find a box of random([min]-[max]) ammo. To make it fair, it should probably have a reasonable minimum, and a reasonable maximum.

Re: [Audyssey] Awsome homer level 7 completed
Hi, OK, so now, I did it! I completed the game and you just had to time it right and be quick! I am now able to select any level to play.

So wait until you are right on it's bumper and swerve left or right at the last second. The next two cars are not too hard to pass, but they do drop oil and throw bananas. So you have to very quickly swerve when you hear that, or from practice know when they are about to do that and not be behind them at that time. Then the last car with Gonk and Marge is not hard to pull up beside to rescue Marge. I hope that helps.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp: Weapon Modifications
The encumbrance factor is a very nice idea. I am giving that a lot of thought. Because the Safe zone will eventually allow you to drop off or pick up weapons, it would give people the choice to set out with only some of their weapons so as not to slow themselves down. Hmm, I see the direction you're going in and I think I get it. I would find those particular ideas very gamey and they would detract from the realism that makes the game spooky and interesting. On the other hand, I see the need to make the lesser weapons, pistol, hunting rifle and standard shotgun worth using in certain situations. I personally love using the silenced pistol, as I enjoy ninja-ing around and sneaking up on the zombies. A simpler and less artificial way of doing this would be to decrease the number of weapon drops, while adding in the ability to drop off weapons in the safe zone or other places for other characters. I'd also add an encumbrance factor, i.e. if you're overloaded with weapons and ammunition, you slow down in movement and rattle when you move, decreasing stealth. The proposed sniper rifle and machine gun should both require immobility and a lengthy setup process to limber and unlimber the weapons. Perhaps you have to use the reload key to set up and arm the weapon from movement, and a different key to fold up and carry the weapon. Both these weapons would have a high encumbrance value. If you add in the possibility of the automatic weapons jamming, all of a sudden the old reliable shotgun and hunting rifle gain some worth as they would be much less prone to malfunction. Clearing a jam should require a fair amount of time and cannot be done on the run. I think these suggestions would balance the weapons a bit better, leaving a niche for everything.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp: safe area
That's true, but for the moment you don't lose the items if you get killed. It would only revert you back to your last save. As you can imagine, this is prone to abuse, but it makes up for the random spawning sometimes putting you in bad situations. I believe that once the Safe zone changes are in effect, people will always spawn there when they begin. It will seem more like your home base. When that happens, being killed will most likely result in you losing whatever equipment you were carrying with you at the time. Another benefit of leaving some things behind at the Safe zone I guess. You said When you start up the game later you will begin with the gear you left with, except you will have to reload your gun even if it was loaded when you left. The only bad thing about that is if you start the game right in the middle of a group of zombies! Guess that's the chance you take though lol! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Checking direct x
Hi, Thanks. I appreciate being let know that. I have as I said removed the file and as I said didn't see from the installer it was bad. I was not atempting piracy, I certainly can't program an installer, I was simply atempting to assist a list member in obtaining directx 10. Dave On 11/6/11, Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Dave, I'm afraid not. I'm not kidding. I wasn't aware of DirectX 10's legal status until I looked it up. That's why I didn't make a bit deal of piracy on list as I was unaware of the legality of redistributing DirectX 10 components myself until I checked. Basically, from what I gather because DirectX 10, in particular Direct3D 10, was specifically designed for Windows Vista and later it has become an integrated API for newer versions of Windows. IE that means it falls under the Microsoft Windows End User License Agreement. As a result since it is considered to be a Windows Vista specific feature packaging it for Windows XP is considered piracy because you did not legally pay for a Windows upgrade and thus do not legally own any rights to the DirectX Direct3D 10 libraries etc. I admit I could be completely wrong about this, but that's what I gathered from its status from what I've read. In short, it is a paid upgrade you must pay for by purchasing Windows Vista or later. If you don't pay for an upgrade of Windows you don't legally have any rights to those DirectX components specific to Vista and Windows 7. I know, its crooked as a dog's hind leg, but that's Microsoft for you. Anything to make a buck, and just another way to make people upgrade their copy of Windows. Just another shining example of capitalism at work. Cheers! On 11/6/11, David Mehler dave.meh...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Wow! Your kidding me! I did not know this!

Re: [Audyssey] tab screen reading choices
Hi, There is nothing wrong with an options/settings page I am aware of. Although, I suppose Jeremy's games don't really need one since there isn't a whole lot to configure. The main thing we need to setup in his games is the speech output, and currently that is done by tabbing around to the screen reader or Sapi 5 support. The only thing about the current method it doesn't speak when you land on a screen reader option different from the one you are using. For instance, I am now pretty much using NVDA 24/7 so if I land on the Jaws or Window-Eyes options it won't speak until I tab to the NVDA option. Not cool, but as Phil said this could be fixed by just recording a few wav files to speak those options aloud.

Hey Clemant and all. Good glad to hear your skype is working will definitely get hold of you soon. Yes I can see that the game playing style for mk is real different from stuff like Streetfighter and soul calibur, I always have to try to shift my mindset away from trying to strategize and just concentrate on hitting the other guy and doing the combos whenever I play tekken and MK and this tends to really give me serious trouble when I first put the game in especially if I've been playing SF and Soul Calibur for a while.

Re: [Audyssey] Games for Mac
Hi Karl, Sure. I guess it all depends on what you want to play. Are you looking specifically for accessible audio games or more mainstream games? If you are looking at mainstream PC games one way to go about it is buy a commercial emulator like Cider from Transgaming which has a huge list of compatible mainstream games available for the Mac. However, I can't testify as to the accessibility of those games as I have not played any of them personally. At this point the best way to play both accessible and mainstream PC games is run Windows XP via Bootcamp and install all your favorite games on your Mac that way. That's the only way I know of to get to play a majority of games on a Mac as native Mac games we can play are pretty few and far between. In terms of native Mac games goes I can't think of many suggestions you haven't already mentioned. If you are into text adventures there are free interpreters like Zoom for Mac which will allow you to play lots of your favorite text adventures on Mac. If you are into old arcade games I believe there are Mac ports of Stella and SNES9X. I'm sure there are accessible Mud clients out there as well, but none come to mind. I guess what I'm saying is you can probably play anything you want to if you have the right emulator or are willing to setup a multiboot with XP. There aren't a whole lot of native accessible games for Mac OS that I am aware of, and virtual machines or running a multiboot is the only way around that problem I've found. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp: safe area
Currently, I start with my pistol loaded. On 11/7/11, Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com wrote: That's true, but for the moment you don't lose the items if you get killed. It would only revert you back to your last save. As you can imagine, this is prone to abuse, but it makes up for the random spawning sometimes putting you in bad situations. I believe that once the Safe zone changes are in effect, people will always spawn there when they begin. It will seem more like your home base. When that happens, being killed will most likely result in you losing whatever equipment you were carrying with you at the time. Another benefit of leaving some things behind at the Safe zone I guess. You said When you start up the game later you will begin with the gear you left with, except you will have to reload your gun even if it was loaded when you left. The only bad thing about that is if you start the game right in the middle of a group of zombies!

Re: [Audyssey] Swamped tab screen reading choices
Yes I like the idea of a wav to identify each choice. Hi Jeremy, Instead of having the tab key switch to each screen reading program, you could hav it just play a .wav file saying SAPI, Jaws, WinEyes, NVDA etc. Then to pick the one you want, you hit enter.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp: Weapon Modifications
I do rather like incumbrance, so long as there's not a capitalist style factor on rep points. What I mean by that is that in some games, once you sell something, it costs more to get it back. If incumbrance is a big deal, then it would be kind of crappy to need to buy ammo you could have already had at a higher price than when you sell it. However, if you did add experience to the game, it'd make for another thing you could increase per level and with training. I also like the idea of a set up key for the bigger stuff, but I don't see it working so well given the other weapons. Instead, I suggest the hunting rifle be left alone, as some can fire them that quickly and that the more powerful sniper rifle be given a rather long delay, with the machinegun given a long reload time, to make up for the advantages. Signd: Dakotah Rickard On 11/7/11, Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com wrote: The encumbrance factor is a very nice idea. I am giving that a lot of thought. Because the Safe zone will eventually allow you to drop off or pick up weapons, it would give people the choice to set out with only some of their weapons so as not to slow themselves down. Hmm, I see the direction you're going in and I think I get it. I would find those particular ideas very gamey and they would detract from the realism that makes the game spooky and interesting. On the other hand, I see the need to make the lesser weapons, pistol, hunting rifle and standard shotgun worth using in certain situations. I personally love using the silenced pistol, as I enjoy ninja-ing around and sneaking up on the zombies. A simpler and less artificial way of doing this would be to decrease the number of weapon drops, while adding in the ability to drop off weapons in the safe zone or other places for other characters. I'd also add an encumbrance factor, i.e. if you're overloaded with weapons and ammunition, you slow down in movement and rattle when you move, decreasing stealth. The proposed sniper rifle and machine gun should both require immobility and a lengthy setup process to limber and unlimber the weapons. Perhaps you have to use the reload key to set up and arm the weapon from movement, and a different key to fold up and carry the weapon. Both these weapons would have a high encumbrance value. If you add in the possibility of the automatic weapons jamming, all of a sudden the old reliable shotgun and hunting rifle gain some worth as they would be much less prone to malfunction. Clearing a jam should require a fair amount of time and cannot be done on the run. I think these suggestions would balance the weapons a bit better, leaving a niche for everything.

By having standard ammo magazine sizes, the server doesn't need to send any extra details as the amount is always the same. If people think it would make a difference, I will switch it back to the way it was. I don't really mind either way. Greetings. Currently, ammo is always found in stable quantities. Being that we're finding these items on the corpses of soldiers and other survivors, it would make sense that there would be the possibility of not finding a full set. Perhaps when finding ammo, you'd find a box of random([min]-[max]) ammo. To make it fair, it should probably have a reasonable minimum, and a reasonable maximum.

Re: [Audyssey] Games for Mac
I already have windows 7 on another partition, which has most of the windows games on it. I'm looking for native mac games, either mainstream or otherwise, that are playable. One of my favorite games is Street Fighter, which I have on the windows partition, but haven't found anything similar for Mac. Karl On Nov 7, 2011, at 12:37 PM, Thomas Ward wrote: Hi Karl, Sure. I guess it all depends on what you want to play. Are you looking specifically for accessible audio games or more mainstream games? If you are looking at mainstream PC games one way to go about it is buy a commercial emulator like Cider from Transgaming which has a huge list of compatible mainstream games available for the Mac. However, I can't testify as to the accessibility of those games as I have not played any of them personally. At this point the best way to play both accessible and mainstream PC games is run Windows XP via Bootcamp and install all your favorite games on your Mac that way. That's the only way I know of to get to play a majority of games on a Mac as native Mac games we can play are pretty few and far between. In terms of native Mac games goes I can't think of many suggestions you haven't already mentioned. If you are into text adventures there are free interpreters like Zoom for Mac which will allow you to play lots of your favorite text adventures on Mac. If you are into old arcade games I believe there are Mac ports of Stella and SNES9X. I'm sure there are accessible Mud clients out there as well, but none come to mind. I guess what I'm saying is you can probably play anything you want to if you have the right emulator or are willing to setup a multiboot with XP. There aren't a whole lot of native accessible games for Mac OS that I am aware of, and virtual machines or running a multiboot is the only way around that problem I've found. Cheers!

Hi, For me I play many varied games and I do like configuring them if they need it in one place. I don't know how applicable this will be but in my opinion there's a better way, than wavs to hold speech, and that would be have whatever screen reader your using speak even if it's on other selections until you make a selection.

The only thing about the current method it doesn't speak when you land on a screen reader option different from the one you are using. For instance, I am now pretty much using NVDA 24/7 so if I land on the Jaws or Window-Eyes options it won't speak until I tab to the NVDA option.

[Audyssey] Swamp reflections.
Ok, don't shoot me or hack my head off, but I think that the multiplayer game balance is too easy. I mean, it's possible to get killed (just did, seem to have been at a zombie spawn point and multiple bandits appeared on top of me with no warning, but in general, it seems very possible to stay alive without having to make lots of snap decisions, once you know where you are and have any one of the top three weapons. Things that would make the game harder: make the zombies react to shots from a longer distance. I've had several instances where I fired and missed at a target, only to have it continue its slow patrol walk. I think that any target that is missed narrowly should immediately turn and search for the shooter. More zombies please. The single player game is too much, too many zombies in too little space, but the multi-player often feels empty. Perhaps tweak spawning a bit so there are more zombies at a time in the larger map size. Zombies should be able to acquire fire arms as well. perhaps they aren't excellent shots, but the concept of a zombie firing at you from a distance would be very frightening and would encourage the use of cover and sniping tactics. More zombie packs. It's easy to pick them off one at a time, but the fun comes when there's a pack of five or six. Maybe tweak the AI so that zombies that are near one another tend to agglomerate into packs. I think one has to erase progress.ini to go back to the beginning state of the game after once having saved. Future updates should automagically erase this file for a death situation, though not a crash. Zombies flooding the safe zone: Thematically, the safe zone is a known location where tasty human brains collect. As such, it should be under constant siege, thus making it more difficult for players to reach it without a concerted team effort to clear the area. I actually hung out southwest of the zone for a while and kept it clean, just on a whim, role-playing you understand, but if there's always a lot of zombies nearby, it becomes necessary to do this as the zone takes on more functions. You've already heard my thoughts on weapon drops and usage. And yes, this makes it harder to learn from the beginning. Perhaps allow for a beginner mode in multiplayer where the character is by default more stealthy, thus drawing less unexpected attention. perhaps this mode exists until the player has reached a certain number of kills, then it is permanently removed. Re: chat, I'm sorry, I just don't use this feature in its current incarnation. It's a great idea, but the limitations are such that I don't find myself with a need. Would it be feasible to simply implement direct verbal chat for those of us with headset mikes? You'd hold down a transmit key and simply talk and it would be broadcast over the server with the same sound localization. This would replace the slash key, and would remove universal chat, but would make actual character cooperation much more intuitive. I don't know if this would be technically difficult, my understanding of networking protocols is limited. Looking forward to the next incarnation.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp reflections.
I frankly disagree strongly with zombies getting firearms. I know that we're not using Zombies Survivor's Guide, book available on request, but a coordinated zombie is not something I can imagine. It's a dead body, slowly rotting away, controlled via magic or a virus that turns it into a clumsy, walking, eating machine. However, I do rather enjoy the pack mentality idea. I don't think it'd be too hard to implement the idea, just have it such that zombies track zombies, and once the pack is too large or cumbersome, they split in half. That part might be complicated, but even wwithout that part, if the different zombies had different tracking abilities, different reaction threshholds, then there would be little roving packs as opposed to roving units. I like it. As for the chat, please don't get rid of it. First of all, I've been on all sorts of chat things with headset chat. The amount of extra work on the server and client both is staggering. Second, they usually get too rowdy or rude to make good use of. I've been urged by people to look at ... crap, I can't remember the chat program, but it's one of the teamchat progs out there, teamspeak or teamtalk or something on that order. That's a viable, separate option for those with internet speeds that can support it, but integrating vocal chat into the game would make things messy. Also, one thing that I'd like to see is a sound that indicates you've sent a chat message. I don't mean a local sound, I mean a locatable, world based sound, something like the radio reception sound, only different enough to allow you to know that the person you're hearing shoot is indeed the one who just made a chat comment. That'd make locating people a lot easier, too. Finally, I don't know what the limit is on zombie spawns. I don't know if its actually 75 or if that's just a number that got tossed out somewhere. If it's 75, then there's probably good reason for it. frankly, if the limit could be upped a bit, that'd be great. If it can't, I completely understand that. It's just that fighting hundreds is neat and makes it a litle harder to survive. Deleting progress.ini does not delete your serverside saves. I actually don't even know what's in it, except for a couple of preferences. I thought long and hard about the suggestion that death be permanent, that is dying loses you all your equipment, kills, etc. That's going back to the old way and pretty much eliminates the need for a safe zone, except if you stay alive, facing hundreds of undead, for a long enough time that you want to quit. Now, I know some will. I have two characters right now, and I stay alive with both. i haven't died in a good while. But when Jeremy implements several guns, better and worse, and reputation points and such, I think that death would become a real inconvenience that doesn't add much to the game. I think, rather, that lowering health should do something to you. Consider slower walk/run speed, poor aim, poor firing, poor reload speed, etc. There's also another thing I'd like to add that wasn't touched on. That is switch time. Now, imagine that you're walking around with a submachine gun in hand. that's a smallish weapon, but still enough for two handed use to be best and often necessary for accuracy. Suddenly, you realize that there's a close zombie so you whip out your shotgun and begin firing. Now, I know that a lot of shooters could care less about switch time, but I suggest that Swamp isn't most shooters. I loved the bug that meant you had to reload on switch, only because you actually were simulating putting the weapon away to grab another. I'm not going to go into the problem of having four rifle length weapons in your inventory and managing that all. I'm not that nitpicky, although it is something that might be considered by someoen else later. However, considering switch time at least might make the game a little more difficult, what with running out and choosing between reloading and switching.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp reflections.
Chris, you're thinking like a mainstream gamer. I like that! I know I'd especially love voice chat! we so need something like this in audio games. in fact, I'm willing to bet people will pay a monthly fee to help with server costs if this happened across all of Aprone's multiplayer games. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp reflections.
I like Dakota's ideas re: switch time and bad effects of low health. Low health could increase the effects of encumbrance. Ok, how about this, put an idea of fatigue into the mix, so that health gradually decreases as you run and fight. It decreases as well when you get hit. Med packs still heal you (they include stim patches or something like that) but perhaps they get less effective over the course of time, until you go back to the safe zone and actually heal. I'm still in favor of permanent death. Anything less reduces the stakes too much for the suspense/horror feel of the setting. This game should force you into lifedeath emotional responses, rather than taking needless risks because you know you can just reset and go back to a previous state. I don't know about the spawn limit, if this is dependent on the server, then we need the zombies to be deadlier. Packs would make life harder, and more sensitivity to shooting and other noises. I do like that walking is stealthier than running. One of my favorite configurations is the silenced pistol and hunting slowly and quietly.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp problem
Hi. This is because a mac's touch pad doesn't have native right click. I think you can hold down control or some other key while you click to do a right click. My suggestion would be get a desktop mouse to use with it, unless you like the portability of the computer on your lap, in which case I think you might just have to play with a different computer. My hp computer has a touch pad similar to the mac, but it uses the thermal touch sensor to detect whether you're on the bottom left or right to figure out which way to click. Only problem is, if you are just touching the left side, not pressing it down, but press down the right side, you fire your gun and don't walk. Lol. Sent with Thunderbird 3.1.14 portable.
