Re: [Audyssey] sappi problem
Hi Simon, That seems to be a general problem with the ATT voices. While the voice quality is pretty decent they can't handle strange words and unusual names. They have problems reading Star Trek and Star Wars books simply because the names of aliens, characters, etc isn't in their lexicon dictionary and are unable to sound them out. The only solution in a case like that is to use your screen readers exception dictionary to correct as many words as possible. Since games generally don't have exception dictionaries the ATT voices aren't always my first choice in games simply because there is a chance they will have a problem with some words.

Hi Ben. As I said, unless your living in a really tiny village, I doubt that is true.

Also, forbidden planet is just one example of a chain of sf and anime related shops who also do rp materials, there are lots more, particularly smaller, local affairs rather than big chains. For example, in sheffield my brother goes to a shop called traveling man, owned by a friend of his, while in skegness there is a shop, which specializes in ccgs but lso does tabletop rp games called (amusingly given that skegness is a seaside town), warlocks of the coast.

I've seen devoutly faithful of several religions play happily in a world with god upon god upon god which interacted daily with their characters. I've seen atheists play characters who are so faithful it makes one wonder. The thing is that people who don't roleplay just can't seem to understand the ones who do. I was once asked how I could read about or play games in worlds with such odd religions. My answer was simple. I imagine, for a while, that the world is that way, and I have a good time. There are people who really do take it too seriously. There are people who get so into character that they seem to forget themselves and become that character. This is just as unhealthy as any other mental abaration. It just gets noticed more, because normal people kill each other with guns, not swords and such, so when a nerd or gamer or whatever spazzes and offs someone with a sword, everyone spazzes right back. As for religious conviction in the real world, I don't blame people for sticking to their arguments. I prefer people to listen, but I find myself daily admiring the faith of people who believe sometimes directly in spite of the evidence they are given. It is easy to believe in something proven. It is hard to believe despite contrary evidence. It all is tied together though, because roleplay is the great equalizer. If people give it a chance, roleplay could end war. Why fight when you could roleplay your fight instead. I'm sure that there are plenty of people who would think it's a better system. But screw the silly impractical stuff. Roleplay is great because it builds oneself. How better to explore an aspect of your personality than to put that aspect into a character, fill it out a little, and see what happens. I'm a lot more patient, because I play a patient character and find the virtue within myself. Happy Gaming.

Re: [Audyssey] Realism in military stratogy games
them advantages in terms of maneuverability and time, it also dictates their movements quite severely, sinse the food and other supplies are carried by bullock carts, which require roads on which to move, and also which obviously can't move too fast. Then, there is the matter of formation. One of the advantages the british army at that time had against a larger force was that british army fought in just two ranks. The front rank would fire, then kneel and reload their weapons while the rank behind them fired. This two rank formation also let them more easily surround a larger enemy force. The distadvantage however, is that this formation was useless at stopping cavalry, sinse horses were fast enough to close quickly, break through the ranks and do huge amounts of damage, thus forcing the british soldiers to break their formation and form defensive squares whenever they came upon cavalry units (and didn't have any of their own cavalry to protect against them). On the other hand, the large columns the french fought in, while less affective in terms of volume of fire or ability to encircle an opponent, were far more defensible against cavalry attacks. However, both of these elements, supply lines and formations are things I think could be quite easily added to a military stratogy game such as time of conflict, by basically setting the properties of each unit. For instance, changing the formation of a unit could alter it's attack or defense value against both other types of unit and other formations, which would also make (as in reality), information about the enemy far more necessary. Obviously formation could be changed reactively, but not during actual battle without a severe loss of time and attack. Then, supplies! in time of conflict supplies weren't an issue, and in sound rts supplies were pretty static, simply build farms and farm them, with no suggestion of how the food got from those farms to your troops. of course, castaways had a much more detailed supply chain, but castaways was a far more individualized game with a different, none military setting. once again, supplies could be dictated upon unit creation or orders. For instance, having a property such that the more food a unit took them, the longer they could spend out on the map before returning to a staging point, however, the disadvantage being that the more it carried, the slower it's speed. Alternatively, units could be set to forage, but at a cost of their attack (hungry soldiers don't fight as well, and foraging is far less efficient at feeding troops than carrying their own rations), and also the fact that once one area of the map was foraged, it couldn't be foraged again for several turns. this would make supply lines, depots and staging areas far more of a concern, and mean that units such as cart trains would also have a place in the game as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Realism in military stratogy games
I'm afraid I don't agree decota. A unit of scouts or foot soldiers may be able to carry enough food and use forage, meaning they can be away in the field for extended periods, while the protection of supply trains plays an extremely large part in campaignes, after all remember Wellington's famous saying that an army marches on it's stomach. this is just as true now, even though the methods of supply are trucks rather than ox carts, - indeed gorilla opperations in many modern wars involve either putting supply trucks out of action or making the roads impassable to such trucks, thus leaving soldiers without food and amunition. As I said, I think resources or food as a unit should really be part of military stratogy games to replicate this, even as a simplified system, sinse traditionally it plays as large a part in war as formation, weaponry, terrain or any other factors.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Thomas, I don't know if it will help or not but I'm looking at upgrading to windows 7 and due to this need to change the version of jaws I use. Whilst checking out the new features in jaws 13 I came across a function where jaws will using OCR detect text in images and read as text. So if you had a pdf file that is just an image jaws can now read the text. Although I'm sure you don't want to go out and pay how ever much jaws is just to read your star wars books I wonder if this will let you convert the star wars PDF that are just images to text and then let you save the converted file. Like I said I only read about it today so don't know if it has any limitations or not but just thought if it does work it might save you having to manually scan all the books and I think you can download a demo version (from memory it lets you run the program in 45 mins before you need to restart to use again) Apparently the same feature will allow you to read things like DVD menus and other applications where text is an image rather than text. This in mind I wonder whether this could make some main stream games that are very textual more accessible, if so it could be very interesting and open more games accessible to people with sight problems Anyway hope this helps and I'm not just going on about technology everyone already knows about and either doesn't do what I think it does or just isn't that good.

I've seen devoutly faithful of several religions play happily in a world with god upon god upon god which interacted daily with their characters. I've seen atheists play characters who are so faithful it makes one wonder. The thing is that people who don't roleplay just can't seem to understand the ones who do. I was once asked how I could read about or play games in worlds with such odd religions. My answer was simple. I imagine, for a while, that the world is that way, and I have a good time. There are people who really do take it too seriously. There are people who get so into character that they seem to forget themselves and become that character. This is just as unhealthy as any other mental abaration. It just gets noticed more, because normal people kill each other with guns, not swords and such, so when a nerd or gamer or whatever spazzes and offs someone with a sword, everyone spazzes right back. As for religious conviction in the real world, I don't blame people for sticking to their arguments. I prefer people to listen, but I find myself daily admiring the faith of people who believe sometimes directly in spite of the evidence they are given. It is easy to believe in something proven. It is hard to believe despite contrary evidence. It all is tied together though, because roleplay is the great equalizer. If people give it a chance, roleplay could end war.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Paul, That wouldn't work for a number of reasons. First, I'm not a Jaws user, and haven't been for years. Not since switching to Linux full time at any rate. My Jaws SMA ran out a long time ago, and I have absolutely no desire to renew it. These days I primarily use NVDA when I use Windows, and it serves most of my needs. So for me paying for a new Jaws upgrade and SMA just for the OCR feature wouldn't be cost effective since that would be the one and only thing I'd be buying Jaws for. That defeats the entire reason I switched to open source software which was to save money. Second, the feature you are talking about isn't the same as scanning a book with an OCR program like Openbook. The OCR feature in Jaws 13 takes a screen shot of the screen you are on, takes that image, runs it through a little OCR program, and stores it in a virtual buffer. Once it is done processing the screen you can review the screen with the Jaws cursor. I don't know if a person can copy the text to the clipboard or to Notepad or not, but I don't see it being very effective in terms of reading sourcebooks. The problem here is that roll playing game sourcebooks are like any other reference guide. Its not the kind of book you pick up and begin reading from page 1 to page 365 like a novel. A gamemaster has to be able to look at the table of contents to find the certain rules, stats, classes, whatever he is looking for and then immediately turn to that page or chapter. That's kind of hard to do if Jaws won't read a thing until each page has to be scanned and processed every time you open the book and look for something. At least if I scan a book using Openbook, Omnipage, Simple Scan, or some other OCR program I can save it as a text document. I can then open it in a text editor and use the find command to jump directly to the section or sections I'm looking for without having to have Jaws sscan a page, see if that is what I want, jump a few more screens into the pdf, scan another page, etc. That's like totally unproductive. Finally, when Jaws takes a screen shot of the screen and runs it through its little OCR program it doesn't do any kind of proofreading on the scan. In other words its just a flat scan meant to give a user an idea of what is on the screen. It was not intended to read books and therefore I figure a lot of the terminology and names in the Star Wars books wouldn't be recognized properly and there would be no way to spell check and proofread the mistakes made by the Jaws OCR program without copying it into Notepad or something and editing them by hand. Which of course brings us right back to scanning it into Openbook, Omnipage, Simple Scan OCR, or whatever and manually cleaning up the text anyway. I hope this doesn't sound rude, but I think it is just a bad idea all around. It just wouldn't work out for me for several reasons. :D Cheers!

This in mind I wonder whether this could make some main stream games that are very textual more accessible, if so it could be very interesting and open more games accessible to people with sight problems Anyway hope this helps and I'm not just going on about technology everyone already knows about and either doesn't do what I think it does or just isn't that good.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
Hi Chris, HI don't really know what is available for Windows users in that regard. What I've done on Linux to resolve that problem in the past is run the pdf document through a program called PDF To HTML which converts any text in the document to html, and if there is no text it will extract the images in the pdf to jpg files.Once the images are extracted I then open them up in Simple Scan, that's a free and open source OCR program for Linux, which will convert the jpg images to text files. Unfortunately, I don't know if there is a port of Simple Scan for Windows users or not but I've seen copies of PDF To HTML floating around. So if you are looking for free OCR programs you might look and see if there is a port of Simple Scan for Windows. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
PDF2TXT, is free, and possibly slightly less perfect than some of the expensive ones, but it works: http://www.empowermentzone.com/p2tsetup.exe Creates a folder called pdf2txt in your C: drive, with PDF and TXT subfolders, and if you put an image based PDF file in PDF folder, and then hit enter on pdf2txt.exe in main folder, and make sure image format is checked, before moving over to convert button, it will start running OCR on each page of the file - not fastest, but works most of the time, depending on quality of scanned pictures etc, and when finally done, it will put the rendered text file version in the txt subfolder.

Hi Paul, No problem. That is an easy mistake to make. You are hardly the first person who thought the new OCR feature in Jaws could scan entire documents and save them or something like that. However, the actual use of that feature is merely to attempt to scan buttons, menus, or anything else Jaws can't figure out without taking a snapshot of the screen and performing some OCR on it. Its a handy feature, but not for reading books. :D Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Realism in military stratogy games
Hi Dark, Exactly. Every successful campaign has to have good supply lines. Cut off those supply lines and no matter who the enemy is they will grow hungry, run out of ammunition, run low on fuel, etc and either have to conserve their supplies weakening their effectiveness or withdrawl. For example, one of the most well known battles of World War II, the Battle of the Buldge, really came down to an issue of supplies. Early in the battle the Natzis were kicking the allies collective rear ends. However, the allies won that battle because the Natzi tanks and trucks ran out of fuel and the Natzi infantry ran out of supplies. In short, the Natzis didn't have enough supplies to sustain their combat effectiveness and lost the battle. had the Natzis remained supplied they would have cleaned our clock. I think any game like Time of Conflict should include a certain level of supply lines because while sacking a village or town for food, ammunition, etc is feasible in the short term there always should be a steady flow of supplies from the home cities. Cutting off a convoy of fuel trucks required for a heavily armed tank brigade would be a damaging blow to the tank brigade because they won't be able to refuel. Bombing trucks full of food bound for a large infantry would probably cause some infantry to die of starvation or become weak. Basically, anything you can do to disrupt the enemy supply lines will give you an edge in weakening their effectiveness later on. Cheers! On 6/21/12, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: I'm afraid I don't agree decota. A unit of scouts or foot soldiers may be able to carry enough food and use forage, meaning they can be away in the field for extended periods, while the protection of supply trains plays an extremely large part in campaignes, after all remember Wellington's famous saying that an army marches on it's stomach. this is just as true now, even though the methods of supply are trucks rather than ox carts, - indeed gorilla opperations in many modern wars involve either putting supply trucks out of action or making the roads impassable to such trucks, thus leaving soldiers without food and amunition. As I said, I think resources or food as a unit should really be part of military stratogy games to replicate this, even as a simplified system, sinse traditionally it plays as large a part in war as formation, weaponry, terrain or any other factors.
