Re: [Audyssey] godville game
Hi Alan. The game looks interesting, and though i've been taken up with Ce it's always worth trying something new, however that is the worst audio catprue I've ever heard in my life! usually I can get round audio captures myself by using a good pare of headphones, but that one is abominable! and I don't unfortunately have any sighted assistance. I've mailed the support staff of the game, to see if this can be fixed, (if not, I won't be adding it to the db). Beware the grue! Dark. - Original Message - From: Allan Thompson allan1.thomp...@cox.net To: gamers discussion list Gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 1:55 AM Subject: [Audyssey] godville game Hi Gang, This game is kind of hard to explain. Essentially, the player has the role of a diety over a automated hero who goes on Mud like quests to kill monsters, loot theier bodies and increase in levels, equipment and skills. The player actually only has the power, if they wish, to interact with the hero thru using a limited amount of power to positively or negatively influence their minion. As the minion increases in power, so does the players ability to influence and use their minion to go on quests, build a temple, go to the arena to duel other player's minions, spar with other players minions without consequences or reward, and probably a whole lot of other things as well. The game is free, and can be played on a web browser, or on an IOS product using voice over, and I think also android products but unsure. When it comes to the web browser, some of the buttons and controls are wonky. Playing around with the virtual cursor to get to the punishment button, and trying to activate artifacts has been problematic but not unsurmountable. On the iPhone 4s, everything worked really well with voice over. One last thing. You have to register. While it is free, the registration process requires the input from one of those hateful capta things. Both my son who is sighted, and myself trying to use the audio one found it very difficult and it took a bit to get registered. That was on the web browser however, using a laptop, windows xp sp3 and jaws 11.and internet explorer 8. I am not sure how easy or hard registering on the iPhone is. It does require apple id of course, and the game center as well, but that was about it from what I could tell. Anyway, the link is below for anyone interested. al Welcome to Godville: http://godvillegame.com/ The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] BGT Version 1.2 Released!
Hi all! I am happy to announce that BGT version 1.2 is now available for download! Aside from introducing joystick support which has been a long requested feature, this is also a very important security upgrade for several reasons. I recommend all of you to recompile your existing games with this version as soon as you can. Now, let's have a peak at the change log as always: Version 1.2 (revision 1): * Modified the internal encryption key scheme to be considerably more secure. IMPORTANT! The encryption functions are not backwards compatible. You will not be able to decrypt any data encrypted with earlier revisions of BGT, using this version. These measures were taken to make it harder for hackers to steal keys from memory dumps. * Updated the script interpreter to the latest version which fixes some more bugs found by users, and adds the following features: 1. A method called reserve to the array object which is useful for optimizing performance because it preallocates memory for future elements. 2. A method called is_empty to the string, the array and the dictionary objects which sometimes is a more efficient shortcut than checking the length. 3. A method called get_size to the string, the array and the dictionary objects. In the two former cases, get_size is the same as the length method. 4. Some great optimizations to the array methods that call user defined functions internally, such as find and sort_ascending/sort_descending. * Added joystick support. * Added some new functions to perform script code profiling. * Added an instance object that allows you to ensure that only one copy of your game is running (thanks Damien). * Aded a function called set_error_output which enables you to have internal engine errors automatically printed to a file throughout the execution of the program, along with some other information such as the script call stack when the error happened. * Added a method called get_headers to the http object that retrieves only the headers from a given location on an http server (thanks Nikola). * Added two functions (set_sound_master_volume and get_sound_master_volume) to adjust the volume of the entire sound output in a given game. * Added two functions (screen_reader_set_library_path and screen_reader_unload_library) which provide you with more control over how BGT uses the dll files for System Access and NVDA (sponsored by Lukás Hosnedl). * Added an optional parameter to the input_box function to fill the box with some initial text (thanks Claudio). * Added a global script property called SCRIPT_EXECUTABLE which retrieves the full path to the program (sponsored by Lukás Hosnedl). * The set_sound_decryption_key method now opens the default audio device implicitly if a device isn't already open. * Reduced the size of precompiled game executables a little more. * The maximum stack size has been increased from 2000 to 1 functions. * Updated the performance optimization tutorial with a section on reserving memory in arrays. * Added support for progress bars with beeps to the audio_form include class (thanks Christopher). * Added an optional parameter to the non-extended play methods in the sound pool class, to allow these to create persistent sounds as well (thanks Ryan). * Added support for multiselection enabled listboxes in the audio_form include class (Thanks Damien). * Added several new methods and constants for retrieving, setting and managing control information in the audio_form include class (Thanks Damien). * Added support for additional keys such as right control and NumPad Enter to be used in the audio_form class (Thanks Damien). * Improved several speech and keyboard behaviors in the audio_form class (Thanks Damien). * Changed a behavior in the audio_form so that now only one progress bar in the form may be flagged as global (Thanks Damien). * Changed the name of the redist/screen-readers directory to redist/screen_readers, as it was originally supposed to be. * Fixed a crash in the load_from_memory method of the sound object if invalid input is given (thanks Nikola). * Fixed a bug that would cause sound cloning to be performed incorrectly if a file with the same name was loaded both from a pack file and from disk. * Fixed a bug in the write method of the logger class where a file would still be written to even if the log was empty (Thanks Damien). * Fixed a bug in the logger class that caused line breaks not to be written correctly (Thanks Damien). * Fixed several crashes in the audio_form class (Thanks Damien). * Fixed a bug in the audio_form include class where the cursor of a listbox would reset if adding an item to a list (Thanks Damien). * fixed a bug in the audio_form class whereby the set_tts_object method would fail if the form was active (Thanks Damien). * Fixed a bug in the audio_form class that pasted multiline text into a single line field (Thanks Damien). * Notice: Failed to document the additional parameters in

[Audyssey] Muds: Re: Alter Aeon advice and suggestions
Hi Jesse, I personally use VIPMud to access Alter Aeon. Speaking of muds, does anyone have any other titles to recommend?

I assumed that you needed to type in the entire answer and not just replace the stars. Then I read the directions below. For people like me could you have the game check to see if the person was typing the first letter of the puzzle that was already filled in and not the first missing letter? Or when trying to solve the puzzle, the game could say, only type in the missing letters. Solving the Puzzle When you think you know the puzzle, you can solve it without having filled the entire puzzle through spinning the wheel and guessing letters. To do this, press the solve Puzzle button. You will hear a high beep, meaning the game is waiting for your guess. To enter letters into the puzzle, simply press the corresponding letters on the keyboard. It doesn't matter where you are in the form, as the letters will still appear in the puzzle. It is important to note that when solving the puzzle, you should not write out the whole puzzle character by character. The puzzle will remain with letters filled in from previous guesses, and therefore you should only fill in the remaining asterisks. To make this easier, move to the puzzle information field and read through character by character so you can get an idea of what letter should come next and where your remaining asterisks are. Once all the letters are filled in, the game will tell you whether the puzzle is correct or not. With this in mind it is essential to check carefully through the puzzle as you are solving if you are uncertain. As you are filling in letters, each letter is only filled in once, at the point of the next asterisk, unlike guessing letters in the game which could potentially fill multiple spaces. if you enter a letter that's incorrect and you wish to reenter your guess, you can press delete from anywhere in the form. You will hear the sound of crumpling paper and the puzzle board will be reset to the state it was in before you solved the puzzle. Once you have filled out the remaining blank areas, the game will notify you as to whether you are correct or not. If you are incorrect, play passes to your opponent. If you are correct, you advance to, and are the first to play, the next round, and you receive the solve bonus for that round. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] bugs in keyboard crazy
Wow is Keyboard crazy free? And also for those of us using Spanish keyboards is there a setting to change, or will it detect our keyboards? -Mensaje original- De: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] En nombre de Nicol Enviado el: sábado, 07 de julio de 2012 02:58 p.m. Para: gamers@audyssey.org Asunto: [Audyssey] bugs in keyboard crazy Hi list I've written to supp...@vipgameszone.com quite long ago about 2 bugs I've came across in keyboard crazy but thus far I haven't heard anything from them. For those of you who played keyboard crazy from www.vipgameszone.com lately, I'd like to know if you have experienced the following 2 bugs: First, Quite often, in the middle of a game, I only hear a ping sound, I don't hear the voice announcing the letter I must press. In other words, in keyboard crazy say for instance I hear a voice coming from my left ear saying A, it means I have to press the letter A and then hit control because I heard it from the left, or space if I heard it from the middle or enter if the voice came from my right ear. So now, quite often, in the middle of a game session, there is no voice saying which letter I must press, I only hear a ping sound from left, middle or right. So I wait to see what happens. And so a bomb explodes telling me I pressed the wrong key, but actually I didn't press anything as I only heard a ping sound, no voice telling me what to press. This doesn't happen every single time I play keyboard crazy but it does happen quite often. The second bug: Sometimes the voice tells me I must press a punctuation key requiring the shift key like is less than . Let's say I heard the voice coming from the left ear. So I hold down the shift key and hit the comma and then release the shift key as the less than symbol is shift together with comma,. Now I hit the control key as I heard the voice saying, is less than, from the left ear. But the bomb explodes which means its wrong. The next time I heard the voice saying is less than from the left, this time I hit shift on its own. This time I'm not holding down shift, I tap shift and then I tap the comma and I hit the control key as it came from the left ear but again I hear the bomb exploding which means its wrong. The next time I hear the voice saying is less than, from the left ear, this time I hit comma and then I hit shift without holding it down, and I press control as I heard it from the left ear. But again the bomb explodes letting me know its wrong.\ This means that punctuation signs that requires the shift key doesn't work. Regardless of which way I press it, the bomb explodes. It happens quite often during a game session that I must press a punctuation sign that requires shift. After 3 bombs, its game over. So this problem that I can't press a punctuation key that requires shift, causes me easily to lose the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp version 2.7

[url=http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/SwampPatch.zip]www.kaldobsky.com/au diogames/SwampPatch.zip[/url] Patch to update version 2.6 or 2.6b to version 2.7 (2 MB) Last updated 7-8-12 at 3:18pm EST. Changes from version 2.6b to 2.7 - - Accounts that have not been played in 2 months are subject to deletion, to make room for new players. I've been deleting old accounts that were 5 or 6 months old, but we are running out of those so I'm raising the bar. As of 7/1/2012 at 6:00pm we appear to have 1269 unique players and 1921 characters! - The where command has been added. Type /where followed by a player's name and the game will tell you where they are. - The pwchange command has been added. If you currently hate your password, type /pwchange followed by your current password and then the new password you want to have. Don't forget your new password since I still didn't put in a way to retrieve lost passwords. - The pwchange command was adjusted to prevent people from assigning password that are too long to enter from the main log-in menu. - Tired of wondering if a new mission is being led? The commands /Alert ON and /Alert Off have been added. Turning alerts on will notify you whenever someone is leading a new mission. Turn the alerts back off if the messages begin to annoy you, haha. - The types of zombies that you encounter on map 3 has been adjusted. Some types will show up more often now, and others will show up less. - The typo that broke the /channel command has been fixed. - An official Japanese channel has been added, after being requested by our growing number of Japanese players. - Added in new code for handling inventory and character transfer between the server and client. I think this will help solve the issues where some higher level players must try to connect over and over before it finally lets them in. - Wind sounds have been added to the multi1, multi2, and sub2 maps. - Fire that was already present in the maps, has now been updated to cause burn damage like how it does in the new warehouse. - Forts have been added in preparation for the new content that will hopefully be added soon. - Fixed several small bugs. - Rearranged the message which lists the players currently online. Before listing the names, it will list the number of players on the current map and in other areas. - Adjusted the border of the outpost in map 3. It was giving some players some trouble entering the outpost menu. - The AA12 and M240 guns have been added. They can only be found on map 3. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Anyway to add to Freedom Wheel of Fortune?
HI guys: I really llike Freedom Game's Wheel of fortune but would like for some improvements: 1.- When a game ends I'd like to ask if I want to play again rather than having the game close and having to manually reopen again. 2.-To be able to add Puzzles, thus I'd be able to translate the game into Spanish. 3.-I'd like for the game to add shortcut keys rather than having to tab to Spin, Solve Puzzle and so forth, or does anyone know if the game does indeed have shortcut keys? I've looked in Programs Files Fredom, but only see, under Wheel of Fortune, a bunch of wav files, and the puzzle folder, thus can't find any documentation.

hi gerardo, i have to tell you that swamp is just awsom, you start out with an axe and pistol, and you can get bigger and better weapons along the way, i thought it would be quite hard at first as you control your char with the mouse, but i liked it that much, i got me a laser mouse for even greater precision control. it is pretty addicting to say the least, you have to kill zombie humans and zombie dogs at the moment. i would suggest downloading it and give it ago. oh forgot to add its multi player so you can play online with your friends. hth On 24/07/2012, Phil Vlasak phi...@bex.net wrote: Hi Gerardo, If you want some information about recent game releases,you should try going to my game list, http://www.pcsgames.net/game-co.htm or to the Audio Games Forum, http://forum.audiogames.net/ Phil --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] To Dark regarding godville
Hi Al. i've had a word with the developers. The bad news is they can't change the capture, sinse it's a standard google one and it's google who've changed their system. I've attempted to contact google about this, sinse while I found their old captures doable with decent headphones, their new ones aren't, and an accessibility option that is utterly unusuable is no good at all. it was a pain in the kneck to track down google's contact address though, and their phone number wasn't working at all so i don't hold out great hopes there, quite ironic as I rememb er at one time E-mailing google support was incredibly easy. As to Godville though, the developers are willing to invite people to create accounts, which avoids the capture, so that's a good way around. As to the game, i think I see the problem, sinse rather than using standard controls on the pages they've simply got text that can be clicked on, so for instance to encourage you literally need to just mouse click on the word encourage it's not a button or a link or anything. With Hal this is doable, but I can see why it would be a problem with other programs. i suggest you just tell them in as honest a way as possible what is not working, and suggest a fix, particularly if you've seen a similar sight that does the same thing and so can give a reference.

Re: [Audyssey] free on-line or downloadable games that work with JAWS
Hi Annabelle, Welcome to the list. There are a number of audio game developers with their own websites where accessible games can be found. However, before I list some of the more popular ones you should look at http://www.audiogames.net which has an extensive database of audio games with links to go to the developer's websites to download. Also PCS Games http://www.pcsgames.net has a fairly extensive list of audio games with information on how much they cost and where they can befound. Besides those two sites there are a number of audio game websites that are worth mentioning for one reason or another. First, there is the Kitchen's Inc. website http://www.kitchensinc.net. Jim Kitchen has the largest collection of free games around. He has created free accessible versions of Monopoly, Yatzi,Poker, Blackjack, Life, and more. Its a great place to start if yu want some free games to get started with. Next, is my own website http://www.usagamesinteractive.com which also has a number of free games. My collection is nowhere as extensive as Jim Kitchen's collection, but I've collected a number of free and/or abandoned games and made them available for download on my free games page. Third, there is Draconis Entertainment. Formally, ESP Softworks and Adora Entertainment they have an extensive catalog of great games. Some of the most popular games you'll find is ESP Pinball, ESP Pinball Extreme, Dynaman, Monkey Business, Alien Outback, and more. Fourth, there is http://www.blindsoftware.com formally BSC Games. They have a few games such as Troopenum, Pipe II Blast Chamber, and Hunter that are well worth looking at if you are into classic arcade type games. Last, but certainly not least, is GMA Games. If you go to http://www.gmagames.com you'll find a number of great games such as Shades of Doom, which is loosely based on the Doom series, Tank Commander, which is similar to games like Metal of Honor, Lone Wolf, which is similar to Aces of the Deep, etc. If you are into real time military and strategy games GMA Games seems to be the industry leader when it comes to that genre. Of course, GMA has a few other games such as Solitaire, Dice Roller, Mine Buster, etc that are worth a rainy day as well. Cheers!

[url=http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/SwampPatch.zip]www.kaldobsky.com/au diogames/SwampPatch.zip[/url] Patch to update version 2.6 or 2.6b to version 2.7 (2 MB) Last updated 7-8-12 at 3:18pm EST. Changes from version 2.6b to 2.7 - - Accounts that have not been played in 2 months are subject to deletion, to make room for new players. I've been deleting old accounts that were 5 or 6 months old, but we are running out of those so I'm raising the bar. As of 7/1/2012 at 6:00pm we appear to have 1269 unique players and 1921 characters! - The where command has been added. Type /where followed by a player's name and the game will tell you where they are. - The pwchange command has been added. If you currently hate your password, type /pwchange followed by your current password and then the new password you want to have. Don't forget your new password since I still didn't put in a way to retrieve lost passwords. - The pwchange command was adjusted to prevent people from assigning password that are too long to enter from the main log-in menu. - Tired of wondering if a new mission is being led? The commands /Alert ON and /Alert Off have been added. Turning alerts on will notify you whenever someone is leading a new mission. Turn the alerts back off if the messages begin to annoy you, haha. - The types of zombies that you encounter on map 3 has been adjusted. Some types will show up more often now, and others will show up less. - The typo that broke the /channel command has been fixed. - An official Japanese channel has been added, after being requested by our growing number of Japanese players. - Added in new code for handling inventory and character transfer between the server and client. I think this will help solve the issues where some higher level players must try to connect over and over before it finally lets them in. - Wind sounds have been added to the multi1, multi2, and sub2 maps. - Fire that was already present in the maps, has now been updated to cause burn damage like how it does in the new warehouse. - Forts have been added in preparation for the new content that will hopefully be added soon. - Fixed several small bugs. - Rearranged the message which lists the players currently online. Before listing the names, it will list the number of players on the current map and in other areas. - Adjusted the border of the outpost in map 3. It was giving some players some trouble entering the outpost menu. - The AA12 and M240 guns have been added. They can only be found on map 3. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Anyway to add to Freedom Wheel of Fortune?
Hi Gerardo, Sorry to say, but I believe the original developer abandoned Freedom Wheel of Fortune. It hasn't been updated in a very long time. Since the developer hasn't released the source code to the game there is no way for anyone to implement or add the features you request without a total rewrite from scratch. Since Damien has recently released X-Wheel it makes such a project unnecessary. Cheers!

Hi Ron, Sorry, you can't adjust the volume globally from the control panel. If you want to raise or lower the volume of the voices you have to do that specifically from within your application. If your game or application doesn't offer volume adjustments then you are pretty much out of luck. Cheers! On 7/22/12, Ron Kolesar kolesar16...@roadrunner.com wrote: ok tom.

How nice of you Thomas. Hmmm, couldn't this information be part of an introductory message for newbys? Just a thought. Fred Olver - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 11:08 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] free on-line or downloadable games that work withJAWS Hi Annabelle, Welcome to the list. There are a number of audio game developers with their own websites where accessible games can be found. However, before I list some of the more popular ones you should look at http://www.audiogames.net which has an extensive database of audio games with links to go to the developer's websites to download. Also PCS Games http://www.pcsgames.net has a fairly extensive list of audio games with information on how much they cost and where they can befound. Besides those two sites there are a number of audio game websites that are worth mentioning for one reason or another. First, there is the Kitchen's Inc. website http://www.kitchensinc.net. Jim Kitchen has the largest collection of free games around. He has created free accessible versions of Monopoly, Yatzi,Poker, Blackjack, Life, and more. Its a great place to start if yu want some free games to get started with. Next, is my own website http://www.usagamesinteractive.com which also has a number of free games. My collection is nowhere as extensive as Jim Kitchen's collection, but I've collected a number of free and/or abandoned games and made them available for download on my free games page. Third, there is Draconis Entertainment. Formally, ESP Softworks and Adora Entertainment they have an extensive catalog of great games. Some of the most popular games you'll find is ESP Pinball, ESP Pinball Extreme, Dynaman, Monkey Business, Alien Outback, and more. Fourth, there is http://www.blindsoftware.com formally BSC Games. They have a few games such as Troopenum, Pipe II Blast Chamber, and Hunter that are well worth looking at if you are into classic arcade type games. Last, but certainly not least, is GMA Games. If you go to http://www.gmagames.com you'll find a number of great games such as Shades of Doom, which is loosely based on the Doom series, Tank Commander, which is similar to games like Metal of Honor, Lone Wolf, which is similar to Aces of the Deep, etc. If you are into real time military and strategy games GMA Games seems to be the industry leader when it comes to that genre. Of course, GMA has a few other games such as Solitaire, Dice Roller, Mine Buster, etc that are worth a rainy day as well. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Message for Thomas
Hi Lori, I strongly doubt it. After numerous service packs and patches Windows XP is extremely stable and accessible. Probably the best Windows OS ever produced by Microsoft. Whatever the problem is I doubt XP is the cause. It could be something simple like your headphones don't show up in the Safely Remove Hardware Wizard and you don't have any other USB devices connected so the icon is grayed out or hidden. Therefore you wouldn't be able to interact with it. Try plugging an external USB hard drive or USB flash drive into your computer and see if the icon appears on your System Tray. If it does your problem is that your headphones don't show up in the Safely Remove Hardware Wizard, and it was simply hidden or grayed out. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
I don't mind the idea, except I'm curious as to why there's a message length restriction. If someone doesn't want to read the entire message, they can either delete it then and there or move to the next name in the thread, depending on their client and mail reading preferences. What's more, most e-mail services give what is now an incredible amount of e-mail storage. Trimming messages is no longer a technical necessity. On those grounds, I submit that the list itself offer complaints over messages which are too long. When I write a long message, I try to give people a heads up at the beginning, and I also expect that plenty won't read it. I view long messages as essential, however, as there are many instances where I could break up a message into multiple parts, but what's the point if I can write a single, flowing missive to the group. I hope this is well-received. Signed: Dakotah Rickard On 7/24/12, Damien C.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
Hi Dakotah, To be honest, I'm not altogether sure why this rule applies myself. My logical guess would be that the mailing list has to send each message out to each member, which takes up bandwidth and therefore increases the site admin's running costs. This would be especially obvious during times when the list is rather high-traffic. Imagine if a thread had been going for quite a while and had generated a whole list of replies so that the messages became 100KB. Then imagine that there were 100 such messages. Not only would a single user have to download 10 megabytes of emails, the bulk of which are other portions of the same topic, but also the mail server would have to process 2 gigabytes of messages in sending those 100 large messages to a list with, let's say, 250 members. Even if this is not the main reason, it probably contributes, and other reasons are obviously logical hence the restriction's existence.

[Audyssey] working Holodeck game
USC Students building a working Holodeck Project Holodeck makes use of Oculus Rift, PlayStation Move, and Razer Hydra to create virtual-reality gaming. by Eric Mack July 24, 2012 Welcome to Project Holodeck, would you like to make my day? Infiltrating the Borg or having dinner with Deanna Troi are just a few of things that could soon become a (virtual) reality with some help from a team based at the University of Southern California. Project Holodeck is exactly what it sounds like -- a very serious effort to make the iconic virtual-reality room from Star Trek an actual reality. Unlike on the U.S.S. Enterprise, where Lt. Cmdr. Data might just stroll into a wild west casino in his regular uniform with no extra equipment, Project Holodeck relies on an Oculus Rift headset for visuals, PlayStation Move for head tracking, and the Razer Hydra to monitor body movements. The current holodeck room is at least a little bit interactive, as well, with fans who are jacked into the system to simulate wind. The team is also developing a game to show off the setup called Wild Skies, which will require players to fly an airship and also engage in a little combat using swords and guns. They plan to go on the road with their Holodeck system, hitting venues like Maker Faire in the near future. Until then, you can see the system in action in the video below -- this early demo features footage from the Sega Dreamcast game Skies of Arcadia, which Wild Skies seems to be roughly modeled on. Sadly, Cmdr. Troi is nowhere to be seen in this one. http://www.projectholodeck.com/ --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] godville game
Hi Allan, I'm a bit surprised you haven't heard of Firefox. It is a free and open source web browser developed by Mozilla and is considered to be the most widely used web browser currently. There are versions of Firefox for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. As well as a number of other Unix based platforms like FreeBSD, Solaris, and so on. Basically, the point is it has a very large user base. Anyway, as far as accessibility goes that depends on which version of Firefox you have and if your Jaws scripts etc are up to date. Since I don't have or use Jaws I can't comment about Firefox and Jaws accessibility goes. I do have NVDA 2012 and I can say I have no accessibility issues using Firefox 13 with NVDA. On Linux Orca 3.4.2 also seems to handle Firefox 13 pretty well so the web browser is pretty accessible all things considered. However, if your Jaws is slightly out of date you might have to use an older version of Firefox as I don't know if older versions of Jaws supports the latest and greatest versions of Firefox. Firefox has had quite a lot of upgrades the last year or so and some screen readers tend to fall behind since they tend not to upgrade as often as Firefox does. As far as playing browser based games with Firefox its about the same as with Internet Explorer. Weather a person likes Firefox or Internet Explorer really comes down to personal preference. Personally I am a huge fan of Firefox, could give you all kinds of reasons why Firefox is a superior web browser, but in the end the most important thing is what a person is comfortable with. Cheers!

It could help in some situations dealing with mental stress like PTSD. I watched a show a while back that immersed soldiers suffering from this in a holodeck like simulation of combat. Apparently, being put into that situation again, and letting the soldiers respond in that simulation allowed them to get past the stress and anxiety, effectively curing them. So a holodeck like in Star trek could do wonders for people beyond games...although I would just love it for the games lol. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] godville game
Hey Tom, I tend to be suspicious of anything new or diffrent since going blind. I have had situations come up all the time in the past that caused me large headaches due to an accessible program or game becoming suddenly unaccessible. So I have simply stuck to that which works and haven't gone crazy with upgrades, updates and the like. Maybe not the best way to move forward, but like you said, I am kind of comfortable now with what I got, and probably won't upgrade to something if there is no real need to. Thank you for explaining about firefox though. I did notice something called a godville UI offered during a google search and I think firefox was mentioned that went with it or was needed for it. Maybe I will check out firefox and see what that Ui is all about.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
I do object, only because, as I said, a person may have a single long idea which is valid.

Re: [Audyssey] working Holodeck game
Hi Al, Lol! Oh, yes, USA Games has built the worlds first holodeck prototype. Like Barkly I can act out all my fantasies with Deanna Troi. :D Seriously though I think the concept of a holodeck could and would have enormous medical benefits to people beyond just games. For one thing it would provide people with a great way to exorcize. For example, in Nora Robberts' In Death series it is set in the late 2050's and early 2060's. Like Star Trek mankind has invented a holodeck where people can relax, play games, and do other things. In one of the books Eve Dallas, the main character in the series, decides to go for a run. She walks into the holodeck, activates a beach program, and goes running on the beach. Something like that would make it possible for a person to run any program they wanted in order to exorcize on a regular basis. Plus as you pointed out people with psychological disorders like PTSD, fobias, etc can go back and experience that situation and face it in a safe environment.It might help people deal with stress and other issues as well. Then, the gaming possibilities would be fantastic. Imagine creating a fantasy world, something like Dungeons and Dragons, where you roam around the world fighting monsters, enemy warriors, and act out your game in real time. That would be so cool there aren't words to describe it. :D Cheers! On 7/24/12, Allan Thompson allan1.thomp...@cox.net wrote: What?!

Apparently, being put into that situation again, and letting the soldiers respond in that simulation allowed them to get past the stress and anxiety, effectively curing them. So a holodeck like in Star trek could do wonders for people beyond games...although I would just love it for the games lol. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] working Holodeck game
Hi Dark, Well, yes and no. Using real fencing swords is difficult for someone who can't see, but there are ways to do it and make it accessible. I'll use myself as an example here. My son and I have a couple of battery operated light sabers we got at Wal-Mart. They vibrate, hum, and light up like the real thing but the blades are nothing more than a long plastic tube. To make a long story short I've gotten good at blocking his attacks and finding openings simply by listening to the hum and voom, voom, voom of the light sabers. Point being if the enemy sword has some sound source a blind person can fence well enough, and therefore the game could be made accessible. However, you are right adding accessibility to any vr gaming is the last thing the developers will think of in the initial stages. Most of it will be highly graphical and audio will be there as special effects rather than as an accessibility aid. Sadly we are always the last to be included in any kind of new development like this. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
Hi Dakotah, We usually don't just reject messages out of hand. At least I don't at any rate. I've personally approved a number of messages that were larger than the size limitation if it is a case of a single message too long to fit in the standard 10 KB limit. Such examples include news letters, the Audyssey Magazine,and various other posts that were trimmed but still too big. However, if I see a one or two line message with two or three posts attached to it I reject those immediately because its obvious the person composing the message made no attempt to trim the message. They just hit reply and expected it to go through. Bottom line, we try to use some judgment here when deciding which messages do and don't get rejected. As for the messages you are speaking of that got rejected I'd have to see them to explain why they may have been rejected. Usually its not just because it is too big. There may be other reasons besides that, or the moderator who rejected it was simply treating the size limitation rule more strictly than I generally do. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator reminder: Trimming messages
Hi Michael, That is what we generally do. As I said in my prior post we often don't just reject a post because it is too large. There are plenty of posts such as news letters from game developers that are too big to go through, but we obviously approve them right away since the author wasn't responding to a million posts but just creating a very long e-mail. The same would hold for a reply that was properly trimmed but ended up being too large. I go ahead and approve them because the author made the attempt to trim. Sometimes a message is like half a KB over the 10 KB limit. That amount is so small that I generally approve them anyway simply because its possible it went over the limit by accident, and if it wasn't, well, its not a huge amount over the limit. No matter how you look at it we try to use our personal judgment when rejecting messages rather than just rejecting messages out of hand because it is x KB over the limit. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] godville game
Hi Dark, Interesting. I've been using Firefox since 3.0 and it rarely crashes for me.Perhaps you are using some incompatible add-ons and/or extentions that are causing it to crash. I do know a lot of people who have problems like this discover its one or two add-ons that is incompatible with the latest version that introduces instability into the browser. One way to find out is to launch Firefox with all add-ons disabled and see if it crashes. If not then you have an incompatible add-on screwing up the browser. Another common problem is sometimes if you upgrade via the upgrade wizard sometimes the update doesn't get installed properly and that could be causing problems. The quickest way to fix that problem is to press the shift key when llaunching Firefox and tell it to reset everything back to defaults. That will clear out all your old settings etc and refresh the browser back to a clean install. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] godville game
Hi Al, Sure. That is perfectly reasonable. I can certainly understand that point of view. I myself tend to be something of a mavric. That is to say I'll try anything once to see if I like it or not. I love to tinker, experiment, and don't let the grass grow under my feet when it comes to software. That is why I've got several computers here running a huge a variety of software. Some free and some commercial. I've got a desktop PC from about 2005 or so running Windows XP SP3, NVDA 2012, several audio games, as well as many older apps that won't run as well on Windows 7. I have a fairly new Toshiba notebook computer running Windows 7 64-bit with a bunch of the latest software on one partition. The other partition is running Ubuntu Linux 12.04, the Orca screen reader, as well as a huge list of Linux apps. Then, I have a four year old Compaq computer that came with Vista, later updated to Windows 7, that has a mixture of new and old apps on it. It also has a Linux partition which was recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 as well. Bottom line, I'm not someone who sticks to any specific comfort zone. I have apps I like and don't like, but I tend to experiment, try new things, and don't stick to one thing all the time. So that's where I'm coming from in a lot of cases. Cheers!

The problem I see it is that where as in a game with pure sound or with less realistic graphics there is no access issue, the closer things get to reality, the more the access is needed. to take the fensing example. yes, you can use light sabers that make noises and practice, but the effort will always be more than for a sighted person when attaining the same level of skill, and when the point of a game is to test your skill your on to a none starter really when the effort for access is so radically different.

Using real fencing swords is difficult for someone who can't see, but there are ways to do it and make it accessible. I'll use myself as an example here. My son and I have a couple of battery operated light sabers we got at Wal-Mart. They vibrate, hum, and light up like the real thing but the blades are nothing more than a long plastic tube. To make a long story short I've gotten good at blocking his attacks and finding openings simply by listening to the hum and voom, voom, voom of the light sabers. Point being if the enemy sword has some sound source a blind person can fence well enough, and therefore the game could be made accessible. However, you are right adding accessibility to any vr gaming is the last thing the developers will think of in the initial stages. Most of it will be highly graphical and audio will be there as special effects rather than as an accessibility aid. Sadly we are always the last to be included in any kind of new development like this. Cheers!

For instance, it mentions that students are developing a game with real time combat where you swing swords and shoot guns, well sinse in real life fencing is pretty difficult for a vi person, that's accessibility gone straight off. I remember a virtual reality 3d plane sim my brother played in an arcade in the 90's, and being extremely disappointed that it was utterly unplayable for me, sinse I could only see what I'd see in a real cockpit, which was not much. indeed I've noticed myself that low vision access has decreased as games have become more graphically real. So, while I think it's an intereting bit of technology, unless we're all going to get vizers like Jordi laforge, I don't think it's one that will be really a good thing for vi gamers.

Re: [Audyssey] godville game
Hi Tom. the crash I experienced was directly from the start, after installing firefox 10, indeed I barely got to look at the settings let alone any adons or downloads. I've tried reinstalling several times but still I get the crash, even when just using google or the audiogames.net forums. I'm not sure what the problem is, as I said it happened with both my machines. Frankly, firefox just seems utterly unstable and useless, so I'll stick to Ie 8. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] godville game
Hi Tom. Well sinse firefox seems bad enough I've never tried webvision. I tried a thing called solona once which was supposed to send a screenshot to a volunteer who would tell you the capture, but that didn't work at all, sinse when I sent the screenshot the volunteer person complained there was no capture on screen, got extremely unpleasant threatened to ban me from the service. I used! to find googles sound captures doable through a good enough paire of headphones, but they've now increased the level of background distortion to such a ridiculous level the words are inaudible, also they now use a synth instead of human style voices which are pretty hard to here anyway. i've actually tried to contact google about this, sinse if their so called accessible alternative is no good, it's not really serving any purpose, but I'm not sure if the mail I sent got through and I couldn't find any other method of contact, which is totally the opposite of google in the past sinse I remember when i contacted them a few years ago they were very good about access and easy to get hold of. It does however bother me that someone set sup an alternative for vi web users, which obviously nobody actually tested to see if it was usable Beware the grue!

For what it does do it is darn helpful in working with capchas, but I've encountered a few where webvision failed to correctly obtain the correct capcha and I basically was screwed. Still webvision is still better than nothing and far more than Internet Exploder can do in that situation. :D On 7/24/12, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi nickle. the problem is for me, firefox itself crashes so often as to be unusable, besides webvision as I understand it won't do all captures.

I agree.

I have had situations come up all the time in the past that caused me large headaches due to an accessible program or game becoming suddenly unaccessible. So I have simply stuck to that which works and haven't gone crazy with upgrades, updates and the like. Maybe not the best way to move forward, but like you said, I am kind of comfortable now with what I got, and probably won't upgrade to something if there is no real need to. Thank you for explaining about firefox though. I did notice something called a godville UI offered during a google search and I think firefox was mentioned that went with it or was needed for it. Maybe I will check out firefox and see what that Ui is all about.

Re: [Audyssey] godville game
I've had similar problems with firefox, and it seems very slow to me, where as IE 8 seems to zip around the net like no one's business.
