Re: [Audyssey] Swamp podcast.
Ah, but thinking about it, that's exactly why I took a break I think Jon. It started to feel like a rince and repeat scenario, because even though I was still small fry compared to some players, I had enough rep to grab anything I might want in ridiculous quantities, the novelty wore off of soloing missions, and aside from fuel for more missions it didn't really matter anymore if I died because I could afford to re-arm myself. There was the social scene that's developed on Swamp of course, had plenty of fun chats on there, but I wasn't ever the type of player to just sit in the safe zone nattering really. This is why I'm looking forward to hardcore mode. That whole scrimping and scraping to survive and clan faction thing is way more my thing. I guess someone could argue that even before hardcore mode, there are stats for pretty much everything, so maintaining those could be the chalenge, but I economise and play a better game out of necessity as opposed to any sense of pride in a set of numbers.

The fact there is an abondance of zombies on map1 over where I run round means I can get the rep to buy extra extras. Its vary likely that my rep will drop to the point where those extras will just go again who knows. I have my mp5 fulled and suppressed.

Re: [Audyssey] kitchensinc games
Hi Jim, Windows XP does not have User Account Control. UAC was added in Windows Vista and is available in Windows 7 and Windows 8 as well.

[Audyssey] upgrading to Windows 8
Hey guys, I know I posted about this a few months ago, but I feel I'll have no choice but to upgrade to Windows 8. I'm running Windows Vista at the moment, but my computers been acting up for a while now. slow downs, processes freeze etc. I'd reinstall, but I lost the recovery discs, and I'm not about to pay hundreds of bucks for a new disc. Since Windows 8 upgrades are only 40 bucks, that'll probably be my best bet. I know that new versions of jaws and NVDA have been released that are more compatible with Windows 8. Have any of you upgraded to these new versions, and are there any improvements? Anything I should be aware of before I upgrade from Vista to 8? I'm using Windows mail at the moment, and I heard 8 has no mail application. so is it possible to somehow backup and use my email on that OS? Finally we get to gaming. Has anyone tried running games on Windows 8, and does it work well? Should I backup any files before I proceed? I'm quite nervous about performing this upgrade, so any help would be appreciated. thanks! -- I've been a Bing Rewards member for 6 months.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp: mission thoughts
Aprone has mentioned that he has a couple of new mission types partially developed, but due to increased troublemaker activity, he's had to shelve their development in favor of security fixes. Based on the interview he gave in the anniversary special (which you can also find in the drop box folder, the new version is well under way, to the point where he's testing a completely rewritten server end and has begun implementing features that will allow him to more easily launch events such as the dire swarm near the factory. Hard core mode is a prominent feature in the update, or so he hopes. From his description, missions in HC mode will have to be different as there will be no reputation. Food becomes sort of the new currency in the HC economy. It could be that we'll see missions to recover food directly. Really, the interview is probably the best way to learn about the upcoming things in Swamp.

Because currently the missions can go either quite quickly or relatively long. it just depends on how many you have join, and how good those people are. I have heard of last man standing missions lasting well over a half hour. also missions into warehouse 4 can take well over an hour. I do agree more missions with different styles than just collecting crates would be great. But I don't have any suggestions. But if you do, throw Aprone a message with the suggestion and as much detail as you can. Also, there is a swamp folder being shared thru drop box. It has in it 4 maps you can play in off line mode. Sorry none of them have been incorporated into multiplayer. But it does give you something else to try. Or you can always create your own map and send it to aprone with your ideas and suggestions. Plus keep in mind a new version should be on the way soon. So it may just contain some of your ideas in it. give it a look when it comes out and go from there. HTH.

I'm not sure how this would work; 150 crates isn't quite what I had in mind, but overall I'd like to see something longer, perhaps with more of a story. Any thoughts?

Re: [Audyssey] upgrading to Windows 8
Hi Yohandy, Let me assure you that there isn't any need to worry. A lot of the things you are nervous about aren't going to be a big issue. So let's see if I can clear up a few points for you here. First, in terms of screen reader access the Jaws 14 beta and Window-Eyes 8 beta both offer improved access to Windows 8, and I don't think screen reader accessibility will be a big problem in the long term. There are issues that could be improved but I'm sure they will get taken care of fairly soon. Plus there are workarounds that make the access issues not a big issue you can't get around. Second, while Windows Mail doesn't ship with Windows 8 by default that doesn't mean one does not exist. Its simply an extra download. If you download and install Windows Live Essentials you will get Windows Live Mail, which is a newer version of Outlook Express AKA Windows Mail, as well as a number of other apps like Live Messenger for chat, Live Writer for blogging, etc. In short, all the apps you know and love in Vista are still around. They just need to be installed via Windows Update etc. Plus there are alternative mail clients like Thunderbird which I use myself. Finally, as for running games under Windows 8 it is pretty much the same as on Windows 7. If you want to play any games written in Visual Basic 6 such as Jim Kitchens games install Winkit, disable User Account Control, and you'll be fine. The only serious problem I've had with Windows 8 is running old 16-bit Dos applications which are no longer supported by the OS. However, the majority of accessible games work fine provided you install any missing dependencies like the VB 6 runtimes which come with Winkit. The .NET 5 Framework comes with Windows 8 so most games and apps written in .NET 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 will run out of the box. Cheers!
