Re: [Audyssey] An intro and a question
Hi Thomas. I don't play mud's though I should as I love text adventures, however VIP MUD from GMA is an excellent client so I'm given to understand, so Kirsten, you could try that and see how you get on. You can get it from GMA Games website at www.gmagames.com and at least it will let you play freely on Valhalla, so you can try it out and see if it is right for you. All the best, Ibrahim. -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 1:06 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] An intro and a question Hi Kirstan, That's because the developer of the mud clients has failed to update the mud client to meet current design standards. Its not the fault of Microsoft but the client's developer. For example, every operating system since Windows 2000 is suppose to store settings and and other personal data in the user's local app data folder. On XP the files for Mush should go in c:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Mush 4.84 and on Windows 7 they should go in c:\Users\User Name\App Data\Roming\Mush 4.84 which is usually pretty easy to obtain through the Windows API. However, many developers continues saving personal files to c:\Program Files even when Microsoft consistently told developers to abandon the practice and use the user's local App Data folder instead for personal files and data. Anyway, as of Windows Vista Microsoft added a new security service, User Account Control, which was an attempt to give Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 similar security found on Mac OS and Linux by blocking read/write access to system directories etc which could be infected by malware like viruses and worms. Problem is Microsoft has added the security Windows needs to help keep the OS safe from malware, but many developers have not upgraded their software to be User Account Control compliant for one reason or another. So we the users have to make a choice to either disable the new security service, or find a workaround for the problem. That's why you can't just install a client like Mush and run it on Windows 7. Its because the developer/developers havn't taken the time to fix their programs to run properly on Windows 7. As for gmud I have never tried that one. Its worth a try though. The only way to know if it works is to try it. You know what they say, nothing ventured nothing gained. Cheers! On 10/25/12, Kirstan Mooney kmoo...@ihug.co.nz wrote: Thank you very much Thomas. Ooo it all sounds pretty darn scary! Why can't mud clients just work properly on Windows 7 like they do in XP? Don't suppose it is worth me trying to use Gmud on Windows 7 is it?

[Audyssey] smugglers 5 couple questions.
Hi all, Firstly, I've been trying to find out how you get the spy sensors on the upgrades. I've found out for definite that it's a targeting system upgrade for destroyers but I've tried that with a destroyer and a cruiser and I've not ever found it. Secondly, I've reached the rank of captain at last and I thought that when you reached captain you get the ability to choose factory owner. At the moment it's there in the skill tree but I still cannot click on it. Third, has anybody actually completed the game and won the war? If so does the game just end after that? Also, I've gone and bought about 5m's worth of war bonds. I assume this helps with capital for your faction to produce/purchase new warships which will help win the war. Have I got this right or is there more to this? Lastly, how can you tell apart from visually how many systems your faction has under it's control? I haven't worked that one out yet. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] smugglers 5 couple questions.
Hi Darren. About the spy sensors, niels does claime they're a targiting systems upgrade, but I haven't seen them for sale either, askking him again help here sinse they're not listed in the manual or from what I gather in the upgrades available forcorvets or crusers (I'll know about destroyers when i get one). for factory owner, what I suspect is that it is further down the skill tree and you need some of the subsidiary skills first, but how the tree works is only shown visually, ditto with what systems your factions controls. As regards influence, well on the bank screen where you buy war bonds it says what influence you have. The better the influence, the better your bonds are helping win the war, however the more your federation controls, the more bonds you need to buy to maintain better influence, so traders need to make lots of money if they expect to win the war that way.

Re: [Audyssey] smugglers 5 couple questions.
Yeah I've asked him this about the sensors and that's all he would say. I guess what we really need is for someone sighted to confirm that it's not something that we as screen reader users can't click on for whatever reason. Then we'd know if it's actually something we need to unlock in the game or whether it's a case of accessibility. Have you spoken to niels about accessibility recently? -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 26 October 2012 15:52 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] smugglers 5 couple questions.

Re: [Audyssey] smugglers 5 couple questions.
Hi Darren. well I've got some of my friends coming around tomorrow for a post phd bash, I'll ask. As for the skills screen though, as this Cp from recent update shows, there is good news there: What´s new? Smugglers 5 V. 1.0.3: - Bug fixed: There was a graphical glitch on the upgrade screen. - Bug fixed: When upgrading the targeting system there was message popup stating wrongly that you upgraded your engines. - Blind compatibility mode: On the skill screen you can now read which skills you must first acquire in order to select the chosen skill. - Blind compatibility mode fix: During ship combat the special window poping up with extra messages for the blind sometimes have had a cannot make this window visible error message. - Blind compatibility mode: Selections in the option menu now explicitly labeled as ON or OFF. - Blind compatibility mode: There was a question about the tutorial screen blocking parts of the main screens. The solution is that you can use the minimize button on the tutorial window to close it. Smugglers 5 V. 1.0.2: - Blind compatibility mode: Skills on the second row of the combat screen display now have corrected labels. So good news on that score, especially for me sinse I'm going back to my flat today and will continue my bounty hunter game (i forgot to copy it onto my laptop which is why I've not played recently).
