Re: [Audyssey] Corporate VS IndependentDeveloperswasModeratorMessage
Hi Tom. that is a good oint regarding sound modding. The editers I've been thinking of as examples have either been freeware, as in rocks n diamonds or t2002, or when a commercial company have come with an editer, the editer is limited in scope as you describe. For example the kingsoft amigar game emerald mine (one of the games rocks n diamonds is based upon), came with a very comprehensive editer which let players create all their own emerald mine puzzle style levels. They could not create new gameplay, but they could redraw all game graphics, add new sfx etc, however since kingsoft never released any more similar emerald mine games, they were in no danger of losing business. so, as you said the fairest alternative seems to be a level editer patterned after the dynaman grid creator, ie, an editer that let people move in game objects around, put them in different places to create new levels etc, but not actually create new objects or mod the sounds and music to alter the game. If however a game has enough objects to play with though, this would be more than enough to give ample replay, indeed the only reason I suspect the dynaman grid editer never got more use was simply that the game didn't really have enough objects to create different levels. If however we were thinking of a game like shades of doom or even montizumans revenge, which features keys and doors, several different traps and enemies as well! as basic layout on the maps then there would be more than enough leeway for people to make different levels for the game and still give the developer room to develope more games or a sequal along similar lines, but with a different setting, monsters, traps etc. for example, lets suppose that you created the monti editer. The game had rolling sculls,snakes and spiders as enemies. Poeple could be free with such an editer to redesign levels (and with the different door types of monti some interesting designs could! be created), and surprise the player with more enemy placement, however you as the developer could be free to develope a sequal containing bouncing skulls, enemies with projectiles etc, and of course all the people who enjoyed monti would still! be in a position to buy the game since they'd want to see the new objects in action.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi amanda. Tests like asking the mothers maiden name or your first school are all very well when you have created an account with someone such as bt or apple and need to log back in and check that account, but captchas usually refer only to when you create an account for the first time, which is why the question couldn't be personal. There are however still lots of general questions that could be asked though for account setup which everyone would know without resorting to those stupid captchas. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Corporate VS IndependentDeveloperswasModeratorMessage
Hi Dark,, Exactly. That's really the only way to balance the need for a level editor and making it commercially viable at the same time. For example, in Rail Racer Che gives you a track editor which allows you to create and add new custom tracks. However, you can not create new custom racers or create anything that doesn't already exist in the game to begin with. This works out fine because you can create your own tracks but can't use the tools to create a completely different game just by modding it. I could certainly see a similar concept applying to a game like Monte. You would have a certain number of rolling skulls, giant spiders, rattle snakes, gold coins, diamonds, colored keys, etc and you could place them where you want but couldn't create something new that wasn't present in the game to begin with. All you could basically do is draw the level map, and place items accordingly as needed. This would allow you to extend the game without preventing the developer from creating a sequel or creating another side-scroller using the same engine and selling it. :D As you said yourself if version 2.0 had bouncing skulls besides the standard ones and a few other additions people would still buy the game because they'd want the new updates since it would beyond the editors ability to add. It allows the developer the freedom to hold back new potential content while at the same time allow customers the opportunity to add more levels and such. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi, Exactly. The personal questions like what is your mother's maiden name, what is your dog's name, etc are perfectly fine when you have an existing account. That type of security question works well for retrieving your password etc. However, it doesn't work for creating a new account for the first time because it doesn't have a clue what your mother's maiden name is or what your dog's name is. :D However, as Dark pointed out there are plenty of general questions that could be asked at random to foil spambots like who was the first president of the United States or what is the largest ocean in the world? Such questions are general enough that most people past the fifth grade would know them, but unless a spambot has a large database of trivia facts might not be able to guess. So I think there are ways to get the same result without aC CAPTCHA. Still, the CAPTCHA system would be fine if the audio was clear enough to hear. The real complaint with Google and other CAPTCHAs is when you click on the audio link the letters are garbled to the point you can't tell if it said g or d or a or j. Some letters sound so alike in those CAPTCHAs it makes them impossible to use. So rather than trying to get Google etc to use something else I think the first step is just to fix the CAPTCHA system so it works for everyone. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi Shaun and all, OK, we are drifting way off topic. Talking about CAPTCHAs was a gray area in of itself, but I allowed it since it relates to Puppet Nightmares and a few other browser games. However, this business of how people use to be 10, 20, 30 years ago etc is way, way, way off topic. So let's steer things back on topic or close it. Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi Dark, Agreed. As I just said in my last post the business of public assistance is off topic for the list. So I'm not going to revisit that part of the conversation. As far as Google goes I'll try and find some time this week to write a rough draft about their CAPTCHA system and post it here for review. If people like it I'll send it to Google or have my wife do it and see what happens next. Not sure if it will do much good but perhaps the one reason they haven't gotten any feedback like this is because a blind user has to get through the inaccessible CAPTCHA system to reach their admins. Making it a double whammy. Cheers! On 4/9/13, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom. ] The question of assistance is really another matter (besides I do address it in my thesis), and should likely be kept off list as it's not exactly game related and would require a more lengthy conversation than is possible I think, (heck, I devoted about 5000 words of my thesis to it). Getting back to captchas though, I agree if you can contact google that would really be helpful and a good step forward. Myself, i would either like A, captchs such as google's previous audio ones which were! doable, or B, a text alternative with a symple question that people could answer like the rpg ones, such as what planet do we live on, which country has Washington as it's capital, which country is Paris in, if a person is not a boy they are a what? etc. If google did! have an accessible alternative as they used to, then we could advise developers such as the gm of puppet nightmares that it was available. As regards puppet nightmares, since I have discussed access measures such as image labeling with the gm in the past I did mean to contact him myself regarding the capture, however since I've been stuck with this less than reliable free net connection I likely couldn't stay connected to the puppet nightmares site long enough to send a message (one reason I haven't played for a while). I will however be heading back to my parents on Wednesday so could do it then. I will suggest for the time being that he do as the gm of the game uncharted peak does, and allow vi users to contact him by mail in order to have accounts created, though of course I will also note that if he did! want to put in a text alternative which asked a question based on the info about the game on the front page, for example what is the name of the type of creatures which players control in the game, (the answer being soul puppets), that would work too. I really hope though google can be made to see sense, since it's amazing how many people do use their captcha system, which is why it's so bad it not being accessible. Beware the Grue!

[Audyssey] Organizing teh Audyssey Database
Hello all, Today or tomorrow I want to begin working on the Audyssey games database, and I was wondering how you all think I should organize and arrange the games and developers. There are many ways to do this so I thought I would throw a few suggestions out here and gather your input. The first way I could organize the database is by developer. I could have a list of developers such as BSC Software, GMA Games, PCs Games, Blind Adrenaline, etc and below that heading all the games they have produced. Of course, the problem with that method is if you are looking for a certain type of game it is difficult to find or locate without going through and each and every game on the site. The second method is to organize games by type or genre. I could have various categories such as action, strategy, card games, puzzle games, etc. I think this would be a more acceptable method for organizing the games on the site as you could go directly to the section that was of interest and skip those sections that weren't of any interest. The third option is similar to the second accept instead of just being divided by genre they could also be divided up by platform such as Mac OS, Windows, Linux, and iOS. Under those headings would be subheadings such as action, strategy, card, puzzle, whatever. Any thoughts here?

Re: [Audyssey] Organizing teh Audyssey Database
Are you planning to store the data/content in actual database, or just lay it out on pages in a structured arrangement? Asking since, if in database, you could then let guys search, or request different sort orders, categorisations, etc. etc. using data queries generated by page controls, etc., easily enough?

Hi Jacob, For the moment its just going to be laid out on a page or pages in a well organized structural arrangement. I don't have much time right now to design a fully operational database per say, but I do want to get something functional up and running for now. The easiest way to do that would be to layout the site and page structure and add to it as I have time. I can always go back and change it later as needed. Cheers!

Hi I think the 3rd would b the best out of the 3. Like u said the 1st u would have 2 go through all the games that u wouldn't care 4 just 2 find the ones u would play. The 2nd is not a bad idear, but the 3rd 1 will make it easyer 4 people 2 find what they wont. 4 exsampal I don't have a iphone so if I'm looking 4 a game and I can go by platform and then tipe that would take a lot of the guess work out of it 4 me.

Re: [Audyssey] Organizing the Audyssey Database
Hi James, Agreed. What I am thinking here is creating pages for each individual platform such as Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, etc and then on that page have sections for action, card, puzzle, strategy, whatever so it is easy to locate a particular type of game quickly, and see what if anything is available for that platform and genre.

There are many ways to do this so I thought I would throw a few suggestions out here and gather your input. The first way I could organize the database is by developer. I could have a list of developers such as BSC Software, GMA Games, PCs Games, Blind Adrenaline, etc and below that heading all the games they have produced. Of course, the problem with that method is if you are looking for a certain type of game it is difficult to find or locate without going through and each and every game on the site. The second method is to organize games by type or genre. I could have various categories such as action, strategy, card games, puzzle games, etc. I think this would be a more acceptable method for organizing the games on the site as you could go directly to the section that was of interest and skip those sections that weren't of any interest. The third option is similar to the second accept instead of just being divided by genre they could also be divided up by platform such as Mac OS, Windows, Linux, and iOS. Under those headings would be subheadings such as action, strategy, card, puzzle, whatever. Any thoughts here?

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi Tom. that is true on general questions, heck even I know who the first president of the Usa was and I'm not American :D. No idea on other presidents accept those who were president when i was actually alive such as Ronald Raygon and the dreaded bush, , (I know a few names but not much about them), :D. Getting back to audio captures, it's not just the letters, it is the fact that the capture can also flag up words. thus, something could be b, d, g, grey, gay, hay day, or pay. Something could be spoon, 2, soon, shoe etc. The fact is that the captures are so! garbled and so randomized that your really on to a none starter so that you can't even guess what something is. As I've said before, google's old sound captures were quite doable I found, indeed I often recommended them to devs, but rather than the samples of a comparatively human sounding voice behind all the garbled chatter, they seemed to have changed to a really staticky synth instead. One alternative might be to illinate the play online factor, and have a short actual file of the system. There was always a download link as well as the embedded hyperlink script that played the capture, but I wonder given that most spambots I imagine don't! have the routines to save files much less review them if that would let them have more audible catprues, since it wouldn't be that bad for people to download a short mp3 or wav file of 30 seconds and play it.

Re: [Audyssey] Organizing teh Audyssey Database
Hello, I like either options 2 or 3. Option 2 would be good for what I think of as a general search like if I wanted to find all games in a particular genre that would work. Option 3 I kind of think of it as being more specific, like if I'm looking for specifically windows games, or Linux games, or Android games, and then can take it by game type. I'm also in favor of a database-driven query approach, takes out the hard coding and lets the end user search per their own preference. Hth Dave.

Re: [Audyssey] Organizing the Audyssey Database
In that case, I'd generally agree with other guys - group by genre, but, maybe also split up per platform/operating system, etc., so that if wasn't interested in/able to use an iPhone/windows game, wouldn't need to look through them, etc.?

The UK and the US are two countries divided by a common language.

That kind of speech is not only used in the United Kingdom, though.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi Dark, A thing to note about the download link it converts the CAPTCHA to mp3 on the spot so its not like they have a server full of sound files. So it probably wouldn't be possible or practical for them to create x number of mp3s and select one at random not when they can dynamically create one on the spot. Again, the solution is just to get them to clean up the audio CAPTCHA so that we can hear it regardless if it is played in real time or downloaded via mp3 etc. Cheers!

Getting back to audio captures, it's not just the letters, it is the fact that the capture can also flag up words. thus, something could be b, d, g, grey, gay, hay day, or pay. Something could be spoon, 2, soon, shoe etc. The fact is that the captures are so! garbled and so randomized that your really on to a none starter so that you can't even guess what something is. As I've said before, google's old sound captures were quite doable I found, indeed I often recommended them to devs, but rather than the samples of a comparatively human sounding voice behind all the garbled chatter, they seemed to have changed to a really staticky synth instead. One alternative might be to illinate the play online factor, and have a short actual file of the system. There was always a download link as well as the embedded hyperlink script that played the capture, but I wonder given that most spambots I imagine don't! have the routines to save files much less review them if that would let them have more audible catprues, since it wouldn't be that bad for people to download a short mp3 or wav file of 30 seconds and play it.

Hi Jacob, Yes, exactly. The one thing I want to do here is keep it simple stupid. I don't want to give the end user too much content per page when I can break it up into smaller chunks or modules per say. I haven't decided on the actual genres but I suspect it will work like this. You will go to the main games page, select Windows, find action games, and click on Shades of Doom which brings up a page for that particular game. That page will have the developer's name, developers site, cost of the game, and other details about the game. To go bak to the list of Windows games just hit the back button on your web browser.

The one thing I want to do here is keep it simple stupid. I don't want to give the end user too much content per page when I can break it up into smaller chunks or modules per say. I haven't decided on the actual genres but I suspect it will work like this. You will go to the main games page, select Windows, find action games, and click on Shades of Doom which brings up a page for that particular game. That page will have the developer's name, developers site, cost of the game, and other details about the game. To go bak to the list of Windows games just hit the back button on your web browser. Simple and sweet. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] unable to run Rail Racer Demo on windows8
Hi Austin, Managed DirectX is a component of DirectX 9, but does not ship with XP, Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 by default because it is now deprecated. It was replaced in 2007 with the XNA Framework, but games like Rail Racer sadly are still using the older out of date managed libraries for .NET. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi, i've found that if sites use numbers instead of letters for their audio captchas, they're easier to understand. I'm not sure why this is, since the synthesizer they use sounds like a dying robot, but maybe that could be a viable solution for web developers who don't want to get rid of their captchas. yahoo has done this, too, although they use these synthetic children's voices that sound like they came straight out of Children of the corn or something, lol. The point is, audio captchas that use numbers have been doable in my experience. Ones with letters and words rarely ever are.

No idea on other presidents accept those who were president when i was actually alive such as Ronald Raygon and the dreaded bush, , (I know a few names but not much about them), :D. Getting back to audio captures, it's not just the letters, it is the fact that the capture can also flag up words. thus, something could be b, d, g, grey, gay, hay day, or pay. Something could be spoon, 2, soon, shoe etc. The fact is that the captures are so! garbled and so randomized that your really on to a none starter so that you can't even guess what something is. As I've said before, google's old sound captures were quite doable I found, indeed I often recommended them to devs, but rather than the samples of a comparatively human sounding voice behind all the garbled chatter, they seemed to have changed to a really staticky synth instead. One alternative might be to illinate the play online factor, and have a short actual file of the system. There was always a download link as well as the embedded hyperlink script that played the capture, but I wonder given that most spambots I imagine don't! have the routines to save files much less review them if that would let them have more audible catprues, since it wouldn't be that bad for people to download a short mp3 or wav file of 30 seconds and play it.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi Dark, I've had much the same experience as you have with Firefox, and the versions seem to get less, not more stable, as time goes on. In fact, I'm having this problem now with Firefox where whenever a page loads that has any kind of Facebook or Twitter widgets, which, really, is most web pages nowadays, my computer will lock up for about 30 seconds. I can hear the hard drive working loudly, and this is a relatively quiet machine. then, once Firefox finishes loading the page, everything goes back to normal. But the delay is certainly annoying, and I can definitely understand your frustration with Firefox. Btw, this is on a 32 bit edition of Windows 7 running the latest versions of Jaws and Firefox. Plus, have you ever gone into your task manager and seen how much memory it takes up? It's insane. Not even Internet exploder takes up that much. With all that said, there are things that Firefox can do that Exploder just can't, I've found that, for example on certain blogs, IE will just crash outright, for example, and of course there's Web Vissum as well.

Have I somehow missed some of the story explaining where I am or what's happening? secondly with the formations, I understand the stat increases and decreases based on location within formations but I can't understand how you tell who is in what position within the formation.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Exactly Bryan.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi Charles. I equally don't appreciate hearing about the church of ladder day saints or how someone is going to catch fish with a hock. I'll also add that as a singer, it's necessary for me to go through a lot of exercises pronouncing and sounding every vowl, and doing that, the o and aa sound are extremely! different when pronounced by an English person speaking properly, or indeed an italian. It's only in certain other accents like American and irish where the o vowl is pronounced with the lips far further forward and far more emphasis on the top of the mouth and nose, indeed my singing teacher warned me that I'd need to change my mouth position when singing in an american accent.

[Audyssey] looking for screen reader html navigation info
With the release of swamp v2.9, and all of the new weapons that entails, I'm finally going to update the weapons guide. I would like to create a more professional example than the word document I've been using, especially as I hope to be building a manual for the game when/if I get the time. I'd like to write this in html, and I'd like it to be easily navigable by people on any screen reader. I know that jaws can move by heading based on level, so I'm considering using headings as the primary source of navigation. With that said, can anybody on here confirm if other screen readers have a relatively easy way to do the same thing?

Re: [Audyssey] I'm sad: Chillingham.
Hi, Don't feel bad, you're not the only one who's experienced this situation with Bavisoft. A few years ago, a friend of mine from the US ordered one of their games, and it took almost a month to get to him. And this was with a PayPal order. Needless to say, he told me afterwords that he would never order anything from Bavisoft again. You'd think in this day and age that they'd just make their games available for download after payment, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Hope this helps.

Re: [Audyssey] Organizing teh Audyssey Database
hmmm third sounds good. however I wander if all you need to do is have a database of all the devs all the games all gonres platforms, etc with some sort of search filter. every dev game type, platform etc should have its own page so the thing is dynamically searchable. ofcause thats quite complex and its just a thought. you could just list them on the page but hmmm. audiogames.net has a massive database but I have never searched it. At 01:44 AM 4/11/2013, you wrote: Hello all, Today or tomorrow I want to begin working on the Audyssey games database, and I was wondering how you all think I should organize and arrange the games and developers. There are many ways to do this so I thought I would throw a few suggestions out here and gather your input. The first way I could organize the database is by developer. I could have a list of developers such as BSC Software, GMA Games, PCs Games, Blind Adrenaline, etc and below that heading all the games they have produced. Of course, the problem with that method is if you are looking for a certain type of game it is difficult to find or locate without going through and each and every game on the site. The second method is to organize games by type or genre. I could have various categories such as action, strategy, card games, puzzle games, etc. I think this would be a more acceptable method for organizing the games on the site as you could go directly to the section that was of interest and skip those sections that weren't of any interest. The third option is similar to the second accept instead of just being divided by genre they could also be divided up by platform such as Mac OS, Windows, Linux, and iOS. Under those headings would be subheadings such as action, strategy, card, puzzle, whatever. Any thoughts here?
