Re: [Audyssey] Table-top mapping.
Hi Chris, I wish I could help you. But I have had that same problem. I have always played with sighted players and had them help me position pieces but in general I couldn't come up with anything other than a crude grid system.

Re: [Audyssey] Miner STFC News.
Hi Tom, The dynamic menus sound great, I am lloiking forward to using them to kill some borgs with extreme predjudice. grin. One question, and forgive me if you had mentioned this somewhere else. I was wondering if the weapons firing choices will reflect the remaining left number of torpedoes or energy that might be available. For instance, a player has three hundred quantums and fires 150 of them. When he goes to fire a second salvo using quantums, will the amount of quantums left, in this case 150, be reflected in the choose number of quantums to fire menu? Currently, these numbers aren't made available when choosing, but rather every ship has a standard choice to launch, I think a max of three hundred, even though the player might not have that amount available. thanks, and I hope I asked that question right, grin.

Re: [Audyssey] Possible future for STFC.
Hi Tom, I know I am in the minority when I say that I don't really enjoy real time sim games so much. Very rarely does one catch my interest for very long, and usually the game would have to just knock my socks off in order to get me to buy them. So my vote is no. I know you are sick of stfc right now, but that feeling wont last. I would work on something else, even develop some work for the real time bridge commander sim as a potential sequel, but I think you really need to stay the course with stfc. In the end, you will be glad you didn't give up on it, but stayed the course and finished a project. take it easy , allan The truth will set you free...

[Audyssey] real time star trek ideas
Hi guys, Well, I can see the demise of the old star trek final conflict game coming, alas, we barely knew thee.Parting is such sweet sorrow...wish I could do shakespeare in the original klingon, smile. As for the real time ship command, I could think of some interesting ideas. One would be unlockable ships, allowing the player to control ships of other races such as the klingons and the romulans. How interesting would it be to control a breen war ship? Or even a borg! That would be very cool. Of course, the federation ships are good and the diffrent missions would be fun I am sure. What I would love to see is voice commands, although I think Tom did say that it doesn't work with the voices he uses or something like that, I don't know, I am not that technical. But how cool would it be to give an order like target klingon and fire phasers, or make it so. grin. making missions and even making your own ships in utopia planetia would be cool too if it were possible to program in. I have seen war games were they are part tactics and part real time, such as a game I used to play called Sea Battle on the old Intellivision. In that game, you have a fleet of ships and you must position them thru out a network of islands and obstacles in order to try to prevent the invasion fleet of an opponent. There was also mines too for tactics as well as mine sweepers. When two ships encountered each other, the format would change and the two ships or fleets would go into real time combat, with each ship having their own strengths and weaknesses. So maybe that might be an option for stfc, but again these are just ideas. Anyway, those are my two cents . The truth will set you free... Jesus of Nazareth 33 AD ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] trek shareware question ideas
Hi Tom, I am very sad to see sftc leave, when it was on the brink of really shining thru. True that trek 2000 is out there, but playing that game compared to stfc was like playing an atari 2600 next to a modern day computer. Sure, the atari 2600 has the very basic elements, but the diffrence makes it a whole new game.

Re: [Audyssey] Possible future for STFC.
Hi Ken, I don't agree with you on that point. Should tom drop Monty because we already have a side scroller game super liam? Of course not, because even if the game is the same type, it was truly a very diffrent experience. Look at all those sudoku games out there, at least three from my last count. Each one is probably diffrent in some ways than others and perhaps provides a diffrent experience with that game type. I couldn't get into the game concept, which gave me math homework nightmares, , but I did try a few and got diffrent levels of enjoyment out of each. well, thats my two cents,grin al The truth will set you free...

Re: [Audyssey] real time star trek ideas
Hi tom, I guess what I meant was something more akin to a holodeck level. As a person continues on in the missions of the game, and succeeds perhaps a ship that was fought against is unlocked in that holodeck trainer. There it can be practiced against in holodeck fighting or flown fighting some random enemy. Since it is a holodeck, it doesn't matter which group you are fighting, you could choose to fly the defiant against federation ships etc and so forth. The holodeck could be something that a person could go to and practice fighting other ships and practicing up or just getting to know the lay out of things without messing with a normal mission. I hope this is at least an interesting idea, and I have seen this done before in other star ship games to help players get a bearing on playing and having an oppurtunity to shake things up etc and so forth.

Tom, Sure, you could do that, just call it Lone Wolf: the next generation, grin. Just kidding man. I like having some kind of training mission to learn the complexity of running a star ship, but I also like getting into a quick fight with stuff without dealing with missions and mission objectives.

Re: [Audyssey] STFC generic vs popular starships.
Hi tom, Interesting thoughts. Probably choosing owns own ship class and attributes would be better, or at least more fun. As a side note, what about crew? I can put the enterprise right next to another galaxy class ship and say they are the same, but the crew of the enterprise really rises the bar. Will crew on ships have ratings or have some effect on overall ship performance? For example, a good weapons officer could hit targets more accuratly and do more damage than a poor one, an engineer of excellent ability could get more power for the ship for shields were an average one might not. Just some thoughts on the subject. The truth will set you free...

Re: [Audyssey] STFC generic vs popular starships.
Tom, I was thinking that you were giving the choice of either just allowing a player to use some predesigned ships that were big names that everyone knows, or allow total customization of a players ship that they would use. At least, this is what I thought you were saying, so I was thinking that customization would be very cool but probably labour intensive, while using the big name ships would be fun, but get boring after a while. This is what I meant based on what I thought you meant, Know what I mean? grin. As for my vote, I think using the big names are the way to go, and make room for the other stuff later in an upgrade or patch or something. The truth will set you free...

Re: [Audyssey] More STFC thoghts.
Hi tom, the dominion war sounds perfect. In addtion, some creative mission plot lines can have the player fight klingons and romulans and even borg, not to mention the ferengi, orion piratesand even their own federation ships.

Re: [Audyssey] Early draft of ships.
Hi Tom and everyone, I like the star ship breakdown, but I think there needs to be definable diffrences that show some strengths in each ship as well as some weaknesses. In a fight, the enterprise is king, while a cloak and dagger mission, with hit and run tactics is a defiant kind of mission. But what good are the other ships? What advantage does a person have in taking an excelsior when the enterprise is such a better choice all the way around. I suggest that each ship has a strength that takes it above the norms of the other ships. For example, and this is just to show my point, and is not based on any cannon of trek:, perhaps the excelsior requires less need to refuel and can stay out longer, getting a better "fuel mileage" then other ships, or some other ship might have really sensetive sensors that are required for certain missions, etc and so forth. At least, this makes sense to me. I compare it too those fighting games like final fight from the eighties, where you could pick a number of diffrent characters, where you could pick the agile and quick female character who can pass out punches but doing lesser damage, or pick the big brute who is lumbering and slow but can do some serious damage. As a side note, can all starships move at impulse speeds at the same rate? I know we always hear one quarter impulse speed, but is one quarter impulse the same for two diffrent ships? That would affect ships too during fights whith some ships being more manuverable compared to others more slow and pondering. Warp speed doesn't really affect combat since combat is done in impulse speeds...or am I wrong about that? Anyway, thats my two cents The truth will set you free...

Re: [Audyssey] More STFC thoghts.
Hi Tom, Well, You can have an ally and still be forced to deal with an element of them. For instance, what if a rogue ferengi, for a huge amount of money was working with some romulan military commanders who want to take the dominion war oppurtunity to seperate the romulans from the alliance again. You would still be able to have a single mission where you could find yourself fighting a ferengi and a romulan or two, yet still stay within the cannon. I mean, it is a game and games all the time veer off yet stay in sync with the general plot arc. As for the Borg, I could image a single mission where a player would have to fight them off as a stall maneuver until some cool bomb can blow them to bits or whatever... anyway, I wouldn't let hard nosed strict following of plot get in the way of making some fun encounters.

Re: [Audyssey] Early draft of ships.

Re: [Audyssey] More STFC thoghts.
Hi Tom, Exactly. Star trek is so versatile when it comes to story lines that you could literally do anything and still come up with something to bring everything back to normal to follwo the major story arc. Yesterday's enterprise is an excellent example where the player might find themselves fighting ships that would not normally be fought against. Good example by the way, and a good episode.

Re: [Audyssey] Updated draft of ships.
Hi Tom, I like the list a lot, it really gives a good breakdown of strengths and weaknesses. A couple questions however. I know what most of the ships look like on the list, but what does a prometheus and nebula class star ship look like? Also, in the game, can a person pick the ship most suited for a particular mission? or is a person stuck with the same ship for the whole game? An example of what I mean would be this: lets say the player needs to investigate a rumor about a dominion stronghold in an asteroid belt. This is a recon mission, and sensors are imperitive in finding this base. Someone would want the defiant or farragut instead of a big slugger with lesser sensors since the mission would involve simply finding the base, not fighting it or destroying it, which could be a seperate mission, which might involve wanting to send in a diffrent ship to handle it. For destroying the base I would definatly want something with lots of torps and shields, since speed or sensors might not be really all that required for the mission. I hope I explained myself in that scenario. I like the idea of difficulty levels, but it would make sense to me to use the proper ship for the proper job, just like in the real life military where there is seperate vehicles for seperate jobs. Of course, perhaps an incentive can be offered for completing a mission with a more difficult ship, but it is an idea. What do you think? The truth will set you free...

Re: [Audyssey] More STFC thoghts.
Hi tom, I know that sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn't that hard. With a very creative group of people in the community I think your problem will be having to turn away some ideas because you have too many to choose from. The missions don't have to be incredibly complicated either, just to give some back story about what the player is expected to do and then throw in a twist sometimes to throw them off. I wrote in a prior email the basic idea of looking for a hidden base of the enemy and then blowing it up. That could be a couple of missions right there depending on if players have more choice during the missions for which ship to use. But in the end, it is fighting the war, it is accomplishing a mission, and it is something that can rreflect the outcome of the war in general if you get really involved with it. For example. lets say the player must destroy the secret base of the dominion, but fails. The next mission could be reflecting whether the player failed or won the last mission. Probably too complicated, but kind of interesting. The truth will set you free...

Re: [Audyssey] More STFC thoghts.
LOL, Ok, I admit that losing a mission will probably end up with your ship being regulated to an existence as sub atomic particles... But lets take the first part of that mission, going in with sensors trying to find it. Give it a time limit, and you are in a race for time to find it. If It isn't found, you might lose the mission, but the war continues with the dominion haveing a strong hold in that area effecting the next push from the enemy. I am basing this example on a old playstation game called Colony wars and each mission affected the overall progress of the war, which was kind of cool. However chances are the player will just get zapped so it isn't that important, just a thought. The truth will set you free...

Re: [Audyssey] Updated draft of ships.
Tom, In that mission it makes sense to be stuck with whatever you picked, and granted that would be kind of interesting. I do like the interactive story and it makes sense in that regard to keep a single ship thru an arc involving diffrent encounters, and mostly I guess I was stuck in a more strategic mind frame than a tactical one, grin. Since the game will be more story driven, the strategy element is lessened to allow more interesting fights and situations which is perfectly fine to me. I hope the last mission is the big fleet battle though with many dozens of ships on both sides in chaotic battle, that would be neat. The truth will set you free...

Re: [Audyssey] Updated draft of ships.
HI Guys, I always thought that combat in trek was fought using impulse speeds, since warp was really just a way to go from point a to point b quickly, where impulse allowed for fine flying skills. I would think that impulse would greatly affect player choice, and that each ship had a diffrent maneuverability. So the defiant would have a quick turn radius, and quicker impulse maneuvering, while the enterprise would be more sluggish, and turn slower than the defiant. While impulse might be the same speed for all ships, meaning that half impulse is the same for all ships, perhaps that can be manipulated a little to give the smaller and quicker ships impulse advantage. Thus when an impulse engine gets hit, your ship would start to react more sluggish, less responsive. You could probably loss warp without losing impulse power, and vice versa and so I think impulse would be a neat addition to the game. What does everyone else think? The truth will set you free...

Re: [Audyssey] Updated draft of ships.
Hi Guys, I don't know if anyone else had played this game, but I had played a space sim called descent: freespace. You played a spacefighter pilot assigned with a carrier, and you had to defend against an incoming alien race. Each mission gave a briefing, and you then choose ship to take, which ranged from bombers, fighters, and others, and you also choose weapon loadout for each mission had diffrent parameters for success. As the player, you had a list of menu options which consisted of running one or more squadrons under your command. the options consisted of things like: attack who you are targeted on, attack at will, attack weakest ship, attack ship attacvking you, retreat, and some others. The point I was getting to was the resupply ship. In the middle of a mission, you could request for resupply. This was always an interesting time. You generally wanted to call it between waves of enemies, during a lull, and sometimes you just needed to resupply to get to the next part of the same mission. It would take a certain amount of time to get to you, depending on how far away from base or the carrier you were, and when it showed up, the player had to come to a full stop and let the resupply attach and transfer fuel and weapons and even fix some minor damage. Sometimes this ship would get destroyed in combat if you got attacked unexpectedly and a new resupply ship usually wasn't available after that event. I guess the point I am trying to say is that a resupply ship in the middle of a mission wouldn't be to hard to imagine, especially in an example like this: You are defending an important corridor of space, when you detect the oncoming advance of an enemy fleet. You call for back up, and offensive ships are coming, but all you got is a starbase and a supply ship to keep you supplied until cavalry comes. To resupply, you might have to come to a full stop and tractor the resupply ship, and start transporting goods over. One might have to drop shields as well to do this. Once resupplied, the battle could continue, that is, if the player managed to create a lull and resupply before the next wave of the enemy. How does this sound? The truth will set you free...

Hi Robin, I am sorry, I neglected to mention that I played this game before I lost my sight. Sorry to get your expectations up. However, the principles could probably still be used in a space sim for the blind, and actually it could be used for a number of games involving small squad tactics, such as ordering tanks, or other members of a team around.

Re: [Audyssey] Updated draft of ships.
Hi Don, Sorry about that. I was describing a game I had played before I lost my sight. I mentioned it because it had some interesting ideas on how to run a space sim using squad control menus, and the main point was that the ship could get resupplyed during a mission. Sorry again.

Re: [Audyssey] Updated draft of ships.
Hi Tom, Under no circumstances was the game I mentioned one iota easier because it involved more than one ship against impossible odds. The game was as challenging as any other game out there. Getting a resupply is not a sign of weakness, or lack of challenge, but rather it is a sign of good supply routes and excellent strategy, smile. Of course it is your game and you will do what you please, but I just remembered that game during the resupply conversation and thought it was an interesting idea, not to mention a possible option for larger squadron and fleet missions.

Re: [Audyssey] what is monkey business?
Hi Brandon, I did listen to the trailer and I got interested, but also a little confused. But as a trailer goes, I got an idea for the flavor of the game and enjoyed it for the most part. In addition, those who said that there is no demo are correct, the download page of draconis lists the availability of a demo for monkey business as NO. The site was very clear about what the game was about and the type of game it was, so charles was right. Everything I needed to know about the game was there, grin.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts about Montezuma's Revenge.
Hi, First off, I find this situation very ironic. It kind of reminds me of the STFC game being transformed into STDW, although there is some diffrent circumstances involved with that descision. As for Monty ver 2.0, I had some thoughts on the matter here. "First, I have had several emails since I have taken the game over to add a save and restore feature. Since the game was initially intended as an arcade game I couldn't do that and keep the game scoring fair. However, I can do what was done in GMA Tank Commander and have two different modes. If you play standard game it will allow saving and restoring games without keeping score. If you selected play arcade mode it would play the game as an arcade game, keep score, and disable saving and restoring games. What do you all think?" answer: I think this is a great feature which should have been implemented long ago. Just because a save function is available for a game, it doesn't mean that people must then use it, so I don't think this is a real problem. I am not sure why the scoring would be diffrent however, plenty of games had save functions, even back in Monty original days and the double mode should make everyone happy. "Second, I've had several requests for a first person style game rather than a traditional side-scroller. Honestly, I tend to agree a 3D first person style game would be so much more fun and interesting. You would have six directions of movement, left, right, forward, back, plus up and down. It would allow for more complex temples and mazes. However, this is a major deviation from the original game in the end the game would probably evolve into something else and not really be Monty any more unless this was Like Montezuma's Revenge II or something like that. In other words a sequel rather than a direct one to one version. Any thoughts?" Answer: My personal opinion is that I think it would be great. I have been a tomb raider nut since it first came out for the PS long ago. In addition, this sounds similar to what tom has planned for the starwars game so doing the preliminary work now would probably make that starwars game come out that much sooner. However, while I like the idea of three D, I must consider the ones who bought the game expecting a certain product. They already paid their money, and have been waiting very patiently for this Monty dream to become reality. For their sakes I vote that it should remain side scrolling and the next one can be manipulated as tom sees fit. As someone else mentioned before, the, alchemy games was planning on making the POV able to be changed, but that would not be what Tom is describing here, which sounds like a true three dimensional adventure.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts about Montezuma's Revenge.
Hi Richard, Another old time save method is the classic "level code". After each level, the character gets a "code" of letters and numbers that can be inputted into the game, usually on a password option. With the proper code in, the player jumps to the level for that code. Otherwise, I think the three lives rule works. Then there is no real need to change modes, at least, I don't think there would be a need. The truth will set you free...

[Audyssey] musical tutor?
Hi Guys, I was wondering if there was a game / tutorial that taught how to play music, like the piano for instance. I have this program called talking typing teacher which happened to have some musical mini games and the thought came to me that it would be interesting if there was something similar for beginners or children to learn the keys of the piano. Perhaps thru musical games a person could manage to play simple songs etc and so forth. Does anyone know about anything that might fit the bill that might also be accesible? Actually, I am not sure how it would be implemented but it seemed interesting to me. thanks al Father, forgive them, For they know not what they do Jesus of Nazareth 33 AD ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts about chess
Hi, I had owned an amiga500 and played battle chess. It was played as regular chess, but the neat thing was that the pieces were animated and represented thier various names. For instance, the knight was a literal knight, a bishop was an actual bishop. The rook was some kind of rock golem which lead to some funny things. Anyway, if a piece takes another, depending on the piece attacking and the piece being taken an animation would play. The rook would transform into that rock monster and swallow a knight whole and spit out a shield or something, while the bishod spear a pawn thru and funny things like that. After a while, it all got boring after you have seen all of the animated sequences for each piece. This is probably where wizard chess came from. Back in the old atari computer days there was this game called Archon. This was a combonation of chess and combat. The sides were divided into the light side and the dark side with appropiate monsters and such for each. The light side had a wizard, knights, griffons, pegasus, while the dark side had an evil sorceress, and had medusa, orcs, dragons, basilisks etc. In addition, your spell casting pieces could cast certain spells like teleport a piece, ressurect a piece, heal, destroy and stuff like that. the chess board was the same except for the presence of power points, or ley lines. If one of the sides had one of their pieces on each power square for a full turn, that side won the game, in addition to the usual killing of the head piece for victory. When a player moves a piece onto the space of an opponent, they switched to battle mode. This consisted of a fenced in area with objects all about to hide behind. Each piece had it's own strength, speed, and power, whilie the orcs and knights had no ranged weapon, which made them pawns. Most of the other pieces could shoot some kind of missile. Once the opponent lost all their Hit Points they were dead and the surviving piece holds the square. The pieces on those power squares also heal, but those that are not on a power square and are damaged cannot heal until they are healed by the spellcasting piece. This game was a blast because it involved strategy and old fashioned video game hand eye coordination.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts about chess
Hi Tom, I do recall the three level chess set on trek. Too bad they didn't use it on the later shows like TNG. I think that would be interesting to say the least.Would it involve the regular chess pieces or would their more trekkie pieces like klingon bird of prey for knights, starbases for rooks etc and so forth. Your monster chess idea is neat as well, and would be interesting to see that when you get to it. I remember in star wars: a new hope where chewbacca, artoo deetoo where playing some kind of holographic chess game where the little monsters killed each other and such. Could be a nice variety to that monster chess idea. Archon was an excellent game for it's time and I played that game for many hours. The battles I and my friend had over a single power square are legend, grin.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts about chess
Hi tom, I am pretty sure we are talking about the same game concerning feudal. What was neat about that game also was that the board was actually four square boards that could be arranged in various combinations to make diffrent terrain for each game. I loved that game. I never heard of battlemasters however, although it sounds similiar to another game I had once owned which also utilized cards for movement and attacking. It was a game that involved the attack of the clones movie, and it featured characters such as yoda, darth vader, luke obi wan etc and so forth. In addition, it had other characters like chewbacca, han solo, and all of the key players in the phantom menance, and attack of the clones movies. What would happen is that each person would grab a magor character, and also the tag along minor characters that came with that magor character, like darth vader had those red guardians, and mace windu had clone troopers. Then the players would take the corresponding cards that matched thier character selections. Each person would start with several cards and would use them to move, attack, and use various force powers. Everything had a hit point chart and played surprisingly smoothly. I think each person could play two cards per turn and then grab more after they were done, something like that. In any case, either game could work as a audio game. I find my greatest problem with board games like checkers and chess is spatial orientation. I can't get the hang of looking at a graph audibly and getting a feel for where the pieces are and what my potential moves should be.

Hi Charles, Welcome back. I hope your move was a pleasant one, grin. No the issue is not out yet. >From what little I have been keeping track of, USA Games has had some announcements concerning time frames for some game releases, and a new project concerning an open source asteroids game which involves some game programing training kit. I also think there was some talk of a flight program usable for the blind which involves a spread sheet program. I don't recall any games being released, but there was the usual talk concerning muds, and on line games. I hope that helps a little.

[Audyssey] Tactical Battles update announcement
Below is Ian Reed's announcement he posted int he audiogames forum... Hi all! It's been a while since my last release. I've been quite distracted with my day job and with Aprone's swamp and Dentin's Alter Aeon but now I'm refocused on Tactical Battle. I've been working hard on new features for map creators and even spent an entire week of vacation plus the surrounding weekends just working on updates to the game. There's been an email chain going on between a few map creators and myself. There are some exciting maps in the works using themes from Star wars, Star Trek, Modern military, zombie horror and RedWall Abbey. There's been a complete rewrite of the point system and I've added new damage types, structures, regions, stackable units and a new movement system to name a few. I've also created a mailing list for those who really want to be in the know. Some of the benefits of joining the mailling list are: 1 Access to developer versions of the game so you can try out map creation features without waiting for the next full version. 2 Find out about the latest features so your maps can take advantage of them. 3 Let me know which features you'd like to see implemented and help me decide how to prioritize them. 4 Access to the latest maps and the ability to give feedback to the map creators to help shape the final outcome. To subscribe to the mailing list you can use the form in the "Joining the community" section of the BlindAudioGames.com website or simply send an email to: ian-reeds-games-requ...@freelists.org with the word subscribe in the subject line. All in all this is a huge release for map creators. If you have some existing maps and need help converting them please join the mailing list or email me at supp...@blindaudiogames.com. I don't want all the new changes to stop anyone's maps from getting converted to the new system. As always you can download the latest version of the game at http://BlindAudioGames.com It includes: 1 Updated versions of my Getting Started maps. 2 A brand new Conquering Redwall Abbey map series by KeyWasFull. 3 Austen's Kingdom at war maps converted to the new system. If you find issues in Austen's maps let us know, but be forgiving. He had to do some major conversions to get them into the new system. KeyWasFull plans on adding more sounds for his maps but is suffering from a recent hard drive crash and a loss of most of his sounds. Here's the complete list of changes for Tactical Battle version 1.10: 1 names of units to be defeated in the victory conditions can now include underscores. 2 Removing the defend_enabled flag from default map flags now removes the defend skill and also no longer crashes when the AI runs. (obsolete now) 3 Added a no_self_cast flag for skills. This can be used on skills that have the friendly flag but are not meant for the caster to use on themselves. 4 Added a "fly" flag for effects so you can add an effect to a unit to allow them to fly while the effect lasts. 5 Added a remove_effects= flag on skills that works just like the effects= flag except that it removes effects rather than adding them. 6 Effects that deal end of turn damage and are applied to units rather than tiles will now cause the damage as expected. (obsolete in the old system though the new system works correctly as well) 7 Added new flags to skills that allow you to hint to the AI at how the skill should be used. The flags are ai_heal, ai_buff, ai_curse, ai_tile_curse, ai_attack, ai_defend and ai_move. 8 Fixed a bug that would crash the game if the AI used a skill that resulted in it's own death. 9 Fixed a bug where the game ignored the no_movement flag when it is on an effect applied to a passive skill. 10 Made a huge re-write to the point system. Level creators can now create their own custom points rather than being restricted to the old hard coded HP, MP, and AP. 11 In the new point system there are no hard coded skills such as move, attack and defend. These are now more customizable by the player so that you can have units who can not attack or move for instance. 12 Implemented a death flag on effects which is used in the new point system. 13 Implemented a hide_old_points flag in the map defaults file to remove all the hard coded points and abilities from a new map. (now obsolete) 14 Added the ability to set flags for a skill while in the unit file, this is primarily used to alter how much damage attack does or it's range on a per unit basis as the attack skill is now treated as a normal skill in the new point system. 15 Added a map flag called music that let's you set the music for that map. Music files can be placed in the "Music" folder of your map pack. 16 Added a skill flag called move_self which is used to support the non-hard coded move skill but can also be used to support teleportation skills. 17 Added a Default unit flags.txt file. 18 Added a new key= flag for skills that allows you to set a hot key for using that s
[Audyssey] potential customizable RPG game?
Hi all, I just wanted to say that I think this Tactical battles game is not just focused on , well, tactical battles. Don't let the name fool you. The ultimate goal is to make this game a full fledged RPG game engine. One where people, yes, even dumb as rocks people like myself, can finally express their creativeness onto an audible gaming format. I would recommend anyone who wanted to be creative in a new way, or who just wants to see what it is like to edit and customize a game for educational purposes, this may be a good time to check it out. I have been testing it thru it's update and I can help anyone if they desire to experiment. Heck, I would even build a map for you if you wanted, just to help. Well, that's it. Check it out if you got the time and the inclination.

[Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update
Here is a post Ian Reed put on the audissey forum for his tactical battles game: Greetings all! I'm releasing Tactical Battle 1.12. It comes with KeyWasFull's new Tomb Robber series, an updated version of his Conquering RedWall Abbey series, and an updated version of Allan Thompson's One shot wonders / Zombie House. And of course my old getting started maps and an example map demonstrating the new items and equipment feature. Some of the highlights of 1.12 have been: random damage and chance to hit, scripting, random sounds, more customizable teams, the new rounds and turns system, effects that cause initial damage or healing just as skills do, effect modifiers that apply to a specific skill rather than all skills, items and equipment, and quite a few smaller but worthwhile features. Hope you all enjoy! Remember the game is free and the mailing list is the place to be if you want to create your own maps or interact with the map creators.

Re: [Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update
Hi Paul, I am glad you like the game. I just build maps here and there myself but whether playing or creating a map it is a blast. Unfortunately, you have to download the whole game over again. With the maps included it can be a bit big. Perhaps I could pull my map packs out of the one I downloaded and I can post the link to the new release from send space, it would be a smaller download I imagine. Let me know if you want me to do that. The email list Ian set up is also a good place to start for map creation. Everyone is pretty helpful, and Ian does a lot of developing in between releases that gets playtested and the like. al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Paul Lemm To: 'Gamers Discussion list' Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update
Hi Paul, Correct, I got one in there. It is called One shot wonders/zombie house. One shot wonders is is a joke since it only uses the one zombie house map. Most campaigns feature more then one. I based the map very loosely on the old black and white romero classic, the night of the living dead. The plot is simple. Some satellite falls to earth and starts emitting wacky zombie creating radiation. Hence forth, the world is plagued by brain eating undead. You play the survivors, four pros with guns, and about eight or nine generic survivors who have to search around for items to help them fight off the zombie horde. Also there is a house in the middile of the map which can be used to hold off the horde...for a little while anyway. I hope you enjoy it. Also be sure to check out the others maps as well, on the web site are map packs that are works in progress, but feature everything from fantasy, spaceships to christmas themes. Also if you have any suggestions or thoughts or complaints about any maps I make let me know. I am always willing to make the maps I make better. al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Paul Lemm To: 'Gamers Discussion list' Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 2:24 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

The game sounds interesting, and I like the name Power Slam. I am looking forward to this title.

I think I stopped watching after the stone cold steve austin and the Rock feud. al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2013 6:33 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Help Naming a Wrestling Game Hello everyone, As many of you know I have been working on a wrestling game for quite some time based on the WWE brand of superstars etc. The project started out as an attempt to simply rewrite the Dos Piledriver game, convert it to a 32-bit Windows application, and update the database of superstars with wrestlers like Edge, CM Punk, Sheamus, and so on. Basically, originally it was just going to be an updated version of Piledriver. However, as time went on the game evolved, became much better, and is moving in a direction entirely different from the original intent which is apt to happen with us crazy programmers. That's not such a bad thing. the current version is more like one of Jim Kitchen's sports games with Sapi for play by play action, pull down context menus, contains entrance music, crowd ambiance, start and ending bells, and so forth. In short, the game is no longer Piledriver per say, and is completely something new which I think needs its own title. Here is the problem. There are a number of WWE games on the market for the XBox, Play Station, PSP etc and I definitely don't want to get into entanglements over copyrights if I use a game title like WWE Raw Verses Smackdown, WWE All Stars, WWE Legends, and so forth. Generic names like Wrestling League Manager and so on just don't appeal to me. Piledriver, as mentioned above, is for all intents and purpose a different game which I don't want confused with my creation. So any thoughts or ideas on a cool title for the wrestling game I'm working on?

As mentioned before this game is a wrestling game written by a wrestling fan for wrestling fans and restricting certain performers would be counter productive in its intent. For example, I grew up in the 1980's and have many fond memories of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Brett Hart, etc from the early days of their wrestling careers. Now, assuming this is a game for wrestling fans it stands to reason I should be able to pull up a list of performers I want to wrestle and have the opportunity to be able to select two classic performers like Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage and reconstruct a match from the 1980's without restrictions. It would make little to no sense at all to me to pick a performer off of the current roster like John Cena, have him wrestle x number of matches, just to unlock certain performers that I might happen to want to play. This is in my opinion exactly the kind of differences that come up between a true fan of the sport and just a gamer. Gamers are looking for something extra, some un lockable content, something extra that makes the game just another fighting game. A fan, such as myself, needs no unlockable content to make the game enjoyable and in fact might find certain restrictions get in the way of his or her enjoyment. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Help Naming a Wrestling Game
Hi Tom, That is perfectly fine with me. I just wasn't sure how it would be played since I have never played pile driver, nor heard about it till now. Sounds fun! al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Monday, March 04, 2013 2:42 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Help Naming a Wrestling Game Hi Al, The game is essentially a turn based menu driven game much like Piledriver for Dos is. In case you don't know what I mean by that here is a basic idea of how it works. You have a menu of various types of moves such as Aerial, Brawling, Dirty, Grappling, Submission, Throws, and Finishers. Let's say for example you select Brawling. A new menu of options will appear such as Big Boot, Missile Dropkick, European Uppercut, Knee Lift, and so on. You select European Uppercut and your wrestler attempts to hit the computer opponent with an uppercut. If the move is successful the opponent will be stunned or knocked down to the mat. If it fails the computer opponent will be allowed to attempt to attack you with a move of its own. This will continue back and forth until a wrestler is pinned or submits. Now, there are two reasons why I didn't create a real time fighting game like Mortal Kombat as you suggest. First, is I don't have the money to purchase a library of sound effects for every potential wrestler, for every single move, and so on. Second, is there are so many different wrestling moves that it would be impossible to program keyboard commands for every single possibility. Even if I did so it would be difficult to remember each and every possible command. So I chose to keep the same game play as Piledriver, but added some sounds and music to it as well as Sapi support.

Re: [Audyssey] Help Naming a Wrestling Game
Wow, Tom, that sounds awesome! This isn't so much a suggestion as a question. Are you going to bother with tag teams? They still have tage teams, right? This is perhaps a suggestion, see what you think... What makes wrestling what it is is not just the matches themselves but the drama in between matches. So maybe, as an optional setting, one could select "drama" where between matches interesting events could happen that might or might not affect stats for a wrestler. I see it as a things like: "player's wrestler" gets attacked from behind in the back rooms! He thinks it was "next wrestler to fight". As a result he is a little less coordinated. or "During an interview, "player wrestler" got squirted in the eyes with burning hot coffee by "next challenger", He is ok, but his rage has increased to new levels of extreme danger and of course... "Players wrestler" girlfriend/lucky trunks/manager/favorite truck got stolen, and now he is distracted throwing off his focus for the upcoming belt! It wouldn't be anything too major, just adding or subtracting or even just doing nothing but entertaining so that the feel of the wrestling shows I used to watch would be there . 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.

[Audyssey] Adventure Game Engine release with Shadowgate adventure
Below is a trimmed version of Ian Reed's post to the audio forums about a new release of the Adventure Game Engine which features a great new adventure. Post is below. ***begin message*** Hi everyone, It's been ages since I've released a new version of the adventure game engine. For quite some time Nina0116 has been working on the ShadowGate adventure which is a port from ShadowGate for the original Nintendo. I'm happy to announce that Nina0116 has completed the adventure and now you can try it for yourselves. I want to give a big thanks to Nina0016 as the engine has been a bit of a pain to work with and Nina's feedback and willingness to trudge forward despite the engine's problems have really served to improve the engine. The game can be downloaded from http://BlindAudioGames.com I hope you all enjoy Nina's hard work. You can contact Nina0116 on the AudioGames.net forum on this thread: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=127170#p127170 Ian Reed ***end message*** "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] Brief Description of Shadow Gate
Hi Guys, For all those who might be interested, I want to give a brief description of the game, how it works, and a little about the awesome new adventure called Shadow Gate. AGE, or Adventure Game Engine, allows those with a desire, to make their own menu driven adventure games. It is free, with a simple registration process. The new update has made the game engine more user friendly for game creation. The game menu itself consists of the normal menu items like: Go, take, use, select, inspect, inventory, talk and things of that nature. Shadow Gate is about taking the role of an adventurer who is tasked to go forth and defeat an evil warlock who is attempting to summon forth a dread beast to conquer the world. It is filled with puzzles, wierd magical rooms, learning magic spells and plenty of exploration, not to mention a little humor. One of the interesting things about the adventure is that you need to keep an eye out for unlit torches. If your current burning torch starts to run out, you need to light up a fresh one, so there is an added element of danger. There is also save and load saved games so you can keep your progress thru the adventure and overall it is a real blast. All the music is from the original NES version, which is surprisingly catchy and fitting. If these type of games are something you enjoy, then give it a try. 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] Adventure Game Engine release withShadowgateadventure
Hi Charles, I think maybe I used IF when really I am talking about text adventures. Since I am not a big fan of either, I used the term to kind of cover it all, so sorry to all for the confusion. So, if that is the case with the cavern game, then I think a text adventure can be recreated on the game engine. Actually, I think I would love to see alot of the more popular text adventure games recreated. Especially Zork. That is one of two text adventure I remember playing. The other was on a friends computer, I think it was quest or dragon quest or maybe kings quest.

Re: [Audyssey] Brief Description of Shadow Gate
Hi Shawn, You might have wanted to put up a spoil alert or something for those who play the game, and didn't want to be given hints. That is the spoil alert for everyone reading this now in fact. If you are playing the shadow gate game and don't want hints, do not read further... Shawn, those things you mentioned were not bugs in the usual sense. There is several degrees of seperation between an atari port of a visually played nes game, and the audio version of the same game on a diffrent platform in an accessible format. There will be diffrences, and this isn't all that unusual. In the sighted world, especially with side scroller games or action games diffrent content will be snuck in for diffrent systems to keep the game fresh and to give incentive to buy the game for those diffrent consoles. For this game, I don't know. Nina might have omitted things out of forgetfulness, or it might have existed in the same way as on the atari port. Either way, those things you mentioned are not bugs. Secondly, the rope does do as you say, but you have to be a little more clever then the atari walkthru to figure it out. Use that sharp mind of yours and check out everything around you, and in your inventory, and you should be able to solve the puzzle. As for the use and select menu choices...ironically I mentioned the same exact thing to Ian a while back. I guess, for the time being, the best way to remember which does what is to think of "use" as useing it on yourself, or useing something like an unlocked door, or a bridge or even a staircase. "Select" is usually done when you want to use an item on some element in a room, like a pool, or a monster, or you want to use an item on another item, like a burning torch on an unlit torch. Lastly, yeah, the music is retro. I think it is quaint and takes me back to the nineties, lol. There is actually some shadow gate music called overclocked where people take old video game music and rock out with it, or turn it into disco, lol. http://ocremix.org/ al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: shaun everiss To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 1:40 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Brief Description of Shadow Gate --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Brief Description of Shadow Gate
Hi Shawn, I talked to Nina, and she said that she was only familiar with the NES version of the game. So it is entirely possible that the atari could have had diffrent content, either for keeping the game fresh, or just memory problems. Back then game consoles were no where near the memory capacity of an atari computer, so it could be that some things got cut from the NES, which would make sense. I never played the game before this adaptation, which I regret cause it seemed like it would be alot of fun. Shawn, if you could give me a link to the walkthru, or the walkthru itself, Nina said she wanted to take a look at it, and I am thinking she might want to put the content in the game you mentioned, but that is just my guess, she didn't say one way or the other. She did mention she is going to work on a zork port at some point which I think is going to be really interesting. SPOILER ALERT: Don't read further if you don't want to ruin the game. Shawn, You don't have to drop anything to use the bridge. I playtested the entire map and the bridge can't be used until you are ready to use it. Consider the inventory and objects you find, and notice anything that might seem to have a strange quality when inspected, especially when it might pertain to crossing a chasm with a rickety and dangerous bridge. Honestly, the walkthru is not doing you any favors. Play the game without it, and just work within the boundaries of the game itself, you will have alot more fun.

Re: [Audyssey] shadowgate
Yeah, I hear you on that. The age is actually more like a text adventure, and they aren't really geared for action, but more for puzzles. There might be weapons involved but usually it doesn't realy have rolling or anything of that nature.

Re: [Audyssey] Looking For Something New to Play
Hi Tom, God forbid that the audio dependant has to be shuffled into the iPhone as a game platform. Honestly, while I love the iPhone for what it does, I really haven't enjoyed anything in the game department that I thought I had to really have when it came to the IOS apps. Give me a PC any day of the week. Does this mean your wrestling game is hanging on this particular decision? As for new games, there is Tactical Battles and that shadowgate adventure and they are free...I got to check out what Dark mentioned too. Let me rephrase what I said earlier. I know IOS is probably the latest fad, but I am hoping a developer could do both, and not drop the one for the other.

I have a question, although it will make me sound stupid. Why were hackers trying to hack into the server or game? I guess I don't understand what the purpose of that would be.

Shaun, could you resend me the link to that shadowgate atari walkthru? I thought Nina got it, but she lost it or something. I did ask her about the switch in the well room.

I don't mind about the switch not doing anything, but the atary walkthrough made the game harder, dropping sertain things as an alternitive to what is there right now, sertainly a lot more puzzles in the atary walkthroughs the switch was an extra item. My plan tonight is to now I know what the game is supposed to do is follow the atary walkthrough. I like the idea of using the spellbook on things though to be honest I'd like the spellbook to disapear from the inventory and appear in its own menu like spells. for example. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

It is truly a shame... All this reminds me of Matthew Broderick in Wargames, ever see it?

Re: [Audyssey] wargames was Aprones games
Wow, I never knew there was a second wargames movie. It sounds awful, lol. I wonder how a audio game could simulate that wargames kind of thing?
