[Audyssey] Blind Gamers Being Taken Seriously?
that we are being wathched, and judged, even if we don't know it is being done. I respect Dark, and hope he keeps up what he is doing. I am bringing up a terrible fact, that all of us, whether we want to or not, have to choke down! We need to be one step ahead if we are to be taken seriously. That means checking spelling and the like. So, after all this rambling, what I hope to get across is that we need to do more than just write ideas to devs. We need to really make an effort to educate devs. Like it or not, we are viewed as inferior by a lot of people, not just game developers, and when we can come to grips with that, we will be stronger. Do I mean that the world is out to get us? Heck no. Nobody is out to get us. What I mean in all sincerity is that we need to push our strengths, whether we like it or not. Let's all focus on what we can do and how we can teach others, rather than whine, beg, and scream. Trustm e. It will work.

[Audyssey] SilverSword PDF from SilverSword-rpg.com is accessible. Was: RE: Silversword question
Hi Phil and all, I downloaded the silver sword manual from the silversword-rpg.com site under the downloads section. I am using the latest version of acrobat reader. Not sure which version of acrobat reader you have, but it comes up perfectly fine with links and headings for each section. In fact, I didn't even have to change the reading order. Wonder if Mario already updated the pdf just in the last three hours? If so, wow, that is quick work. By the way, the Game Mechanics you posted from your OCR copy were just as it says in the pdf.

Unfortunately, the documentation isn't ready, but I have written a few sample games to go along with the book. Since Lisa asked the question about programming games I was wondering how many others share her interest in perhaps writing games in Python. If so I happen to have a few very simple sample games written in Python aimed at a very beginner level. These definitely are not very complex affares. Mostly they are simple text based games like Guess the Number, Paper Scissors Rock, Blackjack, Number Stumper, and things like that. Entertaining as a first project, but not much else.

[Audyssey] Here are the instructions for connecting to dragon Realms with vipmud or similar clients.
Hi there. I am resending this message from earlier today, since I don't think it went through because I forgot to trim the message. grin Here you go. Hi there. In fact, it indeed works. I just did it about three minutes ago, and I will log on again very soon. Here is what I did. I logged onto dragonrealms.net and signed up for an account. After getting my account, and logging back into the site, including hitting that go play button. I was brought into the initial screen for my account wich has a group of radio buttons , which allow you to start a new character or choose your character, , and then it presents a group of radio buttons that gives you the choice for picking the wizard front end and a few other ones. I choose the wizard front end radio button, and hit enter on the go play! button. Now, since I have active X disabled for this site in IE and firefox, rather than launching the wizard client, a page comes up and says Preparing to launch DragonRealms Trial for the Wizard FE. If your game does not start automatically, click here. I right click on the link that says click here, and a choose save link as in FireFox or save target as if you are using IE. My character's name is galphner, so the filename is galphner.sal Once the file is saved, you will want to open the .sal file in notepad. Here is part of the contents of the one I just saved UPPORT=5535 GAME=WIZ GAMECODE=DR FULLGAMENAME=Wizard_Front_End GAMEFILE=WIZARD.EXE GAMEHOST=prime.dr.game.play.net GAMEPORT=4901 KEY=ba247ea0ffaf8c1529ae40e9693da03b You will want to make special note of the gamehost gameport and key entries. You will want to copy your key to the clipboard. In other words, copy everything to the right of the equals sign in the line that begins with key= If memory serves, the key will expire within fifteen minutes of generation, so you will want to be quick when you save the file and then run vipmud or your client of choice. So you would fill out your game host as prime.dr.game.play.net and your port as 4901 When you connect to the gameHost, it will act like you are connected to a blank connection. THis is where you paste your key that you copied to the clipboard int your mud client and press enter You then want to type, all in caps, the words FE/JAVA and press enter. You should be in and playing at that point. I just logged in, and am now playing dragonrealms with vipmud.

Unfortunately, I seem to no longer have a play.net account, which is where dragonrealms and gemstone IV are located! grin But anyway, here is a copy of a message I sent to the list regarding logging into gemstone IV with vipmud. I know the question is regarding dragonrealms, but I am sure that other than the difference in host names, the instructions would be the same. The below message talks about logging into the website as if you were going to login with the Wizard client. What you will want to do though is download the .sal file that comes up when you click on the go play link. The only way I was able to download this .sal file without Internet explorer trying to launch the wizard front end, was to use fire fox. That is why in the below message, I refer to firefox. You could probably stop the wizard frontend from launching if you disable active X for the dragonrealms.net site. Use the below at your own risk. Beings that it is the Christmas Holiday, I will be away from my computer for most of the next few days. I would suggest that you do a search in the play.net forums regarding logging in with a telnet client, that was where I originally got the instructions. Basicly, what you will need to do is get the userKey from the .sal file of your character. This is how simutronics keeps people from logging in for free. When you use vipmud to connect to whatever the host and port are, you will not see anything when you connect. This is normal. You will need to paste in the user key into vipmud's window and press enter. Again, you will see or hear nothing. You then want to type FE/JAVA all in caps as shown and press enter. You should then be good to go. Again, this is for gemstone IV but it will work with whatever dragonrealms uses as their host. Rest assured, Simutronics muds including dragon realms can be played with vipmud, at least, they could be played a few months ago. grin Jeremy Begin message. Ok, I managed to just get into gemstone iv with VipMud. What I had to do was use firefox to log into my account. When I clicked the go play button, a page came up saying that if my browser didn't launch using active x to click here. When I did, firefox brought a file save dialog with my character's .sal file, ie, grogrond.sal.

You should then be good to go. Again, this is for gemstone IV but it will work with whatever dragonrealms uses as their host. Rest assured, Simutronics muds including dragon realms can be played with vipmud, at least, they could be played a few months ago. grin Jeremy Begin message. Ok, I managed to just get into gemstone iv with VipMud. What I had to do was use firefox to log into my account. When I clicked the go play button, a page came up saying that if my browser didn't launch using active x to click here. When I did, firefox brought a file save dialog with my character's .sal file, ie, grogrond.sal. I then saved it to disc, and opened it in notepad, and copied the key to the clipboard, and used the host of prime.gs4.game.play.net and the port of 4900 entered into the host and port sections in vipMud. Then, I pasted the key from the clipboard and hit enter. I then typed FE/JAVA and hit enter. And I am now in! - Original Message - From: William L.

I think it's the best mud there is, but I found the frustration of using ZMud too much and eventually gave it up. I'm not sure what to tell you: Dragon Realms scrolls by as fast as any other mud on the Net. I knhow it's a dumb suggestion, but I suppose you could slow your voice rate down some. That would give you greater comprehensibility but of course you would be lagging behind whatever the mobs are doing. The only really bright thing I can tell you is that the maker of VIP Mud, the mud client designed especially for blind players, is considering adding Simutronics support in the next version.

Re: [Audyssey] Eamon deluxe
Yep, I did do that, and for the most part, Eamon works pretty darn well. I have never minded using the jaws cursor. The only little problem I had, and the reason I mentioned pressing alt+enter whenever you didn't hear speech, and the numbers sometimes going straight to other parts of the program, is that at one point, I would type a number, hear no speech, only to find that the screen had changed, and I went round and round in this maddening circle until I discovered what was happening. grin All in all though, with those modifications, and the little quirks, eamon is very usable, at least on this XP machine. I am going through each adventure, since I never played these on the Apple when I was younger.

The majority are streight up/down menues, so it's only necessary to use arrows to move, and so long as you count you should be okay. Only the first menue, the startup menue has numbers and moves in that way. For screen formatting and text sized issues, check the faq, sinse writing the character display to 80 instead of 40 is a good idea.

[Audyssey] Playing Nethack, either the DOS or Windows Version with Jaws, any tips?
Hello folks, With all the testing and playing I have been doing with Entombed recently, I thought it would be fun to check out some of the Rogue-like games out there. I am referring to NetHack in this message. I downloaded the DOS and Windows versions from Nethack.org. I know that Michael has written an access.nh file which should be copied to the defaults.nh file if one is playing the DOS version. I did also see that there is no equivalent access file for the windows port, but after looking at the various settings, I am sure that the same changes can be made. I decided to give the DOS version a go. I realize from other discussions on this list that some listers have problems running programs in DOS windows. Some of you have complained about the slowness in which a DOS program runs on things like windows xp. I am happy to say, I somehow don't have that problem, and I am able to play EamonDX and Fallthru without any real lag of time, and use Jaws version 10 or 11 for reading the screen in the DOS window. Ok, now onto my question for some of you real experienced NetHack players out there. Other than turning all punctuation on, and using the main jaws cursor commands, are there any other configurations I need to make? I am still getting used to what all those ascii symbols on the screen stand for, and have been using the slash command and reading the manual as much as I can. I'm pretty sure that it will just take some stumbling around, but I figured I would consult with any experienced netHack player, to see if they found other settings that worked better than those in the access.nh file, or other useful Jaws commands If nobody has anything else to add, then I will just keep on poking around here and see how far I get. grin Jeremy Hartley --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Jeremy. I've personally never had much luck with ascii games at all, owing to my lack of a braille display. I have however been very impressed with Angband found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angband_(video_game) for some great in built access features, such as ability to get a list of all on screen monsters and objects, ability to have a moveable curser which works like a curser in a screen reader and can flip betwene interesting objects and monsters on screen, --- and the character of course. I'd be very interested to know if these features existed in Nethack, sinse other than the highlighter curser, I couldn't find anything, which has been another contributing factor to me having difficulties with the game. Currently I play angband with a combination of my remaining site, an easy visibility graphical tile set, hal, and these access features, but I have been in discussion with the developer about adding more access features to the game to allow it to be playable entirely by commands alone. Such features I've suggested include a directional look command, and a basic distance factor expressed as coordinates to tell you the distance betwene your character and the object highlighted by Anband's highlight box. Hopefully we'll see these in a future release of Angband, and in the mean time, sinse Angband does I believe just use the standard ascii, I'd recommend it to people who might ahve braille displays due to it's great access features. Oh btw, if Angband can have these features added, they could also be added into angband innumerable varients, some of which are full rpg games with quests, many environments etc, which could then be accessible too.

Re: [Audyssey] the shields of q9
What I do is activate the shield with spacebar, and then I switch back to the club or slingshot. The shield will do damage for a certain amount of time, while you are facing the enemies, so I get the best of both worlds by using the shield for its timed usage, and wack the other enemies with the club or slingshot while the shield is still active.

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming change log
I actually like jumping with the up arrow as opposed to the control key. I know there was some discussion about how to jump, and some said that the only way they could jump across the pits was to hold down the up arrow key and then tap right arrow. I just played q9 again before writing this message, and I can say that I have never pressed and held up arrow to jump. I just tap up arrow and then hit the right arrow a few times while in the air. I just tried practicing doing the same jump with control, and although it is just a pinky tap away, I just like having the movement controls, other than running of course, controlled by one hand. Yeah I know you could hit the right control key as well, but I just don't see why. Whatever Philip decides, I will continue to support the game, having purchased it a few days ago. This was just my 1.3 cents.

There are basically a couple of keyboard modifications I think would make the game a little more user friendly. First, when running I'd like to see the runn command asigned to shift+left arrow and shift+right arrow. This is a very common keyboard asignment and it would make Q9 more like the mainstream games as well as Mysteries of the Ancients. It makes more sense to me than control+left arrow and control+right arrow. Second, if you wouldn't mind I'd like to see jump moved to the control key. Again this is much easier for me than trying to press up arrow and the left or right arrow key to jump left/right Thanks. Philip Bennefall wrote: Hi again folks, I am working on a 1.0.1 update release of the Q9 game which, of course, will be free for all registered users. So far, the change log looks like this: Version 1.0.1: Added: The alt key can now be used to quickly cycle between your weapons. Added: A section on saving games is now present in the manual. Added: Anchor links to the manual which will enable quicker navigation. Fixed: Fortune fields will no longer create mysterious ghost enemies. Fixed: Fortune fields can no longer be generated in the middle of a pit. Fixed: The sounds of the deus shield have been lowered slightly. Fixed: Going to a new world from the bonus level by using a cheat code now works properly. Version 1.0: Initial release. I will be adding the other game mode and score posting in the 1.1 release most likely as it takes a little more work, this is mainly a bugfix/general improvement patch. Is there anything else that any of you want to see changed?

[Audyssey] Games as a Navigation Teaching Tool, was: Re: My MOTA Decision
Hi folks, I am a bit late to this thread, but I just wanted to say that I totally agree with the thought that it is great to have a game that raises the bar and challenges people to stretch themselves mentally. This does not mean that I disagree with Thomas's decision about making side scrollers. I play Mota now, and will buy it when it comes out. I can see his point, as well as understand how frustrating 3d type environments can be for some to navigate. Many years ago, I too had problems trying to get my head around games that were not just 2d or side scroller in nature. I think a lot of the frustration stemmed from a lack of teaching about reading maps and understanding more advanced navigation concepts. To better understand the complexities of some of the games like Monkey Business, Sarah, SOD and others, I first decided to approach things as if I were walking around myself, even standing up while playing sometimes, and making 90 degree turns quite literally, just to picture my character walking, turning, and exploring. This helped me some. But the more I just gutted out the frustration and played the games, the more I was taught about navigating. Now, after several years, I prefer the more challenging environments. I guess what I am getting at is that sometimes we must get out of our comfort zones, even during play time, if we want to find ourselves challenged. Am I saying that everyone will and should learn how to navigate more complex environments? Absolutely not. I just think we all need to be gently reminded about the fact that sometimes a challenge is just what we need. I remember many years ago learning on my first computer. A lot of what I did was play games, in order to get a feel for typing and computer usage. I think a lot of us did that. We used games as teaching tools. We can do the same thing when we play games that have the more complex navigation environments. Games can be great tools for learning. maybe this will work for some of you, maybe not others, it is just one man's opinion.

I recently was reviewing the archives of recent messages and saw a discussion of the muds offered through Simutronics. In case anyone is not aware, it is possible to play these games with your favorite mud client of choice. To do so, you first must have an account with Simutronics for the game you wish to play. Here is how I've been able to play these muds through telnet in the past. Once you have an account and have downloaded the Simutronics launcher program and Wizard front-end, I'd also encourage you download a program called Simutronics game entry, which will allow you to log into the game by inputting your account name, password, and the game you wish to play. It may be called Ultimate Simutronics Game Entry now. Once you have logged in, the wizard program will load and put you into the game, and you'll likely hear some music to let you know you're in the mud. Then you'll have to type quit to exit the game. Here's where the fun begins: playing through telnet. When you log into the game with the wizard, a file is put into the root directory of your hard drive, usually your C drive. The file is called gse.~xt. It contains the authentication login key you'll need to access the game, and as an added bonus, it contains the host name and port you will telnet into, which I think is something like gs3.simutronics.net 4900. Copy everything after key= to the clipboard, as it will be the login key you'll use momentarily. It'll look like a long series of letters and numbers. Now you will run your mud client of choice and telnet to gs3.simutronics.net 4900. When you connect, your screen reader won't say anything. Now just paste the login key and hit Enter, then type the word JAVA, all in caps, and press Enter, whereupon you should see please wait for connection to game server. Now you're playing the game using telnet. If you log out and wait more than fifteen minutes or so, the login key you used to get in will be invalid, so you'll need to enter the game using the Simutronics Game Entry program and quit, following the steps I mentioned earlier, in order to play once again. The other Simutronics muds, Dragon realms, Alliance of Heroes, and Modus Operandi, each have their own telnet host and port names, but you can find those by looking for the gse.~xt file in the root directory of your hard drive. In case any are wondering, the Wikipedia entry on Gemstone IV mentions that using telnet to play Simutronics games is possible, and truthfully has been for years. I am not affiliated in any way with Simutronics, but just wanted to let players know that one can play their games through telnet and how to do so. Hope you all will find it useful. Now if there was a way to make the Wizard client for Legends of Terris or Legends of Cosrin accessible with JAWS or Window-Eyes.
Re: [Audyssey] Simutronics Gemstone IV with ZMud, has anyone played this mud?
I should say also that you need to have an account with play.net before you even attempt to connect to the mud with ZMud. The reason for this is because you are first directed to the simutronics login server which asks for your username and password. Note, this is not the same as your mud character name! So you should go to play.net and create an account first. You get a 30 day trial when you sign up, and you can cancel on the site at any time before then. Last note, I don't think you can just create a regular play.net account from within ZMud. I just signed up with the simutronics site and then connected with ZMud, so I could be mistaken.

Re: [Audyssey] Simutronics Gemstone IV with ZMud, has anyone played this mud?
You have to go to file|new|new character, and then select Gemstone III from the list of muds. Keep in mind though, that this is not a list box, jaws may not say anything when you land on it, but just hit your up and down arrow keys to hear the muds. You can also type the first letter of a mud. Notice I said you will need to select the Gemstone III selection, rather than Gemstone IV. This, I think, is because III and IV were on the same server. But, rest assured, you do in fact connect to GemStone IV even though you are according to ZMud connecting to GemStone III. grin Jeremy - Original Message - From: James Howard coldshadow...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, September 12, 2009 4:23 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Simutronics Gemstone IV with ZMud,has anyone played this mud?

[Audyssey] One final note about connecting to simutronics muds was: Re: Simutronics Gemstone IV with ZMud, has anyone played this mud?
This message goes along with the last message I sent answering the question of where to find the connection to Simutronics Gemstone IV from within ZMud. Unfortunately, as I was sending this last bit of info to the list, my computer rebooted, so I don't think it went through. Also, I forgot to trim the message size down, but there you go. Here is what I meant to post. I should say also that you need to have an account with play.net before you even attempt to connect to the mud with ZMud. The reason for this is because you are first directed to the simutronics login server which asks for your username and password. Note, this is not the same as your mud character name! So you should go to play.net and create an account first. You get a 30 day trial when you sign up, and you can cancel on the site at any time before then. Last note, I don't think you can just create a regular play.net account from within ZMud. I just signed up with the simutronics site and then connected with ZMud, so I could be mistaken.

Re: [Audyssey] learning c#
Hi Scott and all, You asked if c++ is my first language. The answer is both yes and no. grin For the last several years, I have spent some time trying to learn visual basic.net c sharp and c++. Each time, I would get sidetracked with work and personal life. So, no, c++ is not my very first language. However, this is the first time I am sticking to a language and seeing it all the way through. My experience has been that each author of a programming book has a different way of describing a topic. It is like taking a class in school. Some teachers I had I just didn't click with and try as I might, I just couldn't understand the subject matter. When I would either retake a class or take a similar course from another teacher, then the subject matter would click. I have found that if you read something and it just doesn't click the first time, keep it filed away in your mind and let your subconcious work with it a bit. Then, find more materials that may talk about the subject until you find the balance between subject matter and description. It doesn't happen overnight, and believe me, you will be spending a lot of time reading and rereading something from different sources. You may even feel that you are making no headway, but I can say with certainty that there will be a time when the light will flash in your mind and you will say, wow! I get it now! I guesss, my whole point in this ramblefest is to not stick to one way of learning. Spend time learning in all kinds of ways from all kinds of sources if you can.

Re: [Audyssey] Found a nice mud
Thanks Sarah, I am checking it out now. I go by galphner on there. This looks interesting. Jeremy - Original Message - From: Sarah Haake ti...@gmx.net To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2009 10:30 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Found a nice mud Hi, I just started playing on Lost Wishes Mud a week ago and I really like so far. It's a LP mud, wich are my favourites. It has over 100 quests, the equipment saves when you log out and it has a great tutorial for starting players. The room discriptions are very good and discriptive. There are no wilderness maps or such things and it has a special toggle for screen readers which disables the ascii grafics in the score display, for example. There are 13 guilds to choose from when reaching level 10, which I didn't reach yet, however. I really like this mud. I'ts great for exploring, reading good room discriptions and questing. The playerbase is quite small, there are around 30 players online in high time, but about 15 players are online at all times. I would recommend this muds for newbies and for veterans alike, especially for explorers and questers. This mud is defenately not a hack and slash thing. I think it's worth a look for everyone who likes mudding or wants to start doing so. The address is: lost.wishes.net port Feel free to ask me for help when you see me online, my character name is Lysandra. Hope to see some of you online.

[Audyssey] More information about the Dust Mare Mud.
Hello everyone. I know that Shadow Dragon mentioned the dust mare mud, or mare, a few weeks back. I also know that some of us have given it a go with various successes. I just wanted to quickly write and let everyone know that the admins are working on doing everything they can for blind and VI players. I am sort of the unofficial official admin for blind and VI players now, whatever that means. grin. We have been working to write more help files and intro materials for screen reader users. This screen reader support, along with the help system has a bit to go yet, but I am on quite a bit when I have time, it helps to have some down time at work, and I am more than happy to help those around who would like some initial assistance. The one cool thing about DustMare is that it has an RPG style storyline to go along with your basic mud style game play. I would strongly suggest this game for those of you who are looking for a mud more than just your basic stock hack and slash, timed quests, and lack of a true storyline. The address is at winds.org port 4000. Look for galphner, and if I am on, I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. To page me, just type page galphner=your message.

Re: [Audyssey] read:apba baseball
Hello. By itself, the game, I think, comes with two old-time stadiums. The rest of the stadiums you have to buy with stadium discs which are also listed along with the season discs on the website. With that said, I really haven't noticed any differences in game play if you just use a regular old stadium full time, although they try to build stadium and weather effects into the game. Again, this is a very old game as far as computer games go, and no real updates have been done to it since 1998 or 1999. Granted, new season and stadium discs are still being created, but the actual engine and core of the game have not been updated in ages. Regarding its accessibility with a screen reader, the menus for starting a game or exiting, in other words, your basic menu bar is accessible without the jaws cursor. Picking teams once you get to the teams selection dialog are listboxes and buttons, so really you can use your pc cursor for that. During game play you will have to use your jaws cursor for making player changes, pitching changes, and that kind of thing.

No, that is part of the actual menu system, but there are shortcut keys you can use during a game. I must admit, since I accidentally threw my apba cd into the garbage while moving five years ago, I haven't played it since then. And when I can afford it, I will get another copy unless they come out with a new version, which I am sort of waiting for. But, I really hated accidentally throwing the game into the trash! grin.

Re: [Audyssey] read:apba baseball
Yes, I will agree with you. I think they had bigger plans back when the prices were set all those years ago. Apba board game fans spend a lot of money on cards and that kind of thing, so I am guessing that they were hoping they could get the same kind of response from a computer game. I agree, considering what the industry has done, it is a lot of money to plunk down for a game.

Re: [Audyssey] read:apba baseball
Hello. You ask about an accessible manual, well, I hate to say this, because it sounds like I am being a bit harsh, but the keys are announced by your screen reader when you arrow through the menus. I don't know what your experience is with screen readers, but all I can say is that listening to what your screen reader tells you when you enter menus can give you a lot of info. This is true not only for apba games, but for any other applications as well. If you learn your tools, you can build a great house, as it were. But, the manual is in a standard .hlp file when you install the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Other baseball computer games.
Hello. I would strongly advise looking at that website I gave you for more details than I can give you in a quick mailing. I will answer your questions on list, just in case others are also wondering. There is no career mode so-to-speak, meaning that you can not play more than one season and have them accumulate for years. However, they have what are called season discs and again, I suggest going to the website to see which season discs and team discs are available. It also has a schedule maker for playing things like regular seasons and world serieses, playoffs, etc. There is no trial period for the game, since it runs off of the cd-rom, due to all the sound files for commentary. But I assure you, it is accessible as far as menus and that are concerned. I warn you that during the game you will have to use the jaws or window-eyes or Hal cursors to do things like put in relief pitchers and change player positions, but again, it is all right there on the screen. You can indeed edit rosters, player names, and team names.

Hey there. I am writing this question to the list since I know there are a few of us on this DustMare mud now. So rather than just posing this to the admin of the mud, I figured I would put this question here so everyone who may wonder can get the question answered. This regards the +channel command. Now, for those of you with the punctuation turned off in your screen reader the command is plus channel, that is the word channel with the plus sign in front. Anyway, last night, the public channel was driving me nuts, so I disabled it with a +channel -public command. That is, +channel with a dash in front of the word public. I didn't see any documentation regarding how to enable and disable channels, so I am just guessing from my experience of muds past. grin. When I checked my channel list, I was indeed off of the public channel. I did find the public channel somewhat helpful at times yesterday, so I would like to enable it and disable it at will. No matter what I do, I can not reenable the public channel. I have tryed +channel +public,the plus sign with the word public, also putting the plus sign at the end of public, and all I do is succeed in creating my own channels called plus public and public plus! Lol. At any rate, if anyone who plays on this mud has the answer to this one, that's cool, if not, I will take it to the admin. Hmm, maybe some of us blind DustMare players can help the admin write some updated documentation?

Hello. Besides the stratomatic baseball game, there is an older game called Apba Broadcast Blast, put out by Apba. They still sell it at http://www.apbastadium.com and the game is called baseball for windows. They are apparently making a new version, but no new announcements have been coming out for the last two years or so. The cool thing about this game is that it is completely voiced by Ernie Harwell, including all names. What they do is have a database of several thousand names on the cd-rom, and even if a team or player is represented by one letter due to copyrights etc, the names are still in the database, and you can rename the players or teams as needed.As you may guess, do to all the files, the game must be run from the cd-rom each time, but it is very quick in spite of that. .

I mainly use arcade mode when I am trying to figure out how to play Mota. But recently, I have just been playing first person mode, now that I have a better handle on how the game is layed out.

Over the passed few days/weeks I have been involved in performing a major upgrade of Mysteries of the Ancients. As the work I am doing is largely experimental I don't want to say too much about the work as yet. Although, I think if it pans out it will be a big step forward with the game, and possably will resolve several issues with the game. That said, here is the deal. I've been porting MOTA over to a newer version of the Genesis Engine, and so far so good. Thing is since Genesis is primarily for First Person style games I never put an arcade mode in the main Genesis Engine. It was strictly an addition to the modified engine for Mysteries of the Ancients. Obviously I can add an arcade mode to the Genesis Engine, make it a standard feature, but I'm not sure if that is necessary. So I am going to ask this question. When playing Mysteries of the Ancients do you prefer arcade mode or standard mode when playing?

Hey there. Well, you could be having some kind of firewall issue, but let's try something first. Try this. Instead of trying to connect to the domain name: try connecting to the ip address instead. I found out what it was by pinging the domain.

Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] Re: Where to download mota version 4
Dark, This has nothing to do with me being upset. If you read down in my e-mail, and I know you did, I said that his joke was cool, but I do know that people put e-mails aside for later. I don't understand how you thought I was getting upset. I was just stating something that was true, the fact that Thomas was saying that his next beta would be released in a few days, and that was at the end of March, and if you think about it, if a developer says that, then you will look for something in the next few days. And, let's face it, some folks don't like being told that they were gotten, if they were just putting things off to the side until they were ready to download the beta. You, being the moderator of audio games should understand that. We don't know when someone will be put off from downloading a game.

[Audyssey] Guess I got up on the wrong side of the E-mail Yesterday. Was Re: Where to download mota version 4
Hi folks. Since I sort of opened this can of worms, I will do my best to close it back up again, without making this a long drawn out message that is hard to write and even harder to read. grin First off, I love April Fool pranks, and I did get a kick out of this one Basically, I just snapped yesterday. It is funny what tiny little thing can set a person off at times. I work with a lot of newly blinded folks, teaching them how to use computers and that kind of thing. It just so happened yesterday, I had two clients that were like scared little rabbits when it comes to the computer. In such cases, every little step they can make to use a computer is a wonderful thing. When I saw the post asking where to download Mota Beta four, it was clearly obvious that the individual did not read the e-mail, and went straight to the web site. Like Charles says, one should read all e-mails when a new game or beta comes out. This is true and does make sense. However, Thomas did post a message several days back, discussing the new features in beta four,, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone may have just gone to the website rather than rereading something that was already posted a few days back. When I read that e-mail, a thought occurred to me. What if the person asking the question was like these two clients. They saw a message, went to the web site, looked for the game, couldn't find it, and posted what they thought was a legitimate question? And what if reading a message, no matter how much in fun it was, saying wow they sure fell for the joke didn't they, was enough to make a beginner turn away thinking that people thought them incompetent? Yeah yeah, I know, that sounds silly, and blown way out of proportion. grin But, in my line of work, I have seen it happen before. Like I said though, I know I blew things out of proportion, and I chock it up to having one of those work days that just drive you nuts. I should have never even posted, but since I did, I can't undo the situation. grin All I can do is try and dig myself out of this hole and apologize. Sheepish grin. Ok, snap and message over. grin Game on! Jeremy --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Configuring Eamon Deluxe.
Hello. Well, I did manage to get aemon for windows to run, and I am having very little issue with it. However, I am aware of the bogging down problems you and others are having. I too had similar problems with other programs that run in a dos window. Ever since I got this new machine about a year ago, a duel core 3.0ghz processor and 2 gb of ram, I haven't had those slow down issues at all. Now, I know some of you may be saying that you have similar spec machines, and perhaps that isn't the issue? I'm not sure. All I know is that when I bought this machine from sonica labbs, they really turned off a lot of background processes, since this is a machine designed for audio production. I write all this mainly to let people know that the program does run, at least if you are running jaws, I have had issue with it with window-eyes 7 thus far, but I don't know if the slow down is from the computer specs or some background process running that causes things to not work with dos-based programs.

Re: [Audyssey] The Great Escape Version 1.01
Hey there Folks, Just to add my two sense into this thread. Yes, Louis did a great job recreating a game that, if memory serves, was originally on the Apple II computers in 1984 or so. If I remember correctly, the original great escape was written by Delton T. Horn for a book about how to write apple games. I am so glad that Louis has made a port of this game that isn't sluggish like the other DOS port. OF course, when the other DOS port came out, I don't think Windows XP was even out yet, and of course, we all know about trying to play certain dos games under XP. grin At any rate, Louis, you brought back a lot of memories for me, I spent hours on end playing this game 20 years ago on an old Apple II GS computer with the echo pc synthesizer. . grin Great job.

Re: [Audyssey] live gaming
Liam, This is great! Looks like I will need to save up for a play station now. grin I guess it is a good thing that work is picking up. grin About 15 years ago, I used to play the old sportstalk baseball and football games on the Sega genesis system, and I thought they were incredibly advanced games as far as commentary for its time. . But this mlb the show sounds like the kind of game I have always wanted to play. Isn't it funny, no matter how old one gets, they still have a soft spot in their hearts for a video game they have always wanted to see made, and it looks like this mlb the show has really hit a home run. grin Jeremy - Original Message - From: Liam Erven [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org; We Can Play [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2008 9:00 AM Subject: [Audyssey] live gaming Hi guys: I think there's a lot of baseball fans on list.

Re: [Audyssey] Any suggestions for the savage gamut?
When I first played the game several years ago, my first thought was, wow, how will I learn this punch counter punch thing? grin But I took some time to work on one punch counterpunch sequence over and over again until I was able to commit it to memory. Then I went to the next sequence. Yeah it took a long time, but it wasn't that difficult after some work. I too would like the ability to duck and dodge punches and put together combinations of punches like in real boxing.

Re: [Audyssey] off topic but urgent
Hello. It has been a long time since I have done this, but here are the steps I believe you need to take. What I did before was to save the attachment first. I used outlook express, so I opened the message that contains the attachment and selected save attachments from the file menu. I am not sure what e-mail client you are using. Anyway, if you get the attachment saved to disc, you can navigate to it in windows explorer. Then right click or press the applications key while on the file. Go to properties. You may need to use your screen reader's cursoring keys to find the unblock button. Again, I know it was in the properties, but you may need to go through the various tabbs in properties before you find it.

Hello. I have just finished the third part of the Sryth giants story, and now have finished all the various quests in the game. My thoughts on Sryth are as follows: In my opinion, if you want to start with magical powers, especially more than one in the beginning, you should consider joining the Adventurers guild. When you join the AG you can pick from a list of generated characters with various skills and powers. Also the adventurers guild adds some incredible content to the game, and the creater keeps adding fresh content. In terms of magical powers being helpful, for me, they didn't start being very helpful until my level of mastery was about 35 or 40 in a given power. Another trick I have found is to not equip yourself with your weapon until you get ready to click the begin combat button. The monsters seem to power up based on your melee rating, and since weapons increase the MR I have found it helpful not to equip myself with a weapon until the monster has already been created.

Someone gave a link to this game yesterday and I signed up for it and really like it so far. I was just wondering, how would go about getting magical powers to use? I didn't see an option for that when I set up my character. I was kind of wondering if joining the adventurer's guild is worth the money too ... if anyone's done that and can give what the difference is between that and regular playing I wouldn't mind knowing about it.

[Audyssey] One more thought about Magical powers, Was: Re: Sryth.
I almost forgot to say this about magical powers. Throughout the game, there are some adventures that will give your character a magical power after you have completed the quest. Since I am an AG member, I don't know if these adventures are only for AG members. Jeremy ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] query bout pbx wildwest
Hi Charles, Thanks for that, however, I was answering Liam's question about why he was losing a ball after pressing the spacebar to block the center punch. That was why I said that one needs to press space again in order to throw a center punch so one doesn't lose a ball. I probably should have been more clear that I was answering the question. That's what I get for rushing! grin Jeremy - Original Message - From: Charles Rivard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 11:20 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] query bout pbx wildwest The game works like ESP WhoopAss. You block a punch by pressing the key associated with the punch that was thrown at you, then throw your own punch which must be different than the one you blocked. ___ Gamers mailing list ..
