Re: [Audyssey] swamp trucksitting
If a player in a team is trying and cannot find crates, others can always tell him where it is and let him go collect it. That way that player can also learn. I am not sure what is the problem about collecting crates too fast. If you can end the mission in less than 10 minutes, no 1 gets kick out. If you decide that others are not contributing and they should not share your rep and exp, wait for their time limit. I think this way every1 has a fair play ground. As for kicking players, we can forsee some of them doing that just because they doesn't like that person to be in no matter how much he contribute. If you look at the chat, it's obvious that many there are very bias towards certain groups. Say if a truck sitter leads a mission and a searcher joins, the searcher turn in most of the crates and get kick out just before the last crate. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2012 10:37 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp trucksitting This idea was considered a while back, but we had the problem of players legitimately being unable to find crates in large teams.

Hi Jeremy and other swamp players, A suggestion to deal with truck sitters. How about making it something like the lms mission where the player's mission time count down? Start off with 10 minutes. That should be more than enough to find at least 1 crate in any warehouse mission. Each crate found adds 3 minutes to the clock with no cap. Then all we have to do is to wait for them to run out of time.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp XP Question
Hi Dakotah, is the type of zombies you kill. I didn't keep track of the xp you get for each type of zombies but i believe you get the highest xp for killing a tiren. The weapons you use determines how much rep you get. So on normal maps, i use loud weapons to attract more zombies and get my xp up fast.

I thought it was weapon used, meaning that there was some sort of modifier placed on xp based on your weapon choice, but that doesn't seem to be the case, or at least maybe the modifier doesn't make sense. The reason I open so boldly is because I am playing a largely melee character. I think that the character should get more xp for killing a zombie with an axe or chainsaw rather than a pistol or shotgun, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Shouldn't a player get more xp for killing a zombie with a more difficult weapon? I don't know what the modifier should be. Not range, because the pistol is shortrange, as are axe and chainsaw, but the shotgun is also short range, and it is devastating. The sniper rifle is very long range, but it is very hard to hit zombies with that gun. Perhaps there should just be a modifier of personal choice. Jeremy, you decide how hard it is to use a weapon and modify xp on that basis. I just don't think it makes much sense to gain the same experience no matter how you kill zombies. Reputation, sure, keep that the same if you want, but xp is the key.

Re: [Audyssey] tennis, anyone?
Blind tennis or also called soundball tennis, a blind person can play with a fully sighted person but with different rules. we are allowed up to 3 bounces before we return the ball. A fully sighted has to return on the 1st bounce and parcially sighted allow up to 2 bounces. Yes, is not an equal playing field to make up for our disadvantages. A sighted person can tell exactly where the direction the ball is heading, it's hight and speed very early and react accordingly. whereas we are like having an unstable connection with the ball because the sound is not constantly ringing so we need more time to process then react. Given that, I still do miss the ball after training for 2 months and no where near being able to play a match yet, but i do see my progress. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Ryan Strunk ryan.str...@gmail.com To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, June 08, 2012 10:21 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] tennis, anyone? After reading the article and seeing your feedback, I can't help but nod my head in agreement. It got me to thinking about a perennial problem with so-called blind sports, and I wonder what the solution is. If this strays too far from the realm of accessible gaming, please feel free to steer the topic back in a more suitable direction. In all blind sports I have seen--goal ball, beep baseball, accessible cricket, power showdown, and now this--the common trend seems to be that blind players are forced to play only with other blind players. In some of these sports totally blind people even get a different set of rules than those with partial sight. Nuts to that, and I have some residual vision. The article talks about how tennis teaches blind people that they can do the same things as their sighted peers, but I'm having trouble seeing how modified tennis makes that case. Certainly I believe that blindness can be relegated to the level of an inconvenience, and I believe that given the proper training and opportunity, blind people can compete on an equal playing field with the sighted--no pun intended--but I don't know if that's often the case when it comes to sports. I know that certain forms of martial arts lend themselves to equal competition between blind and sighted people; one of my co-workers this Summer takes part in UFC fights. I myself wrestled for 8 years while going to school. But when it comes to other sports, especially team sports, I wonder how we could go about participating on an equal level. Is the answer to create a new sport that blind and sighted people can play together? Do we develop a new set of techniques so that we, too, can play pickup basketball? I don't know, but I'd sure like to find out. My days of training to be a star athlete are certainly behind me, but it's not too late for the younger guys.

On a side note you are definitely correct that games are primarily for fun. The other thing to consider is that any time a game is multiplayer you are accepting responsibilities that wouldn't exist in a single player game. This even translates into real life. If playing a game of chess against yourself for practice, you might just walk away and come back an hour later. When playing with another person you have a responsibility to them which keeps you from doing that same thing. While the responsibilities are different depending on the game, I do believe every game becomes driven by more than simply fun once other people are involved. This wasn't meant to dismiss your ideas Johnny, I still plan to give this some thought to see if I can come up with a solution that fits with my design but also makes people happy. Speaking purely from a gamer point of view, I think that the point of a game is, well, for fun, and thus, when real life suddenly demands your attention, it should be reasonable to be able to pause that fun while you run like mad to the washroom...just for example...without, as someone pointed out, losing a week, or even month, worth of careful playing and saving up items. Otherwise, without such option, many of us probably wouldn't play swamp at all unless we know we are sure to have a few hours of uninterupted play-time at least, which in my case/life style, is pretty much impossible. Granted you can go to the safe zone and idle there, but if I'm on the other side of town, I don't have the time to run to safe zone without missing say, that important phone call from a client. If pause is too abuseable, then at least give an instant recall to safe zone option, say make it cost 200 rep or something, so when something urgent comes up, we at least have that way out fast. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Hi Thomas, I hope you won't have the same type of so call slight confusion with those programming languages you didn't use for quite a while, didn't care about and again giving others the wrong information. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 5:16 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question Hi Kelvin, Actually, I have played Swamp before, but not for quite a while. I tried it out, found I didn't really care for the game, and stopped playing it. So my experience is limited to a few hours of playing it in single player mode. The reason I thought w walked forward and s walked backward is that is a typical FPS setup for mainstream games. Jedi Knight, a lot of the newer Tomb Raider games, as well as a few others I could name allowed you to walk forward/backward with w/s and you could turn etc with the mouse.

Re: [Audyssey] Some online MK matches for you guys.
I enjoyed listening to the fight and my favorite is match 6, liu kang vs kitana especially round 2. I like to hear people using liu kang. When i listen to the recording, i was supporting your friend instead of you. haha! For some reasons, i don't quite like scorpion and i can't use him that well.

[Audyssey] swamp mission and character upgrade
Hi Jeremy, the mission that lvl 15 can lead and the 1 above lvl 20 both require the players to load 12 items to the truck. What is the actual difference between the two besides one require more rep to join and higher reward? Comments on character upgrade. I don't have enough points to try out but I guess we can't feel much difference with the upgrade for heavy weapons like m60, sniper rifle and mini gun because they are already very powerful without the upgrade and mostly take one or at most 2 shots to kill a zombie. Maybe you can consider replacing the critical strike and more damage power with less chance of being broken and faster reload. I think it might be more helpful. Same for the chainsaw. Since it already has little chance of broken, how about longer range upgrade and higher chance of blocking zombie hits? I did try using it after you did the modification. It does help a bit but I still end up donating. It is very expensive to use. I have to use up lots of fuel doing blank shots and med kits. Although axe is less powerful and i use it without defencive mode, the pay off for killing zombies is the same and doesn't need any ammo so is very much more worth it. 锦发/Steady Goh --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] swamp idea for map 3
Hi Jeremy, My random thought for another map for swamp. The whole thing is an open concept, no save zone, no buildings and no obstacles. Only a transport station. the map size is just half or maybe even smaller the current map1, about 200 by 200 or even shrink to 100 by 100. not too sure about that. The number of zombies and loots spond remains the same as the existing map. So is kind of like a survival mode where we have many concentrated at a small area. The way to enter that area is by some kind of transport or teleporter which goes back and forth regularly between a certain spot in sz to map 3 transport station. And that teleporter only activates at an interval of not less than one minute. To return to sz, we will have to wait at that transport station for the teleporter. If we are lucky, it will arrive within seconds. While waiting we still have to defend ourselves. 锦发/Steady Goh --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp idea for map 3
Every one you kill there is another spond somewhere. What you said is true in a way but constantly against hundreds might not be as easy as you make it sounded. The time you take to reload and healing is their chance. + weapons get broken. Have you done missions yet? From the way you said, you must be a very good guard. Anyway, after a certain point, rep won't mean much. I am at lvl 79 and have 16 rep in my 1.8 account. I can easily afford 10 of each weapons. Even so, I'm not sure i can survive the attack. Anyhow, this idea just came to mind.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp mission suggestions
Actually med kits are not really valuable. There are plenty on the map. Even if the break point is at 90%, I believe I will still heal. 75% won't really change how i play but 90% might. I usually donate most of my med kits and my field kit before i go out on the run. I am pretty sure i will find before my health drops below 75%.

If anyone is interested in giving this a try, here is the download link. Be warned that the character you play during this test will be gone once the testing is finished, so don't get too attached to it Haha. Also, because this test would overwrite many files, keep it in a separate folder from your normal Swamp game! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6855861/SwampTest.zip You'll notice new options when you browse through the Safe zone menu.

The instance missions are working but don't try to cancel a mission after you've created it. That's the part I'm still working on so it will just end up giving you a bunch of garbage messages. Because this is just a test, I will pop in to give people weapons and ammo in order to help everyone level up faster. I'm heading to bed right now though, so that extra help won't show up until the morning. :) Once I've finished up the code and fixed any problems this test reveals, I'll officially switch things over and update Swamp to this version.

Hi Jeremy, When i start the game with no field kit and med kit, and collect a field kit outside, it will have a med kit in it. but when i unload, my med kit count becomes 0. but if i already have med kits at the start, the count is correct. Not sure but i think this also happened to the 2 short gun shells that were in my short gun. I think this has got to do with if we start the game and collect a weapon, it is loaded. but if we donate it and collect again, it is empty. This is also 1 reason people exit game and re-enter a lot. Whether the weapon is empty or loaded i am ok, but i think it should be standardised. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com To: audyssey gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 1:24 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Swamp needs some volunteer testers The version 1.9b update is still being finished up, but in the mean time I am looking for volunteers to help search for bugs. A separate test server has been set up and it is running a test version of 1.9. I only plan to maintain this test server for a day or two while I clear up the few remaining code issues. If anyone is interested in giving this a try, here is the download link. Be warned that the character you play during this test will be gone once the testing is finished, so don't get too attached to it Haha. Also, because this test would overwrite many files, keep it in a separate folder from your normal Swamp game! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6855861/SwampTest.zip You'll notice new options when you browse through the Safe zone menu. Once you reach level 10, the next area can be accessed from the blown up building that is south on Green lane. You'll go into the entrance sewer pipe and press Enter. The instance missions are working but don't try to cancel a mission after you've created it. That's the part I'm still working on so it will just end up giving you a bunch of garbage messages. Because this is just a test, I will pop in to give people weapons and ammo in order to help everyone level up faster. I'm heading to bed right now though, so that extra help won't show up until the morning. :) Once I've finished up the code and fixed any problems this test reveals, I'll officially switch things over and update Swamp to this version. Good luck and thanks in advance to anyone willing to test! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] swamp silent killer
Hi Jeremy, I just experienced a weird behaviour in swamp. I heard tuns of loots in the factory. Once i enter, i don't hear my footsteps. the sound of the flies still play and when i move forward, the sound of the flies pan to my position nicely. when I collected items, the taking sound also didn't play. only message by my speech. I sensed something wrong there and hit the x key. I was right. health was only 14%. i realised it too late. the next thing my reader tell me, i was killed. hmm...the tuns of loots was a plot to attract me in and they know my weakness. but...i still don't think zombies are that smart to plan this cool tactic on me by themselves. did you ...? haha! 锦发/Steady Goh --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Merry Christmas
Hi gamers list moderator, what game are you talking about? Since you allow this to go on, it must be game related and on topic and I must be missing something? What is the website to download this game? 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2011 1:32 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Merry Christmas HI Dark, Yeah, that's my feeling as well over the debate of merry Christmas verses happy holidays. It is not just that it infringes upon a person's first amendment rights, but it also strips them of their individuality. One of the things we should be learning is tolerance towards others and how to respect other peoples religious views etc as they are instead of molding them into identical robots. The politically correct crowd expect everyone to adopt a universal secular view of the holidays and any sign of individuality is unacceptable. That to me is more offensive because it doesn't allow people to share their thoughts, views, and holidays with others regardless of if it is Christianity, Islam, Judaism,or Wicca. It is as you say as though none of them are important enough to mention by name. What really gets me is having studied various religions myself I've come to see certain themes or beliefs that appear to be universal among the major religions of the world. While they might not be exact its the kind of friendly debate that should happen among people to see where they agree and where they don't. For example, Something like the Five Pillars of Islam is actually something that people of all religions embrace in one form or another. Love God with all your heart, love your neighbor and do unto him/her as you'd have them do unto you, pray without sea sing, etc. Its the foundational teachings of Islam and both Christians and Jews would agree with those principles. While Islam does not accept Jesus Christ as the son of God they do consider him a prophet and many of the fundamental teachings from the new testament appear in the Koran too. So why are political extremists so eager to wipe out peoples individual views instead of discussing them openly? Cheers! On 12/26/11, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Agreed Bryan. To me reducing everything to happy holidays is actually offensive to every religion, rather than inoffensive to all, it's as if none! are worth acknolidgement.

I don't quite like the idea of being able to give stuffs to people.

If you decreased the fly sound, you'd trade easier localization for less range in hearing the loot sound. I personally like the way it is, even with the disorienting effect of the flies as they are.

I'll pass this suggestion along to Kai. As it's a sound issue, that is his department. :) With the graphics I knew that no matter what the sighted players would have an advantage in some ways, so I tried to restrict them in others. So rather than making their situation easier it just makes it different. In close range they will have an easier time, but at long range the blind users do. Oh. It's good to know the range. That makes me feel a lot better. Also, this is the first game that my friend and I agree gives pretty much the same info to the sighted and blind player. I must as a question, or perhaps suggest a change. He and I both agree that, when you're in a huge loot-grabbing situation, the overwhelming number of the flies makes it very, very difficult to hear. Now, I understand that this might be a point of game balance. However, I wonder if the sound could be changed from an epic, Amityville Horror style swarm of flies to a few flies buzzing around. When you get any more than three loot spawns in the same spot, it sounds like you're a beekeeper with them buzzing inside your ears as well as out. I like the idea of flies, though, because it's a lot more of an environmental emersion than, say, beep, beep, oh loot!

I've been out of the loop for a while but it was my understanding that escape just pauses the game and brings you back to the main menu and if you want to continue your game, you press escape a second time. It's like a toggle. Perhaps this was only true for single player mode? maybe it should ask are you sure you want to quick and then you'd have to spell out the word exit if you really mean it. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp: recoil can get you killed.
I wonder if rapid fire really helps.

It also seems to stack cumulatively which might not be fair.

[Audyssey] Panning sounds Re: ammo in swamp
Hi Jeremy, my wild guess is the problem might not be a panning sound bug. I find that my mouse movement control isn't as smooth as the previous version. sometimes when zombies are towards one side and i try to turn, i am still facing the same direction. that might make players feel that is the panning problem. When that happens, usually moving back a few steps the mouse will work again. As for the ambient sounds keep playing after we leave that place, it happens when that area has many bees all around, many zombies foot steps and growling at the same time. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 7:37 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] ammo in swamp I was also thinking of Shift + R. Well I've had a few people asking when the next update will be posted so I should bring it up here. As many of you know I worked double shifts all last week and will be working double shifts each day this week as well. This has totally destroyed any chances of me working on code except on the weekends for right now. I've been working to fix the several reported bugs, but I'm still trying to figure out why some people are getting a bug with the panning sounds, zombies, and ambient noises. I believe all 3 are related, but so far I haven't spotted the problem. The other bug reports are all fixed as far as I know, so I'm really just waiting to solve this last one before I upload the update. I'd actually prefer Shift + R. Keeps the commands on one hand.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, version 1.6b update
I suggested deducting rep points so to lessen the chat and knew that spammers will disagree. but since we will have different channels, is good. chat spammers have their own channel and those who are more into game play have our own channel.

I likewise don't really understand the medkits healing zombies... I think a limit needs to be drawn somewhere, and some things should be purely beneficial, rather than modified just for feature's sake. Medkits heal players, and players need to load them one at a time. How much more need there be really? I think that once Jeremy has the channel system in place, it should cure most of these problems. What would be nice is if the channels had a frequency range from 20.000 to 11,000.000. Pressing control slash would then let you enter in a frequency number, with 20.000 being the default, public channel. If you're having issues with alt slash, delete your keyconfig.ini. It seemed to fix the problem for me. I honestly would rather prefer Jeremy mend the bugs that are there and continue working on missions, rather than burdening him with more exotic game ideas.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp
Hi Che, I very much wish to play team work. will sure give more depth to the game and I believe jeremy intended this way especially looking at how the field kit works. The main problem i feel is often we can't really tell whether is it zombies and our team mate near by. And it won't make sense to make zombies growl continuously. We need to put more heads together to find a way around it. now we actually waste a lot of ammo shooting at friends. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Che blindadrenal...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2011 8:54 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp I would say the majority of the players i've talked with like the fact you pay a stiff penalty if you die, myself included. I know some people just want action all the time, but swamp isn't really designed that way it seems to me. if you can get into the spirit of the MP play by planning out your attacks, making sure you don't walk into a situation where you might get ambushed, etc. you'll appreciate the game more, and start to feel more in tune with your character. One thing I would personally like to see more of is team work, and maybe missions that require teamwork down the line. it seems most folks just do their own thing, when a couple of players cooperating can really do some damage if they have their crap together. To that end, my name on there is B A if anyone ever needs backup or whatever. One question though, didn't we get 5 rep points per kill before, and now we get 1? this seems a bit on the cheap side, considering 20 rounds of .45 ammo costs you 30 rep, leather jacket is 40 i think, etc. i love the idea of reputation as barter, and hopefully the rep economy can be tweaked out as we go here. having to kill 100 zombies to buy a shotgun is a bit expensive. also, if you haven't already and your spending hours of time in the game, remember even a five dollar donation helps out, jeremy could easily be charging 50 bucks for this game, so do the right thing and help support a great game developer. happy hunting, che On 11/26/2011 6:22 PM, Ryan Strunk wrote: I have to agree with the latter traffic in stating that death in the game should cost you your equipment, especially considering some of the other mechanics that exist.

And that's not even considering what they'd do to your body. It sucks losing your gear after an hour of hunting, but that's the danger in being out hunting for an hour.

[Audyssey] swamp, little tips on getting out of buildings
It can be quite frustrating if you keep banging your head against the building wall. This is how I get out of buildings. Always face direct compass positions.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp saving game question
Thanks Dakotah for your reply. I know that i won't be attacked even when I am 1 step in front of it. I'm just trying to make the save zone a place where we can move around freely. The two guards outside the save zone must be sleeping. haha! As for the guns being empty, if jeremy design it this way i can certainly accept that.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp suggestions and questions
Hi Jeremy, just had my hands on this game two days ago. Thanks for another cool game and also thanks Darren for the nice review. Looking forward to the update.

The Grenade in the next update is going to be a rare and extra powerful item. In many games, grenades are commonly used as if they are just another weapon but in Swamp they will special. The server will make sure that only a set number of them ever appear in a map since the grenades will actually have the power to destroy the environment! If you throw a grenade against the side of the Kai Mart, for example, the resulting explosion will permanently create a hole big enough to serve as a new doorway. The changes to the map will affect everyone, and the map will repair only once all missions are complete and the map naturally resets itself. This is the plan anyway and I do reserve the right to change my mind if it becomes too difficult to prevent people from abusing the feature. Lol! Well ok then maybe just a few things here and there?

Below is the download links for 2 adventure tracks and a custom vehicle. All have been edited to take advantage of the new features in topspeed 3.

It has the highest top speed as compared to the other official vehicles, but the acceleration is slow. To make up for that, you can make hairpin turns at a higher speed. You will get the feel of catching up from behind, but since the top speed is so high, you need 8 gears to push it up. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Valiant8086 valiant8...@lavabit.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, September 04, 2011 10:03 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Questions about Top Speed 2 and 3 http://valiant8086.com/games Those cars are only for topspeed2.

Until your economy is quite stable, the tavern runs out quite a bit, if only for a few ticks at a time. Unless I adjust how it determines when to display the message, you end up with dozens of unwanted and unnecessary warning messages from the tavern. I will try a few things when I get time again to code, but if anyone has any ideas already I'd be happy to hear them.

If you always have a cook standing by, I think the t key won't be of much help to you.

[Audyssey] castaway suggestions
There is a big jump in difficulty from mission 2 to 3. Instead of making it easier, how about adding 1 or 2 new missions in between and make this a later mission? Maybe something to get them more prepared is a mission which they have to launch an attack with 5 knights, 5 rangers, 5 pikemen and 5 cavalrys? This is like having to wipe out a more powerful enemy force than mission 2. Not sure if you got my suggestion on setting certain buildings to high priority with backspace instead of just open or close. This way is easier to tell the workers to supply resources or work on a particular building. Sometimes i have to close 4 or 5 other buildings for peasants to work on the 1 i need. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 3:32 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] question about raiding enemy The computer doesn't send everything it has each time, so that is why you are still suffering loses.

Many people have had a very hard time with mission 3, and I'm planning to adjust it to make it a bit easier. It's a shame to change it, when other people have been able to beat it, but I don't want to scare the majority of the players away with this new mission. Perhaps I can just start the mission out with more resources. Hi Jeremy, got a question...If enemy raid with 3 soldiers and 1 knight, I believe this is their full force and is quite weak.

Re: [Audyssey] discoveries in castaways
Again, I had some thoughts and questions of what if I do this, what if i do that, so I try them out and here are more discoveries. I had save games on mission 1 and 3 just before they are completed and I closed the ship and last catapult so the game won't end and I can play around. Mission 1 on easy: I first make sure my settlement is safe from goblins, more than enough supply of food and got my population to 100. Discoveries, I think about 5 knights will do the trick but slightly more will be better in case of any injurys. If there are no more stones on the map, stone masons will get stones from outside the territory, but is not the case for lumberjacks. If all the forests become scattered trees, the lumberjacks who are out cutting trees will never return, but the cutest thing is...they can still stretch their hands long enough back to the tavern to get food. haha! The way I got those people back is to let them die of starvation and have new children. In such a large population when there are many things happening on 1 single click, I noticed that the messages showing is quite behind time. Mission 3 on easy: Even easy difficulty is hard!!! Hard difficulty...I have not even attempted. haha! Ok, I have a population of 32 at the point when my last catapult have enough resources. I raided with 5 knights, 5 rangers and 5 pikemen a couple of times. Discoveries about raiding, There will be 3 to 5 killed and few more injured each time. I think is worth it at the beginning as the enemy troop raids are weakened. but towards the later stages, I feel that it hurts more than help. My raids don't seem to have any effect on them and I weaken my own power. The enemy will still send their full power of 5 each over. Or defending is a better strategy? Next thing to try is to also have 5 cavalrys and 5 soldiers, but...I wonder if I can hold on long enough to get them up. Somehow, I feel that there are more injuries in this version than the previous versions especially at the beginning stages of the game.

Lumberjacks are Supposed! to act the same as stone masons once the resources are gone on the map. I've put that on my list of things to fix. I believe you have the right idea about raiding the enemy in mission 3. While their total army is still relatively small, sending your own will mean they can't send as much to attack you. Once they finally grow large enough, killing several of their soldiers won't affect their next raid attack if they still have 5 of everything left after you killed some. Once it reaches that point, I also switch over to total defense. Very nicely done sir!

Re: [Audyssey] arrangement of buildings list in castawaysand a suggestion.
Yah I like those suggestions. Another thing I hope Jeremy can consider adding is the ability to switch certain buildings to high priority besides open and close. In mission 3 which production efficiency is very crucial in winning, I had to go round and round closing and opening buildings. One case is I needed leather in the monastery as soon as possible but my peasants kept transporting other goods. I have to close the tavern, sawmill, butcher shop and mill just to get the leather in. I think it will be helpful to switch the building that needs attention to high priority. Food is not always the most important. haha!

When I spoke of each unit's strength and defense, that was a general summary of the unit which applies to it most of the time. For example, that information is good for when you are sending your troops against goblins or Yetti. When going up against human foes, there are a few extra rules that come in to play. Knights receive an attack bonus when facing pikemen. Pikemen get a bonus against Cavalry, Cavalry bonus against Rangers, and rangers bonus against Knights. It's a little ring of attack power, so that each type of unit does have something it is exceptionally good at attacking, but another thing that it is more likely to be harmed by. Hopefully that makes more sense now that I've explained it a little more. hi jeremy. i'm a little confused here. u said from your previous email: - Cavalry are weaker than even Rangers. They deal about 3 times the damage of a regular soldier, but their speed on the field is much faster than anyone else. If memory serves me, they are nearly double the speed of a night so they are more efficient soldiers in that regard. Their specialty is to attack enemy Rangers, and their killing power nearly doubles when they face them. so, they are weaker than rangers in strength, but they are also best used to kill rangers? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Real life has been doing a great job at keeping me off of the computer for the past week. I haven't had nearly enough free time to sit down and code, so everything has been taking much longer to get done. I'm still determined to get certain features added, so rather than focusing on a single thing I find myself jumping back and forth between 4 or 5 major projects within castaways. I've been working to get mission 3 finished, territory wars multiplayer finished, the translation code finished, hunting 2 very persistent bugs that have been eluding me for several versions, and I've been trying to get a system in place so that you can rearrange priorities for your settlement. If I could get myself to pick any 1 of these, and focus entirely on it, I would have had at least some of them done during this long period of time. lol! I may have finally killed the vanishing resource bug as well as the bug where a doctor would sometimes heal an injury without using cloth. Believe it or not, the two bugs were actually caused by the same problem. Without going too much into the coding specifics, there was a glitch that allowed the doctor's place of residence to go unchanged once he was assigned as a doctor. Lets say, for example, your doctor had been a peasant or worker originally, and he had been either constructing or carrying supplies to your ship. His focus building, stored in a variable tied to the person, was set as the ship. When switching over as a Doctor, it was supposed to reset to the Hospital but this glitch wasn't going that. Now, when he would normally be draining bandages from building resource slot 0 at the hospital, he is now draining lumber from building slot 0 at the ship as he heals people! If it had been any other occupation I would have spotted the bug faster, but the only time this strange behavior would happen, was when this bugged doctor would fix someone's physical injury! That doesn't happen very often, and I've Still! never had the vanishing resource bug happen in front of me. I've only ever experienced it through people sending me saved games of before and after it had happened to them. That was such a crazy bug to figure out, that I'm still celebrating. Often times you need to sit back and assume that all of your existing bugs are linked. I was trying to imagine every possible scenario when suddenly it hit me! After checking the code, sure enough, there was an error in the code for reassigning a doctor's focus building. Yay! Ok that was quite long, I didn't mean for it to be lol. In mission 2, Tome production is pretty much a niche product. You aren't using leather for anything else, so it doesn't make as much sense to develop that branch unless you have free time. In mission 3 you will use leather for more things, so tome production should be easier. Cloth will always be a bit tricky, but that's intentional. Now that the doctor glitch is hopefully fixed, things might be more stable with yarn and cloth. After more testing, I may lighten the requirements for cloth production a little. Once tasks can be prioritized manually, it might be even easier to keep cloth coming in. The alt keystroke ideas sound pretty good, and I've tossed them onto my list of things to add. When it comes to fog of war and scouts, I think it would be a bit too complicated to make that kind of low level change at this stage in the game's development. It would fundamentally change everything in the game and it's probably way more work than its worth. Ok, some thoughts after finally massacring those bloody yeti. I never built a monastery. Tome production has become really hard to manage, and I just never found it a sufficient priority. I did build a tannery, but never got around to assigning a leatherworker. Three leather is probably a bit much for a tome. Cloth production still seems a bit hard to manage. Compared to almost everything else, cloth production seems to have a very low priority, which means you need a crap-ton of peasants to make it happen at all. I can't prove it, but it seems like yarn was disappearing from time to time, as I'd

I am just writing as I have a suggestion for building construction in castaways. could the close feature be made to apply to buildings being built? this would be useful, as I frequently find my builders carrying on building something, when I would rather they revert to peasants, because they can finish the building later. the problem is, its often easier to leave everyone as builders, and being able to close a building mid construction would make control of what your people do much easier, as at the moment, your builders won't become peasants til the building is finished. also, I noticed a slight spelling mistake in castaways, I think you missed an extra r out of quarry as its pronounced quarry, but jaws says quary in the list of building choices and whenever the word is used. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] guard tower
Hi Jeremy, castaway is way cool!! Thanks for the game. I just started playing yesterday and it took me one whole sleepless night to complete level 1 on easy. haha!

Re: [Audyssey] guard tower
Hi Jeremy, thanks for your detailed explanation. It's clear now. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2011 10:18 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] guard tower Steady, I'm glad to hear you enjoy the game! :D The question about guard towers has come up a lot, so I'll try to explain it as best as I can. Please let me know if this helps clear up how they are used. When you have soldiers, they will pick a building to serve as their home base. This will usually be the barracks, and this is the place they will return to and rest at after a day of battling goblins. The problem is that your barracks might be very far from the goblins, lets pretend it is 15 tiles away. Every time they want to attack, your soldiers must march 15 tiles to the battle, kill goblins, and then march 15 tiles back home to rest. Tons of time is being wasted walking, when they could have rested and killed more goblins had the barracks been close to the battle. One way to solve this would be to build another barracks near the fighting so your soldiers don't have to travel so far to rest between battles. This would work but Barracks are expensive, so it is much cheaper to build guard towers. Guard towers also let soldiers rest just like your barracks, so you can put these near the battle and they are much cheaper to build. If the guard tower is 2 tiles away, your soldiers can attack the goblins, go back to rest, attack them more, and more, and it has only taken as long as it used to take them to attack once and then walk 15 tiles back to the barracks. By traveling shorter distances, your people can attack more. Some people wonder what happens if they scatter guard towers around the map. The good news is that it can't hurt, it can only help. The soldiers will always try to protect your town if they can, which means they would rather attack goblins who are close to one of your buildings. After attacking the closest goblins, they will head to the closest place they can rest. If you have guard towers dotted around the map, they will almost certainly see one that is closer than walking all of the way back to your barracks. And if your barracks happens to be closer, they will rest their instead. Hi Jeremy, castaway is way cool!! Thanks for the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals mission 10
Hi Jeremy, I feel that mission 10 is relatively easier as compared to other missions and doesn't take long to complete. Here are some suggestions you might want to consider adding in to make things more difficult for me. 1. Less control over the visiter. he can visit as and when he feels like, but if i think it is not the right time then I have to pay to send him off. and the price gets higher each time. 2. Get tired of eating the same food every meal and request for more variety. 3. Add disasters. Anyhow, just give me some worrys about money. If it comes very easily, anything else won't be a problem.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals version 2.5b
Hi jeremy, Agree. If you focussed on keeping up with the so call best programming language, you will end up writing and rewriting mission 1 and will never move on. Your news update on Lunimals will not be new missions available. it would be what programming language you changed to for whatever reason instead. We gamers will be playing mission 1 over and over again for years to try out the results of the same game in different programming language. Enough examples of that. Btw, I'm halfway through mission 10 now. Thanks for the great game.

If you have wii sports and wii sports resort, you can play tennis, table tennis, sword play, boxing, basket ball 3 point contest etc without sighted guide.

Re: [Audyssey] WII Bowling
The beginning part is not stupid at all. It is definitely possible. I think you are getting comments from some1 who doesn't have wii and doesn't know but trying to act as if he knows everything. When your controller is pointing at something, you will hear a click and feel the vibration. At the beginning, you can click on any 1 that your controller is point at, then use the plus or minus button to move you to the game. You can tell is the right place by the short music clip. Next, there are 4 icons. You want to click on the bottom right icon which is load game. This part takes some getting used to. It's ok if you click on the wrong 1. If you click on the bottom left which is the back, you will go back to the starting point when you turn on the game. 锦发/Steady Goh 吴聊 http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2106729/1/Steady%27s%20interview?h=bc0b40 - Original Message - From: Brice Mellen To: 'Gamers Discussion list' Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2010 5:08 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] WII Bowling Lol you wouldn't be able to even load the game up, not on the wii, because of the stupid beginning part you have to actually point the controller at the game on the screen, as for actually after you load up the game, I guarantee you could play bowling or whatever by your self. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

I'm afraid I don't agree about the rocks though, I find the two sound affects completely fine myself. In addition to the pitch shifting, Your rocks make a continuous grinding sound, while your opponent's make a broken grinding sound almost like a set of ticks, which is more than enough. Actually, I think having your opponent's rocks go from lowest to highest pitch would slightly upset some of the feeling of the game, sinse the lowering pitch denotes the rock scraping down a section of wall, which effect you wouldn't get with a raising pitch (unless of course the rocks float upwards ;D). As to limiting rocks and power ups, I'm not certain. The rock chucking frequency is already pretty limiting in itself, as is the need to defend your wall, and I'm not precisely sure how bonus items would work, particularly in terms of game balance.

Re: [Audyssey] 3D Shooter Game Under Development
Hi, earlier on When Kelvin and I were testing battle racing for Che, we felt that it could be overwellming for many gamers out there and we had ideas for a new multi-player game. coincidently, Our ideas and your plans have their similarities. I think it will be fun and adictive and yet not difficult to learn. It's a shooting game but definitely not just moving the left and right arrow to shoot. It could be 1 on 1 combat or up to 3 on each side. Your objective is to protect your base and yourself and destroy your enemy. This is our rough idea of the game. I will use a game board to describe the battle field so is easier to picture it. The game board is 20 by 25. Your territory is from A1 to T10 and enemy is A16 to T25. Using bottom left as a guide, you have 4 healing stations spread out evenly across A3 to T3. You have to be directly in front of that station to block the shot. The 2 squares behind the stations are your healing and shield recharge zones. Same for your enemy where the healing stations are facing each other. From A11 to T15 is the no shooting zone, meaning u cannot shoot from that area, but if your enemy is at his own territory, he can shoot you. You: move around and destroy your enemy. If you are in range with him, he is also in range with you. If being shot, you can either dodge or turn on your shield. The shield is the only thing you can use to block the enemy bullets from shooting your bass. The limitations are, when is on, you cannot move. and it can only be active for a limited time, say about 20 seconds. You have to recharge it from time to time by staying behind any of the healing stations. During the process, you can't do any thing. Is all up to your partner to defend the territory then. Your shield will also not block the bullets if your partner accidently shoot you from behind. Your gun: the speed is about 1 bullet every second. You have unlimited ammo, but it can only load up to 6 bullets at every 1 time. You can shoot any thing that is directly in front of you, including your friend. The closer you are to your enemy, the less time he has to react. I mean, if you shoot your enemy from b1 and he is at B25, he has more time to turn on the shield or move to the next square before the bullet reaches. If you are at B10 and he is at B16, is almost immediat. Again, you are in range, he is also in range. powerups: There are a few that we thought of including rapid fire, lazer that can shoot across a few squares, invisible to enemy and a nusty item. Invisible of course is also for a limited time, not more than 5 seconds. During that power time, you can go to your enemy territory to shoot, but if your power runs out before you get back to your zone, your health decreases. Haven't thought of what the nusty item does yet. The items appear randomly at any where from A13 to t13. Any1 on the field can go snatch it.

Hi Cory, in your post you didn't say you made the sound for the engine. Not sure if you missed that part. That is the motor sound you want to hear.

So, I've won a few races with the keyboard, won a few with the mouse, but seeing as I'm a console boy at heart and I found a cheapo USB controller I never knew I had earlier, I thought I'd have a crack at using that. I would stick with the mouse, but I was racing using one of those laptop trackpad style setups and I'm not sure it actually gave me any more control. So, my question is... is there a way to quit a race without forfitting and losing the entry fee? Reason I ask is, this pad doesn't seem to be playing ball particularly well yet, and I'm losing stupid amounts of money here by reconfiguring testing and forfitting upon failure each time.

Racers who are at class 10 or higher can sign up for the tournament. Round 1 will be on blind spot which is a class 5 track and round 2 on quick reflexes, class 6. The 40 new tracks are compiled into a single zip file. You can get it at www.blindAdrenaline.com/uploads/allOfficialTracks.zip If you already downloaded some of the tracks from the official tracks site, just answer no when ask if you want to replace the files.

Re: [Audyssey] Blood money Online fighting
Che, your plans on the wii mote actions is far more complicated than I thought. Now I understand why is it that is difficult to translate them into key strokes. In fact, the mouse alone wouldn't be sufficient to do all those I think. Game controllers is the way to go. I hope you won't make it like wii boxing which is totally motion bassed. You know, we have 12 hours differences. If it is like wii boxing, I might have to exercise and sweat at 2 3 am over here. hahaha! Maybe I played mortal kombat a lot and got used to the way it works, I personally prefer a combination of both. What they does is, punch kick combos are done by pressing the d pad in a specific sequence whereas special power moves are pulled out by swinging the wii remote. Fatalities are done by swinging both the wii remote and nunchuck. I still can't constantly excicute the fatalities right yet. Ok, I am thinking very far ahead now, but consider this. the features of blood money already sounds as good as the mainstream fighting games. If it goes well, you might want to explore the possibility of hiring someone to add in graphics and make it the first title to be converted from accessible game for the blind to a mainstream game. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Che To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 1:36 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Blood money Online fighting Hi all, For now the working title of the online fighting game is Blood Money. This will probably change, but we need something to call it instead of Blind Adrenaline's online fighting game, hahaa. And yes, I know there was a game in the eighties called Blood Money, one of the better shoot 'em ups I ever played in fact. Anyhow, maybe this time the thread won't get hijacked by those to inconsiderate to change the subject line when they change the topic. Back to the game: Kel asked about the Wii controllers. Yes, from my research, we should have full access to the Wii remotes, including force feedback, sending audio to the remote itself and so forth, which should be an amazing way to interface with this and future games from Blind Adrenaline. When you get ready to do a roundhouse kick, you'll have to pull the nunchuck to you, while ripping the main controller in a rainbow shape at the same time, pull both controllers to your chest to block, etc. The possibilities are endless. It looks like using XNA will also allow me to include the use of the XBox controllers, which are amazing little devices, with two analog buttons on the front, analog sticks on the top and force feedback as well. In my opinion, these are the best non motion sensitive controllers out there, and being able to use them with accessible games will be awesome. Steady had some good ideas regarding tournament fighting, and it would be interesting to gang fight, so you would have two or three people trying to take out another two or three. This would add a whole new dimension to the game, but executing this would be tricky for sure. I'd like to do it, but we'll have to see how it goes as the game matures. Did some latency testing today, and everything is looking good, at least in the continental united states, I haven't done any testing over seas yet, but we'll be doing that soon. If you have any comments and suggestions for Blood Money, let me know, I am outlining everything over the next few weeks, and I'd like to get your input before coding starts so we make this the best fighting game out there. Later, Che Developer - Blind Adrenaline Simulations Play online. The future of Accessible gaming is here. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Adrenaline's online fighting game
Hi Che, for many years, I've always hoping to have a good fighting game that is totally accessible. My dream is going to come through. Your online fighting game sounds very promissing and is the game I am most looking forward to have my hands on. About controllers: not sure how much work you are going to put in for keyboard only users. If they have limited playability, that will put them off. Maybe is still possible to let them have all the special moves, just that they have to remember more key strokes. For instance if a combo is pulled off by drawing a lower half circle to the right, the keyboard combo can be arrow left, down, right followed by a low punch key. Not sure if that will work. Even if so, I am definitely for the wii remote. That sure makes game play more fun and feels more exciting. As for game features, I hope to be able to just sit in to watch the fight even if I am not involved in the competition just like what you did for your holdem. If there are different voices for each character and we are familiar with the game sounds, it is also very fun just to sit and watch and catch all the actions. As for tournaments, besides multi player tournaments, we can also have a 2 players head to head clash where by we each pick 5 characters and play best out of 3. This is especially good if we can't find many players online at a certain time. Kelvin, you mentioned about game replayability and difficulty, that not only involves programming skills, but also actually depend very much on the game deloper's gaming ability. What makes rail racer so much fun is because Che is a good racer himself. If a game deloper who is creating a racing game can't do well in other racing games like rail racer, top speed or Homer on a Harley, you cannot expect much from him. His end product will be easy and won't be much fun to play. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Kelvin Tan To: Che ; Gamers Discussion list Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 11:47 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Blind Adrenaline's online fighting game hey man. it's great to hear the the fighting game is in the works. i totally agree that blind gamers should get into using the mouse for game play. but of course the ability to use the keyboard should be still available for the more old fashioned fighter who might just end up banging on what ever key on the keyboard. but i definitely agree that some special moves should only have the ability to be performed by the mouse or game pad etc. it's time we should stop spoon feeding those who are stubborn. some guys here, whenever they run into any difficulties in game play, they will just comment that this game or that game is too difficult! is it possible to make it easier for me so that i can complete the game please please? and then some of the game developers here will just happily nod and comply, well that's up to each individual, but i'm definitely not going to ask for a game to be made easier just because i 1 2 win or complete them. to me, game replayability is the most important, and when there is no longer a challenge, where can the game replayibility be? multiplayer games like rail racer, sound rts, and even a few games from vipgamezone e.g. galaxy ranger, definitely have replayability in my opinion. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Good news: how to make the WII a whole lot moreaccessible
Hi ken, I think you made it sound so much more unfriendly to start game than it really is. You don't have to be so exact to click on the top left button. Just click on any one then use the plus or minus key on the wii controller to move you there. It is a cycle, so you will eventually land on the read disk icon. ??/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Ken To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 4:09 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Good news: how to make the WII a whole lot moreaccessible If any of you have played the Wii, you know that it's just about impossible to start, since on the startup screen there are seven buttons to push--four on top and three on the bottom, which makes for a confusing and frustrating day at the Wii console. Even though you know the one you want is in the top left corner, you just can't seem to find it and instead find yourself adjusting your daughter's mii... (which is the way she programmed her character to look in the games.) Incidentally, I gave hers quite the hairdo. With the screen in such a state, you might spend an hour starting the game you want and have time for a match of tennis before dinner time--if you're lucky. Well, fear not Wii fans, because I have found a solution. You'll need sighted assistance for this but... In addition to the page containing the start game icon, there are three or more pages with additional channels. There are two ways to get to those pages--the plus and minus keys on the Wiimote, or the arrows on the screen. What we are going to do is to drag each channel, (accept for the one we want--the start game icon,) to another page. Have your friend hold a and b together while pointing at a channel, then move to the right arro and let go--and they have successfully moved the channel. You'll know it because you'll hear a chirp from the Wii and your friend saying, cool. Have them do this for the next five channels, and you're done. You now have a startup screen with only one button--well, plus the arrows, but they won't do anything accept change pages and you just hit the minus button to get back to the first page--no harm done. So now all you do is move the Wiimote around till it vibrates and you're there. Make sure that your assistant moves the channel you want--the start channel which, if they can't figure it out, will say Wii sports, on it if that CD is in, to a place far away from the arrows--the upper left corner perhaps. I can now start the game almost every time I try it, although somehow another channel appeared on the first page--but that's what happens when you let your children play with adults' toys! LOL Well, if any of you have or are considering to purchase a Wii, I hope this helps.

Yes, right, but if that is not the disc you want, you can eject the disc and put in another want and wii will read and play the music. So it still works. Don't have to click the back icon and re-enter. The plus key is often used to enter the options menu when you are in the game.

Re: [Audyssey] sound RTS
Hi, if you allow traffic through port 2500, others will be able to login to your server. Anyway, there are usually 2 or more servers up and are quite active. If others can't connect to you, you can still login to other active servers and find players there. The latest version of sound rts is 1.0 beta 10o. You should upgrade if you haven't. Great improvements and many new maps added. Get it from http://jlpo.free.fr/soundrts/ 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Casey Mathews To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2008 9:00 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] sound RTS It is very easy. Just press enter on Server, then go to either simple server where only you can create games, or public server where others can create games. You can also create a private server and it won't be added to the public list of servers. Hope this helps.

I've noticed that setting up a server in a game like top speed is as easy as selecting that you want to hoste a game. It seems to me that Sound RTS assumes quite a bit of networking knowledge. someone please correct me if I'm mistaken here, I don't want to sound like i'm criticising the game, it's ausum in single player, it's just getting that part going.

Re: [Audyssey] sound RTS
Hi Aiden, when players enter sound rts multi player mode, we can either choose the server from the list or enter through the IP adress. If you host a server and give your IP adress, we will be able to login to your server even if your port 2500 is blocked. This is how topspeed does anyway. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: aiden gardiner To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 1:36 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] sound RTS Thanks thomas, I'll get my dad to help me have a look, see if I can squash this little problem, because I really want to be able to hoste games. Aiden - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2008 6:29 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] sound RTS Hi Aiden, Well, it all depends on what ports are blocked by the router. Obviously,the ports Topspeeed uses are not filtered and that is why you are getting a two way connection. However, the port that SoundRTS is either being blocked by your router, or you have a firewall program blocking the port. Either way chances are good that the port is closed or filtered by an application or the router. aiden gardiner wrote: Thomas, That seems to be the problem. I can get the server running, but noone can connect. the router I use is manufactured by my ISP, and is not very accessible. What I don't understand is, how can top speed go straight through the firewall, without me doing any setup on the router, when sound RTS can't?

Re: [Audyssey] rail racer new verssion.
Hi, try this. First, start rail racer and backup your settings to the web. Quit out of the game when is done. Next, go to c:\program files\rail racer and delete config.xml. Now, unzip the files from rr153Update.zip to c:\program files\rail racer. You should then be able to load the game. Retrieve your settings from the web and you are good to go. ps: There is a pre tournament race tonight at 11pm eastern on daytona. Come join in the fun. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: ian mcnamara To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 4:54 AM Subject: [Audyssey] rail racer new verssion. hi all i have a problem with rail racer 1.53 the new up date i extracted this verssion and tried to run the game but it would not run so i went back and installed 1.51 so it would run again and now i am trying oto re install 1.53 it keeps telling me their is a password needed to extract the files. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
