Hi Ian, if you'd like, I have two installs at: http://tbrn.net/modgirl in the AQ folder. One install just installs the game, and the other installs the game along with extra XP voices if you'd like. If neither of these are what you want, let me know and I'll send along a set of links for the agrip site...

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Hi Christopher, There is allot of ways of doing this, but i'd still like to keep the game in the turn based relm. I've seen board games randomise games by making each player roll to go first, second, third, etc... I think STFC could be quite successful doing this. Sequentual play isn't something I personally would like to work towards at this point. Smile.

The initiative idea is a good one, but why not extend it from races to shipsingstarbases. There are, what, 28 objects to track? It's no harder to track 28 objects for initiative value then it is to track 4 race values. Note that you can combine Phil's suggestion and mine by having initiative affect weapons firing, while still having movement be simultaneous.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Tom, I think you misunderstand my idea. Let me clarify. There is a game called Diplomacy, originally put out by the Avalon Hill company that was a strategic-level WWI game. Players take the part of one of the seven major powers in Europe circa 1901. Turns consist of three phases, diplomacy, during which players negotiate alliances, peace treaties, etc, orders writing, during which each player writes a set of orgers for his or her units and the resolution phase, where all the orders are compared and resolved. Each player has no advance knowledge of the opponents' orders, and must construct his or her orders based on an assessment of what the others are going to do, based on tactical position and clues gained through diplomacy. As such, the strategic problem is somewhat more complex, since the game is a game of in-plete information. What I proposed for STFC was a similar concept. You'd eliminate the preliminary diplomatic phase of course, but the player(s) would use the normal input methods to plot orders. Other players computer or human, would do the same. After all moves are plotted, the game would execute the orders, describe the results and give messages to the human player(s). There is no need for multithreading, simply process all turns without knowledge of the next turn's movements. The order of oper'ns might look like: 1. Get input for all human player turns. 2. Create computer player turns, based on present positions, not including knowledge about the human players' moves. 3. Process weapon firing. Give messages describing results. 4. Move all ships according to their orders, subject to changes from weapons damage. 5. Lather, rinse, repeat until end of game. Note that the only change from the way things happen now is that moves are calculated before the computer paayers know what the human player(s) are doing.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Hi Phil, Now, that is a slick idea. So esentually each race gets a number 1 through 4. A random generator can pick if Cardassians, Federation, Romulans, Klingons, can move first, second, third, etc.. If the Cardassians get to go first and you happen to be fighting them you might get attacked first throwing your battle plan out the window. However if you are also attacking the Klingons and you come up before them you get the edge on them while losing the Cardassian front. That is pretty cool. That would certainly mix things up a bit.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Hi Tom, Dungeons and dragons has a way of randomizing how battles are played. At the beginning of each round of play everyone rolls initiative and those with the lowest roll goes first. This is modified by the time it takes to do an attack. So a swing of a dagger will take a shorter time than a swing with a large sword. In Star Trek you could have the same system in that all moves are planned, then the random initiative factor sets who goes first. If the enemy decides to knock out your torpedoes and you plan on launching them on the same move and they go first then you either have no torpedoes to shoot or they blow up our ship!

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Hi Jim, These days I am personally on the road allot with my laptop disconnected from the web so I need games that are portible and don't need network connections to play. That is the major drawback to networked on line games is you can't take them on the road and play them. So what would half to happen to make this on line play possible is esentually two modes in one. A player vs computer mode, and a on line version. I am sure you have no idea how much work is involved with that. Smile. For the moment I am just looking how to improve the imediate STFC game. As a free game I don't want to put to much work in to it unless people are willing to pay for an online version.

hi tom, I have 1 more idea for stfc, it mite be for stfc version 3. make it a on line game. so if I want too, I can play you, and the computer at the same time. or I mite be able to play 3 other players. still being a move base game. lets say I am player 1, and there are 3 other players. the game will decide who will go first, second, and so on.so the game decided that player 3 will go first, player 1 goes second, player 4 goes next, and player 2 goes last.and we all just take are turns and attack each other.it would be like playing chess with 4 players. and if we only have 2 players, the game would be the 2 other players.

USA games news Dec, 24, 2006. Intro Greetings gamers, Welcome to this special edition of the USA Games news. We at USA Games would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a happy new year. If you don't celebrate Christmas we will simply wish you a happy holidays. As the year 2006 ends we would like to announce where we are in development of our projects, and let you all know what is in store for 2007. We expect 2007 to be a big year for USA Games with Montezuma's Revenge at the forefront of development, Raceway starting it's real development, and perhaps laying the groundwork for STFC 2.0. Montezuma's Revenge News Many of you are no doubt wondering what is happening with Montezuma's Revenge. The short answer is we have chosen to rewrite allot of the engine for greater stability, better features, and to make it more like James North's original vision for the game. As a result Montezuma's Revenge is going through a long and complicated upgrade cycle. With the end result hopefully more feature filled, stable, and more like what some of you requested. As many of you requested Angela was removed completely from the game and Arizona Smith has made a return to the game. All of his sound effects have been restored, and the storyline, plot, etc will follow the original one from Alchemy. One of the major changes that is taking so long is we needed to remap the temples. In Alpha 1 we created the temples to large, and many of you didn't like that. In this version we are resizing the temples to the original size they were in the Alchemy version. In short most temples are about 75 by 36 units in length. For the most part the levels will be exactly as James North created them, but we have decided to make a couple of miner changes for realism sake. For example in rooms where there were metal ladders we felt it would be better if we used stone steps. So we replaced all the ladders with stone steps. Another important issue we are addressing in this upgrade is the way sounds are loaded and played back. In Alpha 1 all sounds were loaded and started playing. The problem of this was if you walked near a wall you could here the skull, spider, gem, gold, etc even if it was in a different room. Now, sounds are based on your specific location. If you are in room 1 and there is a potion in room 1 it is loaded and played while you are in the room./ If you move in to room 2 the potion effect is stopped, and the gems are loaded and played. This isn't perfect yet, but we are working on it. One feature we have started work on is a high score tracking feature. We haven't yet worked on any sort of on line posting feature, but the game itself will keep track of your high scores for easy, medium, hard, and insane levels. You can access your high scores from the game's main menu. Finally, one other massive area undergoing work is the games environmental effects. We did find the games original ambiance was cool, and it might be placed back in the release. Some effects are going away since we have found better ones while some classic sounds are returning. What exactly it will sound like by Alpha 2 remains to be seen. Raceway News I know it has been ages since we talked about Raceway. In truth not much is going on to report. Although, thanks to one of the beta testers of ESP Raceway I now have the original sound effects which by accident or design Alchemy Game Studios failed to give me. Although, a few effects I think I will not use as I have higher quality ones laying around on my hard drive. With the sound effects in hand, the original source code, and my own ideas for the game I think Raceway should turn out to be a really good racing game. STFC News As most of you are now aware STFC 1.0 was released earlier this month. Do to losing the source code I was not able to fix everything or complete the game the way I had hoped to. Although, all hope is not lost. I have decided to begin work on STFC 2.0 sometime next year once Montezuma's Revenge and Raceway is well on their way.I

In Alpha 1 we created the temples to large, and many of you didn't like that. In this version we are resizing the temples to the original size they were in the Alchemy version. In short most temples are about 75 by 36 units in length. For the most part the levels will be exactly as James North created them, but we have decided to make a couple of miner changes for realism sake. For example in rooms where there were metal ladders we felt it would be better if we used stone steps. So we replaced all the ladders with stone steps. Another important issue we are addressing in this upgrade is the way sounds are loaded and played back. In Alpha 1 all sounds were loaded and started playing. The problem of this was if you walked near a wall you could here the skull, spider, gem, gold, etc even if it was in a different room. Now, sounds are based on your specific location. If you are in room 1 and there is a potion in room 1 it is loaded and played while you are in the room./ If you move in to room 2 the potion effect is stopped, and the gems are loaded and played. This isn't perfect yet, but we are working on it. One feature we have started work on is a high score tracking feature. We haven't yet worked on any sort of on line posting feature, but the game itself will keep track of your high scores for easy, medium, hard, and insane levels. You can access your high scores from the game's main menu. Finally, one other massive area undergoing work is the games environmental effects. We did find the games original ambiance was cool, and it might be placed back in the release. Some effects are going away since we have found better ones while some classic sounds are returning. What exactly it will sound like by Alpha 2 remains to be seen. Raceway News I know it has been ages since we talked about Raceway. In truth not much is going on to report. Although, thanks to one of the beta testers of ESP Raceway I now have the original sound effects which by accident or design Alchemy Game Studios failed to give me. Although, a few effects I think I will not use as I have higher quality ones laying around on my hard drive. With the sound effects in hand, the original source code, and my own ideas for the game I think Raceway should turn out to be a really good racing game. STFC News As most of you are now aware STFC 1.0 was released earlier this month. Do to losing the source code I was not able to fix everything or complete the game the way I had hoped to. Although, all hope is not lost. I have decided to begin work on STFC 2.0 sometime next year once Montezuma's Revenge and Raceway is well on their way.I don't know weather or not the game will be TNG, DS9, etc. However, I do know there will be many things I will do differently. In version 2.0 I fully plan to include a save game feature so games won't get lost as it happened to me a few days ago when my laptop battery suddenly died in the middle of a game. Not only that I have found more and more often the need to save so I can do something else, and come back to the game. Another feature I think esentual in 2.0 is the ability or possibility of your shots or enemy shots missing there target. The chance, no matter how remote, often can change the tide of battle. If you lose all your torpedoes on a failed attempt the enemy might be able to rip you apart. If one enemy hits you, and the second misses you might be able to cut down one or both of the attackers. I am sure many of you can see how this would turn out. Thanks to all of your suggestions the w

Hi, STDW stands for Star Trek Dominion War. It is another title on the future projects list. It will be based on the Dominion War, will be in real time, and will be an interesting title when it gets off the drawing bord. As for SWJS the game is still in the works, but very slowly. I have to get Monty and Raceway completed before tackling the Star Wars and new Star Trek games.

Hi Richard, That is just the beginning.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Hi Steve, Montezuma's Revenge is indeed a accessible remake of the old Atari classic side-scroller. I'm not exactly sure where I stand legally as for as copyrights go, but Alchemy was in development of the game before I acquired it and took over development. When I said I had acquired the rights that meant that Alchemy Games would revoke any future sales of the product, turn over all source and sound effects, and of course the customers. As far as being worried of copyrights I put that down to a personal decision as to how closely you wish to follow the copyright laws to the letter. PCS Games for example has successfully written and marketed Packman Talks without any word from the copyright holders of the game. GMA Games has produced Trek 2000 and Trek 99 without a word from Paramount. PCS Games is in development of Sarah which is a Harry Potter spin off, and so far no word from the copyright holder's legal staff. I myself have been in production of Final conflict for two years, and a demo has been on site for equally that long and no word from Paramount. I don't think it is that the companies do not care, but they don't wish to go after small fries like you and me. Paramount would gladly go after Fox, Lucasfilm, or someone like that for using Star Trek, but for some blind dev writing a game and giving it away or scraping up a few peanuts for it it's in the long term not worth their time to worry about it. Another textbook example of what I mean is take the game Asteroids. The game came out in 1979, and eventually Activision got the rights to the game, and have released Asteroids games for PC, consoles, etc. Yet, you can look just about anywhere and find free Asteroids games which are direct copies of the Asteroid games which are rewrites with this or that added. I can think of three or four for Linux such as: SDL Roids, Vectoroids, Asteroids 3D,, Mailstrem, and so on. The Linux KDE desktop ships with a sweet of games, and one of those is KPackman. As it happens the game is open source, but is also sold as a part of many Linux operating systems. No one has taken them to task for adding Asteroids 3D or KPackman to their list of games, and Linux KPackman and Asteroids have allot more users than the entire known blind gaming comunity.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Holiday News.
Hi Thomas, I haven't been on this list for long, nor developing accessible games all that long either, so I'm probably going to ask a really dumb question but here goes. Your Montezuma's Revenge sounds like a clone of the famous Parker Brother's game of the 80s. Did you have to get permission from Parker Brothers or did they put it in the public domain or what? Reading on your site, you acquired the rights to the game from Alchemy Game Works so did they have the rights. As a developer of commercial software I'm scared stiff that someone will come along and threaten me with legal action for copyright infringement. I think, under the ammendments to the copyright act here (UK) you can produce accessible versions without seeking permission of the copyright holder but this, of course, applies only for personal use and not for commercial products.

USA Games Entertainment Holiday News Nov. 9, 2006 Introduction Greetings gamers, There is allot happening for USA Games customers and supporters this holiday season. We have a couple of releases coming up as well as a completely new and improved web site going up. So read on to get the scoop. Star Trek Final Conflict At last after two years of development, testing, and many setbacks we are happy to announce STFC 1.0 is nearly complete and is ready for final release. As most of you know the code was lost for this title, but I managed to sort through my betas and found one stable enough to release to the general public. There will be a few miner bugs and snags in 1.0, but for the most part it is stable and ready to ship. All that really needs doing is finishing the users guide, rebuild the installer, and post it on the web site for download. As many of you may have heard this 1.0 final release will be released as free ware. There will be no charge for the full release, and among the changes is the full version of the game, support for DirectX 9.0C 2006, Microsoft .NET 2.0, and uses Innosetup for installation. Although, we know the release will between now and Christmas we aren't prepared to set a specific day and time. More information will be announced on the Audyssey mailing list, the USA Games mailing list, or our web site http://www.usagames.us when the announcement is ready to be given. Montezuma's Revenge I'm aware many of you will be interested in venturing in to temple 2. However, I've not been able to complete that level do to time. However, I do have plans to update Montezuma's Revenge with support for .NET Framework 2, a new manual, and other miner bug fixes, changes, and updates. More information will be announced as the release is nearer to completion of the next update. USA Games Web Site As mentioned before the USA Games web site http://www.usagames.us is undergoing a major upgrade. It is not certain when the new site is going to be launched, but we do intend to upgrade this month. Many of the new changes will include a slightly new look and feel to the web site. For those interested we have dropped the split frame view and have decided to switch to a more traditional table layout for our site navigation section. We feel not only is this a bit more accessible I am told the appearance of the site looks better by having two rows of organized links along the top and bottom of each page. In addition we will be adding more to our download center besides our own games. We will have links to download the latest Ubuntu Linux installation disks, links for other third party software, and we will eventually be putting up links to other places as well. This is likely to be an ongoing project through December, and probably on in 2007. However, when done USA Games will have more content, and be more than just a place holder for our games and projects. At this point we do not plan to discuss all the changes we will be doing to the site, but when it is launched we will certainly let you know.

USA Games Entertainment Holiday News Nov. 9, 2006 Introduction Greetings gamers, There is allot happening for USA Games customers and supporters this holiday season. We have a couple of releases coming up as well as a completely new and improved web site going up. So read on to get the scoop. Star Trek Final Conflict At last after two years of development, testing, and many setbacks we are happy to announce STFC 1.0 is nearly complete and is ready for final release. As most of you know the code was lost for this title, but I managed to sort through my betas and found one stable enough to release to the general public.
