Re: [Audyssey] question for those players of smugglers 4

Hi dark,
thanks for the reply.
I had forgotten you needed to close the intro message before you could 
pull up game options.
My god, this guy is a sloppy programmer, he clearly doesn't use captions 
in his code to set a proper window title.
If anyone is interested, I am using a very powerful set of jaws scripts 
called hotspot clicker to make playing smugglers easier, buy setting up 
hotspots for the combat system, and also to make activating blind 
players mode and getting into the options menu easier.

it means, no more hunting around with the jaws cursor to find things,
now when I start the game, I can just hit alt and c to close the intro 
message, alt and o for the game options menu, and then alt and b to 
activate the blind players mode.
and no need to go hunting with the jaws cursor at all, it saves a lot of 
time and frustration.

Hi Alex.

The program doesn't use standard windows at all, everything is via popups 
and in game textual spots to click.


Remember, that the smugglers games are! primerily graphical in nature, they 
just happen to have very good lables, though i will say hal's default map 
with the virtual focus works extremely well in it's presentation of the 
games screens in columns.


Beware the grue!

dark.

[Audyssey] question for those players of smugglers 4

2011-07-27 Thread alex wallis

Hi list.
I have a question for those of you who have played smugglers 4 by neils 
bower games.
I bought the game ages ago, and gave up with it as the screen just 
looked a total mess with jaws, but things seem to be a bit better now, I 
don't know if that's down to different display settings or what.
but anyway, could some kind soul please tell me how do I access the 
options menu, in order to turn off the stupid game music which drowns 
out jaws almost completely, and I want to enable the blind players mode.
unfortunately I can't seem to find an options menu even after starting 
the new game.

any help would be very much appreciated.
I know its possible as I think I did it years ago, but now I can't 
figure it out.

Hi Alex.

The options menue is actualy on the very first page when you start the game, 
just hit the lable that says game options.


Actually, you'll need to do this whenever you start the game because blind 
compatibility mode needs to be activated each time you begin as otherwise a 
lot of stuff in the game won't have readable lables.


Hope you can get it to work.

Btw, Smugglers 4 should be working with jaws now, previous versions didn't 
particularly well, but certainly for the last couple of years things should 
be fine, though perhaps someone who uses jaws would be a better person to 
ask for advice on the nuts and bolts of playing the game with it..


Beware the grue!

Dark.
