Re: [Audyssey] ship combat in smugglers 4
Hi Alex. At the top of the ship combat screen is some information, whether you've got reinforcements coming and how many rounds until they arrive, your shields, and your opponent's shields, and whether enemy reinforcements are on the way. Then, going down the ship combat screen the options appear like this: "fire guns" "Start missiles" "Use Ecm to destroy enemy missiles" "ship's special ability" then is a heading "Combat abilities" with your combat abilities such as diciplin, taunt or focus beam undernieth. that's how it appears with hal anyway. I know che martin was thinking of writing a jaws script for the game, which would be helpful if it's this problematic with Jaws. I also know though that shadowdragon has managed to play a lot of the game using Jaws, so hopefully either way there's a way round. all the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: "alex wallis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 4:53 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] ship combat in smugglers 4 hi. i have activated compatibility mode. as there is that anoying thing at the top of the screen that says compatibility mode for visually impaired players and then something about turning it off. i can now find the guns option consistently when using the jaws cursor, however i am having serious problems trying to click other options in the combat screen such as the one that lets you activate things that aren't directly firing weapons i forget what its called as its like 4 in the morning here, as other options just get in the way. my problem is focusing the damb options because i frequently find for example that bits of some options are on lines with ones that i want to click, and i just can't focus on them. i am really thinking of asking for my money back unless i can get in touch with neils bower to talk to him about my problems, or unless someone else has a solution to my problems. my personal oppinion is that its great he's trying to build in accessibility, but the smugglers interface was not designed with blind people in mind, as a result massive use of the jaws cursor makes navigating around options a lot harder than it really should be. i think if he wants to build in accessibility maybe we should all politely try to get him to join this list, and then enter into a discussion with him about designing a completely new interface for blind players that would take advantage of using the pc cursor, list boxes and conventional menus. the other thing that also really anoys me with the combat system is having to click continue after every damb thing like firing a gun or missile there is just no need for it. --- 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.

Re: [Audyssey] ship combat in smugglers 4
Does anyone else have the problem, compatibility mode on, when like your'e at earth and say jupitor or some other planet doesn't appear on the screen, but is a graphic? I know that it's accessible and what not, but for some reason some plannets just vanish from my screen. - Original Message - From: "dark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 2:50 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] ship combat in smugglers 4 Hi Alex. the ship combat screen is fully accessible, however please note you have to activate compatibility mode first in the options screen, if you haven't done this, combat will be very difficult indeed, and several options on the main screen will be unreadable as well.
