Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was USA game web site?
Hi Corry, Oh, I see. Well, one thing I am still deciding upon is weather or not to leave sound effects and voice files external from the Java package containing the game. From a developer standpoint it is better that all images, sound effects, etc are packed in the jar file for maximum performance and speed on the host so. It also is a good platform independent way of redistributing files on different operating systems with completely different file systems. Naturally, the Windows NTFS file system operates different from a typical Linux Ext3 file system, and there is different issues with file permissions, directory trees, etc. For example, on a typical Windows install of a Java app if the sounds were externally placed in the games directory they would be on a path like c:\Program Files\USA Games\MOTA\Sounds On a typical Linux install the same sounds would be on a path like /usr/usagames/mota/sounds/ which isn't very compatible with each other. So packing the sounds directly into the jar only requires the sound class to look locally in the package for whatever it needs instead of externally somewhere else. Another sticky and tricky issue is file permissions. The way that Windows handles file permissions and the way Linux handles them is like daylight and dark. For example, typically before you can handle or work with files under Linux you need to set some default user permissions on a file. In Linux there are actually three sets of file permissions one for user, group, and other. Depending on how the flags are set on the file for its default file access flags you may or may not be able to open the sound files externally. Which can be a hassle when you don't exactly know how someone has there users and groups configured. However, this is not to say this is an impossible situation. Any installation package such as dpkg or rpm when compiled should have some lines in the makefile setting the default flags for the game sound effects insuring compatibility with game x. However, all I am saying by this example is that if the files are included in the jar file the issues over file permissions is not one a developer has to worry about. If an end user is going to mod a game he or she will have to be careful to set the default flags on the sound effects correctly before dropping the files into the sounds directory. If someone has a jar explorer tool like izarc he or she can just remove and add files to the jar, save the new jar file, without altering the manifest file and worrying about end user permissions.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was USA game web site?
Hi Tyler, Yes, it would be possible, but I never include any fowl language in my games beeped out or not. I try to make most of my games E rated. However, that isn't to say I haven't thought about some Teen rated or Mature rated games. A couple of months ago there was a discussion about possibly some day, obviously not now, taking on a more true doom clone. Doom would definitely fall in the Teen rated games with all the killing, violence, and horror type theme. Though, I am still uncertain if a true Doom knock-off would sell since there is already Shades Of Doom which has the basic sort of concept. Another game in the Teen or Mature category I have pondered for the future is an accessible knock-off of Resident Evil. In all the game seams fairly easy to create since the first game takes place in a shopping mall and those kinds of effects can easily be gotten from recording blaring rock music for the music store, toys for the toy store, cooking food for the food court, trailers playing for the theater, and escalator sound effects are no big deal to get hold of aether. One of the boss monsters in Resident Evil, a killer clown with a chainsaw, shouldn't exactly be to hard to create. Get something with a dark clown laugh, a chainsaw, and there you go. However, rating games in our acessible games market is a bit difficult. While Resident Evil has a mature label for sighted gamers the rating is there do to the extreme graphics and mature content like partly nude zombies and the fight seens can be gory I am told. Which gory sightes and mature half nude creatures don't apply to us. Just the application of violence. --- 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.

Hi Tyler, Well, you can't actually create your own stock car, but Raceway will allow you to select the type of stock car from a list of options. For example, you will be prompted when starting a new season if you want to have a Chevy, Dodge, Ford, or Toyoda stock car. Beyond that I haven't actually come up with more customization between those, but perhaps some Nascar fans out there can help shake out some more specifics on the available stock cars. There is still going to be a list of sponsors, but if i use pre-recorded speech you will only have the stock list to choose from. You won't be able to add new sponsors to the list which may or may not be a big deal with some folks. --- 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] Raceway was USA game web site?
Hi Geremy and all, Wow! quite a few questions. Here goes. Quote Are you going to be able to change tires in the pits? End quote Yes, you will. In fact, you will have to change tires at some point in every race else the ware on the tires will cause them to blow, and that isn't a good idea when you are going 215 MPH down the strait away. Grin Quote and have your pit crew talk to you while your racing to tell you who is coming up on your right/left /what ever? End quote I am certainly hoping to have something like that. For the Alpha versions I will probably just have a Sapi type voice announce information such as this, but eventually I want to migrate it to a more realistic Nascar type setup with a pit crew telling you that car 36 is coming up on your left and looks as though it is setting up for a pass. Then, you would of course move slightly left on the track to block his attempt to pass you. Quote What about speeding out of the pits? in nascar you can get penalized for speeding into and out of the pits. End quote Yes, the same applies to USA Raceway. There will be a warning to slow down when approaching or leaving pit row. Quote and what about the start of the race, are you going to have those magic words, *gentlemen, start your ingins* End quote Of course, it wouldn't be Nascar without them. Smile Quote and the different flags, the cossion flag for recks, or the red flag for track cleanup from a huge accident or due to bad weather, and the checkard flag for the winner? End quote Yes, the flags are all there. The game will announce when the flag changes color, and you have to take some action such as stop, slow down, etc. Quote and will there be a crowd cheering you on, and different weather condissions? End quote Yes, every time you pass the grand stands you will hear the croud cheering you on. As for weather conditions I have gotten a bunch of high quality weather effects for USA Raceway but I haven't actually incorperated weather into the game yet. I am more interested for the first few releases in just getting the game operational. Quote one last thing, will we be able to race one another over the net, like during a season, and still get points during the season like they do during the real nascar? End quote At the moment I am not planning on a online multiplayer version of Raceway. Though, Java certainly has the ability to do so. I just feel that is something that can be considered in a later release such as 2.0 or something. As for points Raceway uses the exact same scoring system as Nascar. You will earn 180 points for winning the race, 5 points for leading at least one lap, and earn 5 points for the most laps. The other drivers will earn points on a descending scale based on race position. Quote and will there be poles for having the fastist lap time during tryouts before the race? End quote Again this is something I am planning on doing at some point. Not all of the features are going to appear in the first Beta release just because there is loads and loads and loads of work to do on this game. However, I have every intention on making this game as Nascar-like as possible and it may take a couple of years before it really becomes as good as a Nascar Thunder type game. --- 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] Raceway was USA game web site?
This is not possible. Espeak uses the Gnu General Public License, which would forbid it from being included in Raceway, unless Raceway was also open source. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of josh Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 9:55 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was USA game web site?

Hi Cara, As far as Raceway goes there are definitly work arounds about what speech system to use, but each has an advantage/disadvantage. If I want to completely port Raceway as is from C# .NET to Java there is a commercial Sapi package, JSapi, put out by Cloud Garden that supports all the usual Sapi engines like the Scansoft voices, Neospeech voices, etc. The problem is that it isn't licensed very cheaply, and by using the JSapi package from Cloud Garden I have to tie Raceway specificly to the Windows os which defeats the purpose of a multiplatform game. There is the option of FreeTTS. FreeTTS is a TTS engine written in pure Java, for Java applications, but isn't exactly very high quality. The final option is to prerecord the speech. Prerecording all the voice files using a high quality synth or a human is the best way to make the game pplatform independant. However, with prerecorded speech there is less possibility of making the game customisable. Cara Quinn wrote: Ah Thomas, you can see I've visited the website lately! lol! anyway, very cool and I'd forgotten about SAPI as an issue, but I too, would think there's got to be some sort of reasonable work around as you suggest.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was USA game web site?
Hi Josh, Well, not exactly. Using Java to wrap software not in the native language is still a bit of a pain for me, and ESpeak does have a different type of license. ESpeak is licensed as open source which probably prevents it as being shipped with a commercial product, but I'd have to check on its specific open source license agreement. Each open source license is a tad bit different. josh wrote: Hi thomas, you could maybe modify ESpeak and use it?

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was USA game web site?
Hi, Right. And you can bet your best horse that Raceway isn't going open source. I think it is going to be a great title for USA Games, and with the work and money involved in bringing it to market open source is not even an option. At worst I will dig someone up to record the game announcements, menus, etc and let everyone play it on their Mac, Windows PC, or Linux system or use a recorded TTS engine.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was USA game web site?
Hi Tyler, Well, you can't actually create your own stock car, but Raceway will allow you to select the type of stock car from a list of options. For example, you will be prompted when starting a new season if you want to have a Chevy, Dodge, Ford, or Toyoda stock car. Beyond that I haven't actually come up with more customization between those, but perhaps some Nascar fans out there can help shake out some more specifics on the available stock cars. There is still going to be a list of sponsors, but if i use pre-recorded speech you will only have the stock list to choose from. You won't be able to add new sponsors to the list which may or may not be a big deal with some folks. --- 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] Raceway was USA game web site?
Hi Geremy, Agreed. I am not as interested in so much the full custom driver, car, and track thing is making the game more authentic to true Nascar driving and racing. In this respect having a human doing announcements is much better. Especially, when there needs to be some excitement in the announcement. For example, you are on the final lap you are the leader. You want the announcement to say something in an excited sportsmans voice, One more lap until victory lain! Other senarios require equal emotion to make the game feel real. Like Thomas Ward has just put on a huge burst of spead and now is in the lead. Geremy Gilley is now in second place. Ron is still trailing the pack, and needs 5 more laps to complete this race. Of course, if we wanted to be totally authentic it would be sort of funny to include some loud, upset, ticked, off cussing at some choice moments. Where in h*** did he come from? Oh s***, his front tire just blew itself to h*** and back. Though, since this is a G rated game I won't have any of that, but it would be funny. --- 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.
