Re: [Audyssey] Mach1 was exciting free games - are theresuch things?
Hi Ron, Yeah, I know. A few years back I tried playing it on my Atari 7800 and I couldn't play worth spit after losing my vision. All I managed to do is run off the road and straight into the road signs on the sides of the track. G... You can sort of do it if you go slow and try and stay on the track by doing miner adjustments, but even if you manage to stay on the track and finish the qualifyer at the speed you are going you can't win the race. It is truly a game that requires vision to play, and split second timing to take the lead on the track.

Re: [Audyssey] Mach1 was exciting free games - are theresuch things?
Hi Thomas, I also very much liked Pole Position. Truthfully though I can't remember right now if I played it on my Atari 2600 or 800 XL. I never had a steering wheel for any of my Atari machines. So now that I do have one, Top Speed 2 is the only driving game that I have ever played with one. I never saw the NASCAR Thunder game. Sure did wear out the Atari joysticks playing Pole Position though. BFN Jim Vote YES for braille on speed limit signs.

Re: [Audyssey] Mach1 problems and bugs.
Hi Shaun, A problem with having a mod, mods or just allowing sound files to be changed in Mach 1 is that the game code was written to work with the sound files that it comes with. Other sound files may cause the game to not work correctly, crash or work differently on different computers and as you know we had an international competition series going for years. If the game did not run the same on all computers it would have skewed the race times and thus the competitions would not have been valid.

Re: [Audyssey] Mach1 problems and bugs.
another thing is if the mods are good enough they will want to share it, and if the dev in question is willing to post a section on mods on their site well the game becomes endless. Audioquake for example is a mod of quake in itself. However the 2 popular mods, overkill and jedyquake are most played. I don't really like the audioquake standard mod but the rest is all right.

Re: [Audyssey] Mach1 problems and bugs.
Hi Thomas, We had a discussion on the list about artistic copy write etc as with regards to modifying all of the sounds of Mach 1. Not to mention that the sound file that says "By Jim Kitchen" could have been changed. It was not, but could have been. I just feel that my games should be played the way that I make them or maybe not at all. You know after all of the work that I put into making them. Now if you want to make your games so that they can be modified, that is up to you. I know that other developers make their games so that they can not be modified and even so that their sound files can not be copied and used for other games. DirectX does not have the playback frequency range that TegoSoft does and Mach 1 uses. So converting Mach 1 to DirectX would mean just about a total rewrite which I do not plan to do.

Re: [Audyssey] Mach1 problems and bugs.
Hi Shaun, Yeah, I was going to try and put some Raceway effects in Mach1 to improve the sound quality, but preserve the game play as the game itself is quite fun. It's just I'd like some other sounds and a better tts voice better. Perhaps Jim will rewrite the game someday using DirectX 8 and his Sapi support. That would be nice. shaun everiss wrote: > I think jim did this to stop people hacking the game. > However after playing other games, eg railracer and topspeed those > files really are crappy in comparison. > It would be good if we could modify those. > ___ Gamers mailing list ..

It's been along time since I played with it, and I understand why Mach1 was being so picky about the files. I had thought all of your games had been updated to DirectX 8.

Re: [Audyssey] Mach1 problems and bugs.
Hi Thomas, It was way back on like version 1 of Mach 1, A gentleman changed all of my sound files in Mach 1 using his voice for the game and distributed them via the gamers list etc. I did not like the fact that the game was no longer the way that I designed and produced it. Mach 1 uses TegoSoft rather than DirectX to play the sounds. With TegoSoft I can check several of the aspects of the sound files. Which I do and the game will not run if they do not match. Some of my games allow one to change the sound files and others especially the ones that are solely sound file based like Mach 1 do not let you change them.
