<quote from Dakotah> I have many sighted friends who are interested in games for the blind. I consistently beat almost all of them. Only one can beat me and that's because of rocket launchers and the high speed of rocket approaches. <end quote from Dakotah> YAY, go Anthony!! Show that big brother who's boss! The rockets are hard to get out of the way sometimes; if the person who is firing them is close enough, there is really no way to jump, or push it back in time. But it is a lot of fun when you hear the rocket coming, and you have enough time to push it right back into the face of the person who sent it.
See you guys in the arena!

In some ways, sighted people will have an advantage over us in AQ. In others, we have the advantage. For example, the JQ sniper mod allows us to target across a map with accuracy. The sighted players do not have this advantage if they do not use accessibility features. Even if they do, their focus is the screen, so they miss out on clues like that.

Only one can beat me and that's because of rocket launchers and the high speed of rocket approaches. The rest are either even with me, based on map configuration, or are not as good as I am. If in the launcher, they go into graphics rendering options, they can turn on graphics. Note: a computer must have a fairly impressive hardware configuration to show graphics without lag.

(sighted or otherwise) he can install the audio Quake package and simply turn off the access features and show graphics. I believe I still have a package up on my ftp site which I can check into which has this already done. I seem to remember in that case, that someone can simply run the GLQuake.exe file but not totally sure at the moment... As for other game types, so far, the only other game types I know of, that are implemented in AQ, are teamplay and coop... It's certainly possible to have others, but this is starting to come into the realm of mods rather than original Quake game types, which is fine, except that it would involve a bit of coding that I for one, would not want to do at present. <smile> JQ alone, took me quite a while to create / perfect in it's present form. <smile> Anyway, hope this answers your question and glad to see that people are still interested in Audio quake / JediQuake!... Have an awesome day!... Smiles, Cara :) On Jan 13, 2008, at 11:51 AM, Zachary Kline wrote: > > Hiya, > > I've been trying to get back into AudioQuake lately.
