Re: [Audyssey] topspeed 2 - I'm confused
Hi Rachel, I gues you naturally know that Top Speed's basic characteristics suite driving a real car quite well. So you have to keep your foot on the gas (hold down the up arrow) to maintain continuous progress, as well as keep on breaking or steering in the turns, not just tapping the arrow a single time and hoping for the car to maneuver itself intelligently. It might seem abit funny to emphasize this, but I've really met a blindie whose mind worked like that. Obviously he had no clue at all as to how a real car behaves. :-) That's all about it - you have to listen carefully and sensitively for signs of your car's behaviour - the sound of your engine, the position in the stereo field, potentially sounds of the other cars and environmental ambience, and if you have the track memorized, think a few turns in advance and in accordance with your speed, etc, etc. But most importantly, the co pilot announces the direction in which you shall turn your car, not the one in which physical force will start pulling you. It means that the sound of your car shall always move in the opposite direction than was announced in turns. If it doesn't, you shall probably check whether your speakers are correctly placed. So, if the co pilot says a right turn is incoming, you shall just steer left until your car reaches the center of the stereo field again. Also, it might help to set fixed distance before the curve announcement in game options, at least at the beginning, until the learning curve doesn't seem too sharp to you any more... :-))) Hope this helps, and feel free to ask all day and night if needed. :-D Take care, Lukas - Original Message - From: Rachel D Keyte [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 2:47 AM Subject: [Audyssey] topspeed 2 - I'm confused Hi all, New attempting to play topspeed 2, but it just seems confusing. first of all, is my car meant to remain in the stereo feild at all times?

Re: [Audyssey] topspeed 2 - I'm confused
Hi Rachel, I don't know if this will help, but the perspective of Top Speed is that of being above and behind your car rather than inside your car as is the perspective in Mach 1. So the sound panning does end up being backward to that of Mach 1. HTH BFN Jim So what if I'm a bit behind. I like the view from here.

[Audyssey] Voyager Elite Force.
Hi All, I don't normally discuss games on here that aren't very accessible, but for you Trek fans with some sighted help and a walk through Voyager Elite Force is one cool game. This weekend for my birthday my Dad bought me Star Trek Voyager Elite Force. At first I was rather skeptical about the game, but once I installed it fell in love with the game. To bad much of it needs someone sighted to help with it. However, I can give Raven Software one bit of accessibility credit for VEF though. So many times the menu systems are not very navigable, but the VEF manual comes on the cd in ht ml format, and they have an entire chapter called menus. Once reading that chapter I discovered they list all the menus in order, and tell you what each option does. Just by reading this users manual I managed to figure out the menu system, and can usually move around in them unaided by sighted help. Anyway, Elite Force takes place during probably the fifth, sixth, or seventh season of Star Trek Voyager. Definitely, after the episode Scorpion in which Seven of Nine joined the crew heading back home. Lieutenant Tuvock is training a special elite force of Voyager crewman called the Hazard Team to head up extremely dangerous away team missions to dangerous for the senior staff, and standard crewman. You play the part of Ensign Munro who is second in command of this team, and the game allows you to make Munro a female or male depending on your gender of choice. In mission 1 Seven of Nine designs a new super weapon to fight the Borg called the infinity modulator. The first away team was sent to a Borg ship, was captured, and the infinity modulator fell in to enemy hands. Ensign Munro's first major mission is to beam aboard the Borg Cube recover the I-Mod, and rescue any crewman left alive and assimilated. I've noticed from this mission the 3D audio is great. Sadly though there is no way to know exactly when one corridor ends, and where to turn down one. As it happens in level one you need to make a hard left, and shoot the distribution node powering a force field to gain access to the corridor that leads to your comrades. You are armed with a type 3 phaser rifle and a standard hand phaser. I have found the type 3 phaser rifle is more effective in blasting the Borg. The hand phaser they adapt to far to quickly for my tastes. As far as combat goes you don't have the targeting indicators like in SOD, but if you are able to listen closely and center the sound of the Borgs steps and the wine of its machinery you can line them up in your phaser sights and take them down. Though headphones with good 3D audio is kind of a must to be good at targeting in this game. Assuming you take the corridor that was blocked by the forcefield you walk a ways don this corridor, and make a hard right. This corridor is also shielded, but one of your buddies is behind it. You can rescue him, but of course the Borg will get kind of upset at you taking one of there prisoners awaiting assimilation, and then the real combat begins. Personally, I have found fleet the the Borg troops as much as you can, save phaser ammo, as well as frequencies until you locate the Infinity Modulator. Thanks Seven for a kick butt weapon. Once you find it blast away at the Borg. They will swarm you in huge numbers, but with that weapon in hand you can cut them down. Ok, assuming you complete levels 1 through 3 you discover it was all apart of your training simulation, but just as you are finding this out Voyager is ambushed by an unknown alien ship. The Warp core goes off line, and Torres reports a massive warp core breach. Since you are still garbed in your hazard gear, and happened to be reporting for duty on the bridge Captain Janeway orders you down to main engineering where Torres gives you your mission orders. Basically, get in there and save the warp core before you get fried, the ship blows, or Voyager is forced to eject the warp core leaving them stuck in the Delta Quadrant forever. That's about as far as I have gotten, but I have been reading up on the other away missions, etc and they sound really awesome. Especially, the battles with Species 8472. Anyone played this game, and have tips, tricks, or advice for making this a tad more accessible, or have tricks on I can get around some of the sighted requirements? ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games product ordering and registration.
Hi Will, That is something that is yet to be decided upon. I have already Expressed my misgivings with the way that GMA currently registers games like every time you format your hard drive and reinstall XP from scratch I have to get a new product key, or I have to order a key for every computer I own. GMA is nice about key replacements, but it is still a hastle. Even making it computer specific is proving to not be as secure as many devs would like. I know of a commercial licensing tool which is suppose to lock a product to a specific computer but there are supposed to be cracks out there for it.

I suggest that we all take the programming topics to the agdev-newbies list hosted over on the agdev.org sight.

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering if it might be possible to create password locked game files to replace a save feature. Before the days of save features in main stream games or even in cerial interactive fiction, this method was opften used to save a game's status. Obviously the amount of different exe files you could create would be limited, but at the very least you could split a long game into smaller chunks by creating in effect separate smaller games (say one for each level), each file locked with a password that you'd get when you completed the previous one in the series. I was also wondering, is there any facility iether in the audio game maker itself or in the coded files you create, to coppy certain things once you've created them, either building block constructions like enemies, or entire worlds, say you wanted the same room several times in a dungeon. This is also related to the previous question, sinse if you can coppy game elements or even entire chunks of game, it might make creating a large game in various smaller bits a good deal easier than having to repeat everything from scratch. sorry about the annoying questions.

Re: [Audyssey] Voyager Elite Force.
I have had friends who played elet force 1 and 2. I can't remember how it all went, but you meet the etherians, good guys, and this living thing called the forge and the warsoth or is it vorsoth. Its a misprogrammed computer or something electronic. It basically wants to concer you need to kill it. In ef2, you come home, firstly having to get out of a borg cube, this time having your imod jammed for a time. Then you are in starfleet acadomy where you are told that the hazard team is no more. The team is saved by picard and you go to the enterprise. Where you get the idril who are not good, some are some are not and atrexians I think, and exomorphs which are massive monsters, weapons really. Basically its the end of a genetic war. There are many sides in this war, but in the end the sides sort it all out amongst themselves and end of that. IN ef1 there is an expantion pack, where you go round voyager, into the holodeck, and trying things like hair pasta from the replicater. The going around voyager pack is boring to. The only thing my friends and I found funny but not really productive was shooting the crew including janeway. Ofcause its game over but you get the idea. In ef2 in starfleet acadomy its possible to shoot people and the game won't bat an eye. However if you shoot sertain people the game will crash. My best game that has non stop action would bridge commander. The cardiations are up to their tricks again, we have the kesoc, a new cylicon bassed alien with advanced weapons working with the cardations. Ofcause cardations just want the tech and to invade. So you have the dontless and then soverign. You can also play simulated battles and do play sim battles with klingons and other things. Bridge commander is more like stfc, and stng than the elete force storys, with bc its like you are watching the tv except you are causing the shots. The game unfortunately is mouse controled. Otherwise a blind person would be able to some what play it as there is a load of audio prompts. also warnings when you do the wrong thing. Sometimes there are 2 sometimes none.

[Audyssey] star trek voyager elite force
Hi, If anyone wants the sounds, music, and voices or dialog from star trek voyager elite force, I got it. I'll put it up and give it to who wants it. Maybe when audio game maker comes out I can make an accessible elite force game. I read that in the game there is more than one .exe file, so in essence there is two games in one. Maybe when audio game maker comes out and if I can make such a game using the tools it gives me I can make several games and package it as one and you can choose which game and how hard you want it by chooseing the appropriate .exe file or shortcut to that file.

Re: [Audyssey] Technoshock Finally Complete!
Hi all, Here's a hint: H I N T You all are missing something. Remember the sound of a door opening when you flipped the switch? That's right, once the fireballs start coming, there's more to explore than there was before.

This means that Audio Game Maker is still released Februari 1st but it may still contain some bugs and may not feature some specific functionalities. We will keep you updated! On a slightly more positive note, click the following link to download an mp3 preview of what Audio Game Maker will approximately sound like: http://www.audiogamemaker.com/downloads/audiogamemakerpreview1.mp3 In this preview you will first hear how a new world is selected and how a new player object is added to this world. After that you will hear how a property (in this case the y-property of the player) is set to 1. You will then hear a Portal Object being built at some distance from the Player Object (the Builder moves away from the Player Object). The Audio Environment is then temporarily exited to create a new World. In the World Settings Menu the acoustics of this second world is then set to cathedral. Then you will hear how the Worldsound and the Moodsound for this world is set. After that a new player and another portal are added to the second world (you will then hear the builder turn 360 degrees in front of the player object). Then we return to the first world and set the properties of Portal 1 so that it links to the portal in world 2. Please note that this is only a preview to give you a first impression of Audio Game Maker. Many sounds are still missing and this is *not* the final soundmix.

[Audyssey] Fw: phrogram development question : kids programming language .
Hi, I received the following message from the people who make the phrogram kids programming language. I think from the message, if you read it, they are willing to do what is necessary to make phrogram accessible. Josh - Original Message - From: Jon Schwartz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Josh' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 11:44 AM Subject: RE: phrogram development question : kids programming language . Hello Josh, Glad you found Phrogram! To answer your questions: 1. The free version of Phrogram does not compile EXE files or produce Windows installer programs. You are the first blind programmer who has asked us about Phrogram, and we would greatly appreciate your feedback about Phrogram, as well as about using JAWS with Phrogram, so here is an academic license key which you can use to register Phrogram: ACAP2K7I-TNM1Z-Y2A1Y-EHMZ1 The Help menu, Enter a Registration key is where this key is entered into Phrogram. Phrogram does require .NET Framework 2.0 - you probably already have that installed, but I'd be glad to send a download link if you do not. Phrogram is a 27 megabyte download, and can be downloaded from http://phrogram.com/files/folders/86/download.aspx That downloaded EXE launches a standard installation wizard. Phrogram adds a My Phrogram Files folder underneath My Documents, and all included Phrogram content is under that folder. 2. We do not know about JAWS, but I am hopeful that Phrogram will work well with it. Phrogram is a .NET windows application, which JAWS should support well. Phrogram is effectively a simple subset of the Visual Studio.NET environment. It's menus and buttons are fairly standard. On feature that might require some scripting is the Explorer pane, which is basically a tree control that organizes the many example programs that are included in Phrogram. I would recommend starting a review of Phrogram program by opening the 16 example programs in the folder 1) Step-by-Step Tutorial. Those are each simple code examples which will give you a very quick introduction to the language. Another feature which might require some scripting is that the code editor using collapsible regions, just like Visual Studio does. The leftmost columns in the code editor include a line number which is informational only. The column after the line number is either a + indicating the region can be opened, a - indicating the region can be closed, or a | indicating that line is within a region which is open. At the moment, regions are closed by default. We already have in mind a feature that allows all code regions to be opened by default - this would surely be a better default for a blind programmer. 3. There are fairly standard keyboard shortcuts for all menu items, and they are listed on the menu item. If it would help to have a specific list of keystrokes and menu functions I'd be glad to send you that. 4. Audio games can be created, but at the moment Phrogram's sound support is limited to playing, stopping and looping of WAV files. We plan much richer sound support in the future, and your feedback about that would be very welcome. Your request for DirectX-style audio control is one we are planning, just as we have also implemented a simplifying wrapper around the 3D model functionality in DirectX. Besides the dozens of WAV files included with Phrogram, we offer nearly 200 others for download from our website. I am a bit worried about the usability of the site for a blind person, so if you find that http://phrogram.com/files/folders/soundfiles/default.aspx is not usable for you, I can provide a list of direct urls to download ZIP files of our sound archives.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker Update (includes first audio impression)
Well it comes down to good acting. Most VO talent I know are also actors / performers, so to me, at least, it's definitely a plus.

It screams out and really destroys the game's cred in my mind... conversely, If a game has great talent, but the play is mediocre, I'm not so put off on it...

Re: [Audyssey] Voyager Elite Force.
Hi Shaun, There are quite a number of enemies in VEF 1. The aliens you were thinking of are the Vorhsoth (v o r h s o t h.) I haven't yet reached the Forge mission, but the Scavenger invasion mission isn't to bad. If you can find your way to cargo bay 1 you can basically listen for the sounds of the Scavengers and blast at will. Although stray shots will hit cargo containers, causing them to explode, and I am certain Captain Janeway would be less than pleased to know one of her Hazard Team officers is randomly blowing up the ship's stores. Thankfully, you aren't being graded on hitting cargo that just happens to be in your line of fire. Get to close to some of those containers and it is lights out. As for the expantion pack Activision and Raven Software offers for VEF I also think it sounds pretty stupid. Although, I had before you could shoot and kill the bridge crew. Kind of a dumb idea, but I suppose for the sick-minded a bit funny. I don't have Elite Force 2, but based on your description I doubt I'll be getting it.

Re: [Audyssey] star trek voyager elite force
Hi Josh, Actually, I have unpacked all the sounds, graphics, and music for Voyager Elite Force directly off my cd. Once my two major concerns, Montezuma's Revenge and Raceway are completed, I will likely begin writing an accessible version of Voyager Elite Force myself. I'd rather do that game myself as I don't see Audio Games Maker coming close to doing Elite Force any justice at all. For example in Elite Force you can save several games at several points in the games. We all know Audio games Maker doesn't have that feature at all yet. Also many of the worlds or missions are a 3D environment with Ensign Munro jumping up on to platforms, elivators, to reach other levels of the ship. A good example of this is In the second Mission Janeway orders you to head to engineering to help B'elanna fix the warp core. Well the turbolift failes half way there, and you can exit on deck 9. If you use a ladder to your left down that main corridor you can climb down to main engineering. This multilevel level environment is probably above and beyond Audio Games Makers abilities. Since VEF is a true 3D environment I'd expect the audio games clone to be the same in that respect. Cheers. Josh wrote: Hi, If anyone wants the sounds, music, and voices or dialog from star trek voyager elite force, I got it. I'll put it up and give it to who wants it. Maybe when audio game maker comes out I can make an accessible elite force game. I read that in the game there is more than one .exe file, so in essence there is two games in one. Maybe when audio game maker comes out and if I can make such a game using the tools it gives me I can make several games and package it as one and you can choose which game and how hard you want it by chooseing the appropriate .exe file or shortcut to that file.

Re: [Audyssey] star trek voyager elite force
Hi Shaun, Yes, there are copyrights in place, but I have read the Raven Software and Activision license agreement for Voyager Elite Force, and there might be some room to actually do this game in accessible format as long as the accessible version was free. The only catch 22 is the license agreement states it has to work with the original product which simply isn't possible, and this would have to be discussed with Activision. I am thinking about contacting Activision about this, but here is a section talking about adding expantions and mods for VEF. • You agree that, as a condition to your using the Program Utilities, you will not use or allow third parties to use the Program Utilities and the New Game Materials created by you for any commercial purposes, including but not limited to selling, renting, leasing, licensing, distributing, or otherwise transferring the ownership of such New Game Materials, whether on a stand alone basis or packaged in combination with the New Game Materials created by others, through any and all distribution channels, including, without limitation, retail sales and on-line electronic distribution.

Re: [Audyssey] Voyager Elite Force.
Hi Cara, Interesting enough I noticed while playing Elite Force it seams to be based on a modified version of the Quake Engine. Some of the stuff reminded me allot like Quake, but was all Star Trek. The sounds were packed in the Quake 3 pak file format which was a sinch to lockpick, and that leads me to believe they used the Quake 3 engine as the basis for Voyager. I suppose there might be a couple of ways of cranking out an accessible version such as rewrite a new executable or come up with an Audio Quake mod.

Re: [Audyssey] Voyager Elite Force.
WOW. I love this game. The last time I played it was when it first came out on the PS2; that was back when I had half decent sight. Now, the fun part is go watch the Voyager TV show; every now and then you will here references to Munro or one of his team mates. Where are you right now Tom? It gets really really good; I think I must have played that game for like a week strait. The game is amazing; what happens in one mission will affect the rest of the game. For example, if you don't protect your team mate in one mission, 3 missions down the line you will have to do some really hard task because your team mate (who you did not protect) is not there. That or you miss out on some really funny arguments between team mates. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 3:24 AM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Voyager Elite Force. Hi All, I don't normally discuss games on here that aren't very accessible, but for you Trek fans with some sighted help and a walk through Voyager Elite Force is one cool game. This weekend for my birthday my Dad bought me Star Trek Voyager Elite Force. At first I was rather skeptical about the game, but once I installed it fell in love with the game. To bad much of it needs someone sighted to help with it. However, I can give Raven Software one bit of accessibility credit for VEF though. So many times the menu systems are not very navigable, but the VEF manual comes on the cd in ht ml format, and they have an entire chapter called menus. Once reading that chapter I discovered they list all the menus in order, and tell you what each option does. Just by reading this users manual I managed to figure out the menu system, and can usually move around in them unaided by sighted help. Anyway, Elite Force takes place during probably the fifth, sixth, or seventh season of Star Trek Voyager. Definitely, after the episode Scorpion in which Seven of Nine joined the crew heading back home. Lieutenant Tuvock is training a special elite force of Voyager crewman called the Hazard Team to head up extremely dangerous away team missions to dangerous for the senior staff, and standard crewman. You play the part of Ensign Munro who is second in command of this team, and the game allows you to make Munro a female or male depending on your gender of choice. In mission 1 Seven of Nine designs a new super weapon to fight the Borg called the infinity modulator. The first away team was sent to a Borg ship, was captured, and the infinity modulator fell in to enemy hands. Ensign Munro's first major mission is to beam aboard the Borg Cube recover the I-Mod, and rescue any crewman left alive and assimilated. I've noticed from this mission the 3D audio is great. Sadly though there is no way to know exactly when one corridor ends, and where to turn down one. As it happens in level one you need to make a hard left, and shoot the distribution node powering a force field to gain access to the corridor that leads to your comrades. You are armed with a type 3 phaser rifle and a standard hand phaser. I have found the type 3 phaser rifle is more effective in blasting the Borg. The hand phaser they adapt to far to quickly for my tastes. As far as combat goes you don't have the targeting indicators like in SOD, but if you are able to listen closely and center the sound of the Borgs steps and the wine of its machinery you can line them up in your phaser sights and take them down. Though headphones with good 3D audio is kind of a must to be good at targeting in this game. Assuming you take the corridor that was blocked by the forcefield you walk a ways don this corridor, and make a hard right. This corridor is also shielded, but one of your buddies is behind it. You can rescue him, but of course the Borg will get kind of upset at you taking one of there prisoners awaiting assimilation, and then the real combat begins. Personally, I have found fleet the the Borg troops as much as you can, save phaser ammo, as well as frequencies until you locate the Infinity Modulator. Thanks Seven for a kick butt weapon. Once you find it blast away at the Borg. They will swarm you in huge numbers, but with that weapon in hand you can cut them down. Ok, assuming you complete levels 1 through 3 you discover it was all apart of your training simulation, but just as you are finding this out Voyager is ambushed by an unknown alien ship. The Warp core goes off line, and Torres reports a massive warp core breach. Since you are still garbed in your hazard gear, and happened to be reporting for duty on the bridge Captain Janeway orders you down to main engineering where Torres gives you your mission orders. Basically, get in there and save the warp core before you get fried, the ship blows, or Voyager is forced to eject the warp core leaving them stuck in the Delta Quadrant forever. That's

Re: [Audyssey] star trek voyager elite force
ok. I'll let you tackle that one then. Josh - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 8:33 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] star trek voyager elite force Hi Josh, Actually, I have unpacked all the sounds, graphics, and music for Voyager Elite Force directly off my cd. Once my two major concerns, Montezuma's Revenge and Raceway are completed, I will likely begin writing an accessible version of Voyager Elite Force myself. I'd rather do that game myself as I don't see Audio Games Maker coming close to doing Elite Force any justice at all. For example in Elite Force you can save several games at several points in the games. We all know Audio games Maker doesn't have that feature at all yet. Also many of the worlds or missions are a 3D environment with Ensign Munro jumping up on to platforms, elivators, to reach other levels of the ship. A good example of this is In the second Mission Janeway orders you to head to engineering to help B'elanna fix the warp core. Well the turbolift failes half way there, and you can exit on deck 9. If you use a ladder to your left down that main corridor you can climb down to main engineering. This multilevel level environment is probably above and beyond Audio Games Makers abilities. Since VEF is a true 3D environment I'd expect the audio games clone to be the same in that respect. Cheers. Josh wrote: Hi, If anyone wants the sounds, music, and voices or dialog from star trek voyager elite force, I got it. I'll put it up and give it to who wants it. Maybe when audio game maker comes out I can make an accessible elite force game. I read that in the game there is more than one .exe file, so in essence there is two games in one. Maybe when audio game maker comes out and if I can make such a game using the tools it gives me I can make several games and package it as one and you can choose which game and how hard you want it by chooseing the appropriate .exe file or shortcut to that file.

You go up the elevator, then you hear seagulls and all you have to do is use the radio from your inventory and the ship is on its way. Just a question for those of you who have done a lot of exploring. In the area outside the boss room, there is this long passage stretching from the elevator to the door of the boss room. As I walk down this passage there is passages to my left and right, and from them monsters came out. I managed to kill them all, what I would like to know: is it necesary to walk down each of those passages? If there's no ammo etc. lying there, then it sno use me walking down each one of them. Because I tried it and I got lost somewhere so it took me a while to get back to the main passage. I'm just asking for when I play the boss level on higher experience levels. Well the monsters doesn't carry anything, but if any one found stuff lying around in those passages then its worth walking down each one of those passages. After the guy says: tie yourself, you deserve a medal for this, the ship makes a sound as its departing and the eva says: congrachulations, you have completed shades of doom successfully. But then the ship's sound continues. I waited a while to hear if the sound will vanish but it just continues. So then I pressed a key and the sound stops and I was back in the menu.

[Audyssey] game maker
Hi, I downloaded and tried the gamemaker software. It's very accessible using a screen reader. There are keyboard shortcuts everywhere and as far as I can see everything talks using jaws7 and window-eyes too, most likely. Now the thing about the program from www.gamemaker.nl is there's a lot of features we don't need such as features for makeing drawings move and things like that. But game-maker does have sound features, requires DirectX8 or more to play sounds, can play multiple sounds and loop them, and you can pan sounds from left to right in advanced mode. And if you register it for $20 you get even more features like libraries and things like that. You can even make games with gamemaker in which you can save your players progress in the .exe files that gamemaker can create. registration is only $20, the software is very very accessible.

Re: [Audyssey] Voyager Elite Force.
Wow Tom! no way! That's way cool! smile Actually, it's not altogether surprising, as you might be surprised how many games still use variants of that engine in some form... Not sure if you're aware, but though Doom gets cred for being the first 3d FPS it wasn't truly 3d as the creatures and such were 2d models and some of the map features also couldn't be viewed in true panoramic 3d. Quake on the other hand changed all that and was the first truly 3d engine which amazes me as it's still used today, as I said. Incidentally, as of late 2005, Quake 1 has just come out on certain cell phones which have graphics acceleration, and will run all, I repeat all, Quake 1 mods! So technically, it would be possible to run audio Quake on a cell phone! dig?... smile Anyway, sorry for the ramble, but just had to! smile As for VEF, I'm wondering if that may be why their license agreement is a bit open ended like that? As the Quake 3 engine / game code is also open source... Which brings me to your idea. I agree that it would be pretty easy to come up with an accessible version of VEF based on that engine. My work has been concerned with quake 1, but I'll most definitely give this a look up on the web and see what I can find. smile Need another pair of hands?! anyway, this is definitely a terrific idea which I'd love love love to see happen!

I suppose there might be a couple of ways of cranking out an accessible version such as rewrite a new executable or come up with an Audio Quake mod.

Re: [Audyssey] game maker
You might want to be careful about that. You might just turn everybody off Audio Game Maker. If a program exists that already allows players to save their in-game progress, people aren't going to want to try the specially designed program, meaning it won't be updated because the devs won't get the funding they need to continue work on it.

Re: [Audyssey] Voyager Elite Force.
Hi Josh, I have never tried the demo. I've got the full version, and the pak file the sounds are in is something like 524 MB. Pretty huge. If your demo pak file is smaller than that then you might not have it all. Although, the pak file holds sounds, vidios, music, graphics, and a bunch of other things so on and I am not sure what is and is not included in the demo. I suppose you could make multiple exe files with Audio Game maker to make multiple games, but with VEF it has two modes which is single player mode and a team player mode type game. As for the math there are books out there as well as other programmers that could probably give you the formulas to use for certain things. Also google is your friend for stuff like that. Another thing I did was grabbed a few open source games for Linux, scanned the source, and wripped out the formulas I needed for my games if I didn't already have it figured out. Josh wrote: so tom, do I just have a demo or do I have all the sounds? Do I need to buy the full version to get all the sounds? Also, wonder if audio game maker would be up to the task of makeing a few voyager games packaged as one voyager game that people could choose which game to play? Since I didn't get a chance to take calculus or trig in either high school or college, and since I am living on SSI and can't afford to attend college with my wife who is also blind, our first child on the way, I can't take calculus or trig so audio game maker is gunna have to due.

Re: [Audyssey] game maker
Having not looked into the thing I can't be certain, but I've heard quite a lot of talk about the limitations of that program, and that to actually get a game worth playing it's a good idea to tinker with the code in the exe file yourself. Also, even if it can pan sounds left to right and play different amounts of sounds at once, does it have the same ability to create a 3D environment and objects in sound you can interact with, as in Sod? could you have sound cutscenes with it? Personally, i can't wait for the audio game maker to come out, sinse i've already considdered how to do some fun things with it. My only problem is that the production I'm in happens in early march, so it'll be a while before I can spend all my time and energy on Audio game maker. Beware the Grue!

It's very accessible using a screen reader. There are keyboard shortcuts everywhere and as far as I can see everything talks using jaws7 and window-eyes too, most likely. Now the thing about the program from www.gamemaker.nl is there's a lot of features we don't need such as features for makeing drawings move and things like that. But game-maker does have sound features, requires DirectX8 or more to play sounds, can play multiple sounds and loop them, and you can pan sounds from left to right in advanced mode. And if you register it for $20 you get even more features like libraries and things like that. You can even make games with gamemaker in which you can save your players progress in the .exe files that gamemaker can create. registration is only $20, the software is very very accessible.

Re: [Audyssey] C64 Games was Re: M.U.L.E.
First, download the vice emulator for windows. Then go find your games. One site I think is gamebase64.com. In options, click joystick settings, and use the num pad keys setting. Click file, auto start disk tape image, then pick your game. The vice interfaces perfectly with jaws except that it can't read the c64 screen. Once you start the game you then have to remember what keystrokes do what. The two games I used to play well are pole position and karate devil--I almost beat that one--perfectly accessible! I was halfway decent at Blue Max too, but you couldn't tell where the buildings were to blow em up. Ken Downey President DreamTechInteractive! And, Coming soon, Blind Comfort!

On Jan 15, 2007, at 2:35 AM, shaun everiss wrote: I have the vb stuff but another language would be cool. What restrictions is ruby over say c#? A bit slower, but audio games are generally not as demanding as their graphical counterparts. You're also restricted to distributing the source with your applications as both are interpreted, though there are utilities for both to convert the scripts to windows executables. At 08:52 p.m. 15/01/2007, you wrote: that sounds a whole lot easier. if i remember that looks like ruby code, as i've seen the midi scripter that emanuel borsboom wrote in ruby, and to script midi uses lines like that. Yeah, that's one of the more advanced features that I like--you can design what are called domain-specific languages, mini-programming languages for doing very specific tasks. See, for instance, how I'm defining game menus in the game I'm planning to release after Torrent: menu do menu(Start game) do item(Easy) do WaveManager.difficulty = WaveManager.Easy Game.start end item(Hard) do WaveManager.difficulty = WaveManager.hard Game.start end end item(Configure) do end item(Exit) do Game.shutdown end end What I've done here is define a game menu with three items--Start game, Configure and Exit. The Start game menu item brings up a submenu with two items, Easy and Hard. Each of these sets WaveManager.difficulty appropriately and starts the game. The Configure item does nothing for now. Exit shuts down the game. Now, none of that is standard Ruby. I'm basically developing my own mini-language for defining menus from within Ruby itself, and it's super easy. This is also very easy to extend to something like, say, game entity scripting, so you can easily develop mini-languages for creating missions, levels, etc.: ship do name = CNV Titan position = [100, 200, 0] speed = 0 mode = :peaceful end or something similar. The possibilities are quite exhaustive for what can be accomplished with domain-specific languages. Anyhow, as I stated, that's a rather advanced feature of Ruby, but it gives you some sense of what is possible. It's an easy language, but no toy or Kids Programming Language. :P however, i didn't realise ruby could actually be coded in windows. i tried to download ruby but all i got was the interpreter. it didn't include any docs on how to script it or anything. Yeah, that's all there is to it. For a good introductory book, see: http://rubycentral.com/book and you say it can interface to dx? wow! No, I didn't say that. As far as I know, it can't. It does, however, work nicely with SDL which is a DirectX alternative. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

It's pretty hard to find a descent and non-expensive English-language voice-over here in Holland. There aren't that many native speakers who do voice-over work here and those who do often aren't cheap. But we took Eveline in well consideration (she isn't a native speaker, which is audible, but for a menu voice-over her tone of voice and pronunciation were more than descent enough). Next time I might choose to make it a bit more monotone though, but I *really really really* love the level of expression. Mind that we didn't use the non-professional oh-let's-have-the-neigbour-do-the-evil-villain-type of approach - we know better than that (I teach my students this as one of the main rules of good game audio design in my game audio design classes).

This means that Audio Game Maker is still released Februari 1st but it may still contain some bugs and may not feature some specific functionalities. We will keep you updated! On a slightly more positive note, click the following link to download an mp3 preview of what Audio Game Maker will approximately sound like: http://www.audiogamemaker.com/downloads/audiogamemakerpreview1.mp3 In this preview you will first hear how a new world is selected and how a new player object is added to this world. After that you will hear how a property (in this case the y-property of the player) is set to 1. You will then hear a Portal Object being built at some distance from the Player Object (the Builder moves away from the Player Object). The Audio Environment is then temporarily exited to create a new World. In the World Settings Menu the acoustics of this second world is then set to cathedral. Then you will hear how the Worldsound and the Moodsound for this world is set. After that a new player and another portal are added to the second world (you will then hear the builder turn 360 degrees in front of the player object). Then we return to the first world and set the properties of Portal 1 so that it links to the portal in world 2. Please note that this is only a preview to give you a first impression of Audio Game Maker. Many sounds are still missing and this is *not* the final soundmix.
