Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
That sounds quite feasible actually. I am not, as I've said, a source of much hope as far as being a programmer, but I think it could work. There's only one problem I see. Either the programming for the bot would have to be extensive, incredibly, or there would be no way to make it do what you want it to do as an observer. Also, there could be none of the random hit/miss chance of most games like that, because the result would need to be the same on both systems. Now, I still think it'd be cool because you could try out different bots on your own system and it'd be fun...but I'm not sure how you'd make it much fun as an observer if every shot hit unless a wall was in the way or if every shot from the arena hit just because it was fired or dropped or what have you. I'd still like to see it.

It would be a play by mail game. Each player would design a fighting battle bot to play against an opponents battle bot. Each player would design the bot and then program the bot. The game would be based on a certain amount of money to buy the parts...defensive and offensive. when the bot was fully designed..and it would be designed for a specific play field. you would click on save and a text file would be generated that you can cut and paste into an email to your opponent. He would then load in his bot..and the text file you sent..and click begin match. a SAPI voice would then call off the battle to you. there would be appropiate sounds for the battle. you would not be able to change the bot during the match. you would be stricly an observer. If the programming is done right..both people should hear the same exact battle on their own computer. The outcome should be the same on each system. the text file would be encoded so no cheating would be permitted. No IP address would be needed...as the only internet you need is the EMail your opponent will send you. an editor would be provided to create the playfields. things like power up pads to recharge the bot, obstacles like walls to block shots, maybe some offensive and defensive weapons laying on the playfield to pickup? this is the basics I have hashed out so far.. any ideas on this from the gaming gallery?

Re: [Audyssey] Possible changes in Monty beta 2.
I think it would be better with pre-recorded speech. I like sapi, it works quite OK for me (i am not sure my error is being generated by that technology) but it's safer, I think, to make the game speak by itself. Well, I know that there are copyright matters about using pre-recorded clips with sapi5 voices, especially if it's a commercial package(I know monty is not a freeware product), you could use ESpeak instead. It's not really really high quality, it has a quite robotic voice, but it's free and open source product http://espeak.sf.net For the other issue, I hope to solve it this evening at home ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] AGM concerns
well, true that there is little support. But think that it's a prototype. Developers have repeated it so long during this past week, and they were really in a rush(the project was planned from september to february) and the fire, with following change of working place, new licenses, etc, has made the matter more complicated as it was from the start. My hope is that there will be a phase 2 of the project and that bugs and mistakes, present in this prototype, can be fixed. I have always considered this first project as a test, I am frustrated too, as English is not my mother language, I need really more concentration on reading the docs and understanding the real meaning of concepts, but that does not mean AGM's developers haven't worked hard, or they do not work hard, or that they cannot improve the quality of the project. We must give also negative feedbacks, it's true, but I think that continuing to criticize them, would cause frustration to them too, they could react badly and give up with the project. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Che, I completely agree with you about support and good documentation and so forth. I guess you did not read my previous post about me having left the Accessibility foundation 2 months ago. Sander left too, Michiel was an intern untill februari so at the moment, from the Accessibility foundation, there is no staff. The project team ended somewhere in May - with only one intenr (Brian) doing some testing stuff, whereas me and Michiel we working on AGM behind the scenes. So my pffft was not intended as professional, man, just from someone who spend two or three hectic days on AGM, then taking some time off and then *one day* later discovering an email of someone writing *quote* It looks like the AGM guys have quit responding to questions on this list and most questions on the forums as well.*/quote*. Everything I contributed to AGM in the past few months has been voluntary, in my own free time, (neglecting my website AudioGames.net in the process of it), without getting paid for it, as I have another job (PhD research game audio design at University of Portsmouth). AGM is not a commercial *product*, it is a proof of concept within a project that was intended to last 6 months. It has users, not customers. As I explained before, all your feedback will be used in an update of the manual - which mostly likely we (that is, us volunteers) will write in our free time. See my previous email about this. But don't start writing stuff after ONE day IN THE WEEKEND about US quiting responding to questions. Just to warn you: I will be busy the next few weeks writing a presentation for GDC Austin, where I will be talking about making video games accessible for blind gamers, as well as how the mainstream and mobile industry can benefit from the fields of blind-accessible games and audio games. So if I don't hang around on this list or on the forum replying your questions, it will be because of this.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts about a tomb hunter game.
Hey Thomas, I've noticed that in the few names we have went over in Humanities at school, now that you mention it. I was under the impression that we were just using the Greek names I didn't realize that some English translations were the same as the Greek names. Thanks for telling me that, learn something new everyday.

Hi Richard, Well, some of the Egyptian and gods and goddesses names are exactly the same in English as ancient Egyptian like Osiris and Isis for example. However, for the god Set hostorians don't all agree on the proper name for him. It really depends on who translated the name, and I guess there is some tricky reading of the heirogliphs for his name. Though, most historians refer to him commonly as Set. At this point I am just brain storming ideas for the Tomb Hunter game. I like Egyptian history as well as the next Historian, but that is but one possible game plot. I can easily see my new Tomb Hunter character exploring deep in some African or South American jungle, looking through some ancient mountains, searching a desert, etc... Bottom line, our history is filled with thousands of quests for some mystical and mythical item or place like Atlantice, the Spear of Destany, Arc of the Covenant, Excalibur, fountain of youth, just to name some of the more popular choices. I could write an entire series of games surrounding this game character if the games become that popular. If I run out of the usual suspects I can venture into more Sci-fi relms seaking some long lost alien artifact left hear by some alien race that visited our planet in ancient times. Basically, there is allot of options here. Richard Bennett wrote: Hey Tom, well I believe I prefer Apophis to Set.

Thanks for the back up guys, I appreciate it immensely. I'm not posting about AGM to put it down at all, I think it is a great concept and will help potential game developers get a feel for game creation, which in turn will be a benefit to us all. I hope the AGM guys understand we love their program, but without support and answers to our questions, we are just going to be frustrated and end up not using it, especially the hundreds of people that have downloaded it and have no real concept of how to make a well balanced game and are hoping to learn with AGM.

Set up a trigger on the same position as the item and have it set up to be collision based. Have its soul purpose be to set the property of the item sword that is default sound to none.

Re: [Audyssey] Possible changes in Monty beta 2.
Hi Bryan, Well, according to Che's figures so far his Sapi end user problems have been under 3% which is very good odds. So I am a little unsure if I want to change back to prerecorded speech with a possible 97% success rate looking at me. Having reviewed my figures out of around 200 downloads so far only about 5 have actually emailed in asking for help with broken Sapi installs. Since no one else emailed in about Sapi I have to conclude either no one else had issues, or they had issues and gave up without emailing me to get it solved. Either way my own experience put the Sapi problems in the same 3% margin Che's figures showed. it is true Sapi can be a pita at times, but according to field testing it doesn't happen as much as I once feared. It is just that those people who have the problem standout more, and makes the program look bad even though the problem is on their end and not anything to do with Montezuma's Revenge actual design, quality, and performence.

Re: [Audyssey] Possible changes in Monty beta 2.
As I said before, I think keeping it with SAPI is a good idea. At work, we see similar SAPI issues when people want to use Eloquence for their speech, but they installed another version of Eloquence from another product. The same Eloquence but different versions cannot co-exist very easily on the same machine. For example, Window-Eyes ships with Eloquence version 5 and K1000 version 11 ships with Eloquence 6. So, when people have these 2 products, they need to choose if they want to use Eloquence 5 or 6. I've heard from some people who say they can get both versions to co-exist, but I do not know the way. I think that it's possible the problems people tend to have may be version conflicts more than anything. In any case, these situations really are the minority and the exception to the rule. -- Raul A.

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
Hey, why do we have to be observers, why dont there be an option, so the bot can be programmed, and then you shoot and fire and what not? and online multiplayer would be nice because then anything could happen, so it wouldnt really have to be the same on both comps.

Also, there could be none of the random hit/miss chance of most games like that, because the result would need to be the same on both systems. Now, I still think it'd be cool because you could try out different bots on your own system and it'd be fun...but I'm not sure how you'd make it much fun as an observer if every shot hit unless a wall was in the way or if every shot from the arena hit just because it was fired or dropped or what have you.

The game would be based on a certain amount of money to buy the parts...defensive and offensive. when the bot was fully designed..and it would be designed for a specific play field. you would click on save and a text file would be generated that you can cut and paste into an email to your opponent.

The outcome should be the same on each system. the text file would be encoded so no cheating would be permitted.

Sapi can be broken in so many ways it is an unstable technology to hitch my waggen to. My thought if this issue is serious enough for most gamers I could revert back to the way it was earlier shipping the game with it's own built in speech using recorded samples of Scansoft Karen, Daniel, Neospeech Kate, whatever.

Hi all. I've a question for you. When you design a course using the course maker is a hole rated with a 10 more difficult than a hole rated with 90. You have the rating system of between 10 and 90. Is there also a way of finding out what a hole's rating is once the course is made? Hope someone can answer these. From John Snowling. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
I had originally thought the same way you do. but then I found out that with my Verizon DSL account...my IP address is always changing. so, while I could test the program on my local network..I would not be able to test it and make it work like Jean Luc's Sound RTS program. I have no programming skill to make a program to run on a web site to re-direct the game like Jean Luc's program does on his web site. I am going to have to read several books on AI...artificial intelligence...to learn how to make the drone robots for the player to battle against. I often asked Jim Kitchen why he did not take his wonderful games and make them work thru the net. Now I see the trouble involved in that request. Robert ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Sound RTS Strategy Help
I made a quick test against the computer in quiet mode in map 3. I got my first knight in less than 10 minutes. Here is what you need to get knights: build a barracks, then upgrade your townhall to a keep, then build a stable, then recruit your first knight. I used 5 peasants and I built one more farm, but I don't know which number of peasants is the best. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
I thought long and hard on the random factor of the game... to make the game run exactly on two computers..the random function ov VB6 could not be used. I am considering letting the robot creation program create a file of random numbers from 0 to 9. Perhaps a list of 64, 128, or 256 numbers. This sequential file of numbers would pull a number from the list each time a random factor was required. this will ensure both computers pull the same random number and react the same on both systems. This will not in any way be an arcade type game...it will be a strategy game...a programming game. Just like the programmers at NASA had to program those robots on mars to react to conditions by themselves according to certain paramaters...so willthis robot run its program. I am considering making groups of commands that the user can cut and paste into their robots programming. a particulary good piece of code could be shared to other users. I even considered making the program create encrypted financial dealing with other users. Say I sit down and make a kick-whoop-fantastic piece of offensive code.. and another player wishes my code. I say I will sell you the code for 20 robot credits..and he says yes. I cut and pasted the encrypted code into email to send to him. He gets this code and then clicks on pay for the code. another piece of encrytped code is created which he send to me. I click on accept payment. I get 20 robot credits from him..and I generate a passcode to send back to him in another email. He cuts and pastes this code into the program and he is debited the 20 credits and he gets full use of the code. now one thing to consider..do I give him full use of the code? to maybe resell as his own? or perhaps he can sell it but as I created the code I get 25% or 40% of his sale? This system has to be weighted so the programmers get their moneys worth for the hard work they put into the design of good offensive or defensive code. Robert ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Possible changes in Monty beta 2.
speaking of Eliquents, ... Does eayone have a link to a sample of Eliquents 6.0? What's so better about it for gaming? Does it have a better voice for gaming or something? I'm so confused.Um, - Original Message - From: Raul a. Gallegos [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 6:47 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Possible changes in Monty beta 2. As I said before, I think keeping it with SAPI is a good idea. At work, we see similar SAPI issues when people want to use Eloquence for their speech, but they installed another version of Eloquence from another product. The same Eloquence but different versions cannot co-exist very easily on the same machine. For example, Window-Eyes ships with Eloquence version 5 and K1000 version 11 ships with Eloquence 6. So, when people have these 2 products, they need to choose if they want to use Eloquence 5 or 6. I've heard from some people who say they can get both versions to co-exist, but I do not know the way. I think that it's possible the problems people tend to have may be version conflicts more than anything. In any case, these situations really are the minority and the exception to the rule. -- Raul A. Gallegos .. http://www.asmodean.net Thomas Ward said the following on 8/9/2007 8:41 AM: Hi Bryan, Well, according to Che's figures so far his Sapi end user problems have been under 3% which is very good odds. So I am a little unsure if I want to change back to prerecorded speech with a possible 97% success rate looking at me. Having reviewed my figures out of around 200 downloads so far only about 5 have actually emailed in asking for help with broken Sapi installs. Since no one else emailed in about Sapi I have to conclude either no one else had issues, or they had issues and gave up without emailing me to get it solved. Either way my own experience put the Sapi problems in the same 3% margin Che's figures showed. it is true Sapi can be a pita at times, but according to field testing it doesn't happen as much as I once feared. It is just that those people who have the problem standout more, and makes the program look bad even though the problem is on their end and not anything to do with Montezuma's Revenge actual design, quality, and performence. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

So now I've switched gears and am starting work on another Atari remake, Adventure. Adventure is, for all intents and purposes, the first true Roleplaying game. It is I suppose the ancestor of the Legend of Zelda series and perhaps even Final Fantasy. In Adventure, you'll control a bold adventurer out to find treasure and recover a stolen chalice from the clutches of an evil dragon. But it won't be easy. The dragon has enlisted the aid of his two vicious brothers, whose fortresses stand between you and your ultimate goal. While I do intend to add quite a bit more to this remake than was found in the original, it still won't exactly be fancy. Right now I'm just attempting to figure out how to link portals to specific worlds, then the opponents and things like that. I've already written out a basic manual and i do have some sounds already selected, but if anyone on list has or knows where I can find some decent dragon sounds (mainly fire breathing), I'd appreciate it. If anyone wants me to send them the manual so they can see what I'm trying to do, I'll be happy to do so. It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go. J.D.

[Audyssey] AGM post from one of the developers
Hi all, Sander posted this on the AGM forum, thought you might like to read it: The AGM is developed by the Accessibility foundation. The project initiators and programmers have stopped with the activities for the foundation and continued the development on a voluntary base in order to get the prototype ready. We have our busy lives and other jobs or studies, so we cannot make any garantee about this project. For the Accessibility foundation the development has ended, however, if there is funding, there could be a continuation of this project. Developing software - especially for the blind - is a time and money consuming activity. Getting projects like this funded is hard. We do try to answer questions, but our time is rather limited. Please try to help each other, so we can only busy ourselves with the big issues. I know the expectations are rather high for this program, because it serves a big problem. Remember, no one paid for the AGM, so it is not fair to expect 100% fulltime support. You are not customers, you are users, as Richard said. The AGM at this time is an experimental beta and will show bugs. I hope we can fix them, with our limited time, but I cannot speak for all the team members. This does not mean this is it: we will see what we can do for this piece of software. Please invest some time and let us know what works well and report bugs in the bug reporting topic. I hope we can succeed making a version 2 or alpha. If you like the AGM, please let us know on this forum, it might help us to get funding for future releases! I hope this clarifies the situation a bit. - Original Message - From: Che [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 4:30 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] AGM concerns Yah Richard, I knew you weren't an integral part of the project anymore, but I didn't realize you guys were down to one person trying to keep up with all this. that is really too bad.

Hi, Yes, the original plan was (and still is, as far as I know) to use the outcome (results/feedback/etc) of this first prototype to write a follow-up funding proposal and continue work on AGM. As I said, the funding proposal(S!) for the first phase were never granted, but now with this prototype we hope we can be more convincing. With 'we' I refer to my old job, which still feels as we :) Luckily through my new position at the HKU I am able to continue to work with Accessibility. AGM for me personally means a great deal, ever since we first got the idea 4 or 5 years ago while working on Dark: A Garden Wander (audio game graduation project alongside Drive). And I'm proud it is currently at this stage and I will make sure development on the idea continues. Either by further developing what we have now, use the knowledge to build a new AGM that better suits what you need (maybe more of a level editor?) or maybe use the knowledge of AGM, and go to Mark Overmars (who we personally know) who developed Game Maker and apply the knowledge on that established piece of software. I fully agree that good documentation is neccessary. When I said 'you are users, not customers', in the back of my mind I knew this is only true if you can actually *use* the program. And for that you need good documentation :) Apologies for my language are in place. Just think of it that I'm from Amsterdam, we're pretty grown-up here and make a lot of love :) And thank you, Che, for more than once volunteering. It did not go unnoticed ;) Sincerely, Richard - Original Message - From: Che [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 11:30 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] AGM concerns Yah Richard, I knew you weren't an integral part of the project anymore, but I didn't realize you guys were down to one person trying to keep up with all this. that is really too bad. Maybe I am mistaken, but didn't you say something earlier on about trying to get a grant or something to continue development? Also, if future work is going to be done with AGM, or if it is going to be made open source, I will be glad to volunteer to help write a more clear and detailed manual. If the progress stops here though, there really isn't a need. Lastly, I'm not sure why you chose to use the language you did in a couple of your last posts, but please keep in mind there are minors on this list, and if their parents come across an email with that language in it, I'm sure we would be losing some more members.

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
Ok, you are using terms here that confuse me totally. I know nothing of host versus IP? I kind of understand dynamic versus static...but only barely. Can you fill in more on what you are talking about? is this free or do I have to put out some extra money? Robert ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
This would be interesting. A long time ago, there was a game called CRobots (pronounced C Robots) where you programmed a robot in a bastardized form of C and up to four robots competed in a 1000 X 1000 arena shooting one another until only one was left standing. One might base the proposed game on this engine, which is available open source I believe, since it was first published in a computer magazine way back in the early eighties I think. There may be more modern implementations of this concept; I stopped paying attention to it many years ago. Christopher Bartlett ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] AGM concerns
In the next version of AGM I hope you switch to using direct-x instead of flash. it would make games load faster and it's the standard for good pc games.

[Audyssey] AGM question, please refresh memory
Hi all, Somebody recently posted a solution for how to get an item to not make its default sound once the player picks it up. Could you fresh my memory on how you did that? I tried using a trigger but either that's not the key or I didn't set something properly. Any help would be appreciated. I need this fix for my Adventure game. It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go. J.D. Fortune, Pretty Vegas ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Possible changes in Monty beta 2.
I like the game the way it is. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: 09 August 2007 12:48 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Possible changes in Monty beta 2. Hi everyone, I'm considering making a few drastic changes in Montezuma's Revenge Beta 2, but before I go ahead with it I would like to let you folks on the list give me your own feedback and opinions on this. Since introducing a Sapi 5 driver to the game a number of end users have emailed me on and off lists with problems using the game with Sapi issues. As I am beginning to find out Sapi works for most of the game's users, but for those unfortunate enough to have broken Sapi 5 installs it becomes a support nightmare to solve. Sapi can be broken in so many ways it is an unstable technology to hitch my waggen to. My thought if this issue is serious enough for most gamers I could revert back to the way it was earlier shipping the game with it's own built in speech using recorded samples of Scansoft Karen, Daniel, Neospeech Kate, whatever. Are most of you satisfied with the current Sapi 5 support, or would you prefer the game go back to using prerecorded speech? Thanks. ___ Gamers mailing list ..
