Re: [Audyssey] STFC 2.
I'd probably choose the e. maily because only 3 actual movies have come out with it, a few more books with it, and a couple sighted games. I was hoping for actual storylines where you do explore planets and such achieving sertain objectives as well as battle. Obviously I don't expect something like elete force ii although that would be nice. I also don't expect a game with combat, exploration, etc and solving problems as well as puzzles which would again be nice but really I have no idea what goes into these things, and its probably to much to ask at this point. I'd at some point in the future like a ds9 style game or something where you wer odo or sisco or someone on the station doing things, not sure what.

[Audyssey] STFC 2.
Hi everyone, Over the passed couple of months I have been tinkering with STFC 2.0 off and on. Unlike STFC 1.x STFC 2.0 is going to be a real time action game. Instead of commanding several bases, ships, etc you will be in charge of commanding a single ship throughout the various missions. However, that is about as far as I have got with the basic idea for the game. One question remains which ship to use. I personally want to stick with something Next Generation era and that pretty much narrows it down to Enterprise NCC-1701-D or Enterprise NCC-1701-E. Though, thje U.S.S. Defiant is also an option here. Each ship is good, but all depends on if you want a television series type plot or a movie plot. Each ship is unique. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, as seen on Star Trek Next Generation, is a Galaxy-Class cruiser. Armorment includes 250 photon torpedoes, 9 deep space probes, standard type-x phasers, and shields were rated at 2026 gigawatts. Maximum achieved speed on STNG was warp 9.6 for 12 minutes. Not bad, but after the movies came out the Enterprise E has really made the television series sound sort of lame. Enterprise NCC-1701-E, as seen in Star Trek 8, 9, and 10 has far more fire power than its earlier name sake. The latest Enterprise comes armed with 325 photon torpedoes, 175 quantum torpedoes, type-x phasers, ablative hull armor, and shield strength is 5056 gigawatts. Maximum rated speed is warp 9.7. As you can see the newer Enterprise has far more armor, firepower, speed, etc. The U.S.S. Defiant, seen on Star Trek Deep Space 9, certainly has its own interesting abilities and features. It comes armed with a cloaking device, 60 quantom torpedoes, 30 photon torpedoes, type-u phaser cannon, ablative hull armor, and shields are rated as 2026 gigawatts. Maximum known speed is warp 9.985. Definitly not bad ship specs if you ask me. I guess what I am asking if you had to pick one which ship would you choose. If you choose Defiant chances are I would make most of the missions take place during the dominion war so you can slug it out with Jem'hadar fighters, Breen Battle Cruisers, and Cardassian Cruisers. If you pick Enterprise D I would make the missions play out more-or-less like the tv series with each mission have its own bad guys, mission orders, etc. With the Enterprise E we could go either way. The Enterprise E was constructed just before the Dominion War, served through the Dominion War, and seen action after the Dominion War.

Hi william. glad your trying the game. Bryan peterson also did a podcast about Sryth on blind cool tech. I'm afraid I don't have the link, but you could try searching for Sryth the age of Igtheon on the blind cooltech site at http://www.blindcooltech.com/ , Bryan explains a lot of the mechanics and plays through a brief start up adventure, which might be helpful for you to know if you want to find out more abou the game. sinse the in game documentation is well and truly out of date, You could also try the official Sryth wiki at http://sryth.pbwiki.com/ hmmm, seeing your post reminds me of my old project to create a new player's guide for Sryth, maybe I ought to actually get the thing finished.

Re: [Audyssey] Self-Voicing Nethack
Hi Ron. well, I personally don't mind a slow game, but by the time I'd examined the screen with Hal's vf, worked out where I was and what's going on, often with reference to the docs to remember what the blasted symbols mean, then looked at the command list (and possibly the players handbook), to try and decide what I was doing, a long time had passed. i'll frankly admit this got on my nerves. It's a shame someone couldn't make a basic nethack esque game, possibly even a nethack modification, where all you do is wander around the dungeon, fighting monsters, picking up weapons which are auto equipped, and healing yourself at specific locations, just so that we could practice screen readers and aski graphics. I've seen a few around the net, but unfortunately their not as modifyable as nethack, and are usually doss games so run very badly in windows xp which is a shame. Beware the Grue!

I have to decide if I do, 1. move the Quidditch level which has only you chasing after the snitch and being attacked by two bludgers, to the first level as is, which would be very easy, or 2.

[Audyssey] Sarah and the Building of Un-Scientific Things
Games We'd like to play Phil worried about the current lawsuit, thinks about changing a few words in his game... Sarah and the Building of Un-Scientific Things. by Phil Vlasak There is an intruder in the most famous Un-Scientific Building in the land. Late in the evening of July seven, a young female was spotted entering the Building of Un-Scientific Things. "She looked to be about eighteen." said a staff member of the Humor Shop. "She shopped in our store and purchased one of our most popular items, a Hat that turns you into a monster. Then she had a long discussion with one of the owners, and I overheard the two of them talking about a map. The next thing I knew she was gone" Since it is mid summer, there aren't any young people in the building, but I think she heard so much about the Strange Building, she probably wanted to explore it. The Night Watchman of the Building, says he may have heard an intruder in the corridors, and tells his dog to be on the lookout. The Night Watchman says he is biding his time until the Owner of the building is finished what he is doing. If I find her in the Building, once I get my hands on her, I will tie her up by her arms in my office. Instead of reading about the intruder in a story, why don't we actually follow her around the Building? This is what you can do in the new game from, PCS, Sarah and the Building of Un-Scientific Things. In the game you are Sarah, an American teenager, visiting the building for the first time. She discovers that a mischievous floating creature picked the pockets of the young people leaving for the summer holidays and sprinkled money and Strange items throughout the Building. Somewhere in the Building, she will be able to find and use Unusual feathers that increase her un-scientific powers, a talking connection to a helpful creature, a horn that improves her hearing, flying chairs, a Time machine , and a very expensive disguise. With all that and more, Sarah won't have to go through the halls of the Building unprotected. The Building of Un-Scientific Things game transports Sarah and you into a world of non-science filled with secret doors and hidden rooms. she explores the Building searching for strange items, fighting creepy creatures knowing at any minute, disaster may strike. So, take a trip with Sarah to the Building of Un-Scientific Things and pay a visit to the dead person's party in the cellar, pop into the kitchen for a chat with the sometimes helpful slave; slide down a rope for a spot of spelunking in the Cave of the Unknown monster, try to hide from the cranky Night Watchman, pick up plenty of coins to buy candy at the candy store, , spend some time in the library learning new un-scientific wonders, and finally, hold on tight as you fly on a chair trying to catch the silver bird. We make games that empty out your wallet. --- 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] story line for a game
Hi Nicol, Actually, that is called an MRI scan not an RMI scan. It stands for magnetic resonance imaging. I've been in them myself, and they aren't that bad. There is nothing to get scared or freaked out over. As for a game blowing them up I couldn't do that. The reason I am alive today is all thanks to an MRI machine and the skilled techs who used it. They managed to discover that there was a blockage in my brain which would have killed me or left me brain dead if they hadn't found it, and got rid of it in time. I was left blinded, but better blind than dead.

is this a free game? - original message - Subject:Re: [Audyssey] Self-Voicing Nethack From: "Michael Feir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 15/04/2008 6:57 pm Actually, all you have to change is the line which tells it to use ibm graphics. Just make that line say "noibmgraphics" and it will use all ASCII characters. Nethack is completely playable with Jaws for windows. Especially now that the autopilot is included in the game, you don't have to worry about not being able to find the staircases again once you've discovered them. That used to be a big problem since you couldn't get row and column information for locations. With the autopilot, you can simply tell your character to go to the greaterthan sign or to any plus-signs which are closed doors to explore levels. Hope that helps you get started.

[Audyssey] super deekout
HI all Let me rephrase the question I asked earlier on. I just wanted to know if super deekout is a game you can finish/beat or is it non ending with unlimited levels that gets harder and harder until it becomes impossible? Can anyone remember light cars from lighttechinteractive? It has unlimited levels and it gets harder and harder until the cars comes at you with such a speed that its impossible to play, its a game you can't beat. I just wanted to know if super deekout is also unbeatable. something in the manual gave me a slight indication that the game might be unbeatable. it says: complete as many levels as possible. I tried to view the deekout scores but I get an error. I've tried contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED] but I haven't got a response yet. Dark said dan offers limited e-mail support until he closes his site down in june. here is the steps I took to try and view scores. 1. I hit www.danzgames.com. 2. I clicked on the link top super deekout scores. 3. I clicked on easy. and this is the error I'm getting Warning: mysql_connect() [ function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'danzgame'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/danzgame/public_html/view_scores.php on line 15 Unable to connect can anyone please advise me what this error means and if its possible in another way to view scores? I've tried sending my score but the game told me my score is too low. Next I want to revisit the statement I made earlier about the oil slicks. the cheet which I mentioned only happened to me once. It didn't happened again. If I press s at the start of level1 or anywhere else if I haven't collected slicks by means of my experiment, I hear a buzzing sound letting me know there is no slicks to use. I hear the same buzzing sound if I press i and there's nothing in my inventory. I'm not sure what went wrong some time ago, why I only had that cheet with that one game but I'm sure its a bug because it never happened to me again that if I press s and I haven't put together an experiment and receive slicks. that I have slicks. so don't worry, at least I know now its not a cheet, only a minor bug. next I have a favour to ask the list especially josh who had such a nice high score,. could you please share your stats with me? Please if its not p.t please could josh or anyone please send his stats file to me off-list as the list can't take attachments. I just want to compare my stats with other gamers. In this way I can determine if super deekout is also unbeatable like lightcars. If the stats says: congratulations you beat the game! then I know its beatable. If anyone can send me their entire stats file its so much appreciated'. --- 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.

[Audyssey] mud splat
HI thom thanks for forwarding my message to the developers of mud splat. I've lost your e-mail address. I just need to give one last bit of feedback which I forgot. when inside the mud splat game, inside the help system, the woman says that you can manually save a game such as in the case of where you have collected many lives. she says its done by pausing the game with escape and choose the save option. this doesn't work like the woman explained. If I pause the game and I choose the save option and I load that game later on, it has exactly the same effect as a game automatically saved after each session. it doesn't put me on the spot where I've saved it, it puts me at the beginning of that level. so for instance if I'm in the toy story on level3 and I've defeated 3 monsters and I have collected a life and unlimited water, and I pause the game and save it and later on come back and load it, I'm put back at the start of the toy story level 3, not exactly where I stopped. Next, I just want to tell you all how the monsters sounds to me. I can imagine some of the monsters' shapes by listening to their sounds. the big monsters I can't really depict a shape. I would say they all have the shape of dinosaurs. in the middle class monsters, there is a monster that makes a funny sound like its clucking its tongue. I would depict that monster as a jelly, green monster in the shape of a jelly fish. Lets call it a jalatinous blob. now for the small monsters, here comes some interesting shapes. there is one monster who makes the sound of a big frog so this little monster has the shape of a frog. then there is a monster who sounds to me like an elve so it has the shape of an elve. then there is a monster who sounds like a lion cub so it has the shape of a lion cub. then there is a monster which you will encounter from the toy story onwards, it sounds like a little toy car. this we can call a little syburg. because it makes this car sound, its impossible for it to be a monster like the others with skin. so this monster is a syburg, its paws looks like wheels. oh yes, there is one big monster I forgot to mention. If you listen carefully you will notice its groaning sounds like a dor being opened, so I would say this monster looks like a mutant human. then back to the small monsters. one other type of small monster I would call a small mutant human, almost like an elve but just more thwarts on his skin. Actually there is 3 of them which we can call small mutant humans. The bosses I would say all have the shape of dinosaurs. And here's an idea for a new game if the developers' of mud splat considers new games. Story line: The city has been invaded by huge, medium and small fire breathing dragons. The case is hopeless. All the fire fighters have been killed by large tongues of fire. You realize that something needs to be done. Putting on special firefighter clothes, you step out into the city only armed with a water host and you have to defeat these dragons and save the city. These dragons have also stoled 5 sonicses which you must recover by defeating them. So in this game you have to defeat, not monsters but dragons, small, medium and large dragons. Lets call it fire splat. --- 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] Self-Voicing Nethack
Hi william. yes, character creation is a pest, one advantage of being an adventurer's guild subscriber is that things are a bit freeer in this line. I suggest you just create a character, start out and see where you get. I'd advise starting out with high high scores in luck, nvr and the combat attributes, sinse these are fixed, but also make certain that you don't end up with any minus modifyers to skills sinse they can really effect how much xp you use later on. Luckily, once you've got a character, your fixed. I've had the same one now for almost three years (though I haven't been spending any quality time with her lately, which is a shame sinse I think the game'shad lots of updates). Just have a poke around and see what you find, afterall you can always restart with a different character if you don't like your beginning one, Ekitrina was actually my third attempt at character creation, and the one which came off the best. Hth, I'd deffinately advise you persevere with Sryth, sinse it's a really rewarding game. Beware the Grue! Dark. - Original Message - From: "William L.

I won't garentee nothing, but here's how I do it and I get some points most of the time. Sorry if there's any difficult to read stuff, not at my best now.

Yeah that's what I do but I wait till the ship goes all the way to the other side.

Re: [Audyssey] Self-Voicing Nethack
Actually, all you have to change is the line which tells it to use ibm graphics. Just make that line say "noibmgraphics" and it will use all ASCII characters. Nethack is completely playable with Jaws for windows. Especially now that the autopilot is included in the game, you don't have to worry about not being able to find the staircases again once you've discovered them. That used to be a big problem since you couldn't get row and column information for locations. With the autopilot, you can simply tell your character to go to the greaterthan sign or to any plus-signs which are closed doors to explore levels. Hope that helps you get started.

Hi What I've done and since it's been awhile from hacking is removed all the number signs [#] from the lines in the defaults.nh file. This does use asky symbols.
