[Audyssey] Muelsfell inquiry
Hi list, For those of you who are playing Muelsfell, I want to know how I can build my Magus up faster. I am currently at level 1 and have 50 motivation. My workshop is at level 3, and I will probably be moving it to level 4 pretty soon. Also, I only have the ability to fight two enemies in my location. the Dust rats and those other cowardice wimps . smile one is at level 1 and the other is at level 2, respectively. Are there other areas to explore at this level, or do I still need to work on building up my Magus and workshop? Is there some way that I can earn or find more money and resources other than fighting enemies? Also, what are the benefits of becoming a Premium member? I didn't find any info about it on the site. I'll look again.

Re: [Audyssey] golf questions
Hi Josh, It looks like I accidently left the default voice set to the third voice in the golf course maker program. But if you press the f12 key and set it to the voice that you want, it will use that voice until you change it again. Someone made the golf indicator sound file with the beeps because it helps some with some hearing difficulties. It was passed around and finally brought to my attention, so I just added it to the game so that there is a choice. Depending on your reaction time, hitting the key as soon as you hear the first beep, you will get full power out of your club.

[Audyssey] FWD: Tek Talk Presents Jim Kitchen His Accessible Games Monday
5-5-08 FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION TekTalk Presents Jim Kitchen and His Accessible Games Monday, May 5, 2008 The Accessible News Wire April 23, 2008, Indianapolis, Indiana USA Determining the importance of computer games in education has resulted in significant research throughout the world. While opinions of researchers vary, it is generally believed that computer games are the most frequently used interactive media for children and young adults and that computer games are already a phenomenon of greater cultural importance to all ages than movies, or perhaps even sports.. The gaming industry is believed by many to be the catalyst that is driving the propagation of new and improved operating systems since statistics substantiate that more time is spent on video and computer games than on the more 'serious' types of computer use. Although there is an abundance of computer games for the sighted population, accessible games for blind computer users have been in very short supply. Our next Accessible World TekTalk guest, Jim Kitchen, however, has addressed the problem by creating and distributing free of charge a variety of totally accessible self-voicing games. During his presentation, you will learn why he became interested in writing computer games, how he acquired the necessary programming knowledge, and hear a demonstration of some of his games.

[Audyssey] Battle Racing approaches
Steady and I have been testing some new ideas for a battle mode in Rail Racer where you can shoot weapons at your opponents, drop mines, fire missiles, raise shields and the like. Kind of a dogfight on the track. I am convinced this can be done properly now, and I'm looking from feedback from fellow racers on the idea. Here is what I have roughly outlined so far along with Steady's help: Once you go into battle mode with the caps lock key, the keys on the left side of the keyboard change function. If you are behind an opponent you can fire a phaser at them with the spacebar, but you must match their lean angle first. Your Rail Racer battle system will indicate to you if your opponent is right or left of you, as well as when you are in range both in distance and angle. Right now, I have it set up so you can only fire at a player ahead of you, but it could be designed so the racer has rear mounted phasers as well. If you are being pursued, you can drop a mine which will be locked to your current target player only, so other players don't have to worry about jumping over it. To clear the mine, you must achieve an altitude of at least 10 feet when you pass over it. Currently this is all I have programmed into the system as a test, but there are many more possibilities. We could have shields that deflect phaser fire at a cost to speed, or perhaps you only have a certain amount of shield energy to use. Also, we could have stinger missiles that can be locked onto your target, with accompanying chaff to throw the stinger off if it is released in time. Also, I would like to include power ups in battle mode, roughly what I am considering now is a energy trap that lies on the rail, with a power up hovering above it. You must jump the trap, but to get the power up you would have to be a certain altitude above it as you fly over, say 20 to 30 feet when you are at the point of the power up. Another possibility here is the ability to select your power up based on your lean. For example, if you are leaned 90 degrees to the right when you hit the power up point, you may get extra shield energy. Or if at zero degrees you may pick up another nitro, etc. We may have to limit the number of players on any given track, as battling with 10 people at once will get quite chaotic, but further testing will reveal if this is an issue or not. Also, due to the complexity of the battle system, the track designs will have to be quite different overall. Based on testing with steady with the limited battle system we can already tell that having lots of curves is going to make things very hard to balance. To this end I am going to reprogram the track editor into a new variant that will allow battle tracks to be created. These tracks would include inclines to the rail so you could be going up and down hill with respective changes to acceleration and top speed. Of course there would still be curves, but they would need to be strategically placed and designed. Also, the power up traps would be included along with anything else Team Rail Racer comes up with. If you have an interest in playing Rail Racer, You are a member of Team Rail Racer by the way, grin. I want to get the feedback of players to these ideas, so I can build the best and most fun system possible for all of us. Racing online has been a blast, and I think this will definately take it to the next level, pulling in people that aren't necessarily into the racing thing. So here are a few questions I'd like input on: 1. Should there be a points system to determine the overall winner of a contest? For example once you get hit 10 times, you are out of the competition with the last person standing being the victor. Alternatively, damage could be taken with each absorbed shot, until your racer is destroyed, losing speed along the way. Any other ideas here welcome. 2. What do you think about the power ups idea, is there a better way to do it than what I have outlined? 3. What kind of weapons would you like to see in the game, additionally what kinds of defensive systems, shields etc? 4. Should some sort of bonus be given for overtaking an opponent? We want to keep the aspect of speed intact here as well as the fighting. Feel free to write back to the list or to me directly at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will be using beta testers for battle racer from a list of players that own the game I have already selected, and I may give a wider call out for testers when the project is a little further down the rail. Thanks for reading all this, and I look forward to your input, I think this is going to be another really cool game for us all to take part in. Again thanks to Steady for his time and ideas with this, besides being probably our best racer, he is quite a guy.

[Audyssey] Important message from Matthew Actkinson.
Original message from Matthew Tylee Atkinson: This is an urgent request for your help, for feedback on the Level Description Language. I realise it is short-notice but I would appreciate it if you could at least read this email and consider if you wish to give feedback. As we're asking about how LDL suits the way you think about navigation and for constructive feedback on how it may be improved, we are keen to get feedback from those of you that didn't get as far as you would have liked with, or even gave up on, LDL. This is all valuable to our research, though we do ask that you give it as good a go as you can, of course -- I'm on hand to help with any problems. Thanks very much to those that have already or have stated an intention to very soon. As you may be aware, the past few years have been very difficult for me and, as a consequence, the AGRIP project. My entire life has been turned upside down due to a near-fatal road accident that has a continuing and profound effect on me and my intended career path. Through this time I have been trying to pick up the pieces of my Ph.D., which started off very promisingly but was interrupted for 16 months, so I'm basically back to square 1. I realise that the AGRIP project has suffered due to this and it is a great regret, but we are now finally at the stage we wanted to be -- offering the game, modding and early stages of map-making to blind gamers and putting more power into the community's hands to improve the whole thing in future. The techniques used by the Level Description Language could, if shown to be successful, be applied to any other 3D game, whether it's accessible now or not. Your feedback is the only thing that I can use to justify the time spent doing this and I desperately need it to be able to continue this line of work. For most of this year I have been chasing very pressurised funding bids to get the money I need to continue my research. Now I need to ask you for some feedback on a short timescale, because coding LDL took longer than I had hoped, mainly due to the aforementioned bids. However, if you can possibly fill in the survey at http://www.agrip.org.uk/ldl/survey/ on or by the 4th of May I may be able to get the paper I'm working on accepted and thus justify the expense of my research time on this project. We have never and will never ask for anything but community support and feedback in return for our work on AGRIP. Again I realise it has gone painfully slowly over the past year or two -- that's why I really need your help to get things going again. It will help the project and it will enable me to continue in the line of research I was working before the accident. So I am asking you to, please, (1) try LDL and constructively criticise it and, really importantly, report bugs so I can fix them and (2) fill in the survey by or on the 4th of May (even if it's last minute -- the deadline is the day after but I need some hours to collate results!) Thanks for your time and I hope that you will enjoy LDL, best regards, -- Matthew Tylee Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- 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] AudioQuake MacOS X announcement.
Original message from Matthew Tylee Atkinson: Some of you have seen most of this before, but as it works better now I thought I would post it again, to both lists. The MacOS X (Leopard, Intel) version is now available in a workable form. It does have some rough edges but overall it should be playable and allow you to test LDL. The program to download data files (like the shareware game) is not available on OS X by default so I have included it with this release. You do not need to run MacPorts to get it, as previously stated. You can get the MacOS version from our downloads page. When you've saved it, you'll need to open a terminal and issues the following commands, to make the installer run-able and then run it. chmod +x AudioQuake-0.3.0.2_mac-x86.run ./AudioQuake-0.3.0.2_mac-x86.run You should be able to follow the instructions and have it all work fine. Once you've done that, you can run AQ by opening a terminal and running the following commands. cd ~/.zquake ./start.pl best regards, P.S. I will probably make a MacOS X (Leopard, PowerPC) version available at some point, as I own one :-). -- Matthew Tylee Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- 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] Battle Racing approaches
Hi che, that's sounding like a great! my first question though relates to the space bar being used to fire phasers. I love the idea of jumping and shooting at once, so as the space bar is jump by default, this might not be a great key to use. I'd suggest left ctrl or left alt to fire. As for weapon ideas, well shields, phasers and mines sound pretty good, as does the idea of lean for targiting. How about making the phaser lean angle specific, ie, you have to be at around the same angle of lean or altitude to your opponent to shoot them (either ahead or behind), but make the stingers lock onto the targit automatically, and thus likely to hit wherever they are, though for an interesting twist you could also allow the mines the ability to act as stinger decoys, so that the missile will go for a dropped mine rather than the above racer (making an alternative to jumping mines if your in a hurry). then, have the shield as a manually activated force field with limited energy, but no reduction in speed when using it. so, if your on a curve and thus likely to be phasered, and cannot lean aside to avoid it as on a streight, or if your opponent shoots a stinger at you and you have no mines, you use a shield to deflect the fire. for damage, i like the damage reducing speed idea best, which would also give the option of buying armour for your racer in the shop. In power up terms, I like the energy traps and jumping idea. Even though they make me curse a lot, I do enjoyb the chance to fly through the air on my racer's jets, lol! but I'd suggest random power-up pickups, rather than a system of lean or something else. Perhaps allow the ability to buy power ups in the shop or install additional ports for stingers or more shield or phaser energy charges, but have the actual stingers, phasers and shields only available during the race at random, that way the player's skill and vercetility is really tested! alternatively, you could have different race types, battle race with random power-up pickups on the tracks, and the goal being first past the finish line, and head to head where you begin with a certain amount of amo and the last racer standing wins! I deffinately think this would add a lot of elements to the game, and I'll be looking forward to it. One question though, would this be an upgrade to the existing rail racer game, perhaps with an additional charge? or would it be a completely separate game, ie, rail racer two. I personally would prefer the first option sinse I like the idea of having battle racing or streight racing as separate ways of urning money and alternatives in the same game sinse it lets things be more flexible. well there's my ramble, hope some of it was useful!

Right now, I have it set up so you can only fire at a player ahead of you, but it could be designed so the racer has rear mounted phasers as well. If you are being pursued, you can drop a mine which will be locked to your current target player only, so other players don't have to worry about jumping over it. To clear the mine, you must achieve an altitude of at least 10 feet when you pass over it. Currently this is all I have programmed into the system as a test, but there are many more possibilities. We could have shields that deflect phaser fire at a cost to speed, or perhaps you only have a certain amount of shield energy to use. Also, we could have stinger missiles that can be locked onto your target, with accompanying chaff to throw the stinger off if it is released in time. Also, I would like to include power ups in battle mode, roughly what I am considering now is a energy trap that lies on the rail, with a power up hovering above it. You must jump the trap, but to get the power up you would have to be a certain altitude above it as you fly over, say 20 to 30 feet when you are at the point of the power up. Another
[Audyssey] Smugglers and hal 9
Well, I've just tried smugglers 3 for the first time after installing Hal version 9. It's been a few weeks sinse I last tried it anyway, and sinse Hal 9 involved some virtual focus tweeks I thought I'd see what happened. well, Dolphin said that Hal 9 was supposed to be more consistant over different screens and yee gods, that seems to be the case in smugglers 3, just for the heck of it, i played through the tutorial, sinse the Vf was able to stay on the tutorial windows successfully and not overlap stuff. i can't wait to see how it handles the crew recruitement screen, sinse before I always had to do that by counting down the various selection buttons for the different crew types, which was a miner pest. The galaxy map stil has the miner problem of trade prises slightly disconnected to their systems, but using the read list box feature and F6 to read the currently selected item, it's fairly easy to get the prices, even if I have to click on whichever system I want and then read the list box, rather than just relying on the prices listed under each system. I'm also trying out smugglers 2 at the moment. It looks fairly useable, and has some interesting game variations, particularly that there are only two factions and the syndicate is underground, but the fact that the trade prices are in a separate index to the travel screen,slows and have to be checked planet by planet slows things up slightly. There is an interesting thing though about selecting or creating different game modules with a new add on which sounds intreaguing. if anyone else has tried smugglers 2, let me know what you thought of it.

[Audyssey] USA Games News 5/1/2008.
USA Games News May 1, 2008 Introduction Greetings gamers, I know it has been a long time since USA Games has said anything official about our products and services, but I personally felt that a news release was well over do. We have a lot going on, and USA Games for the most part has spent the last three months in a period of research and testing. We have experimented with a wide range of technologies, looked into several operating systems, researched several devices, and now have concluded our research. All of it was time well spent. One of the major points of our research was the feasibility and the practicality of creating accessible games for Windows, Mac, Linux, and cell phones. While our researched results showed it was certainly possible using Java, Python, etc it quickly became apparent that creating accessible games on non-Windows platforms and devices is not very practical. The game development tools are less advanced on Mac and Linux, and we would not be able to deliver a game such as USA Raceway to those platforms without dropping some of its selling features such as support for force feedback racing wheels, virtual 3D audio support, built in MS Sapi 5 support, etc. We felt the loss of these features were simply an unacceptable compromise. Besides the technical aspects of targeting non-Windows platforms and devices we needed to look at the non-Windows user base. What we found in looking at the Orca mailing list for Linux and the Mac Visionaries list is that there are very few exclusive Mac or Linux users out there. The majority of Mac and Linux users out there still use Windows as well as Mac OS or Linux. I myself choose to use Linux for my home business needs using apps like Open Office rather than MS Office, Evolution for appointments rather than MS Outlook, etc. When I want to play games, manage family photos, edit sound effects, watch dvds I turn to my laptop which is running Vista. Bottom line a lot of blind users out there are doing the same kind of thing. Which forced me to conclude that from a strictly financial view there isn't much money to be gained by targeting Mac and Linux directly since most users still have access to Windows for this or that application anyway. Yeah, I can understand the Mac and Linux users desire to have Mac and Linux games, but it isn't currently financially or technically appealing to a game company such as USA Games at this time. During our research we did examine some cell phones owned by friends and family members doing some initial testing for accessible games. The main problem we discovered was memory. The cell phones we looked at didn't have large amounts of memory so whatever we made would have to take that into consideration. Since we are mainly going to break into the First Person Action games with our Genesis 3D engine we want to be able to have realistic virtual 3D audio support. With the Windows DirectSound and XAudio2 libraries that isn't a problem. The cell phones we looked at didn't have anything remotely like that which wouldn't do for our current game projects. Then, the cell phones we looked at had very small buttons. Different button layouts aside the cell phones I personally examined had extremely small buttons and touch pads. I'm not an expert on cell phones, but I felt from an accessibility standpoint if cell phones buttons are going to be so small and difficult to feel there is a lot of room for error and difficulty in playing games with complex button layouts. Perhaps there are other cell phones with better buttons, but the ones I examined I didn't like. In conclusion I felt simple games like Monopoly, Checkers, Text Adventures, card games, and so on would work fine on a cell phone. If the game was going to be a USA Raceway, Shades of Doom, or something like that the cell phone is impractical for that kind of game. Since USA games doesn't have an interest in writing text adventures, card games, and board games we won't be targeting cell phones at this time. Finally, one of the major reasons we started our research in the first place is back in November 2007 Microsoft announced they were dropping development support for Managed DirectX 9.0C. As all of our games are based on that very technology we needed to know what alternatives were out there for us. We also wanted to know, do to major changes in DirectX, where the mainstream gaming market is heading. While we currently are focused on delivering support for Windows XP and Vista we would also like to think a little ahead and make sure we can support the next Windows operating system, code named Windows 7, when it is released sometime in 2010. Seeing what changes are currently going on in DirectX it is pretty clear that a C++ developer supporting XAudio2 etc will stand a better chance of long term support than anything else out there at this time. Another reason we were doing this research is when James North

Also, we could have stinger missiles that can be locked onto your target, with accompanying chaff to throw the stinger off if it is released in time. Also, I would like to include power ups in battle mode, roughly what I am considering now is a energy trap that lies on the rail, with a power up hovering above it. You must jump the trap, but to get the power up you would have to be a certain altitude above it as you fly over, say 20 to 30 feet when you are at the point of the power up. Another possibility here is the ability to select your power up based on your lean. For example, if you are leaned 90 degrees to the right when you hit the power up point, you may get extra shield energy. Or if at zero degrees you may pick up another nitro, etc. We may have to limit the number of players on any given track, as battling with 10 people at once will get quite chaotic, but further testing will reveal if this is an issue or not. Also, due to the complexity of the battle system, the track designs will have to be quite different overall. Based on testing with steady with the limited battle system we can already tell that having lots of curves is going to make things very hard to balance. To this end I am going to reprogram the track editor into a new variant that will allow battle tracks to be created. These tracks would include inclines to the rail so you could be going up and down hill with respective changes to acceleration and top speed. Of course there would still be curves, but they would need to be strategically placed and designed. Also, the power up traps would be included along with anything else Team Rail Racer comes up with. If you have an interest in playing Rail Racer, You are a member of Team Rail Racer by the way, grin. I want to get the feedback of players to these ideas, so I can build the best and most fun system possible for all of us. Racing online has been a blast, and I think this will definately take it to the next level, pulling in people that aren't necessarily into the racing thing. So here are a few questions I'd like input on: 1. Should there be a points system to determine the overall winner of a contest? For example once you get hit 10 times, you are out of the competition with the last person standing being the victor. Alternatively, damage could be taken with each absorbed shot, until your racer is destroyed, losing speed along the way. Any other ideas here welcome. 2. What do you think about the power ups idea, is there a better way to do it than what I have outlined? 3. What kind of weapons would you like to see in the game, additionally what kinds of defensive systems, shields etc? 4. Should some sort of bonus be given for overtaking an opponent? We want to keep the aspect of speed intact here as well as the fighting.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Wars MUDs
LOTJ does not base itself on things such as the battle After Yavin and all of that good stuff. Instead, it has a moving timeline which starts out with maybe one or two clans and the Old Republic era. Then it moves to the second era, which will probably be empire vs. Rebellion, then it moves to the next era which will depends on who will win those conflicts. An era lasts six months, but the timeline lasts for about a year to a year and a half if not a little longer. After all the cards have been played, there is a player wipe and the fun starts all over again. It's a unique way of doing things and helps for organizations not to be stagnant. I used to imm for LOTJ for about three and a half years and played there for longer. I just started playing again a few weeks back and a *lot* of things have changed a great deal. I hope I've helped some and have encouraged you to give it a try.

Re: [Audyssey] Mud in your ear
Hi Chee: It depends on what you are looking for in terms of mudding. For hack and slash goodness along with competitive and fun atmosphere where you can customize a large quantity of things, check out Project Bob. Projectbob.game-host.org port 4000. Discworld was the first mud that I ever played. Discworld.atuin.net port 23. For a more roleplay oriented environment try lensmoor. It is medieval fantasy with classes that you can customize and also has one of the best crafting systems that I have ever seen. lensmoor.org port 3500. I can go on and on, I'm sure. I liked Miriani as well although I haven't been around very much...not one word out of you, Valiant!! I mean it! *shakes fist* I find it difficult to get in to alter eon and it's probably because I really hate old style diku muds. Maybe I'm just a bit of a mud snob...perish the thought. Anyhow, I hope that this has helped. Feel free to check out the mud connecter at www.mudconnect.com I have always believed that it isn't necessarily about accesibility and what the best mud is for blind folks as much as it is what muds are you truly going to enjoy? The muds that tend to burn my cookies are those with ascii maps and no ability to turn them off. If I can't navigate to the land of Kill-em-dead without assistance because there is a graphical representation of the wilderness and then I drown in a river that I had no idea was even there, I'll likely not play it. I hope that I have helped somewhat. also, great to hear that VipMud is out...I've been out of pocket for the past couple of weeks so I have yet to figure out how to get my hot little hands on it, but I'm sure I'll get to that sooner or later. Take care, all. And Chee, welcome to the world of mudding!

Re: [Audyssey] Battle Racing approaches
Hi, I really like this idea. I have always loved the shoot em up style of gaming. This idea reminds me of the 3do game titled crash and burn. in this single player game, you controlled one car over various tracks. There was 5 other drivers and drone vehicles to get in the way. Depending on the place you finish, you would earn money to upgrade your vehicle. The upgrades included armor, ballistic or energy weapons, missiles, and mines. Every lap, you could pull into a specific place , which would repair damage to your car, and also replenish some weapon supplies. The armor was such that some could minimize ballistic damage, but not energy weapons, and vice versa. The missiles and mines ranged also in how lethal they were. More missiles and mines usually meant less impact force. It was possible to damage the other cars and drones and to put them out of operation, which gave bonus points after each race. It was a really great game. In fact, to read more about it you can go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_'n_Burn There, you might also want to check out the link of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Vehicular_combat_games To see if it gives you any ideas or what has already been driven to death.

Re: [Audyssey] Battle Racing approaches
Reminds me personally of that old NES game R.C. Pro A Racing. Granted the first one was fairly simple in that all you really got were missiles and some speed boosters, oh and a new car if you managed to collect all the letters and spell Nintendo. But I believe the sequel was more involved and you could actually earn oney and buy new upgrades and weapons.

[Audyssey] RS Games Update 4/1/08
Hi, Happy first of May y'all! Due to standardized testing, I've been homework free, mostly. RSG, me, have been very busy updating things. One thing, that some people enjoyed modifing, How many times can you press space bar in a minute, which I released in the dev center. I also modified it how many times can you type (word excluded) in a minute, which I passed along to contacts who requested it. As you know, we've been quite busy with out 3D game. One issue I am facing is three files with different code (regular game, side scroller and 3D). To make them all one will require some time. I have continued to add more guards, etc. Basically, your walking around, and going into houses where people tell you clues. In further versions, I may include trace evidence, and all kinds of things, but for now it's people. I also limited it to 45 steps possible X and Z to prevent your wandering around. I may include teleportation to X 0 Z 0, and possibly a cheats.txt file for when you press the right button, you will see a menu of preset locations. I will continue to add more guards and the boss, but more of the advanced features are in the future betas. General Game While spending time on the 3D, last night I spent about an hour fixing bugs (score posting), and adding a background color changer. Some people have little vision, or a visual impairment not leaving them completely blind. Different colors with this kind of thing, I added a button on the form with preset colors, and then when it runs out, goes back the the original color and so on. I also wanted to make the original game a bit more difficult. I added an opposite feature. Every 15 times you hit, the computer will choose randomly for you to continue in original, or go to opposite (Left sound playing, hit right). For more difficulty, if/when I add difficulty levels (Easy and Normal), Normal would be every time (you could constantly be switching!) Some ?'s for the players. 1. What time for the guards would be of your preference 2. What would you like to see in the future beta's 3. When your shot, I'd hate to have you re-beat the whole game again, so based on your health before, I may subtract it, and when it hit zero, die. A sound in need... I will be searching for sounds, if you happen to own one and know where it is, an attachment to a private email to me would be greatly appreciated. 1) Door (Opening/Closing) 2) Alert of a house 3) Teleporting (Any alert sound I suppose) A voice actor in need... I would like a voice actor, or hopefully actors to act out some of the people in the houses. I'll give a shot at it..but different people would really make a different affect. If your interested, please give me an email, that would be really appreciated as well. Pre-Recorded Sapi could work (different accents) for some, but a few humans acting would be cool. If not, I could try my fake accents (lol) or use the almost human-like SAPI accented voices.

[Audyssey] Smugglers 2 explorations
Hi people. My exploration of smugglers 2 continues, and is proving interesting. Using the list box and Hal's read line key (F6), inter system trading isn't too bad, though with a lot more different goods to look through it does take longer, possibley it'll speed up when i know the markit better. Looting though seems much more lucrative, especially as cargo space seems much larger, and there is actually a catagory of ship wreck parts. The game also features more diverse text for missions and for news reports, or at least a greater amount than I noticed in S3. You can also accept missions fromthe independent trader coorp (which I'm guessing is what eventually turns into the confederation), so even if your in trouble with the governing body on whatever planet your on, the federation or the outer rim alliance, you can stil have missions. Crime is also more interesting, sinse you actually get court summonsis, and obviously as it's set just at the start of the war, rather than when things have really gone for a burten as in S3, the lores are stricter, and illegal trading is more difficult, you actually have to go in the bar and find the syndicate in order to buy illegal goods from them, and finding them is tricky. I have however run into one problem which is rather annoying, there seems no way to buy weapon upgrades at all! I've tried clicking on the names of weapons and get nothing, even though i had the cash. I'm not sure whether this is something to do with planet types, ship types or rank or something else, or whether it's a screen reader issue. Missiles seem very weerd, in fact I think you buy a missile type which you then get one time use of in battle, because sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, and I can't be sure when. It's entirely possible that buying equipment upgrades just doesn't exist in the demo version, like in game sound, especially as prices for ships are much lower (a shaddow cat is only 33.00), and various ship types are much more available. I would ask on the nielsbauer forum, but it's annoyingly down for maintenance at the moment. I'll go on experimenting and see what I can find. It'd be nice if this game was playable as well, especially as the new lands add-on for the game sounds interesting. --- 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.
