Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Baseball Pitches
Even if you don't have perfect pitch, as I don't, you might be able, with practice, determine whether the ball is within the strike zone. As far as the time you have when at bat, a major league batter swings before determining whether a ball will or will not move into the strike zone, so I think this is a realistic part of the game. Good work, Jim. --- Shepherds are the best beasts. - Original Message - From: "Jim Kitchen" To: "Ryan Strunk" Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 1:13 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Baseball Pitches Hi Ryan, You are totally correct about everything that you said about my baseball pitches. They are very very hard to hear if they are a strike or a ball. Personally I mostly swing at everything. I was afraid that if I made them much easier, people would just never swing and end up with way too many walks. But in my defense, even with the instant replay the commentators often can not say for sure if the pitch was a ball or strike. And the batters swing at anything that is close. BFN Jim I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7
Hi, Yeah, I've read Microsoft has removed a lot of legacy code and non-esential system services dramatically increasing over all system performance. I have a 3.6 GHZ Pentium processor on my laptop here, and Windows 7 flies on that processor. Windows Vista, which shipped with the computer, dragged everything down cutting resources in half. It is nice to know Windows 7 gives the end users system resources back or most of them back in any case. valiant8086 on braille plus wrote: better than xp in many cases.

Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7
Hi, Yeah, basically Windows 7 is Windows Vista with several bug fixes, updated components such as Internet Explorer 8 and .NET 4.0, etc and is little more than a patched and updated Windows Vista. The point is anything specifically made for Windows Vista such as Mysteries of the Ancients beta 4 works fine on Windows 7. I should know I tested it. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7
Hi, Smile. Yeah, sort of looks that way. Visual Basic 6 support was officially dropped back in 2005, and unfortunately most of the accessible games out there were written in that language. Even though they can be made to work on Windows 7 I don't personally see it as anything more than a stop gap method until developers can get them upgraded to .NET or something else more compatible with Vista and Windows 7.

As some of you know, we been trying to re-make cyberassault into the glorious mud it once was. So, we need builders and coders. The mud is currently running TBAmud, and still has a bit of bugs to work out and alot of ideas to be put into action. So, if you're interested, come join us, create a character, get the feel of the mud, and give us a hand. cyberassault.org 1 Hope to see ya there! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] exploration trouble mm
Like I said, its not the wilderness that's my problem, it's the way the wilderness was done. Text descriptions of roads, plains and such rather than a dynamically changing ascii map is much better for an overland wilderness in my opinion. I two am a questing fiend, but I prefer to actually know what I'm doing in my quests, not be told to go retrieve the seven shards of an ancient sword, and that they're scattered around the world, but get absolutely no hints on where even one of said shards can be found, or how to reassemble them when you've found them. This is just an example, not an actual quest in MM, but its saddening how many muds have quests like this. I never could figure out how people, erm, figured them out. Its definitely not one of the worst muds out there, its got some interesting features, both that I've seen in action and heard of. But I can't in all honesty say its one of the best either. I pretty much agree with everything you said in your reply though. If you're a questing fiend you might wish to check out Asylum or New Moon, both are very, very difficult muds, though asylum is quite newbie friendly, and asylum especially, is quest based. The entire mud revolves around a quest list and you actually can advance quicker by questing instead of grinding if you have done a fair amount of quests. As for partying, asylum's got a couple of quests that are actually made for groups. But on most muds, its just as you said, the party turns pretty much into a crowd. That and parties rarely stop and explore or do much in the way of questing, usually people party up so have a big leader guy drag them through tough areas for a lot of XP, or just for someone to hang out with to break up the tedium of the grind. Anyway I'm not trying to sway you to my way of thinking, just stating my opinions mostly. Perhaps you'll find more enjoyment in MM than I ever could. -- From: "dark" Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 10:08 AM To: "Gamers Discussion list" Subject: Re: [Audyssey] exploration trouble mm To be honest my previous post was more in the matter of frustration than an actual assessment, sinse I'm royally irritated that just as I've spent 18 hours on the game and finally think I'm working things out, I'm booted streight out of the newby area without being able to finish the quests I started. and now I'll have to spend another 18 hours or so playing with either this character restarted, or a new one in order to finish them, pluss it seems I'll need to be dam careful what I do and do not kill in the village so as not to go over my xp limit.

[Audyssey] Lone wolf soundpack?
Hi. Recently, on the audiogames.net forum a post has come up about the lw soundpack. Right now i'm using the one Tom put together, which sounds great, and is I believe something of a compilation of previous ones by Phil vlasac and others. I really like it, but I'm afraid I utterly forget where it was stored online, if indeed it was, so I can't pass the link along. Perhaps Tom, or anyone else hosting the sound pack could please let me know the link to where it's hosted, then I can put a link to it on the audiogames.net database page for lw. thanks in advance.

Since all of the games by Jim Kitchen, GMA Games, PCS Games, BSC Games, etc are based on Visual Basic 6 legacy libraries these need to be installed manually. One way to do this easily is by installing jim Kitchens Winkit setup from his web site. That will install any and all missing Visual Basic dependancies that no longer ship with Windows 7. As for newer games written in Java or in .NET those work really well. Depending on if the .NET based game uses DirectX 9 or XNA you will need to install Managed DirectX or the XNA Framework, but that is no biggy. Java games, such as those made by 7-128, comes with everything you need in the 7-128 Gamebook.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Baseball Pitches
Hi Ryan, You are totally correct about everything that you said about my baseball pitches. They are very very hard to hear if they are a strike or a ball. Personally I mostly swing at everything. I was afraid that if I made them much easier, people would just never swing and end up with way too many walks. But in my defense, even with the instant replay the commentators often can not say for sure if the pitch was a ball or strike. And the batters swing at anything that is close.

Then it hit me. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
