Re: [Audyssey] BGT future development - My replies
Hi Thomas, I know that in my games I need to reset the sapi5 voice engine before changing engines. That is going from an AT&T voice to a Neo Speech, Microsoft or Cepstral. Otherwise the voice is all very distorted and fuzzy. So I do the below code whenever changing to a new voice. nov being the number of the new voice. Set Voice = Nothing Set Voice = New SpVoice Set Voice.Voice = Voice.GetVoices().Item(nov) So that is just in VB6 with the sapi5 voices.

Re: [Audyssey] Top Speed 3 now available
Top Speed can do that with joystick buttons, and possibly more, as well. But it would appear that the input manager had some issues (we don't touch that code too often). Also I meant to send the full changelog to Audyssey, thinking that the list wouldn't mind a 25 KB file.

Re: [Audyssey] Alter Aeon
Marina, Can you tell us the highest level areas you're able to go to safely? I see that you're a fighter, so if you're having a lot of trouble with lower level areas it's probably that your equipment is mismatched for your character. For a fighter, the most important types of equipment are those with hitroll and damroll on them. This raises your damage level and makes it a lot easier to kill things. It's a good idea to sacrifice armor for hitroll and damroll, especially at low levels. -dentin Alter Aeon Multiclass MUD http://www.alteraeon.com On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 10:54 PM, wrote: > Hi all, > > I play alter aeon as marina, a warrior thief mage.

Lori, There's a bunch of different sound packs for different clients - if you can tell me which one you're using, I can try to find the person who maintains the soundpack for you. If it's the Mush client, you can probably get help using the 'zt' channel in-game.

Re: [Audyssey] thinking of coding a game dtmf guess
well yes I have heard of perfect pitch in fact I have perfect pitch myself that's why I thought of making this game. Because even though you might have perfect pitch, itstill requries some people to think for a whileuntil they get it right unless they're very very used to it. Not with musical notes because I'm used to them, but for dtmf tones it is slightly harder. On 1/12/11, Scott Chesworth wrote: > Ever heard of perfect pitch?

[Audyssey] chain link question
Hi all I find chane link a very interesting but challenging game. I often cannot complete a chane as quite a number of words are unfamiliar to me so I have to often ask all the letters of a word from the game so that I only have to get the last letter in a word Probably because I do not live in the united states .I just now got a very strange chane. Especially the first two words was very strange to me. The first word in the chane is zucchini. I did a google search and there I read that zucchini is a type of squash. So the second word had 4 stars meaning 4 letters. So I tried to think what in the line of squash and pumpkin can have 4 letters? Because pumpkin is related to squash. After thinking for a while I couldn't get to a 4 letter word relating to zucchini. So I activated the button for take letter below zucchini until I have only the last letter to guess. And the word was bread. Can anybody please tell me what is the relation between zucchini and bread? The rest of the words in the chane was easier. Below bread was money, then bank, then safe, then lock then hair. But I am very puzzled about those first 2 words in the chane.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT future development - My replies
Hi Jim, I know. I do the same thing to reset the Speech Engine before switching to Neospeech, Natural Voices, whatever. Problem is though the Neospeech voices continue to sound fuzzy, distorted, etc even though I properly disposed of the old Sapi speech engine and initialized the new one. I don't have this problem when switching from the AT&T voices to Microsoft Anna or to the Realspeak voices that ships with Jaws 9. This leads me to believe that the Neospeech voices have some problems not shared by other TTS engines out there.

[Audyssey] Hopeful news on the future accessibility of Star Breed, a Science Fiction gamebook for iOS
Hi all, I contacted the developer of this game. The core of the game is accessible, the story. However, the story requires you to hack into terminals, help people with networking, etc, as the main character you're Well rounded with combat but you primarily perform hacking operations. The hacking and combat battles come in the form of visual minigames that, depending on how played, effect the outcome of the battle. Possible outcomes either you could probably die, get injured, get critically injured, etc. Since i paid $2.99 for this app, I was slightly disappointed that the battles weren't playable, as that's what makes up most of the game, besides telling a sweet story in the process. Right now, all we can do is read the introduction and start what I think is a tutorial. The problem? You have to hack the security of a Tank, where it becomes unplayable. Was surprised to get a response back. Took a few days, but here it is. P.S. Anyone know how to contact EA Mobile? They've got two totally text based games at least that's what I read in reviews, yet VoiceOver is completely inaccessible with them. These inparticular would be nice to become accessible due to weekly content and or story updates.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT problem!
Hi Muhammed, No. I simply mean pressing the enter key to create a manual line break when starting a new statement or if a statement is too long to fit on a single line. For example, some compound if statements are way too long to fit on a single line of code so I press the enter key to make a manual line break after the && or || operators, indent the next line of code properly, and continue with the statement. It makes it both more readable and it won't scroll off the screen formatted that way. However, if you are going to break a statement between a line you need to know where you can break it and how to properly format it. That's a bit too advanced for you at this moment. As for using double spacing you only really need to do that between major code blocks like between functions. I think Philip really needs to do a tutorial on proper code formatting.

There is a type of bread that is made with zucchini, although you cannot taste the squash in the bread. --- Shepherds are the best beasts! - Original Message - From: "NIcol" To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 1:15 PM Subject: [Audyssey] chain link question Hi all I find chane link a very interesting but challenging game. I often cannot complete a chane as quite a number of words are unfamiliar to me so I have to often ask all the letters of a word from the game so that I only have to get the last letter in a word Probably because I do not live in the united states .I just now got a very strange chane. Especially the first two words was very strange to me. The first word in the chane is zucchini. I did a google search and there I read that zucchini is a type of squash. So the second word had 4 stars meaning 4 letters. So I tried to think what in the line of squash and pumpkin can have 4 letters? Because pumpkin is related to squash. After thinking for a while I couldn't get to a 4 letter word relating to zucchini. So I activated the button for take letter below zucchini until I have only the last letter to guess. And the word was bread. Can anybody please tell me what is the relation between zucchini and bread? The rest of the words in the chane was easier. Below bread was money, then bank, then safe, then lock then hair. But I am very puzzled about those first 2 words in the chane.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT future development
Hi Muhammed, I explained it in an earlier post. Don't you read your e-mail? Essentially, what I was refering to is some game consoles and PC games have special game controllers in the form of a boxing glove used for boxing games. I haven't seen them around for quite a while, but I do know they did exist at one time. I can remember a couple of years back seeing a set for the PC with force feedback support that would simulate the feel of punching an aponent when you hit them. Obviously, this type of game controller would only be useful in a hand to hand fighting game such as boxing and not good for much else. Cheers!

The core of the game is accessible, the story. However, the story requires you to hack into terminals, help people with networking, etc, as the main character you're Well rounded with combat but you primarily perform hacking operations. The hacking and combat battles come in the form of visual minigames that, depending on how played, effect the outcome of the battle. Possible outcomes either you could probably die, get injured, get critically injured, etc. Since i paid $2.99 for this app, I was slightly disappointed that the battles weren't playable, as that's what makes up most of the game, besides telling a sweet story in the process. Right now, all we can do is read the introduction and start what I think is a tutorial. The problem? You have to hack the security of a Tank, where it becomes unplayable. Was surprised to get a response back. Took a few days, but here it is. P.S. Anyone know how to contact EA Mobile? They've got two totally text based games at least that's what I read in reviews, yet VoiceOver is completely inaccessible with them. These inparticular would be nice to become accessible due to weekly content and or story updates.

Being blind, text based games are a great way to pass the time since very little graphics are involved. In the case of Star Breed, using VoiceOver it was difficult to get through the first two intro screens or so, but I figured it out eventually. The part where I get stuck though is when I have to help an engineer with a Tank. When I jack in, I see a screen that says security threat detected or something like that, with something that says chip timer sequence and medium. When I double-tap either one of those, the VoiceOver gesture for click, nothing happens. >> >> Is there possibly anything you can do to make this accessible for VoiceOver blind users?

Re: [Audyssey] Sticks version game pads.
Hi Ron, That is always possible. I've also thought of something else that might be to blame too. If I remember correctly I installed and configured the Philips 2909 back when I was running Vista so when I updated to Windows 7 all of my settings, drivers, etc were pretty much kept in tact. That also explains why I thought it was located under "Game Controllers" but when I couldn't find it under Windows 7 I had to look under "Devices and Printers" to get the same settings dialog box. Just a simple case of getting Vista's control panel and Win 7's control panel a tad bit confused.

[Audyssey] if it ain't broke, don't fix it - Re: Sticks version game pads.
As for finding settings, why do they keep getting moved into different locations? Why can't they just leave well enough alone? If they were logically located in previous versions of Windows, leave them there. The same goes for the desktop and the menu system. In Microsoft Office, the pulldown menus were just fine, and they were pretty much straightforward. Then they had to go and incorporate a stupid ribbon system that drives people crazy, especially those of us who cannot see.

Re: [Audyssey] Sticks version game pads.
Hi Charles, Because this is Microsoft we are talking about. Changing the user interface every version or two for the sake of changing it seams to be Microsoft's reason for everything. Why there isn't a "Game Controllers" option under Windows 7 when there clearly was one under Vista is probably just as good a question as why did they yank out all the pull down menus in office and replace them with the menu ribbons. Microsoft has no good reason for it other than that's the kind of illogical crap Microsoft does and calls it progress. If they had a motto it would be "if it ain't broke change it anyway."

Re: [Audyssey] Sticks version game pads.
well I don't see any reason why us blinks need 64 bit. what I understand is that programs can only use the first gb of ram, so 1 gb per program. in 64bit, you can use 4gb per program. or more. Unless you do image design or something you don't need that much. Sertainly for us blinks we don't even use 4gb ram. on my xp system I am using about 440mb about with all the extra halfmb blocks maybe 450-460mb. cutting about a good 80 for readers, and the mail program I am using round 320 -380mb. And thats everything i have, granted my version of hal is old but you get the idea. there is no way we will ever use 1gb of ram per program. Performance may improve with a 64bit os but we probably don't need it. Only people that need it are probably engineers that need to run multipul calculations like my brother, software developers, graphic designers and audio designers that need loads loaded at once and hardcore gamers. General users don't need this. In fact general users don't need win7 at alll, but thats the way things go same with ribbons. Though 7 has loads going for it. internal disk imaging is a thing I like.

Re: [Audyssey] if it ain't broke, don't fix it - Re: Sticks version game pads.
Hi Charles, I don't know. Maybe the Microsoft developers are mad as a hatter, crazier than a bed bug, or outright loons. Grin. Actually, there is a reason but it doesn't make sense to the common user from a practical standpoint. Essentially, from a business perspective one way to resell a software product and keep that product going is to convince their target market that the product they have is out dated, obsolete, and the new product is somehow infurior even if there really isn't anything new for sale. One way to do that is to perform an inexpensive upgrade on the software like removing classic menus and replacing them with menu ribbons, add some flashier graphics, and a newer and sexier interface that just looks new. Of course, there might not really be anything new or revolutionary about the product itself, but the new look and feel might convince people that this newer version is better than the version they have. For example, I see this done all the time with computers. You might walk through Wal-Mart and see an HP or Compaq for $699, with certain specs, and adds screaming how much newer and better this system is compared to the previous model. Now, by March or April you will see that computer marked down to $499 and there will be a HP right next to it for $699. In most of the cases the $699 computer might have most of the same software, hardware, etc but they put it in a newer looking case, paint it a different color, and try and convince you that the $499 model is infurior to the $699 model even though the hardware is almost identical. Maybe it has a 3.8 GHZ processor over a 3.6 GHZ processor, but at that speed the performance isn't going to be that big a deal for the average computer user. It just sounds better, but in practical terms it isn't worth throwing away the computer you purchased six months ago. In the long run software developers do the same thing. For example, I have downloaded and tested Jaws 12 and there isn't a thing it can do that Jaws 11 can't already do, and I personally think it is an absolute waist of an SMA. They didn't even address some outstanding bugs such as the fact under Windows 7 it incorrectly identifies the number of items in a list, and a couple of other bugs. There is a lot of non-essential changes in Jaws 12, but I frankly don't think it is worth an upgrade so I have no plans to renew my SMA at this time. In fact, some of the changes they did with the config manager etc I don't even like. It is a classic case of fixing something that wasn't even broke, and not fixing something that was broke. Software companies pull this kind of stuff all of the time. On 1/12/11, Charles Rivard wrote: > As for finding settings, why do they keep getting moved into different > locations?

Re: [Audyssey] Sticks version game pads.
Hi Shaun, That's actually an over simplification of the facts. Most people assume it has to do with 4 gb of ram, but that isn't the problem at all. With a 32-bit file system you can not easily create or map a file that is larger than 4 GB of size. This includes a wav file, avi file, mpg vidio clip, etc. As a result with newer technologies like blue ray it is becoming more and more difficult to map a 50 GB high definition video file to a 32-bit file system and/or play it with a 32-bit processor. In order to play huge files like this you really need a 64-bit processor, operating system, and file system. As multimedia formats get larger and larger in order to compress high definition video, high-fi audio, etc the more necessary it is to have and use 64-bit systems. This effects everyone in some way. Especially, since standard dvd movies are on the way out and blue ray dvds are quickly beginning to be more mainstream. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Sticks version game pads.
Blinks? ... Blind individuals may also be involved in creative projects which require resource-intensive programs, such as Sonar which may load soft synths, sound fonts, and a multitude of other memory-consuming components. There definitely is a good reason to have the high memory, assuming your needs call for it. If you simply edit word documents, do some spreadsheets, edit a few PowerPoint presentations, check email, and the other usual activities such as browsing the internet, then four or more GB of RAM and a 3.6 GHZ Dual/quad core system might just be overkill. But if you're doing something intensive like the examples sited above, such specifications might just be the difference between getting a project done this week, rather than next week, when the due-date will have passed.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT future development - My replies
Hi Thomas, I notice that switching to Neospeech from other voices does take quite a while in Windows.

Re: [Audyssey] if it ain't broke, don't fix it - Re: Sticks version game pads.
So they're ripping you off while making you think they're not. In the case of trying to find moved settings, though, it seems to me like it's less functional or, at best, no better than the predecessor, more confusing, and more expensive. I still agree with my subject line in this case. In the case of JAWS 12, I like the newer arrangement of settings changes in some ways, and I like the approach to Microsoft's ribbons in MS Word 7, although the price for those changes seems sort of steep from the viewpoint of an end user who doesn't know much about what went into the making and incorporation of these improvements. --- Laughter is the best medicine, so look around, find a dose and take it to heart. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 7:55 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] if it ain't broke, don't fix it - Re: Sticks version game pads. Hi Charles, I don't know. Maybe the Microsoft developers are mad as a hatter, crazier than a bed bug, or outright loons. Grin. Actually, there is a reason but it doesn't make sense to the common user from a practical standpoint. Essentially, from a business perspective one way to resell a software product and keep that product going is to convince their target market that the product they have is out dated, obsolete, and the new product is somehow infurior even if there really isn't anything new for sale. One way to do that is to perform an inexpensive upgrade on the software like removing classic menus and replacing them with menu ribbons, add some flashier graphics, and a newer and sexier interface that just looks new. Of course, there might not really be anything new or revolutionary about the product itself, but the new look and feel might convince people that this newer version is better than the version they have. For example, I see this done all the time with computers. You might walk through Wal-Mart and see an HP or Compaq for $699, with certain specs, and adds screaming how much newer and better this system is compared to the previous model. Now, by March or April you will see that computer marked down to $499 and there will be a HP right next to it for $699. In most of the cases the $699 computer might have most of the same software, hardware, etc but they put it in a newer looking case, paint it a different color, and try and convince you that the $499 model is infurior to the $699 model even though the hardware is almost identical. Maybe it has a 3.8 GHZ processor over a 3.6 GHZ processor, but at that speed the performance isn't going to be that big a deal for the average computer user. It just sounds better, but in practical terms it isn't worth throwing away the computer you purchased six months ago. In the long run software developers do the same thing. For example, I have downloaded and tested Jaws 12 and there isn't a thing it can do that Jaws 11 can't already do, and I personally think it is an absolute waist of an SMA. They didn't even address some outstanding bugs such as the fact under Windows 7 it incorrectly identifies the number of items in a list, and a couple of other bugs. There is a lot of non-essential changes in Jaws 12, but I frankly don't think it is worth an upgrade so I have no plans to renew my SMA at this time. In fact, some of the changes they did with the config manager etc I don't even like. It is a classic case of fixing something that wasn't even broke, and not fixing something that was broke. Software companies pull this kind of stuff all of the time. On 1/12/11, Charles Rivard wrote: As for finding settings, why do they keep getting moved into different locations? Why can't they just leave well enough alone? If they were logically located in previous versions of Windows, leave them there. The same goes for the desktop and the menu system. In Microsoft Office, the pulldown menus were just fine, and they were pretty much straightforward. Then they had to go and incorporate a stupid ribbon system that drives people crazy, especially those of us who cannot see. I know some sighted people who feel as I do, so it's not just the visually impaired or blind people who think this. --- Laughter is the best medicine, so look around, find a dose and take it to heart. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Kai, Definitely. Not only that as I said earlier the issue just isn't related to memory as some people believe.

Re: [Audyssey] if it ain't broke, don't fix it - Re: Sticks version game pads.
Hi Charles, Well, that’s certainly one way of looking at it. There is even a term for it. It is called "perceived obsolescence." The basic idea of this marketing strategy is to take a product you have, repackage it, change the look or feel a little bit, and attempt to market it as a new product even though it is the same old product in new packaging. So, yeah, they are trying to rip you off if they can, or at the very least trying to make their product look newer and more attractive to their customers. For example, the biggest target market for this type of marketing is children. Toy manufacturers know if they change a popular toy just a little and sell it again kids will want it even if it is similar to the toy they have. This month they might have Night Strike Batman with some sort of night vision goggles or something, and next month they will come out with Ninja Attack batman with a couple of swords. The figure in the box is the same action figure but the equipment included is a little different and the packaging he is in is different, but kids don’t know or particularly care about that. They see the new Batman figure and want it, because his old toy is not as cool as the new one etc. Believe me my son is bad about wanting the same figure again and again just because the action figure inside is a tad newer/different than the one he has. The thing is every large company does this at some level, and I do understand why they do it. If you are in the business of selling cars you aren't going to completely invent a new car every year. Instead you might come up with some newer paint schemes on the 2011 model, or might change the look of the body a bit, throw in a feature from the limited model in the standard model, etc but you aren't going to redesign that entire car from scratch. That costs a lot of time and money in research and development. So they get by for another year or two on the same basic model, but make it a little more attractive looking than last years model, and throw in a few extras like power seats as a bonus. Well, software developers aren't that much different. Some want to make a few new sales, reach that bottom line, and if they can tinker with the UI a little, fix a couple of bugs, and resell it as 2.0 they'll do it just to make a few bucks. That's why upgrading from say Office 2007 to Office 2010 really isn't any big deal. I don't see a single thing 2010 has I don't already have with 2007 in terms of my personal needs so won't buy it on those grounds. Cheers!

Most people assume it has to do with 4 gb of ram, but that isn't the problem at all. With a 32-bit file system you can not easily create or map a file that is larger than 4 GB of size. This includes a wav file, avi file, mpg vidio clip, etc. As a result with newer technologies like blue ray it is becoming more and more difficult to map a 50 GB high definition video file to a 32-bit file system and/or play it with a 32-bit processor. In order to play huge files like this you really need a 64-bit processor, operating system, and file system. As multimedia formats get larger and larger in order to compress high definition video, high-fi audio, etc the more necessary it is to have and use 64-bit systems. This effects everyone in some way.

There definitely is a good reason to have the high memory, assuming your needs call for it. If you simply edit word documents, do some spreadsheets, edit a few PowerPoint presentations, check email, and the other usual activities such as browsing the internet, then four or more GB of RAM and a 3.6 GHZ Dual/quad core system might just be overkill. But if you're doing something intensive like the examples sited above, such specifications might just be the difference between getting a project done this week, rather than next week, when the due-date will have passed.

Unless you do image design or something you don't need that much. Sertainly for us blinks we don't even use 4gb ram. on my xp system I am using about 440mb about with all the extra halfmb blocks maybe 450-460mb. cutting about a good 80 for readers, and the mail program I am using round 320 -380mb. And thats everything i have, granted my version of hal is old but you get the idea. there is no way we will ever use 1gb of ram per program. Performance may improve with a 64bit os but we probably don't need it. Only people that need it are probably engineers that need to run multipul calculations like my brother, software developers, graphic designers and audio designers that need loads loaded at once and hardcore gamers. General users don't need this. In fact general users don't need win7 at alll, but thats the way things go same with ribbons. Though 7 has loads going for it. internal disk imaging is a thing I like.

So it could be an issue of 32-bit vs 64-bit or you guys just aren't looking in the right place.
