Re: [Audyssey] Does anyone know about free postage?
Hi. Well that seems reasonable, though to be honest for me, and probably for others, if this is the headband design you were talking about on audiogames.net, the biggest worry would be getting a web ccam to track it, sinse no other game or application I have would require one, I'd thus need to think carefully about whether to get one or not. Of course, for people who have machines with built in webcams anyway as most modern laptops come with them this isn't an issue, however this will come up whatever is charged for the headband or the game. all the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, June 24, 2011 5:52 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Does anyone know about free postage? A flat rate is a pretty good idea, and it does help things seem more fair to everyone. I'll have a better idea of a final price once I settle on a final design for the map and head band. As far as the game goes, I wanted to mention that it will be free. Time and time again I have struggled with the decision to sell games, since I could use money (who couldn't?!) but I also don't want anyone to be unable to play my games because of financial reasons. These items I'm looking to ship, are optional accessories to the game, but they are not required to play it. As I'd mentioned in another post, the game will have keyboard controls to handle all of the features the headband can perform, and the tactile map would be quite helpful, but the game still offers its own navigation methods. You are correct Dark, future projects can use this head band as well. The way I figure it, spreading hundreds of these out into the community can only be a good thing! Not only can I personally utilize it in the future, but other developers may choose to add head tracking to their own games since a standard design would already be owned by players. I'm not sure if that idea would ever catch on, but it's at least neat knowing it's a possibility. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] mush scripting
I don't know a lot about scripting, but I should think you could alter the sound pac for Alter Aeon which, by the way, is the best part of the mud in my oppinion. Open the alter aeon.xml file and there ya go--just start modding it, or at least learning from it lol. Of course, I only recommend doing this if you learn the way I do--that is, by looking at code and changing it bit by bit.

Re: [Audyssey] super egg hunt +
Hi Folks, I didn't see any message about Super Egg Hunt Plus,so I went to Liam's site and found: Super Egg Hunt Plus is coming! Posted on 13 Jun 2011 by Liam A few years ago, I released super Egg Hunt. I am absolutely amazed at how such a simple concept still is enjoyed to this day. so I wanted to do something special. In comes Super Egg Hunt Plus. what is Super Egg Hunt plus? It's the same great game, but with some extra features. first, there's game modes. Running around a grid picking up eggs is fine, but how can we change it up? Well how about a survival mode where once the chicken pecks you, it's game over. Or how about a run through a chicken coop. dodging more chickens and picking up eggs? How about a mode where Clocks work against you. Picking them up makes you lose time instead of gain it? and for those who want to go retro, there's the classic egg hunt. Just Eggs. Along with score boards and a extra special surprise, There is plenty of fun to be had. This isn't free is it? Super Egg Hunt plus does not have a fixed price yet. More information will be made availible when the release date is closer. so what if I just want to play the free game? there will be a free game, right? Of course. The free version is not going anywhere. Upgrading is totally optional. You will never be nagged or bothered about upgrading to plus. You'll be able to play the normal mode and post your scores like you always have. Is there a release date? Nope. Not yet. I have a target of around the second or third quarter of 2011, but things can change in a hurry and it could be done before or after that time. Read more about Super Egg Hunt plus's game modes Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Liam here's a list of the modes you can expect in the release of Super Egg Hunt. these modes are subject to change. normal: Standard game. Collect eggs. avoid chickens. clocks freeze the chicken and add time. Survival: Like normal. But once you are pecked, game is over. chicken gets faster over time. Score is number of seconds, plus eggs collected. chicken coop: two minutes, smaller grid with coop sounds. three chickens. Minute Rush: collect as many eggs as you can in a minute. NO chickens, no clocks. just eggs. Clocked in: Normal game. except clocks subtract time and speed up the chicken. Hyper Hunt: normal, but entire Game including clock is sped up. Classic mode: The classic egg hunt game. complete with old sounds. Mix up Mode: Every 15 seconds, eggs and clocks are rerandomized on the grid. Clear The Grid: clear an ever-expanding grid of eggs. Each cleared grid adds time to the clock. The level number determines the number of eggs on the grid. Nervous Breakdown: Imagine hyper mode, chicken coop and clocked in all rolled in to one. Except the clocks can be both good and bad. getting pecked by a chicken subtracts 45 seconds from your time. http://www.l-works.net/ --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] alter server down?
Hi Oriol. I'm using the latest version 12.3 of Hal (though sinse the release of version 12 it has been called the supernova screen reader not Hal though is the same program just with a snazzier name). Actually hal already reads most elements of the mush window very well using the virtual focus mode and I've often used this to read output or spell specific words. The only thing it won't do is automatically speak incoming text, so if you could send this via the api the way jaws etc works it'd be fine. however, I will say i have no complaints using sapi either sinse it's what I've been doing for the last few years whenever I need direct program output, eg, when playing muds or a game like lone wolf. the only issue with sapi currently is this silly interupt problem on my laptop. That being said, i am lucky enough to have a decent sapi voice (actually realspeak daniel), so maybe some Hal users without that would appreciate streight up Hal support too.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming with Wine under the linux
Hi Petr, Storm Dragon and I are working on a faq/howto on this subject, but playing games under wine is problematic at best. Certain games such as Shades of Doom have technical problems playing under wine. For instance in Shades of Doom if you press enter to open a door the game will crash. I've experienced similar difficulties with Sarah under wine as well. Other games like Jim Kitchens games work alright provided you get all the necessary packages installed. Here is a basic list of things you need if you want to run games under wine. * Install wine 1.3 or newer. The newer the version of wine you have the less problems you will encounter. * Using winetricks install vb6run, vcruntime2005, vcruntime 2008, dinput, directmusic, directplay, directsound, xaudio, xact, and xinput. This should setup up most of the basic dependencies you will need. * Download and install Open Sapi for wine from sourceforge. Do not let it update or change your speech-dispatcher configuration or it will cause issues with Orca. * Install Jim Kitchen's winkit which will help add missing dependencies as well as give you the basic menu system for his games. * Install games you want to play or test under wine. That's basically the procedure in a nutshell. However, I will say though if you are running pulse audio you might have to make some configuration changes in order to make wine run better with pulse audio. The other option is to install the alsa-oss package and do something like aoss wine gtc.exe to launch something like tank commander with wine and using alsa-oss as the default sound driver.

On a somewhat related topic, I long ago built up a big piece of code that generates star systems and planets, but never did anything with it. I've always had this idea that it would be really cool to integrate that code into a game and let people explore with it, but it never seemed an appropriate thing to add to a fantasy mud.

[Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
Hi all, As I am now in the process of finalizing things in Mysteries of the Ancients for 1.0 release candidate 1 I would like to get your input on a few issues I have set aside until now. One of these issues is the matter of speech output for the game. As you all know back around beta 18 I rerecorded all the speech clips using Scansoft Tom's voice. Some have pointed out that the speech rate is way too fast for them, and they want me to rerecord the speech clips at a slower rate. I would certainly do so if I could figure out what is a comfortable speech rate for the majority of players out there. Its a bit hard for me to personally judge that is I tend to listen to speech at a faster rate anyway. However, I'd be willing to give it a try if people are still interested in me slowing the speech rate down. Others are just unhappy of the fact that I switched voices let alone speech rate. I gather quite a lot of you liked Acapella Heather, and many of you would rather see her return to the final release rather than Scansoft Tom. Again this is certainly doable if this is what the majority of you want. Either way I'm going to have to rerecord and update some voice clips. Finally, there is a third group asking for Sapi 5 support in the game. While I'm not completely against the idea I'd like to point out that doing so would require quite a bit of time rewriting all of the speech code to use Sapi 5 rather than prerecorded speech as the game wasn't developed with Sapi output in mind. Though, it is possible. My concerns with Sapi are this. First, that not everyone owns a high quality Sapi TTS voice, and therefore some users wouldn't have the same quality of experience as some of us with better voices like the ATT, Scansoft, or Cepstral voices to use.Second, I'm working with Blind Games Brazil and others to make Mysteries of the Ancients available to foreign non-English speaking markets. Its just easier to do that when someone can record the necessary speech clips, and drop them in the speech folder. Finally, last but not least, after we are done with the Windows release I'm going to pport the game to Mac OS and Linux and it will be easier if the game isn't tied to anything platform specific like Sapi 5. So as I currently see it I can either rerecord Scansoft Tom, restore the original Acapela Heather clips, or I can record new ones using an Ivona voice like Jenifer, Bryan, or Ashley, etc. Any thoughts or opinions?

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
Personally, I think the voice is fine as is. I think you'll run across the problem that if you slow the voice down to much, people will start to say that the voice is dragging. If enough people say the voice is to fast and you decide to slow it down, I think the simplest way to determine the best speed would be to record a few samples at different rates, and see which people like most, or another possibility would be to estimate the rate a person would say the same rate and set it for that.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
Hi Karl, True, but one of the issues is a lot of those who are making the requests are foreign speaking customers where English is not their native tongue. Therefore they want the voice slowed down so they can understand the game better. That's understandable, but how slow is too slow and how fast is too fast for them. I do understand where they are coming from. I had some French and German in high school and college, and although I know the basics of the languages I don't speak them every day, and if I were to actually talk to someone going 90 miles a minute in French or German half of it would get passed me as I can't process it that fast. That said, as most of the users do know English I think they could probably get by with it set to the current rate. It actually sounds a bit slow to me, but I'm comfortable with the current rate personally. On 6/25/11, Karl Belanger karl.belan...@comcast.net wrote: Personally, I think the voice is fine as is.

Hi Mich, When you mean you sometimes use NVDA are you talking about ESpeak which is the default synth that comes with NVDA?

I no longer use Window-Eyes or Jaws, and telling me speech settings in NVDA would work for me.

[Audyssey] MOTA Feedback
Hi all, I released MOTA beta20 at 4:00 PM, and I still haven't gotten any feedback on it. I was just wondering if anyone downloaded it, had a chance to play, and if so what were your thoughts? The reason I ask is I think I've just about got everything stable for the Windows platform, and I'd like to confirm that everything is working well. In a case like that positive feedback as in, everything runs smoothly etc, is just as helpful to a developer as bugs and error reports. Knowing everything is working smoothly will allow me to turn my attention to other things like adding levels, user registration, etc rather than fixing bugs and so on.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
Hi Tom, I certainly oppose it being SAPI driven personally. I'm very open on voices, just as long as it isn't a rubbish one, but I feel a game like MOTA does well to be recorded speech. Yes, I believe the rate should be slowed down though. I do find it rather difficult to understand at the current rate. Again, I don't mind which voice you use, whether you go for Acapella, Cepstral, Scansoft, ATT, Loquendo or anything like that. Just as long as they are not the Microsoft voices like Sam, Mike and Mary. Lol. Just my thoughts. Regards, Damien. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2011 12:28 AM Subject: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output Hi all, As I am now in the process of finalizing things in Mysteries of the Ancients for 1.0 release candidate 1 I would like to get your input on a few issues I have set aside until now. One of these issues is the matter of speech output for the game. As you all know back around beta 18 I rerecorded all the speech clips using Scansoft Tom's voice. Some have pointed out that the speech rate is way too fast for them, and they want me to rerecord the speech clips at a slower rate. I would certainly do so if I could figure out what is a comfortable speech rate for the majority of players out there. Its a bit hard for me to personally judge that is I tend to listen to speech at a faster rate anyway. However, I'd be willing to give it a try if people are still interested in me slowing the speech rate down. Others are just unhappy of the fact that I switched voices let alone speech rate. I gather quite a lot of you liked Acapella Heather, and many of you would rather see her return to the final release rather than Scansoft Tom. Again this is certainly doable if this is what the majority of you want. Either way I'm going to have to rerecord and update some voice clips. Finally, there is a third group asking for Sapi 5 support in the game. While I'm not completely against the idea I'd like to point out that doing so would require quite a bit of time rewriting all of the speech code to use Sapi 5 rather than prerecorded speech as the game wasn't developed with Sapi output in mind. Though, it is possible. My concerns with Sapi are this. First, that not everyone owns a high quality Sapi TTS voice, and therefore some users wouldn't have the same quality of experience as some of us with better voices like the ATT, Scansoft, or Cepstral voices to use.Second, I'm working with Blind Games Brazil and others to make Mysteries of the Ancients available to foreign non-English speaking markets. Its just easier to do that when someone can record the necessary speech clips, and drop them in the speech folder. Finally, last but not least, after we are done with the Windows release I'm going to pport the game to Mac OS and Linux and it will be easier if the game isn't tied to anything platform specific like Sapi 5. So as I currently see it I can either rerecord Scansoft Tom, restore the original Acapela Heather clips, or I can record new ones using an Ivona voice like Jenifer, Bryan, or Ashley, etc. Any thoughts or opinions?

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
Hi Tom, I have my Jaws quite fast, at around 70%. However, with an audio game where you have to process quite a lot of information, I would need a steady voice to go by.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
Hi Damien, Like I said in the post I have plenty of reasons of my own not to use Sapi. I'm not exactly very fond of doing all the work to add it, and of course none of it would be cross-platform compatible in the first place. So I was fully intending to use prerecorded speech of some kind. I just need to figure out what voice, and speed is satisfactory for most people. On 6/25/11, Damien C. Pendleton dam...@x-sight-interactive.net wrote: Hi Tom, I certainly oppose it being SAPI driven personally. I'm very open on voices, just as long as it isn't a rubbish one, but I feel a game like MOTA does well to be recorded speech. Yes, I believe the rate should be slowed down though. I do find it rather difficult to understand at the current rate. Again, I don't mind which voice you use, whether you go for Acapella, Cepstral, Scansoft, ATT, Loquendo or anything like that. Just as long as they are not the Microsoft voices like Sam, Mike and Mary. Lol. Just my thoughts.

One of these issues is the matter of speech output for the game. As you all know back around beta 18 I rerecorded all the speech clips using Scansoft Tom's voice. Some have pointed out that the speech rate is way too fast for them, and they want me to rerecord the speech clips at a slower rate. I would certainly do so if I could figure out what is a comfortable speech rate for the majority of players out there. Its a bit hard for me to personally judge that is I tend to listen to speech at a faster rate anyway. However, I'd be willing to give it a try if people are still interested in me slowing the speech rate down. Others are just unhappy of the fact that I switched voices let alone speech rate. I gather quite a lot of you liked Acapella Heather, and many of you would rather see her return to the final release rather than Scansoft Tom. Again this is certainly doable if this is what the majority of you want. Either way I'm going to have to rerecord and update some voice clips. Finally, there is a third group asking for Sapi 5 support in the game. While I'm not completely against the idea I'd like to point out that doing so would require quite a bit of time rewriting all of the speech code to use Sapi 5 rather than prerecorded speech as the game wasn't developed with Sapi output in mind. Though, it is possible. My concerns with Sapi are this. First, that not everyone owns a high quality Sapi TTS voice, and therefore some users wouldn't have the same quality of experience as some of us with better voices like the ATT, Scansoft, or Cepstral voices to use.Second, I'm working with Blind Games Brazil and others to make Mysteries of the Ancients available to foreign non-English speaking markets. Its just easier to do that when someone can record the necessary speech clips, and drop them in the speech folder. Finally, last but not least, after we are done with the Windows release I'm going to pport the game to Mac OS and Linux and it will be easier if the game isn't tied to anything platform specific like Sapi 5. So as I currently see it I can either rerecord Scansoft Tom, restore the original Acapela Heather clips, or I can record new ones using an Ivona voice like Jenifer, Bryan, or Ashley, etc. Any thoughts or opinions?

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
Hi Damien, Yeah, i get that. The question is, though, what would be comfortable for you? That's hard for me to judge as you say the current speech rate is too fast, and I say it is just right. So if I slow it down it might be easier for you to here, but for me it would be like the voice would be talking to slow. There has to be a happy medium where we can agree on a speech rate. Perhaps I need to look at something like the Ivona voices which aren't too fast or too slow by default. On 6/25/11, Damien C. Pendleton dam...@x-sight-interactive.net wrote: Hi Tom, I have my Jaws quite fast, at around 70%.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
From someone who uses Scansoft Tom for everything that I do not use JAWS with Eloquence for, I like the speech of MOTA just as it currently is. One thing to consider, though, is that speakers of other languages might find it not to their liking. If you do slow it down, I wouldn't slow it down very much. Just thinking out loud, but I wonder if you could get a feel for how fast other gamers would like the speech set by having them send you a sample of the speech rate they use, either by a number that you would be familiar with or in an audio sample. --- Security is not the absence of danger.

Usually, I recieved a handful of messages in the first hour. This time my total feedback was 0 which was unusual.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
Hi Charles, Maybe. However, not every speech program uses the same settings when passing a speech rate to something like Scansoft Tom. One might have a range from 1 to 100 and another might have a range from 1 to 10. Setting Text Aloud to maybe 3 might be 30% in a screen reader, and setting it to 4 might be 40% in a screen reader. Problem is I can't set it to something in between like 35% which would be the happy medium between those rates.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Voice Output
FYI: JAWS with Eloquence, set at 30 percent, is about the same speed as the current setting of the speech in MOTA's beta 20.
