[Audyssey] Castaways: tweak and a question.

2011-09-04 Thread Christopher Bartlett
Tweak: I'd like to see the v key return ailing and pregnant, taking these
totals away from adults.  This makes it easier to maintain a constant
proportion of peasants, soldiers, etc.

 

Question: do walls function like guard towers?  I put a few strategic walls
into my map recently and it seems as though my military are reacting much
faster to more wide-spread attacks.

Actually there already is a message for when a person drops below 10%.  It 
tells you the person is on the verge of starvation.


I've been very busy for the past 2 days, and tomorrow also looks full, so 
I haven't gotten a chance to play around with any other methods for that 
tavern message.



I agree with Jeremy. How about a
message when someone's energy level is below 10% instead? If
your tavern has enough supply of at least 2 types of food
and you never close it, this won't be much use to you. But
if you do close the tavern a lot, that message can be a
reminder to open it.

You definitely need to center the projectiles and chimpanzees to shoot down the

Re: [Audyssey] question about level 7 of ausim homer.

2011-09-04 Thread Jim Kitchen

Hi Greg,

Here is how I drive level 7.

In level 7 the first two cars just randomly move back and forth left and right. 
 The next car does a good job of getting in your way.  But the closer you are 
to it, the slower that it gets in front of you.  So wait until you are very 
close and then move to the left or right of it.  The next two cars do not get 
in your way as much, but they will cause you to spin out via oil or bananas.  
What I do is to get over to one side and as soon as I hear the oil or chimp 
voice I mash the arrow key to go to the other side and thus avoid the oil or 
bananas.  The last car with Gonk is not too hard to stay behind and then just 
move along side of once you are close.

I hope that helps.

Re: [Audyssey] question about the howling wind sounds in level 6ofausim homer.

2011-09-04 Thread Jim Kitchen


Hi lenron,

Awesome Homer, file name winah4.exe can be found on my free windows sapi5 text 
to speech games page.  And the winkit.zip file is the first link on that page.

Gonk the ape has kidnapped Marge.  You as Awesome Homer try to rescue her.
In version 2 it now reads only the level or levels that you just played, but 
you can still read the entire log file from the menu.
The cut scene in level 1 is now interruptible.
There is now a warning when the chainsaw is about to run out.
There is now a different sound for jumping and ducking.
The right shift and right control keys now work the same as the left shift and 
left control keys.
Once you finish the game, you can now pick to play any level.
And the not picking up the chainsaw bug is fixed.
In version 3, the escape key works properly to quit any level.
And now instead of the right shift and right control keys, the up arrow and 
down arrow keys work the same as the left shift and left control keys.
In version 4 I fixed the keys for level 6 that were wrong in version 3.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: peasants not spinning yarn?

2011-09-04 Thread Alfredo_The_Music_maker

Hello all,
Well, after hearing some thing about castaways, I decided to give it a 
try. So far, I made progress, have 33 people total in my settlement and 
have some soldiers battling the goblins. Some time ago, I noticed 
peasants stopped production of spinning animal fur into yarn. I have a 
total of 139 animal fur and the textile contains five fur and 0 cloths. 
The hospital has 0 cloths for bandages, and I have nine people suffering 
from their ailments. I am curious to know why the peasants are not 
spinning yarn. should I increase the number of peasants? Right now I 
have four of them, and most of them are transporting supplies around. I 
think two of them have a primary job, but I may be unsure as to that.I 
have built more houses, so as to make the population grow. Also, the 
production of metal bars and farmers seems to be taking forever. I built 
the mine on land, put a forge right next to them. It seems like I have 
to wait about 1500 or so number of ticks before being able to build any 
barracks or guard towers. I am playing on mission one, easiest level.
If someone can provide me with this, hints and strategies, could you 
send them my way? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Alfredo

Hi Thanvin.

I'm afraid asking for kracks on this list is a very bad idea.

this list exists to promote game developement, and sinse developers spend 
their time and indeed money making games, buying software libraries etc, 
effectively stealing their games with a crack is only going to stop 
people producing games in future as they won't have the cash to continue.


Remember, all audio game developers do it in their spare time, and all 
have other jobs to do. Disrespecting their commitment and work by 
cracking games is really! a bad thing.


Therefore either you should buy the game if you like it, or not play it, 
it's simple as that, ditto with Gma tank commander if you've got a 
cracked copy, not paying David greenwood for the hard work he's done when 
your obviously enjoying the game is pretty dire.


As regards the amo dumps, it's just a question of being careful with your 
shots unfortunately, there's no other way around it.


You can try and lead mobile enemies away from the dumps and then pick 
them up when you've dealt with the tanks or choppers, or attempt to run 
in, grab the amo then! destroy enemies, but either stratogy takes care to 
execute.


Myself, i usually get one of the amo dumps, but just blow the other up, 
sinse mostly I've got enough amo anyway.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: tweak and a question.

2011-09-04 Thread Jeremy Kaldobsky
Those changes to the V key will be easy to add, so I'll have that in the next 
update.  While the walls do not mimic the guard tower as far as allowing troops 
to rest, they are technically your buildings so the guards will defend the area 
near them.  The AI for your troops must decide which enemies to attack each 
time they are fully rested.  Part of their decision is based on what class of 
soldier their enemy is, so they are more likely to attack ones they are best at 
fighting, but the other consideration is how close the enemy is to your 
buildings.  You'd much rather have your troops attacking the enemies that are 
close to your settlement rather than running off to attack ones that are super 
far away.  So by spreading walls around, you are giving your soldiers a larger 
sense of what constitutes your settlement, and so they will put more importance 
on defending land they didn't care as much about previously.
 
 Tweak: I'd like to see the v key
 return ailing and pregnant, taking these
 totals away from adults.  This makes it easier to
 maintain a constant
 proportion of peasants, soldiers, etc.
 
  
 
 Question: do walls function like guard towers?  I put
 a few strategic walls
 into my map recently and it seems as though my military are
 reacting much
 faster to more wide-spread attacks.

Re: [Audyssey] sound for closed buildings in castaways

2011-09-04 Thread Jeremy Kaldobsky
Actually I think you're right about the 5%.  I started out with a 10% message 
as well, but it had the same unintended behavior as the new tavern message that 
was suggested.  People actually drop below 10% quite often, but only for a 
moment and then they are quickly fed and sent back out to work.  I was getting 
so many unnecessary messages that I kept lowering its requirement until 5% 
seemed to be pretty good at only showing me people who were actually in any 
danger.

Hopefully this, and the explanations of the trouble I'm having with the new 
tavern message, aren't coming across as dismissing people's suggestions.  I'm 
just letting everyone know what I've tried, and why it didn't seem to work as 
planned.  This might give people some ideas on how to change their ideas around 
so that they will work how they wish them to work.

 oh, I didn't put my message it across
 clearly. I mean 1 more warning before the urge of
 starvation. when there is the actual starvation message,
 some1 has already stop work and waiting at the tavern to get
 food and I think the energy is already down to less than
 5%.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: major war tent bug.

2011-09-04 Thread Jeremy Kaldobsky
Oh Wow!  That's not good at all!  I will get on that bug as soon as I can.  
Losing soldiers is a pretty bad thing, and I think this needs to be fixed 
before just about anything else.  I'm already aware of a few War tent bugs in 
version 2.0, but I hadn't ever encountered this one before.


 Ok, I had ten rangers and 9
 pikemen.  Then I reinforced Fiona with 4 of
 each.  All well and good, except that now I have 0
 rangers and 0 pikemen.
 Fiona seems to have gotten the correct number, but I lost
 more than I
 should.

Re: [Audyssey] question about level 7 of ausim homer.

2011-09-04 Thread Jim Kitchen

Hi Mich,

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure how that is possible.  But so once your car starts, 
hold down the control key and press the up arrow key to shift into gear.  Now 
just hold down the control key and almost immediately you will start hearing 
the first two cars.  Some times you get lucky and do not even need to move left 
or right to pass them.  And then you for the first time will hear a chimp.  He 
is mad because you passed him.  But whatever you do, never let off of the 
control key I E the gas peddle.  And if you run into any of the cars, it slows 
you down and damages your car and thus your top speed is now lower and it will 
now be more difficult to get to and pass all five cars before you get to the 
car with Marge and Gonk.  If you do hit a car, you hear a loud car crashing 
sound and a chimp yells at you.  The only time that I run out of fuel is if I 
hit other cars too many times.

I can send you an mp3 if you like.

Re: [Audyssey] Awsome homer thoughts

2011-09-04 Thread Jim Kitchen

Hi Dark,

Oh yeah, you are correct.  The projectiles are much more difficult to hear than 
the chimp sounds.  That is why I move the projectiles and the chimp sounds 
simultaneously.  And I do also use the chimp sounds not actually the 
projectiles to center and shoot at.  Of course though we are shooting at the 
projectiles and not the lovable little chimps.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: peasants not spinning yarn?

2011-09-04 Thread Jeremy Kaldobsky
Glad to hear you're giving the game a try.  For your yarn situation, I would 
definitely suggest getting more peasants.  With only 4 peasants they will be so 
busy with the more important tasks that they'll almost never get around to 
doing things like spinning yarn.  They will always deal with food related items 
first, since that is more vital to keeping your people alive.

The mine will work best when placed near rocks.  Just like a quarry, the miner 
travels out to collect metal ore from the rocky portions of the map.  I'm 
guessing there aren't rocks near your mine.


 Hello all,
 Well, after hearing some thing about castaways, I decided
 to give it a try. So far, I made progress, have 33 people
 total in my settlement and have some soldiers battling the
 goblins. Some time ago, I noticed peasants stopped
 production of spinning animal fur into yarn. I have a total
 of 139 animal fur and the textile contains five fur and 0
 cloths. The hospital has 0 cloths for bandages, and I have
 nine people suffering from their ailments. I am curious to
 know why the peasants are not spinning yarn. should I
 increase the number of peasants? Right now I have four of
 them, and most of them are transporting supplies around. I
 think two of them have a primary job, but I may be unsure as
 to that.I have built more houses, so as to make the
 population grow. Also, the production of metal bars and
 farmers seems to be taking forever. I built the mine on
 land, put a forge right next to them. It seems like I have
 to wait about 1500 or so number of ticks before being able
 to build any barracks or guard towers. I am playing on
 mission one, easiest level.
 If someone can provide me with this, hints and strategies,
 could you send them my way? I would really appreciate it.
 Thanks,
 Alfredo

Hi all,
I have some questions about both games.
Is there some place where all published cars and tracks for both 
games can be found and which is permanent, meaning not just a dropbox 
or sendspace link of one car or one vehicle?
There once was a FTP server where most of all Top Speed 2 related 
stuff could be found, but if I remember correctly, this source is 
gone for years.

And my other two questions are related to Top Speed 3 exclusively.
The first one is, if someone will create some car and track creation 
tools like for Top Speed 2 or if such tools already exist.
And the the second thing is just something I am wondering about and 
that is the apparent lack of any publicly available language packs 
for the latest title at all...
Are there only English speaking players novadays or is it taking so 
long to do a translation in any language now?

[Audyssey] Castaways version 2.1

2011-09-04 Thread Jeremy Kaldobsky
Version 2.1 has been posted.  I wanted to fit more in to this update but I've 
been too busy to get the rest done.  Since this version contains some pretty 
important bug fixes, it seemed worth posting.  This update will hopefully fix 
almost everyone who has been experiencing problems with the regional settings 
bug.  The War tent had a bug that affected the soldiers not showing up, that 
has been fixed.  I've also fixed 2 bugs that could sometimes affect your 
ability to send pikemen or cavalry.  The newly reported bug from Christopher is 
fixed, where it might have taken away too many soldiers after reinforcing a 
friend online.

I went in and made the merchant cart code a little more stable.  It was working 
fine, but I spotted a few places where tampering by people looking to give 
themselves an advantage could have broken it.

The V key gives more information than it used to.  The T key, without shift, no 
longer tells you about people in the Tavern.  Due to changes several versions 
ago, you don't see people in there much anyways so the key was being wasted.  
The new feature is a toggle called territorial.  By default it is turned on.  
When turned on, your soldiers will automatically go out to defend your land 
against intruders.  This sounds familiar because that's how the game has always 
worked.  By pressing T to turn territorial off, you can prevent your soldiers 
from going out to fight.  This is especially useful when you are trying to 
train soldiers since you can't do that if they keep running out and dying 
before you get a chance to train them.

I just realized I put sounds in for opening and closing buildings, but forgot 
to adjust the code!  Haha!  Oh well, i'll get that for the next update.  I did, 
however, add in sounds for each individual building type.  You will not notice 
any difference though, since each sound is just a copy of the default building 
sound I introduced last version.  What I want, is for people to come up with 
sounds that seem to fit each building and submit them.  I keep losing the sound 
guys who volunteer to work on castaways, so I am going to try a different 
approach.  With this task given out to everyone, hopefully some sounds will 
start coming in that will improve the game for everyone.  The sounds for the 
buildings all begin with a capital B, to keep them grouped together in the 
sounds folder.  Replace the game sounds with your own sounds, so that you can 
test them out by playing the game with them.  I think this is a good way to 
find out if a sound really seems to
 fit, and also tells you if the sound will get annoying too fast while you try 
to play the game with it.  lol!

[Audyssey] chess quest in alterean

2011-09-04 Thread dark
Hi. 

Has anyone done the chess quest under gad's landing? 

I've got to the giant board, but whenever I'm there I can't work out how to 
move my pieces. 

I've tried move pawn, move queen etc, but that doesn't work. I've tried b2 b4, 
I've tried say move b2 b4, say move queen, and say b2 b 4 etc, but nothing 
works! 

This is just the sort of thing I hate in if games, where it's clear what you 
have to do, but the stupid commands in the game won't let you do it, and I'm 
reasonably confident if I can actually just work out how to move the bloody 
pieces I can solve the chess puzzle. 

so if anyone's done it, some advice would be appreciated. 

Beware the grue! 

DArk.

My first thought was how easy this turned out to be.  Now, let me unpack
this a bit because there are several factors that went into the ease of my
victory, which was pretty much a foregone conclusion at about six catapults.

 

The trading facilities are extremely powerful.  Having received massive
gifts near the early midgame that allowed me to concentrate on military unit
production, I was easily able to fend off the raiders, even once my own
offensive raiding became of little utility.  I didn't even need a full
complement of soldier types, due I think to some clever wall placements.

 

But I digress.  The merchant cart is I think, too powerful and unbalances
the game.  I'm not suggesting its removal or neutering, it's too cool, but I
think some balancing factors may need to be put in place.  These could
include bandits that randomly attack and take the supplies.  This would
force the merchant to send along a military escort, which would be gone as
long as the merchant and might be killed along with him or her during the
journey there and back.  Having the transfer not be a sure thing and forcing
you to escort it, thus depriving yourself of military forces would balance
this out nicely.

 

The invaders are slow, even cavalry.  I adopted the strategy of placing my
settlement near one map edge, beginning near one corner.  This had the
effect of making most attacks come from very far away, giving me plenty of
time to deal with them even with under strength forces.  I don't know if
they move faster on hard, but on normal, they never got even close to my
settlement, even when my settlement stretched from J6 through something like
T10 and P15.  If walls do, as I suspect, act like guard towers, this is all
the more true.

 

It seems as though maintaining a peasant population roughly 25% of your
adult population throughout the game results in sufficient work getting
done.  This means you are going to build your military slowly, but it also
means you aren't going to starve for want of people to carry food to the
tavern.

 

Building cavalry is annoying.  With 3 wheat farms in production, I had to
close both my mill and my animal farm when I wanted to raise horses.  At 15
wheat per horse, it takes longer to raise cavalry than even knights, which
are the other slow type.  From a realism standpoint I agree with this, but
for game balance, given the relative fragility of cavalry vs. other types,
it feels a little unbalanced.

 

Beware what I think is a large bug.  I sent 4 rangers and 4 pikemen to
another player.  I should have still had six rangers and five pikemen when
all was said and done, but I lost all of them.  The other player only
received the intended reinforcements.  Had this happened earlier in my game,
it would have done me in.

 

So now I've beaten all the missions on normal, so I'll go back and play them
on hard.

Re: [Audyssey] question about the howling wind sounds in level6ofausim

2011-09-04 Thread Jim Kitchen

Hi Lenron,

No, all of my games since 2003 have all been sapi5 games.  Since all computers 
ship free with a sapi5 voice I thought that was the way to go rather than 
trying to support every version of every Windows screen reader out there.  But 
in Awesome Homer the only level that even uses a voice is level 5.  The game is 
all by sounds and not speech.  The sapi5 speech does announce your score after 
you have been knocked out of the game, but that is it.

Hi,
If you try something like open move where move is in letter notation, that 
might work, although since I've never done it myself I'm not sure, and then 
you might try order thing move too.

Hi.

Has anyone done the chess quest under gad's landing?

I've got to the giant board, but whenever I'm there I can't work out how to 
move my pieces.


I've tried move pawn, move queen etc, but that doesn't work. I've tried b2 
b4, I've tried say move b2 b4, say move queen, and say b2 b 4 etc, but 
nothing works!


This is just the sort of thing I hate in if games, where it's clear what you 
have to do, but the stupid commands in the game won't let you do it, and I'm 
reasonably confident if I can actually just work out how to move the bloody 
pieces I can solve the chess puzzle.


so if anyone's done it, some advice would be appreciated.

Beware the grue!

[Audyssey] WWE Superslam

2011-09-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi everyone,

As many of you might remember for the last couple of months or so I've
been working on a text-based wrestling game named WWE: Superslam. Its
similar to the old Dos Piledriver game in concept, but I hope to
improve upon that design as I go along.

Anyway, Tonight I was testing the game and had a very cool wrestling
match I'd like to share with you all. It was a WWE Diva's match
between Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix. It was based on their title
match at Summer Slam, but actually better as I was playing it via the
game.

The game started out with me, playing as Kelly Kelly, and I thought
I'd try and soften Beth Phoenix up with some punches, kicks, and take
her down to the matt with some takedown moves like leg sweeps or an
arm drag. Unfortunately, for me Beth Phoenix managed to get the upper
hand and started handing Kelly Kelly's butt to her. Beth drove a knee
lift into Kelly's face, and then dropped her to the mat with a
spinning powerbomb. From there she basically tossed Kelly Kelly around
the ring like a rag doll with a series of slams, suplexes, and threw
in a few extra kicks and punches here and there for good measure.

Realising I'm like getting nowhere real quick I decided to take a page
out of Eve Torres's playbook and go for some high risk arial moves. As
soon as Kelly manages to escape the beating Beth is giving her I climb
up onto the second rope, and perform a springboard moonsault. Kelly
Kelly moonsault's off the second rope and hits Beth Phoenix like a
cruise missile and Beth crashes to the matt. I then catch Beth Phoenix
in Kelly Kelly's classic victory roll, and pin her for the three
count. That's how the Glamazon crashed and burned. What do you think
about that match, eh?

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] WWE Superslam

2011-09-04 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi John,

I'm not sure what you mean by action genre, but if you mean in real
time like the professional wrestling games I'm not really equipped to
write something like that. The key problem is that the professional
wrestling games you can buy for the Play Station and XBox are written
by commercial companies who can actually afford to higher the WWE
super stars to do cutscenes, higher real time commintators, and have
access to hundreds of wrestling sound effects I simply do not have
access too. Plus have no chance to finance something like that.

That is why I am writing it as a text-based game similar to the Dos
wrestling games back in the 1990's like Piledriver. Its accessible,
but does not require lots of sounds, music, or real time commintary.
However, unlike the Dos games of the 90's I eventually plan to add
some basic sounds, and I use the _getch() function which means if you
press a key you don't have to press enter to get it to accept the
keyboard command etc. Since it is being written for a screen reader
user I obviously have formatted the text and refresh the screen enough
that NVDA, Window-Eyes, etc can read the text fairly decently. Where
with something like Piledriver sometimes I notice it behaves a bit
funky with a screen reader.

Cheers!
