[Audyssey] swamp suggestions and questions
hi jeremy and all. was just wondering is there a weapons specifications list for swamp? as for now when i use a different weapon to shoot zombies, basically i only get to hear a different firing sound for the variety of different weapons. other than the different amount of emmo that each gun can hold at each reload, are there any other differences between them? if not, i would suggest that for the short guns, maybe u can widen the width of the range of fire as in real life, when we fire a shot gun, we do not really have to aim that accurately. besides, a shot from a shot gun can actually harm more than 1 target at 1 time. as for the rifles, since they are rifles, i think they should have a longer range of fire as well. maybe the hunting rifle should have the longest range because it only holds 5 shells at a time so therefore needing to reload more often. what to the other guys here think? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Help with beta project.
Hey, I was wondering if someone could please help me with a game project that I have going? I am working on a iPhone app that will be in beta testing today. The help I need is how to drag and drop files to the iPhone in iTunes on the mac using voice over? If someone could help that would be great. As soon as I test this game app then me and the developer will send it to apple to get on the app store. The app is very accessible as a matter of fact it is a game that is for the blind. I don't want to give any info out right now for the reason it is a game pack with accessible games. That is all I'm saying for now. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Re: [Audyssey] Need a little help from my friends.
If you're recommending to recalabrate the gamebad? I've already tried that. I've even tried with sighted assistance to make sure the sticks were centered. This is why I was asking for some help from my fellow gaming friends. I don't have that much extra funds these days with Physical Therapy twice a week out of my own pocket. So I was hoping someone could test a gamepad with force feedback in it with the TDV flight simulator and could report to me the successes and the failures so that I don't have to continue to but good money into a back gamepad/flightstick. Thanks.

I've even tried to up grade the software with no luck. Can anyone out there help me out to train the right hand stick to go back to the way it should be.

The developer tells me that he is very interested in how we the blind can use computers and IOS devices to play games. I hope when the app that we are working on everyone on here will get it and enjoy it.

Re: [Audyssey] A review of the swamp game by Darren Duff
Hi Jeremy. Well as I said, the only reason I haven't kept up with releases is that I've been worried about playing a game on headphones with reever, so have stuck to none headphone necessary games, especially core exiles. I know now though she's absolutely fine in my flat, can't get into too much mischief and indeed sleeps for significant amounts of time anyway, as well is now much more settled, so I can probably get back to normal as far as game playing goes, which includes giving swamp a try.

Re: [Audyssey] Audiogame developement mailing-list ?
Thomas, if it could help in solving the problem: 1 or 2 years ago, a couple of days or weeks before the list become completely silent, I remember that my posts didn't go through anymore while I still got some messages from other people. I also remember trying to contact you directly to solve the problem, but I never get any response so I gave up after 3 tries. When I say didn't go through anymore, in fact I mean that when I tried to send something, I received a warning after 4-6 hours telling that the message couldn't be delivered to the sender allthough the adress actually existed. It was not the undelivered mail status notifications that we are used to get when we send something to an adress that doesn't exists. We should make a test: who get messages and who don't.

I pressed tab a few times, and then swamp totally crashed. then for some reason, without me pressing the keystroke to do it, the windows task manager popped open, and I found it very difficult to close it. any chance support for jaws could please be added? as I hate sapi, and would rather use jaws when possible. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Ron, I don't know how to fix your problem. As I said I haven't experienced any problems with my Logitech F510 myself, and am not quite sure what happened with your unit. As for the Wii the console itself isn't very accessible, but I've read there is code examples for C/C++ developer to write custom PC drivers for the Wii-motes.So if an accessible developer wanted to create accessible games supporting the Wii motes it is possible. However, for the gamer it is a bit of an expensive investment getting all the equipment required to use the Wii-motes with the PC. Cheers!

Hi list. I guess this question has been asked before, but is there a way I can play swamp without the mouse?

I just had a thought, perhaps alt and the arrow keys could be added in to allow for navigation with the keyboard. so alt and up could move you forward, alt and down could move you back, and alt left and right could side step you. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp suggestions and questions
Well it has been somewhat of an unofficial secret, but since this topic has come up I might as well share. The Grenade in the next update is going to be a rare and extra powerful item. In many games, grenades are commonly used as if they are just another weapon but in Swamp they will special. The server will make sure that only a set number of them ever appear in a map since the grenades will actually have the power to destroy the environment! If you throw a grenade against the side of the Kai Mart, for example, the resulting explosion will permanently create a hole big enough to serve as a new doorway.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
Here's what I did, my concerns were the same. Go into your mouse properties, and set the speed to 0%. Play the game (your turning will be *very* slow). As you play, keep changing the mouse speed/sensitivity until you like the way it works. You can not click outside of the window, a feature I'm absolutely in love with. After a while, it really grew on me. *- Original Message - From: alex wallis alexwallis...@googlemail.com To: gamers@audyssey.org Date sent: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:14:31 + Subject: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp Hi list.

The Grenade in the next update is going to be a rare and extra powerful item. In many games, grenades are commonly used as if they are just another weapon but in Swamp they will special. The server will make sure that only a set number of them ever appear in a map since the grenades will actually have the power to destroy the environment!

Re: [Audyssey] legalized speech - Re: Possible MOTA Features
Hi, Unfortunately, I don't know any more than I've already said. Yes, there was a SAPI 4 compatible version of Eloquence available, but I'm not sure if it is still being sold/licensed. Last I heard Kurzweil 3000 still ships withe the generic SAPI 4 version of Eloquence, but it has been sometime since I have actually checked out that software. What I do know for sure is that the company that owns Eloquence---I want to say it is Speech Works---has changed the license agreement for newer versions of Eloquence which prohibit version 6 of being used with any application not specifically licensed for the product. Most accessible applications such as Jaws, Window-Eyes, Openbook, all have specific licenses with Speech Works to support and use Eloquence. So I don't know where Speech Works stands on the older generic SAPI 4 version that came with IBM Viavoice etc. My guess is if you have it you can use it, but keep in mind its a 32-bit app and uses SAPI 4, not SAPI 5, so usage on Windos 7 and beyond might be problematic. I haven't tried it myself so am not too clear on backwards compatibility with SAPI 4 on Windows 7. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
Yes this is definitely a question that has been asked a lot, lol. I have the game coded so that you can't accidentally move the mouse outside of the game's window, in fact, the mouse cursor stays perfectly centered on the screen and can not move while the game is running. While it would be possible for the current Swamp game to have keyboard support, I am choosing not to add it. If the support exists, then I will be constantly limited as I add and change controls and map content. Juggling 2 totally different ways to play is more trouble than it's worth, since I am actually wanting people to use a mouse in this game. If I was neutral about it and didn't really care which was used, I would be willing to bend a little more in order to maintain separate keyboard support. Clearly people will not all agree with my pro mouse stance for Swamp, and I do apologize for those who are unhappy with it, but I'm kind of trying to hold my ground in order to establish the mouse as a valid input method. If given any other choice, I think most people wouldn't even give the mouse a chance. By forcing people to use the mouse, I have a feeling many people have grown to like it. In short, I'm totally being a jerk with the controls, just to force people to try something they don't want to try, haha! I can admit it. Hi list. I guess this question has been asked before, but is there a way I can play swamp without the mouse?

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
It worked with me, congrats. The game is quite a bit more fluid than many things I've played. - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Date sent: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 11:20:32 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp Yes this is definitely a question that has been asked a lot, lol. I have the game coded so that you can't accidentally move the mouse outside of the game's window, in fact, the mouse cursor stays perfectly centered on the screen and can not move while the game is running. While it would be possible for the current Swamp game to have keyboard support, I am choosing not to add it. If the support exists, then I will be constantly limited as I add and change controls and map content. Juggling 2 totally different ways to play is more trouble than it's worth, since I am actually wanting people to use a mouse in this game. If I was neutral about it and didn't really care which was used, I would be willing to bend a little more in order to maintain separate keyboard support. Clearly people will not all agree with my pro mouse stance for Swamp, and I do apologize for those who are unhappy with it, but I'm kind of trying to hold my ground in order to establish the mouse as a valid input method. If given any other choice, I think most people wouldn't even give the mouse a chance. By forcing people to use the mouse, I have a feeling many people have grown to like it.

I realise that the mouse is more accurate than keyboard navigation, however I am playing on a laptop, and so only have a track pad. also, I can easily see myself clicking outside the window and opening other stuff on the computer, plus, I guess I am just lazy and would rather use the keyboard. perhaps some alternative keystrokes could be added such as control for firing your gun etc, of course I guess movement will be a bit of a problem given the arrow keys control radar functions, but I would really rather use the keyboard for navigation and firing of weapons. I just had a thought, perhaps alt and the arrow keys could be added in to allow for navigation with the keyboard. so alt and up could move you forward, alt and down could move you back, and alt left and right could side step you. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] legalized speech - Re: Possible MOTA Features
Hi Charles, Perhaps, but its just another way to attempt to get the customer to pay for the same product over and over again. You buy Jaws the price of Eloquence is included in the sale. If you buy Openbook that too has another license for Eloquence meaning you just purchased the same sinth twice. If you go and buy the speech enabled version of Magic you just paid for the sinth for a third time.I think Speech Works is making quite a lot of money on that speech engine, because state agencies are all too happy to buy Jaws, Openbook, Magic, etc for their clients and pay for the same speech engine over and over again. Not that they really have a choice. Freedom Scientific, GW Micro, etc include the cost of the license for the voices as part of the sale so everyone ends up paying for it weather they want to or not. So I don't think they are losing any money or sleep over their end user license. Plus when you get down to it Speech Works happens to have a product that is well liked. A lot of people I know agree with me that the voices for Eloquence aren't that great, but they love the low memory footprint, the fact it is fast and responsive, and it usually is pretty clear when it is speeded up. So even if GW Micro, Freedom Scientific, etc offered a version of their products without Eloquence I'm not sure people would go for it since the RealSpeak Direct voices, for example, sound better but are a lot more sluggish for day to day use. So many customers might end up willing to pay a little extra for Eloquence anyway regardless of the user license. I myself am on a tight budget so my wife and I have cut way back on spending. Especially, in the matter of software. Now that NVDA is out, has become fairly decent, I've gotten use to using that for day to day work rather than blowing a few hundred on SMA agreements for Jaws or Window-Eyes. Frankly I can't afford it any more, and I'm not sorry to give up Eloquence myself. For me its not worth it to continue feeding companies like Speech Works money to maintain their proprietary licenses, because its not fair to me or anyone else to continue paying for the same software over and over again.

Re: [Audyssey] legalized speech - Re: Possible MOTA Features
Hi, I'm honestly not surprised. Remember SAPI 4 was originally written for Windows 98 era operating systems and software. That's like 13 years ago. In terms of computer software its ancient. Microsoft's SAPI 5 API was a complete rewrite for Windows XP, and has been steadily upgraded along with the operating systems. The current version SAPI 5.4 ships as a core component of Windows 7, and is obviously the version we should be using for Windows 7 games and applications.There are a lot of low-level API changes such as ssml for tagging speech to insert natural pauses, changes in pitch, changes in volume, etc during speech output. For instance if someone writes a book and tags it with xml or ssml Microsoft Anna 5.4 will be able to act upon those instructions like raise the volume to yell or lower her voice to whisper as she is reading. Its rather cool some of the things you can do with the newer SAPI 5.3/5.4 voices on the fly. volume level='100' I am yelling! volume level ='50' I am wispering. I hope nobody hears me. pitch middle='5' I am really excited! pitch middle='-5' I am feeling board. Like I said that is really cool stuff. Anna isn't the best voice, but I noticed the new Cepstral 5.2 voices respond well to xml and ssml tagged documents. Callie does a pretty good job of simulating human speech when books etc are properly tagged and you read them using the Swift program that comes with the Cepstral 5.2 voices. So I don't know why anyone would really want to go back to SAPI 4 voices in the first place. As you said they weren't really that good over all, and compatibility has now become an issue on newer ops. Its time to move on to bigger and better things. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
hey jeremy, good for you man. i sent the idea up the flagpole of forcing users to use only a mouse with rail racer, and got such a massive negative response, i ended up putting in the option for keyboard support, even though the keyboard input isn't as accurate, or frankly in my opinion, as fun. i applaud your decision here, its not like a mouse is going to break anyones bank, and almost all computer systems come with one anyhow. Hopefully more AG gamers and developers will realize the mouse is a great way to interact with our games and it will soon be the norm instead of the exception. for you folks out there not playing swamp because you don't want to break out a mouse, your seriously missing potentially the game of the year.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp

As for accuracy, it depends on your playing style. I'm trying not to go crazy with characters, but currently I have three, with 65%, 45%, and 40% respectively.

It may be my imagination, but weapons seem to do more damage the closer you are to a target.

Re: [Audyssey] legalized speech - Re: Possible MOTA Features
Hi Thomas, I thought Speech Works did no longer exist, meaning that Eloquence was no part of Nuance or Scansoft. Furthermore I also thought at least the IBM versions of the voices were now also available as SAPI 5.1 versions at least, thus I thought the original Eloquence would also be available in some SAPI 5 form. But due to a general lack of easily available information I might be mistaken. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Need a little help from my friends.
Hi Ron, When we ran tests together a few weeks ago, I wasn't aware that this problem has happened in multiple games. This seems to be a defect with the controller itself, since games depend on input data from the stick to operate. The games actually have no idea in which direction you are moving the stick; it is up to the hardware to tell the games this information. I suspect that you have a defective device. If there is warranty on the device, you may want to consider exchanging it. Munawar A.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
For me, the track pad wasn't a good method as I kept accidentally firing. I prefer my trusty $20 usb wireless mouse, and would never go back to keyboard controls.

Re: [Audyssey] legalized speech - Re: Possible MOTA Features
Actually tom, some of those sapi 5.4 things sound really quite nice, possibly the first positive change I've heard with windows 7 yet :D. Actually a friend of mine who had a degree in computer science was speculating about such tags back in 2003, and now of course ms have proved her right and done it. So, even if I will have to lose realspeak daniel (who according to nuance I probably shouldn't have reading sapi applications anyway), getting a new voice could actually give some bennifits too which is good. As to sapi four, the only game I ever saw which used sapi four was blind man's bluff. As I remember that game was less than steller, in fact I don't even think it was as good as acefire, so why would you want to use sapi four anyway? Beware the grue!

[Audyssey] rail racer, was: Re: question about input methods for swamp
Hey christopher, Hold off on getting the demo of RR. i've got a couple glitches to work out of rail racer that will allow a new demo that works properly with modern 64 bit win7 systems, as well as allows you to make and race your own tracks with a brand new track editor. also, it won't require updating your framework, or installing direct x etc. which was a major pain with the original version. i had hoped to have it out earlier this year, but I added new games to the card room, and we've had a lot of people join, which means time taken up with tech support, and time is at a premium when your a one band operation. anyhow, i'll update the list when the new RR full version and demo are ready to check out. later che On 11/14/2011 3:09 PM, Christopher Bartlett wrote: For me, the track pad wasn't a good method as I kept accidentally firing.

The Grenade in the next update is going to be a rare and extra powerful item. In many games, grenades are commonly used as if they are just another weapon but in Swamp they will special. The server will make sure that only a set number of them ever appear in a map since the grenades will actually have the power to destroy the environment! If you throw a grenade against the side of the Kai Mart, for example, the resulting explosion will permanently create a hole big enough to serve as a new doorway. The changes to the map will affect everyone, and the map will repair only once all missions are complete and the map naturally resets itself. This is the plan anyway and I do reserve the right to change my mind if it becomes too difficult to prevent people from abusing the feature. Lol! Well ok then maybe just a few things here and there?

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
For me, who has always been an arcade joystick fan even the keyboard took some getting used to! I hate joypads with a passion after trying for many years, but I just cannot cope with the hole business of using only your thumb for most of the buttons! I don't know if it's my typing, my playing of instruments like piano and flute that make extensive use of all! fingers, but the hole methodology behind joypad holding I've just not got at all, and that's after trying right back to the days when we first got our snes. Thus, when i began playing games on the pc, while a million miles better than a joypad the keyboard took significant getting used to, indeed i used to get finger ache from using the curser keys. now however, I'm extremely! happy with the key board, so much so I haven't even bothered buying the usb adapter for my x arcade joystick to plug into the pc, though it deffinately has one. So personally I'm all in favour of trying the mouse. it'll stil take getting used to, but is a long way from impossible, afterall if I'd stuck to my comfort zone I'd have never played pc games on the keyboard at all! And whatever way I think of it, the mouse is better than a joypad, heck for me, playing a game with my nose would be better than a joypad :D. Beware the grue!

The games are text base games that does work with voice over on the IOS. The app will have sounds. You can say that it will be a blast from the past. I think that when the app is ready for release and I give the name of the app then everyone will be wanting to go get the fre app for themselves.

Re: [Audyssey] New app is coming for the blind gamers.
Hey, yes it will be release in all countries unless apple gets crazy about the app. I have seen apple take and not let a app get release for stupid reasons. But however if apple does not release the app it will still b availble to any one that wants it. And the great thing about this you will not have to jailbreak your IOS devices. But lets hope that apple will let this app through. I will say this the app is looking good so far. I will be getting a newer version tomorrow from the person who is doing the programing for me. And hopefully the version I'll get will be good enough to be release.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
Jeremy, can you add a way to walk forward with the keyboard though? We will still require the mouse to aim and fire. The problem is mac touch pads can't right click, Hitting alt to walk instead, for that situation, would be very nice. And I don't think it's giving up on your stance, as aiming with cardinal directions just won't cut it. Actually I can do it but I still prefer my touch pad for that. It would help me even on my hp computer because I can't right and left click at the same time do to the way my touch pad is designed. I mentioned that a few emails ago. If you touch the bottom left corner of the touch pad while holding down the bottom right corner you fire your weapon and stop walking, even though you aren't pressing down the bottom left side. This is because the touch pad uses it's touch sensor to figure out which button you want to click left or right, and only has one physical button located under the pad, at the very bottom of it in the center. It seems to check left click first, then right. If you touch left side but have it pressed down with right, it thinks you're left clicking and totally ignores the right click. Also, do you know a way to cheat and disable tap to click without doing it manually in your touch pad settings? I need tap to click to be on to turn my touch pad on and off, since I have to touch the top left corner of it twice quickly to do that and turning off tap to click disables that ability. I can manually turn my touch pad off but it comes back on after I restart my computer and I have to manually turn it off once again. If swamp could somehow ignore tap to click that would sure be nice. Actually that would probably fix the fire on touch problem with touch screens too, although I think it still won't turn.

[Audyssey] Mouse tips for swamp and other games
hey all, I wanted to share some tips for you all that may be new to mouse control. some players of RR complained they didn't have enough surface area for their mouse, but usually the problem is they weren't picking up the mouse and resetting it properly. This kind of thing is taken for granted by those that have used the mouse for years, but isn't instinctive if you've never picked up a mouse before. I play swamp with my mouse on my keyboard slide out stand, with the mouse to the right of the keyboard, and i literally have less than 2 inches of space to either side of the mouse. This is what works for me, your mileage may vary: When holding the mouse, keep your thumb and pinky on the sides of the mouse, so you can easily pick it up by lifting your thumb. The pinky doesn't lift up, it just acts as the axis of rotation when the mouse is tilted, in fact when i do it, the right edge of the mouse never loses contact with the table surface. This will tilt the mouse up, allowing you to slide the mouse left or right without the virtual cursor actually moving. you can then put the mouse back down, and continue moving it, repeat as necessary. so for instance, if i wanted to do a 180 in swamp, i may need to move the mouse a total of six inches. assuming the mouse is in the center of my little area, i slide the mouse right 2 inches, tilt it up, move it back to the left 4 inches, place it back down, and then to the right 4 inches. Then i reset it back to the center, so i'm ready to rotate either direction if a baddie pops up. i keep my wrist planted on the keyboard stand the whole time, so my arm does not move. this takes some practice, but if your new to the mouse, fire up swamp, and just practice this technique by checking your heading with the w key, and see if you can nail going from north to east back and forth for a bit.after a few minutes, you'll get the hang of it, and you'll be blowing away the undead in no time. also, although i haven't had to modify my mouse sensitivity on this system, you can do so in your control panel so you don't have to move the mouse as far, or go the other way if it rotates you more quickly than you like. i assume this will adjust sensitivity in swamp unless jeremy is overiding the control panel in game. There is a mouse sensitivity option in RR, so you can set it in game, something jeremy might consider, though as i said, on this system i liked the default responsiveness. also, having the rotation wheel and button for changing weapons would be awesome, as would having an .ini file to set our own keyboard commands. I know i have mentioned this before, but jeremy has a very very thick skull, so i'm gonna keep pounding on that nail until it taps his brain, mooahahhah.

Then i reset it back to the center, so i'm ready to rotate either direction if a baddie pops up. i keep my wrist planted on the keyboard stand the whole time, so my arm does not move. this takes some practice, but if your new to the mouse, fire up swamp, and just practice this technique by checking your heading with the w key, and see if you can nail going from north to east back and forth for a bit.after a few minutes, you'll get the hang of it, and you'll be blowing away the undead in no time. also, although i haven't had to modify my mouse sensitivity on this system, you can do so in your control panel so you don't have to move the mouse as far, or go the other way if it rotates you more quickly than you like. i assume this will adjust sensitivity in swamp unless jeremy is overiding the control panel in game. There is a mouse sensitivity option in RR, so you can set it in game, something jeremy might consider, though as i said, on this system i liked the default responsiveness. also, having the rotation wheel and button for changing weapons would be awesome, as would having an .ini file to set our own keyboard commands. I know i have mentioned this before, but jeremy has a very very thick skull, so i'm gonna keep pounding on that nail until it taps his brain, mooahahhah.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
Hi Dark, Ouch! You definately seem to have a serious grudge against gamepads. Lol! As for myself I am totally the opposite. I love gamepads, prefer them over a keyboard, and generally play games like Mysteries of the Ancients exclusively using my Logitech F510 gamepad. So that is my personal comfort zone. I suppose the reason for that is I got hooked on gamepads when Nintendo introduced them with the original NES. I could use my left thumb to move around using the POV hat, and the right thumb to press the A and B buttons. Essentially, modern gamepads like the F510 aren't that much different accept for the fact there are 10 to 12 buttons to choose from now plus a variety of extra controls available depending on gamepad make and model. In any case I just find gamepads way more flexable than a keyboard. Especially, when it comes to adding special moves that can't easily be performed on a keyboard. For instance, in a game like Double Dragon you might push the POV hat up while pressing the fire button to deliver an uppercut. Push down and fire to deliver a jab to the stomach. Press up with fire and jump to deliver a flying kick. I suppose the same could be accomplished on the keyboard, but doesn't seem as natural to me. Cheers!

Thus, when i began playing games on the pc, while a million miles better than a joypad the keyboard took significant getting used to, indeed i used to get finger ache from using the curser keys. now however, I'm extremely! happy with the key board, so much so I haven't even bothered buying the usb adapter for my x arcade joystick to plug into the pc, though it deffinately has one. So personally I'm all in favour of trying the mouse. it'll stil take getting used to, but is a long way from impossible, afterall if I'd stuck to my comfort zone I'd have never played pc games on the keyboard at all! And whatever way I think of it, the mouse is better than a joypad, heck for me, playing a game with my nose would be better than a joypad :D. Beware the grue!

The server will make sure that only a set number of them ever appear in a map since the grenades will actually have the power to destroy the environment! If you throw a grenade against the side of the Kai Mart, for example, the resulting explosion will permanently create a hole big enough to serve as a new doorway. The changes to the map will affect everyone, and the map will repair only once all missions are complete and the map naturally resets itself. This is the plan anyway and I do reserve the right to change my mind if it becomes too difficult to prevent people from abusing the feature. Lol! Well ok then maybe just a few things here and there?

Hi Darren, Yep. I hear you there. Far too many blind gamers are stuck in their little comfort zones, and while they complain there aren't that many accessible mainstream games available any time someone like Jeremy starts adding mainstream features like mouse support they wine and complain about it. If they truly want accesible games of a mainstream quality they are going to have to get out of their comfort zones and learn to use a mouse, joystick, and other alternative game controllers besides the keyboard for a change.

Re: [Audyssey] legalized speech - Re: Possible MOTA Features
that is the reason I started with dolphin products. They don't push you to upgrade unless you need it. Upgrades have cost a lot but you get what you pay for. I got 2.0 first then 4.5 because of the new voice synth then 5.0 because of windows support. then 5.2 because of dcm. I stayed there for like 6 years and got 12 this year for win7 support, vocaliser support and well the free daisy reader was a big reason I purchaced that version. I remember getting jaws and then having to buy it again because of the fact I needed to run on a profesional os. With all its issues though eloquence is used everywhere, and the nuance one I use on my phone sounds a lot better than the jaws ones. We have espeak ofcause but some just don't like that even though its opensource. I have vocaliser which is like realspeak but some don't even like that and its sluggish, well on any loder system below duelcore that is on newer boxes it shouldn't be a major issue. At 02:37 p.m. 14/11/2011 -0500, you wrote: Hi Charles, Perhaps, but its just another way to attempt to get the customer to pay for the same product over and over again. You buy Jaws the price of Eloquence is included in the sale. If you buy Openbook that too has another license for Eloquence meaning you just purchased the same sinth twice. If you go and buy the speech enabled version of Magic you just paid for the sinth for a third time.I think Speech Works is making quite a lot of money on that speech engine, because state agencies are all too happy to buy Jaws, Openbook, Magic, etc for their clients and pay for the same speech engine over and over again. Not that they really have a choice. Freedom Scientific, GW Micro, etc include the cost of the license for the voices as part of the sale so everyone ends up paying for it weather they want to or not. So I don't think they are losing any money or sleep over their end user license. Plus when you get down to it Speech Works happens to have a product that is well liked. A lot of people I know agree with me that the voices for Eloquence aren't that great, but they love the low memory footprint, the fact it is fast and responsive, and it usually is pretty clear when it is speeded up. So even if GW Micro, Freedom Scientific, etc offered a version of their products without Eloquence I'm not sure people would go for it since the RealSpeak Direct voices, for example, sound better but are a lot more sluggish for day to day use. So many customers might end up willing to pay a little extra for Eloquence anyway regardless of the user license. I myself am on a tight budget so my wife and I have cut way back on spending. Especially, in the matter of software. Now that NVDA is out, has become fairly decent, I've gotten use to using that for day to day work rather than blowing a few hundred on SMA agreements for Jaws or Window-Eyes. Frankly I can't afford it any more, and I'm not sorry to give up Eloquence myself. For me its not worth it to continue feeding companies like Speech Works money to maintain their proprietary licenses, because its not fair to me or anyone else to continue paying for the same software over and over again.

And the ms ones have effects like hall, space, etc. There are also robot voices which sound rather cool. THere is good quality lh voices, eloquence, viavoice, etc. On sapi 5 its all gone a bit backwards, low quality voices are mostly crap or not liked.

In terms of computer software its ancient. Microsoft's SAPI 5 API was a complete rewrite for Windows XP, and has been steadily upgraded along with the operating systems. The current version SAPI 5.4 ships as a core component of Windows 7, and is obviously the version we should be using for Windows 7 games and applications.There are a lot of low-level API changes such as ssml for tagging speech to insert natural pauses, changes in pitch, changes in volume, etc during speech output. For instance if someone writes a book and tags it with xml or ssml Microsoft Anna 5.4 will be able to act upon those instructions like raise the volume to yell or lower her voice to whisper as she is reading. Its rather cool some of the things you can do with the newer SAPI 5.3/5.4 voices on the fly. volume level='100' I am yelling! volume level ='50' I am wispering. I hope nobody hears me. pitch middle='5' I am really excited! pitch middle='-5' I am feeling board. Like I said that is really cool stuff. Anna isn't the best voice, but I noticed the new Cepstral 5.2 voices respond well to xml and ssml tagged documents. Callie does a pretty good job of simulating human speech when books etc are properly tagged and you read them using the Swift program that comes with the Cepstral 5.2 voices. So I don't know why anyone would really want to go back to SAPI 4 voices in the first place.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
Hi, The gaming mice are actually quite nice. The Logitech one I purchased for testing with my games has 8 buttons, and has a special grip for extra comfort. It has force feedback, and seems to take quite a beating. I'd highly recommend getting a gaming mouse for serious game play. Especially, if the game supports a gaming mouse and all the buttons.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
I started with a stick but a mouse is more compact. Yes its definately something I am really thinking about. With your logitech did you have any issue accessing the software at all. Good gaming mice are usually 120-150 bucks as compaired to the sticks that can be double that or more pluss I really don't have the space for much more than a mouse sized object.

Re: [Audyssey] legalized speech - Re: Possible MOTA Features
Hi Michael, As I said I told you what I know. If what you say is true I haven't heard about it. Last I knew Eloquence was owned by Speech Works. If they are out of business etc that's news to me. I haven't seen a SAPI 5 compatible version of Eloquence, but that doesn't mean such a thing does not exist. Just I am unaware of it. Guess I'll have to do some research on the topic. On 11/14/11, Michael Gauler michael.gau...@gmx.de wrote: Hi Thomas, I thought Speech Works did no longer exist, meaning that Eloquence was no part of Nuance or Scansoft. Furthermore I also thought at least the IBM versions of the voices were now also available as SAPI 5.1 versions at least, thus I thought the original Eloquence would also be available in some SAPI 5 form. But due to a general lack of easily available information I might be mistaken. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] podyssey
Hi all. After waiting for a little bit, checking forums, etc. Taking into concideration the comments on my voice, where to put things as far as files go and other things on here. I have decided to shelve the podyssey cast at least with me doing it. Last night I checked the forums where I was sure there would be intrest. my 3 post podcast post was still a 3 post cast with only slj showing interest at all. I assume that since discussion is no longer on here and that only 11 people have interest at all, and since nothing much was really done that no one is interested anymore. If someone wants to actually do this then whatever. If you want help so be it but 11 people well is a start but if it its not going to go much further then there is no real point. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] legalized speech - Re: Possible MOTA Features
Hi, Oh, I wouldn't say that. There are decent SAPI 5 voices as well. They just don't come with Windows like the SAPI 4 voices did. The Cepstral voices, for example, have similar effects to make the voices sound robotic, add echo, etc so that feature is still available in SAPI 5. As I recall an application can add those special effects simply by providing SAPI 5 with the proper xml or ssml tags. Its just Microsoft decided not to have default special effects presets with the SAPI 5 versions of Mike, Mary, Sam, and Anna like they did for the SAPI 4 voices. So let's not blame SAPI 5 itself for not having feature x. Its there, but may or may not be active in voice x. Plus I've looked at the Windows 8 beta. The new SAPI 5 voices that come for the OS for Narrater are better than what comes with Vista and Windows 7. They are based on the SAPI 5.5 API which has some nifty extras for more specific control over speech output via ssml tags. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] legalized speech - Re: Possible MOTA Features
Hi, Yeah. Well, like I said, I think the ssml and xml tagging to force SAPI 5.4 compatible voices to make proper real time changes on the fly in documents very cool. You can even have it switch voices on the fly while reading a document too. The only problem is, of course, not every application has been updated to the new API so the ability to do that may very.

So, even if I will have to lose realspeak daniel (who according to nuance I probably shouldn't have reading sapi applications anyway), getting a new voice could actually give some bennifits too which is good. As to sapi four, the only game I ever saw which used sapi four was blind man's bluff.

You can add the effects with the Cepstral Tools program you get anytime you install aCepstral voice.

And the ms ones have effects like hall, space, etc. There are also robot voices which sound rather cool. THere is good quality lh voices, eloquence, viavoice, etc. On sapi 5 its all gone a bit backwards, low quality voices are mostly crap or not liked. There are voices for win8 on the firums well a demo file on audiogames and they sound rather nice. Then again there are people that hate anna and I don't. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp

You would have to use the control panel to adjust it. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
