Re: [Audyssey] Top Speed Difficulties in

2012-08-25 Thread Valiant8086

Hi.
this is a common bug that can be fixed by messing around with 3d sound 
and direct sound hardware acceleration. Changing them around will 
eventually bring out a setting that works. It's under game settings.

Hi all.

I dug out Top Speed 3 for a game demonstration and then kept playing
it, because it's really quite a fun game. Then, I wanted to do some
multiplayer stuff. I have Top Speed installed on a laptop running
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and a netbook running Windows XP home,
as updated as they can be. I made sure that both were running the
current version of Direct X as well, just as an added precaution.

Both computers can play the game in single-player mode just fine, but
when I try anything multiplayer, problems crop up. I only have the two
computers with it installed to test, so I can't tell if the problem
lies with one of the machines in particular.

All I know is that both computers host the game fine, either one can
run a server. Either of them can also connect to the server. The
trouble begins once vehicles and track have been selected and the
realtime updates are set to begin. As soon as there is the attempt to
make a realtime connection, one or both computers display an error,
saying that the Top Speed program has stopped working.

I can not seem to localize the problem, and any help or guidance in
this matter would be appreciated.

That's the difficulty that makes multiplayer not work?

[Audyssey] Alter Aeon Updates - August 2012

2012-08-25 Thread Dennis Towne
This month there's been a lot of updates:

- The areas of Mendelius' cave and Qoorik's lair have been updated to
make them less dangerous to solo players.  A lot of new monsters have
been added to the lower levels.

- A lot of new sounds have been added (this probably won't affect you
if you're using Mush-Z.)

- Add sprompt command to display your prompt even if it's turned off.

- Add lecho command to make scripting easier.

- We've added a new channel moderation system to hopefully make
channel moderating more fair and less likely to cause drama.

- Really high level players won't drag down group exp as much as they used to.

- Restarting your character now gives everyone the same fairly young age.

- A new, experimental soulstone market has been added, to allow quick
and easy buying and selling of soulstones.  Use the 'smarket' or
'soulmarket' commands for help and usage.

- Necromancers above level 30 now get alternating int and wis boosts
to stat caps for each level, similar to mages and clerics.

- Make demon familiars a little more powerful with higher soulstone level.

- Open more player shops and improve the shop unsold listings for owners.

- Add 'help search' command, to make specific help pages easier to find.

- You can now buy the ability to use bank commands from anywhere in
the game for 1000 credits.

- Add the 'unfollow' and 'disband' commands to help disband groups.

Happy playing!

Mike,

Yes, we have MSP support.  You can manually enable or disable it with
the 'set msp' command.  It's set up for autodownload so your client
should automatically pull the sounds as required.
