Re: [Audyssey] using dosbox
Hi Jacob, The problem with the windows command prompt , particularly on 64-bit Windows, is that it can not execute and run older 8-bit and 16-bit applications and games. There is the reason Josh is trying to run them under true dos such as inside a virtual machine or a Dos emulator like Dosbox. Certain apps and games simply will not run on a modern Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer which sort of bites. However, I have found a much easier solution than the one he uses which works for me.

Re: [Audyssey] using dosbox
Thomas, sorry, but, am actually talking about launching that VMWare instance of dos, firing up windows 3.1 inside it, and then actually launching the dos terminal window from inside windows 3.1, and then launch ASAP inside that terminal window, while window eyes is still running in windows 3.1 itself - just seems that sound is handled slightly better via virtual sound card if windows 3.1 launches it's rendition of a terminal window, as opposed to just launching ASAP directly from the bootup command prompt. Trust me, I am only too aware that command prompt under windows 7 64 bit doesn't handle much in terms of backward compatibility - for prior implementations of backward compatibility would run a windows XP 32 bit VMWare image on this same machine, but, this other one handles some even older things still slightly better.

Hi Dark, I agree that kind of individualized crew command would work for a starship game as well as for a standard ship game.

Re: [Audyssey] A rare one from me: an idea for a game based on Castaways and Lone Wolf
Hi Milos, I get that. I guess my last message wasn't clear as to what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is very detailed specifics on game mechanics of how it works rather than just a generic outline of the game. For example, each crewmen on the ship has to have a job or a number of jobs that falls in his or her jurisdiction. If so what tasks will each crewmen carry out. If one is an engineer what would he or she do besides standing around in the engine room drinking cups of coffee playing poker with the other engineers? If a crewmen happens to be a weapons tech responsible for loading and arming missiles and torpedoes in a combat situation what does that crewmen do while not in a combat situation? How many engineers, communication techs, weapons techs, etc are required for any specific job? My point here is that there is lots to think about and all you have done to this point is give me a very broad outline for a game but have not talked about the sorts of details one would need in order to code it. That's the difference between ideas and coding them. There are mechanics of how it is all suppose to work, good or bad consequences if this or that happens, and a lot of details are required to make something that actually works. To give you an idea take Castaways. A hunter brings back a new kill every so many ticks. The kind of details therefore a developer would need to know is how many ticks should elapse between a new kill, how long it will take for someone to skin it, etc before it can be cooked. The same sort of concept holds true for your ship game. If there are engine troubles how long will it take for your crew of engineers to fix it. What is a reasonable amount of time to elapse between engine problems and resolution. It is those sorts of details a developer needs before he or she can begin coding a game. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] A rare one from me: an idea for a game based onCastaways and Lone Wolf
Hi Tom. It would all depend upon the mechanics of how your game worked over all, what sort of timings were involved and what the crew were needed for. In a game like Lone wolf, or for that matter most starship games we have, you do something, it happens pretty instantly, ie, on the next turn for turn based games, or immediately for realtime games like lone wolf. Thus, in most games the crew just serve the function they do in something like smugglers, core exiles or star traders, ie they give percentage bonuses to turn based battles. What I think however Milo was suggesting here was something a little more like castaways, where your orders were not obeyed instantly and just like in a real ship you had to assign crew to perform them, with the more crew you assign changing the efficiency of the task. For example, in napoleonic war era navy ships, you were pretty limited in battle, sinse you needed three men loading each gun (and some of the larger ships had upwards of 120 guns), as well as other crewmen carrying around important things like gunpouder, balls, wadding for the cannons, barrels of water both for making sure the cannon barrels didn't melt and for giving the men a drink. thus, a captain could only get a full broadside going by dedicating most of the crew to the task, there would be no way to hoist full sales or repel boarders at the same time, (even hoisting half of the sales would mean a good fewer guns were manned). Naval Battles indeed usually came down to first maneuvering into the best possible position, ie, where most of the cannons along the side of your ship would hit the enemy while the enemy was hopefully face on to you, and then sitting the ship still (or near as was possible on the open sea), and pounding away. I could imagine a naval game similar to castaways working on this model, where you have to assign different members of crew to different tasks according to what you were trying to achieve, with the art of the game being able to respond quickly to say changing from maneuvering to gunnery to ship repare after battle, working on the pumps, hoisting different rigs of sales depending upon the whether and the course required and navigation, keeping the ship clean to avoid disease etc. it'd take a lot of working out of the numbers, but the need to vary your stratogy and judge what was happening would make for something addictive. With a starship the mechanics would need a little more thinking out, possibly with micro managing a smaller group of people in more detail, sinse after all the enterprise doesn't need three weapons officers on it's phasers, indeed watching startrek I sometimes got the impression that most of the crew basically were only busy when there was damage to the ship to repare or some policing duties to be done, or if they were attractive and female and there weren't enough pretty aliens on Captain Kirk's latest mission :D. All the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A rare one from me: an idea for a game based on Castaways and Lone Wolf
Hi Tom, As for the time, it would depend on the developer's research and his way of programming. You would have supplies that gradually burn away: food, fresh water, fuel etc. You have the automatic professions as cooks like in Castaways, may be even signalmen and sonar crew, then you have parts of the crew you set parameters and they perform them until you change them or they have to change because something happens in the game, such as engineers. For example, you set the corse and speed, but the ship finds an enemy and you want to get to the full speed to engage it, so you command them to do that. Or the ship gets hit and you command them to find the damage on the engines and then to repair it etc. And finally, there are those who have to be commanded every time manually such as weapons crew. Prepare, load, aim, fire. But in the meantime they are idle and, well, just spend resources. Of course, there should be the speed parameter too, so that you can't command the engine crew to set at full speed and remain that way forever, because there is so called cruising speed that is some 30-40% less than the full speed, but spends 50-60% less fuel, so when you go at full speed you burn your fuel faster, and at cruising speed you travel more for the same energy. Then when the ship is, say, at 20% of the available resources there is a warning and the player should call or find a supply ship or a friendly port to replenish. If the ship is available to embark helicopters or is even an aircraft carrier, there would be the aviation control. The dedicated crew would be instructed to and a number of aircraft determined by the player would take off, so the ship's attack, defence and search would be widenned, but on the other hand the player shouldn't forget to instruct the crew to refuel and replenish the aircraft before the takeoff or after landing back. When the ship is hit, the firemen crew is instructed to neutralize fire at the hit part of the ship, and the facilities on that ship's part would malfunction or function with less quality or efficacy: water penetration reduces speed, but the player shouldn't forget to command the engineers to lower the speed or water would penetrate more quickly, some random crew would be lost, weapons could malfunction and the weapons' crew could remain idle, but as all the crew on a ship is trained to work on neutralizing fire and helping in situations when the ship is hit, the weapons' crew can then take jobs of the firemen, so when they help the firemen the number of ticks to repair the damages is reduced. It would be very complicated as a project even to imagine, but as I said before, the concepts already exist in various games. I hope that I was more detailed this time in terms of game mechanics and how things work. I am glad that you are interested in the idea, so if you have more questions regarding this, ask away. :) Best!

Re: [Audyssey] using dosbox
I agree tom its why I have a 32 bit os with 4gb ram but this may be my last 32 bit os. Sadly while I have a linux machine pulling out another unit to play dos games when I have only the space for 1 unit is just not going to work till I get something like a vm machine which doesn't run vms slowly as heck. I think our best hope is dosbox or something like it in theory we should be able to run sound based dos games as long as we know what to push and on exiting the emulator closes itself but screenreaders hmmm. A lot of the older ones never used software speech, and we will need a software speech emulator to run it all. At 12:32 a.m. 5/01/2015, you wrote: Hi Jacob, The problem with the windows command prompt , particularly on 64-bit Windows, is that it can not execute and run older 8-bit and 16-bit applications and games.

Certain apps and games simply will not run on a modern Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer which sort of bites. However, I have found a much easier solution than the one he uses which works for me.

Re: [Audyssey] using dosbox
the issue jakob is 64 bit windows will not run 16 bit dos games or 16 bit anything because 64 bit cpus can't process 16 bit data! Ms took dos emulation out of windows 64 bit which is why at least on the systems with 4gb or less the maximum the 32 bit standard can handle that I am running a 32 bit os. dos games run to an extent with nvda its not perfect but they do run. I have 7 though so who knows. as security gets more and more harder to handle some of these older programs may not run as well as they used to.

Re: [Audyssey] sound in dos
well windows card should be ok in most cases josh you need to set a blaster variable, if you look round for soundblaster16 configs for autoexec dot bat files you may find it. you will also need a sound setting for the path to your drivers and you may have to search for and install soundblaster drivers there are sb2 drivers somewhere on the net because I saw them. However a lot of the newer systems and thats most of them don't have fm midi chips or even sound blaster compatable chips. The hd ones at least don't support that. the last dos drivers were for the realtech ac97 cards and I assume any ac97 card including soundmax and yamaha is your best bet. In theory soundblaster anything should support the soundblaster standard but the last one I tried was an sb live an older one. Its hard to find or get any of these. I have a physically useless bit of soundblaster hardware I could probably give you for cost of postage but I don't think you would be able to install the isa cards anyway.

Re: [Audyssey] using dosbox
well fact is on old xp I had 2 synths a keynote gold and a dectalk the keynote worked fine when accessing com ports but the dectalk did stupid things it would access but not relyably and if it did there was a 50% chance it would refuse to even work fully at all with mixed results. In most cases windows would not start at all forcing me to reformat because it wouldn't boot. My theory is that windows security because of the way it manages its own devices really doesn't like anything accessing hardware directly without a driver or something calling the access. I never found out what it was all about though because the synth in question broke.

Hi Shaun, Well, integrating Espeak itself wouldn't be hard. The problem is that all you have is TTS support, but still no way to review the screen.

However a lot of the newer systems and thats most of them don't have fm midi chips or even sound blaster compatable chips. The hd ones at least don't support that. the last dos drivers were for the realtech ac97 cards and I assume any ac97 card including soundmax and yamaha is your best bet. In theory soundblaster anything should support the soundblaster standard but the last one I tried was an sb live an older one. Its hard to find or get any of these.

Re: [Audyssey] sound in dos
Hi Josh, Here is the instructions to get the sounds to work in my Ten Pin bowling game for DOS: Sound Settings: You can pick or change your sound setting when starting the game. The Up and down arrow keys move you through the choices. Hitting the enter key selects a choice. The choices are: DEFAULT SOUND DRIVER ON WINDOWS SOUND DRIVER PC SOUND ON SOUND CARD ON SOUND OFF The default sound setting is best. If the default setting does not work and you have a SOUND card try the sound card setting. If you have Windows 95 or 98 and a sound card the Windows Driver will work but it may be slower than the dos sound drivers. If you do not have a sound card try the PC setting and if you do not want any sound choose no sound. Many of today's computers come with a sound card that plays the sound in this game the way they were designed to be heard. If you don't have a sound card, you can still hear the sounds through the small speaker built into every computer by choosing the PC setting. If you change your sound setting you will get the following: SOUND SETTING. USE THE UP AND DOWN ARROW KEYS OR HIT THE ENTER KEY TO ACCEPT THIS CHOICE. DEFAULT SOUND DRIVER ON If you use the arrow keys and pick a different driver by hitting the enter key, the game will try out the new driver with a test sound of a man saying 'Take Off Ah!'. IF YOU DID NOT HEAR ANY THING TRY CHANGING THE SOUND SETTING. IS YOUR SOUND SETTING CORRECT? YES The game will allow you to accept the new sound driver or switch it to another setting. A musical theme song will begin to play after leaving the sound choice. - Original Message - From: "Josh k" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2015 3:41 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] sound in dos that's in tenpin96 right? because when I start tenpin it asks if I want to change the sound device I say yes hit a for sound blaster and then nothing. follow me on twitter @joshknnd1982 or facebook email joshknnd1...@gmail.com will find facebook site On 1/4/2015 4:31 AM, Jacob Kruger wrote: Actually just arrowed up and down, to select audio device, and sound blaster isn't listed there - just things like default, windows, sound card, and no sound, etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA "Roger Wilco wants to welcome you...to the space janitor's closet..." - Original Message - From: "Josh k" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2015 11:44 PM Subject: [Audyssey] sound in dos jacob did you hit A for sound blaster? did you have to modify any windows settings?

[Audyssey] Anybody playing Traders of Known Space still?
Hi. Mostly this message is just a test, I need to check if my server side filter on our ValiantGalaxy email address to put this list's messages in our Audyssey folder is working. I did make a couple of local changes to TKS recently. Some work we did to Interceptor was to moduler code that we also use in TKS, so eventually when next we release an update to TKS we'll definitely have one new feature.

Re: [Audyssey] sound in dos
Well, it asks me to select sound, or something, but no real mention of sound blaster, but, if look at windows 3.1's driver listing, creative is mentioned in there, so windows 3.1 seems to think it's working with a sound blaster. Also, just again tested tenpin, and while it started off playing music etc. just running from dos itself, it locked up shortly after actual game play started, and then when powered down, and rebooted, and immediately launched windows 3.1, and opened it's MS dos command prompt, and fired up ASAP in there, before launching tenpin game, it seemed to work fine, but, with a tiny bit of audio sound stutter, etc., but anyway. Stay well.

Re: [Audyssey] Anybody playing Traders of Known Space still?
Cool glad to here work is still oing on and fixes are good if only miner ones compared to what's happening with interceptor, which I'm very much looking forward to). I need to sit down with tks again and run a slightly longer game, though at the moment I'm a little busy play some of the choiceofgames titles on Ios and litening to Doctor who dramas from big finish.

Hi. Mostly this message is just a test, I need to check if my server side filter on our ValiantGalaxy email address to put this list's messages in our Audyssey folder is working. I did make a couple of local changes to TKS recently. Some work we did to Interceptor was to moduler code that we also use in TKS, so eventually when next we release an update to TKS we'll definitely have one new feature.

[Audyssey] braille n speak server for ms-dos
hi You know how espeak.dll is compiled for NVDA? I found a good combination of speed and variant and espeak version to use in my ms-dos virtual machine. I plan to do podcasts about it. Could someone on here please either compile the latest espeak found at espeak.sf.net/test/latest.html into a dll file? or give me directions on making it into a dll? I also need the python line to change the variant again as I forgot to save it. thanks. If I use the latest test espeak in the braille n speak server using it with klatt4 and add a pitch line in the variant file I can make it sound a whole lot like the keynote gold speech. oh yes and also change it to US english. but it has to be the latest test espeak.
