[Audyssey] Cyber assault mud
Hi. As I said, I'm checking out muds to add to the db (I did flux world yesterday). and I know that several people have played this mud, so I have created a character, a predator called thrax. I'm in the newbie area in highpoint right now doing quests and wonddering about the game. Firstly, screen reader settings, especially as regards battles sinse it seems the text goes by pretty quick, also some mapping commands would be nice. I've got the toggle blind on which is supposed to be low spam, but I was wondering what other adaptations there were if any. All the best, Dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Cyber assault mud
Hello, You can set your prompt to %n which will make it not appear. You can then use commands like hp, cp and mv to get your hit points, psi points and movement points. You can also use commands like units to get the amount of currency you have. Those are the main things I know about. Someone with more experience in the mud might have others.

Re: [Audyssey] Does anyone play Avalon mud?
Hi Greg. Interesting, though other than with Alter I find Vipmud much more usable, especially with sapi. Please let me know how combat works, especially without need for scripting sinse personally I would rather not have to reprogram a game's interface in order to play if possible. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] off topic sendspace.
Hi Darren. The Sendspace site doesn't work with ie8 anymore, which is annoying. If however you have a pro account you can still get to your files with the wizard program, or use firefox. Even though I find firefox to be a pain, I was able to renue my pro account payment with it so that I could go on using the wizard.

Re: [Audyssey] off topic sendspace.
I don't use XP or IE here, so can't guaranty this will work, but one option might be to change the user agent of IE8. If you do this, SendSpace will think you're visiting using the browser you've set your user agent to, and will serve up their pages optimized for that browser rather than IE8, so stuff might display oddly. There's not a GUI option for this in IE8 so far as I could tell, so your two options are either to modify it using Regedit, or use an addon. A quick Google search turned up the following tutorial to grab a free addon, seemed straight forward at a glance: http://www.techmansworld.com/2012/09/how-to-change-your-user-agent-in-ie8.html I'm sure you know this already, but a big site like SendSpace dropping IE8 support is a clear sign that time is marching on, and it'd be worth familiarizing yourself with a different browser even if you're choosing to stick with XP as an OS.

Hi John. Ah, I sort of assume that with the number of Ca players on this list an the fact that announcements were made about the mud's events and so on there was more by way of actual adaptation, eg, removal of ascii art, combat fixes, easy mapping commands etc. Unfortunately that does mean I can't give the mud a page on audiogames.net, sinse the site db just exists for muds with some sort of in built access changes, this is also why wayfare1444 hasn't got a page. Btw, this isn't to say people shouldn't play it or anything stupid like that, just that audiogames.net isn't the mud connector, :D.

Re: [Audyssey] Does anyone play Avalon mud?
Fare enough, though I'd be interested to know about combat sinse they do claime to have blind players who engage in it but don't have any infomation about this at all, and as I said the system id strike me as an interesting one and not the usual hacknslash, it's just as with most muds a question of the speed of text reading. Sometimes I actually wish muds could stop with the real time combat, or at least slow the rounds downto give people time to read the text, which I know is sort of against the point of muds but you know what i mean :D. Beware the grue!

I’m not sure about combat. I chose to become a druid, which is a nonviolent guild. I can’t even pick up a weapon. Shannon On Jul 5, 2015, at 2:10 PM, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: hi Shannon. One thing I do wonder about if there is no screen reader low spam mode is how combat works, sinse the system sounded interesting but text intensive, and personally I'm not overly keen on having my voice at stupid speed (sinse I always want the atmosphere of a mud). Unfortunatelyk, if there are no screen reader adaptations I can't countenance giving the thing a place on audiogames.net, but that doesn't mean it might not be fun either way, the writeups on the world and guidls and quests and things to do certainly got my attention.

I like Avalon a lot. I’ve not known of any screen reader specific settings. Navigating the areas can be difficult, since the map is not accessible, but if you keep a file of directions to certain places, that works well. There are a wide variety of professions to choose from. It’s pretty RP intensive. Questing is a big part of the MUD, as it’s one major way to gain experience. Let me know if you have any other questions. Shannon On Jul 5, 2015, at 12:58 PM, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi. I've been investigating muds that need to have db entries (I just put one up for flux world today), ie, muds that offer some sort of screen reader mode with low spam, ascii map alternatives etc, plus of course dipping my toe into muds is always fun. One game I keep seeingkicking around is Avalon mud. it has some great writeups that actually sound my sort of thing, lots of exploring and a combat system that sounds very different indeed, however I do wonder about some things, and also while someone was on the audiogames.net forum last year he was a little none specific if the game had any adaptations in and of itself for screen readers, indeed the only mention I can see of anything screen reader related on site is a listing for mushclient as a compatible client for Jaws. So, does the game have some screen reader settings? and also, if anyone is playing, what is it like? I particualrly am interested sinse the game is at least semi commercial. That is new players start free, but at some point after completing novice training a newbie has to either get sponsorship from either an existing in game organization, such as a city or guild (which apparently most do), or pay a monthly fee of 7.50 usd a month. So, what is the game like? All the best, Dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn.

Re: [Audyssey] Cyber assault mud
My personal recommendation is to gag out any line of text you don't feel like seeing. Without knowing your client there's not much more specific advice I can give you. I will say though, that I've gagged a couple hundred lines - ranging from ascii art to visual separation bars to spammy attack miss sends. If you've got more experience with your client, you can probably trim some of the messages so you only see the important bits (damage amounts only, instead of the whole sentence, for example). There's a monkey term client specifically made for CA, just as mush-z is for Alter aeon, but I've no personal experience with it. -- From: dark d...@xgam.org Sent: Monday, July 06, 2015 5:12 To: Gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Cyber assault mud Hi.

Re: [Audyssey] Cyber assault mud
Hi Greg. I did see the hp and cp commands, but when I tried to set my prompt off it didn't seem to work, which is a pest because the combat timer seems very fast in the game. I'm actually surprised with all the interest people have shown in the mud there isn't a screen reader page on the cyber assault wiki or similar. All the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: Greg Wocher icewolf...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, July 06, 2015 2:55 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Cyber assault mud Hello, You can set your prompt to %n which will make it not appear. You can then use commands like hp, cp and mv to get your hit points, psi points and movement points. You can also use commands like units to get the amount of currency you have. Those are the main things I know about. Someone with more experience in the mud might have others. Regards, Greg Wocher On 7/6/15, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi.
