[Audyssey] question about manamon navigation
Hi list, I am not sure if the manamon creators will respond to this, but I have a question, I have read the documentation so I am fairly sure the answer is no, but is there a key for telling you if you have visited a location before or a coordinates system? if not, is this just because they haven't been put in or is it down to a limitation of the BGT? I really feel that the current navigation system isn't adequate particularly for large maps, e I have got to floor 2 of the minereff tunnel, it took me at least 4 or 5 hours to get off the first floor, and I only found the second by chance, and I certainly couldn't find it again easily, and now on the second I am again wondering in circles, keep ending up at the ladder to the first floor. I would also like to see some system for controlling how frequently you are attacked, its quite boring being attacked, having to hit enter to open the combat menu to be able to then select the flee option. I know a game is supposed to be challenging but the navigation simply isn't fit for purpose for very large maps and this is getting beyond challenging its getting to the annoying and not well thought out stage. I actually don't think listening for tones to stop to tell you about a new passage is a good system anyway because it can be hard to tell if a tone has stopped or if you have missed a passage and even if you find a passage if you have been in it before, I do know there are two types of tones and I have experimented with both, I would like to see a coordinates system, a visited location key to see if you have been there before, and maybe even a breadcrum system so you can mark locations. sorry for the rant but I would like to see some sort of improvements to assist with navigation, the game has been very well thought out and designed though.

Re: [Audyssey] assistance with puzzles in the inquisitor 3 audio game
Hi Ian, this again shows how silly the puzzles in this game are, I have got past the point you are at, but I did it buy using the cheat system the 5 finger tap on the screen or on the pc the shift key. s p o i l e r s p a c e I used the cheat system so not quite sure how this works, but basically you have to get a gold key to unlock the central bolt, and to get the key you have to get a gold leaf and put it on the alter and the leaf transforms into the key, I mean silly or what? I think for the alter to exist you also have to plant the seed from the apple in the foggy clearing. I think most of this game is ridiculous and not well thought out. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] assistance with puzzles in the inquisitor 3 audio game
Hi list, I am steadily working my way through the inquisitor audio game, the third in the series sisters in dream, I think a lot of the puzzles in the game are quite silly and not logical so I have used the cheat system rather a lot. However I am at a point where I am rather stuck and the cheat system is of no help. spoilers below, s p o i l e r s p a c e. I am at the bit where I am in the place where you have the apple with the 5 holes, and you can put the seed in 4 of them to move between several different scenes. Putting the seed in the first hole does nothing. I have managed to get the egg from the statue, then I placed it under the blanket, and it said a strange ball came out of the egg, however I didn't pick it up and it wasn't on the ground for me to pick up. I have got several different spheres all with different maps on, and this is where I am stuck. I have tried using the spheres with the apple but that doesn't work. When I use the cheat system my inventory is opened and the apple is selected but I can't go into the first hole, and I think I have done everything I need to in the other scenes. Any help would be appreciated, I don't mind games where puzzles are logical etc, but the ones in this game are mostly quite stupid in my view like the one with the waterfall or using the plant to beat the priest, I mean who would think of using the option take waterfall? for example, but anyway any help would be appreciated with what I do with the spheres and how I get into the first hole on the apple, feel free to be as spoilerish as you like. I want to complete the game to see how it ends but I wouldn't say I am enjoying it because of the crazy puzzles. I guess the apple and the snake have something to do with the creation story in the bible, for me the game plot isn't really flowing and hasn't been particularly well written, I mean going from greek gods to the christian creation story? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] help contacting shard workshop
Hi Dark, thanks for your reply, I am not registered on the forum, mostly because I am two lazy to regularly log in and check its topics, I guess I have just stuck to the gamers list as it comes to me, I don't have to go to it to absorb content. it would definitely be good to make contact with lorenzo some how, as zero site does seem pretty buggy in my view at least with all the sound errors I keep getting.

[Audyssey] help contacting shard workshop
Hi list, I am wondering, does anyone have a contact e mail address for shard workshop? or its owner lorenzo which I guess amounts to the same thing. as I bought zero site recently, and would like to make contact with the developer, but the documentation says to use the forum which according to the website is disabled, perhaps the documentation should be updated to actually give proper contact information, as the website doesn't provide e mail addresses either, and lorenzos official website link on the homepage is broken as well. I have a few questions and suggestions for the developer and a few problems as well, as I keep getting lots of errors to do with sounds, I have also had trouble with the engines turning off and not coming back on. I also find the games coordinate system very confusing and would like to suggest adding in some kind of autopilot system to make navigation easier.

Re: [Audyssey] the Iphone cometh
Hi dark, I am sure it would be fine for you to buy the phone from apple then get some kind of sim free plan separately. Its certainly worth you persuing the vat free option as for example, a sim free iPhone with 64 gb usually costs about £700. If you get it without vat its about £560, so a big saving as I am sure you can appreciate. Some apple stores are not aware of the phone being vat free for blind people, but I know that my local store is, and so are the ones in belfast and covent garden so if a store says to you that's not right about vat free, just try different stores til you find one that is aware, but from what I hear the majority of stores do seem to know about this. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] the Iphone cometh
Hi Dark, did you ask for the phone without vat? As if your deaf or blind in the UK you have the right to by any Apple products vat free that include features such as VoiceOver or adaptations for the deaf both of which the iPhone have. This doesn't apply to accessories though. You get a significant saving if you can get it vat free about 20 percent off. Pretty much most Apple stores are aware that you are entitled to the phone vat free, I believe you have to fill out a vat exemption form, but the savings are worth it. The reasoning you can get the vat off is because of the adaptations apple builds in such as VoiceOver, zooms and compatibility with hearing aids. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Smugglers 5 Beta released
Hi, I haven't played the beta myself, but I do have a suggestion that I found helps considerably with navigation in smugglers 4, so I see no reason why this wouldn't work with 5. I found that the hotspot clicker jaws scripts worked very well with 4. For those who don't know, hotspot clicker is a set of very advanced jaws scripts that allow you to define at there simplest areas of the screen to be clicked on with a hotkey. If you want to get more advanced, you can chain spots together, to perform several actions at once, or alternatively one after another automatically in sequence. In this way, you could set jaws up to click parts of a screen in sequence, so for example to click an option to do something, and then automatically click the OK button to confirm the action. I set up a lot of keys for smugglers 4, hotspot clicker is very useful in a lot of applications, You can also set the scripts up to monitor for changes in colour, piccsle, it can even automatically scan apps for unlabelled tooltips and try to label them for you. Its functionality is so complex and varied I can't do it justice in a short message, I would suggest check its website out for more information. it is http://hotspotclicker.org/ Hope people find the above useful, Alex. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Dark, well I am an atheist so I think that there is no such thing as an after life in the sense that the bible talks about it. I think either we stop existing entirely, or maybe we get absorbed into the environment and affect the atmosphere of a place. I certainly don't think we reincarnate or anything like that. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] N A Soft is back and I'm looking for some, , , testerswith Braille displays
Hi Dark, just curious, what engineers have there been in the past who are blind? I can't name that many historical famous blind people. I know of I think a handful, Louis Braille obviously, John Millton, then there was the king of bohemia think it was in the 12th or 13th century. To give him credit, he lead his army into battle and was promptly cut down unsurprisingly. I don't think I can think of any others off hand. Regarding your view of death, I think I two wouldn't want to be around after an apocalypse, i'm not quite sure how I would end things, unfortunately all the so called painless methods take skill to get right, and I certainly wouldn't want to hang myself. I look on death as like going to sleep, as I never dream, so for me sleep is pretty much like ceasing to exist. We are only around for a short time, the world got on fine before I existed, and will do again when I am gone, also I never had any awareness before I existed, so death shouldn't be that bad. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] N A Soft is back and I'm looking for some, , testerswith Braille displays
Hi Dark, lol, your message made me smile, the part about the early humans. To respond to it, if we are playing the what if game, if we had an apocalypse we also wouldn't have the equipment for making frames and styluses lol. I suppose your right though, in an apocalypse I suspect almost all blind people would probably struggle to adapt, and almost certainly starve to death. MM, interesting concept for a game perhaps? I guess I just think that communication is so important that we shouldn't turn our backs on a non technical means of both reading and writing, after all how many blind people speak from the pages of history before braille? How many could set there thoughts down without help? The answer, none. Even great poets like John Millton were reliant on other people for setting down there words and reading them back. The important thing about braille over other skills that use technology is that some of us could probably adapt, and at a pinch learn to cook on fires etc, whereas we definitely couldn't adapt and learn to use a pen for writing at any great length, at least not those who have been blind since birth. Though I have heard of cases where people who lost there sight later in life have been able to carry on writing with a pen and the aid of rubber bands. It also goes without saying we definitely couldn't access print material in a post apocalyptic world, and at least to my way of thinking braille would be the only sensible efficient way of reading independent of sighted people in that situation. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] N A Soft is back and I'm looking for some, testerswith Braille displays
Hi list, I have been reading this thread with interest. speaking as someone who grew up using braille for the hole of what in the UK is known as primary school, and in the US as elementary school as well as for part of my secondary or highschool education I certainly think braille will not be as widely used as it once was in the coming years. I actually only started learning how to touch type at the age of 12, and didn't start using computers in education full time til about the age of 15 or 16, there use greatly helped me do things faster and of course the internet definitely increased access to information, I well remember the challenges of trying to read huge textbooks or locate sections within them quickly. However, I think as has already been stated Braille still has a use in a minority of areas such as learning languages etc. One thing I don't think has been covered though is the fact that through our increasing reliance on technology and the decline in the use of braille we are in some ways inccreasing our dependence on the sighted world dramatically. I say this, because all our technology we use, computers etc relies on power, now lets imagine that tomorrow the world ends and the lights go out. That then puts an end to pretty much any electronic technology, no more ebooks, no more e mails, no more texting from your mobile device of choice. In that situation, sighted people will be able to pick up print books for there reading needs, and pens or pencils for communicating or just keeping diaries or records. Those blind people who know braille will still have methods of accessing information and writing information independent of sighted people, whereas those who don't know braille will be extremely reliant on sighted people for reading and writing. I also might be totally wrong about this, but I am sure I read about a blind judge in South Africa who helped the apartheid resistance by passing information in Braille, it was either that or Nazi resistance, I am sure a bit of googling could find the information. Just as a side note, I am in the UK, and I have found it difficult to get repairs done to my brailler, I phoned the local blind society and a few other organisations, but none knew of anyone who could help me, and it will be a real nuisance to pack it up, address it and send it to the rnib to see if they can make repairs to it. Admittedly it was my own fault for trying to braille on a card that was two thick that has made it jam, but I was only previously using it to write a few birthday and christmas cards, so I am wondering if its really worth me getting it fixed. The point I am simply trying to make is that the skills for maintaining equipment seem to be lacking, I mean you would think a blind society would know of people locally or nearer than the RNIB who could make repairs for me. these are just my thoughts, Alex. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] thoughts on getting dos football game running under iOS
Hi list, on an old dos computer I still have from the early 90s, I still have an old football club management game, called soccer manager, made in about 1991 I believe, by new era software. The game is entirely text based, the idea is that you are the manager of a football club, you can't actually control players while they are playing matches, but you can influence all other aspects of club management, which will affect how the matches go, so for example resting players when they are injured, upgrading your clubs physio, add seats to, or remove seats from your stadium, by and sell club shares to raise income, by and sell players on markets, place bets on matches and probably lots of other stuff I have forgotten. Basically the idea is about controlling practically anything to do with football club management but you don't have to really know much about football. You can even create your own custom teams and players if you like. \so, would there be any interest in me approaching the guy who ported desteno games to iOS, and see if he might want to give this game the same treatment if its possible. I have no idea how practical making it run under iOS would be, but thought I would throw the idea out there just to get an idea of interest before approaching him. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] audio wars, jaws support?
Hi, not sure if the audio wars author keeps up with list traffic, but if you do, I am just wondering, will you be adding jaws support to audio wars? as I don't particularly like relying on sapi or NVDA for voicing games. I know a lot of developers find it hard to add jaws support to games, perhaps developers who have managed to do so should place example code on there sites for others to use, as I think I am right in saying the games which do have jaws support all pretty much used code from the same person or people. Also, the AI isn't very inteligent at the moment, do you plan to make it a bit smarter? over all, I do like the game though, its fun and I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the future with it. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Gamers Being Taken Seriously?
Hi, I always check messages after I have finished them, to make sure they are readable, and in case I want to add anything extra in. As far as spell checking goes, I actually don't use an in built spell checker for checking my typing, unless I am in word for example. A far more useful application I have found for checking spelling, is called tiny spell, and this functions as a spell checker throughout windows, and it makes the computer sound a chime sound whenever it picks up on a spelling error, its particularly useful in situations where you normally wouldn't have a spell checker, for example in skype or msn chats, or even when trying to do an on line search as it just sits in the background. I also use it for auto capitalising the first letter of sentences. I have a set of jaws scripts as well for the program, which give several options for getting jaws to spell spelling suggestions as you arrow over them, as it does in word. The program is quite good, I do sometimes have to use word or even google if I can't figure out a particular spelling and tiny spell can't get it either. If people want to try the program, there is a free and a payed version, though I think the scripts only work with the payed version, due to differences between both versions. The scripts are not publicly available for download, a friend wrote them for me a few years ago, but the site he made them available on was taken down some time ago, but I would be happy to send to anyone who wants them. tiny spell can be downloaded from http://tinyspell.numerit.com/ the free version is just called tiny spell, the paid version is called tiny spell plus, but the word plus is actually a + symbol. I find using the scripts useful, as it helps me learn where I make common mistakes rather than just going down and selecting the correct spelling, I like to listen to it to know for next time. There are also several different dictionaries that can be used with it, depending on your language. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Silversword is not the game for the blind.
Hi. from reading the message that you were sent Michael, it sounds like that the guys issue is not that he has stopped supporting accessibility, he wants two things, firstly he wants you to leave him alone about accessibility, as quite rightly he doesn't want accessibility to take over game development at the expense of other features. and also he doesn't like your signature advertising the system access network. I think part of the issue could also be down to communication problems, as correct me if I am wrong, but Michael, your grasp of English does seem a bit shaky some times, so perhaps also you misinterpreted the message you were sent. I have to say, I also agree your signature constantly advertising system access is annoying. So I think you should reply, and say thanks for the e mail, and also appologise for your spam signature which I think you should get rid of, from e mails and forum posts. You should also get rid of it before replying to the games author. You should reply to him though, so he knows you are still happy to talk to him if, he needs you, but this is important, after replying to his message. Leave! the! guy! alone.! you should make it clear that you would still like to give input on accessibility if he wants you to. You should remove the signature before replying, as if you leave it, it will be like you totally ignored his message and didn't listen to him. I have also noticed, that you do seem to become obsessed with games very easily, so for example the de steno games, and now this. There is nothing wrong with a hobby, but also you shouldn't nag people about accessibility constantly. These are just my thoughts, I hope they don't upset you or anyone.

[Audyssey] what other old dos games would people like to see ported to the iPhone
Hi list, I just sent this message to the viphone list without thinking, grr I hate it when I do things like that, I just filled in the address on autopilot without thinking. just thought I would throw this question out there to see what sort of replies come in, what other old dos games would people like to see ported to the iPhone? of course we shouldn't expect lots of games to now suddenly be ported to the iPhone, I doubt the developer who ported the 6 games we currently have will port every possible game under the sun. Speaking for myself, one game I would really like the ability to play on the iPhone is called humbug, its interactive fiction, but unusually the guy who wrote it didn't use a standard IF language, I think he wrote it in pascal. In fact he wrote several games, which he has now made freeware, though I don't think he released the source code to any of them. Jackaranda jim was also another funny one he did, though I was never able to beat that one. Humbug was cool because of the way all the puzzles were interconnected. Of course I can't use any of his games under windows 7 because it won't run 16 bit applications, but I have an old dos pc which I keep just for old games, its about 15 years old and still in full working order. To be honest I probably wouldn't play old dos style games that much, but they would be cool to have around for long car or train journeys. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] The app is finally here!
Hi, thanks for your reply, I actually didn't see any dialogue asking if I wanted instructions when I first ran the game, but that was because I was two impatient when the copyright notice came up. I am using a bluetooth keyboard, I hate the iPhone virtual keyboard with a passion, the only time I sometimes use it is when entering passwords as then I can be certain I am selecting the right letter. But normally I only use a bluetooth keyboard. I ran the app again, and was able to get the game started this time. I had a thought, obviously you have to respect the authors original copyright, but due to the limited screen space on the iPhone, perhaps you could put the copyright stuff under a separate button, called copyright information or something. Besides, lets face it the games are so old, I doubt the author really cares what happens to them now, and I guess he must be amazed people still play them. How many people have downloaded the app so far? I know the itunes store does keep track of numbers of downloads, but I have never scene this statistic on any app pages I have viewed in the app store. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] The app is finally here!
Hi, I am probably looking in totally the wrong place, but how exactly do we play these games? I did play the pc versions back in the day, so am interested to see how this app performs. I have been able to launch the app, and select what game I want to play, but then I can't figure out how to actually start the game. The game I have been trying to play is the destination mars game, and I can get the screen up showing the copyright notice, and the restart game button, but can't work out what to do from hear, there doesn't seem to be a start button or anything as far as I can see. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] question about silver sword rpg game for iPhone
Hi list. I have been a bit slow at keeping up with list messages of late, and am now just getting back into it. I have just been reading michaels messages regarding the silver sword rpg game for iPhone. My question is, when you say its an rpg game, does that mean you have full 3d movement and can walk around levels and locations etc? or is it more in the style of a game book game where you make choices at particular points in the game, weather to attack, talk to people etc. or is it similar to the game king of dragon pass, which I am still getting to grips with, but having a lot of fun doing so. Many thanks for any help, Alex. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] question about input methods for swamp
Hi list. I guess this question has been asked before, but is there a way I can play swamp without the mouse? 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.

[Audyssey] managed to crash swamp game
Hi, I guess this bug is probably known about, but I thought I would report it anyway. I just managed to cause a bad swamp crash. I did this by trying to change output from sapi to jaws, I assume jaws support hasn't been built into swamp, or support for any other screen readers. 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.

Re: [Audyssey] Darkruise Question
Hi Jeremy, that's a shame you won't be working on the game, it actually did sound like it could be really cool, especially with the different weapon choices and skill set choices. will you reconsider, and actually think about turning this into a proper game if there is enough demand from the community? I could see it having a lot of replay value if you actually did develop it further. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] another bug with raid groups in castaways
Hi. I have another bug to report with raid groups in castaways. when the raid group comes back from attacking the city, and you try to send out another group, you get told that you already have a group out on a raid, even though the group in question has returned. in fact, so far running castaways 2.6, I am only able to make one attack against the city, and then can't send any more troops to attack it. also, I have noticed the reporting of injuries and killings when assassins turn up is very mangled, as often people are reported as being injured or killed several times in the same report which makes it very confusing. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] question about placement of walls in castaways
hi list. I am just wondering, how does the placement of walls work in castaways? do walls always have to be built between things so for example two bits of forest or two rocky fields, is building the wall between two objects what determines what direction the wall is facing? so for example, in mission 5 I am putting walls round my survivor camp, are these walls going to form a square to seal the camp in. so for example, my survivor camp is at g9, and I am placing walls at g8, f9, h9, and g10. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] new castaways disaster suggestion
Hi list. I just had a cool idea for another disaster that could be added to castaways. what about having the possibility that your cook could burn down the tavern, and on high difficulty levels, you could add in that the tavern could be burned by the fire, and also buildings in other squares surrounding it. and maybe for the insane difficulty level anyone eating in the tavern when the fire starts would have a 50 50 chance of being injured or killed. I think that could be a really fun disaster. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] suggestion for improving reporting of troop numbers in castaways
Hi. I am playing the current castaways, and I just had an idea which I think would really make managing troops easier. at the moment when you go through the different jobs you are told how many of each type you have. now, this is my idea. in the case of troops, because training takes a while to happen, could we also be told after the number of fully trained troops you have so many being trained. so for example, you might be told you have 3 soldiers and 2 being trained. I could then use that information to easily work out which bits of my army need reenforcing, because at the moment you have to go into the soldiers list and try to add the numbers up, which isn't easy when you have a lot being trained at once. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] suggestion for improving message handling in castaways
Hi list. I am playing a game with about 70 people at the moment. I saw a message a while ago from someone experiencing huge message delays in a game, and she speculated it was because of the number of people she had in her population. I two am now experiencing this, and I wonder if it could be a combination of the number of people, and also the number of events taking place in the game at once, for example zombies advance on to the land very quickly. so I think either something needs to be done to improve reporting of messages. alternatively another thought I had, is add a keystroke to flush the message buffer and delete all queued messages. as for example, zombies burned down my tavern, I heard that message fine, but I find frequently if I go to put up a building, it gets destroyed but I don't get the message about the destruction til 5 minutes, sometimes longer after the event, this was the case twice when I tried to rebuild the tavern. if we had a flush message buffer key, this would at least allow us to clear it completely so we can get a more accurate picture of the situation. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] suggestion for changing the way doctors heal people in castaways
Hi list. I am still playing castaways mission 4, and I think from playing it quite a bit a change really needs to be made to the way doctors heal people. at the moment, they heal people in the order they become ill, now OK, that's fine when you don't have plague to deal with. however, once plague gets hold of your population healing in the order people get ill makes no sense at all. as if this was a real life situation, doctors would be wanting all the help they could get, so surely would concentrate on medical personell first in order they can help them out later with the rest of the population. as it stands, once plague takes hold of your population no matter how many doctors you create and upgrade, you are basically screwed because they get the plague soon after, and although they may heal the odd person chances are your doctors are berried right at the back of the queue. so of course you create more doctors til you run out of useable peasants. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] accessible games for android
Hi Daren, well to save you hunting around, I will provide you with the names of the keyboards I have found so far, one is called the nuu MinniKey, another is called the tk421 and the third is called the buddy case, and is available from www.boxwave.com apparently this particular keyboard has a version 1 and two, with two having a layout similar to a regular qwerty keyboard, though unlike version 1 it doesn't have a dedicated number row, this particular keyboard sounds interesting though as aparrently you can get 45 days worth of battery from one charge. Having said that I read a very damming review that totally slammed this keyboard, so I am not sure as I have read equally positive and negative ones about all of the ones I have listed so far. I have read reviews of all of these keyboards, and they all sound very different to each other, with advantages and disadvantages to each. One thing that does concern me about the I phone is interacting with the touch screen on a call, for example when trying to interact with a menu driven phone system. I recently got a nokia e7, running talks and I have decided to sell it, as I just wasn't able to find the numbers on the touch screen for dialing in pin codes for my bank and voice mail, it was just two slow, and I was getting cut off or transferred to operators. having said that, one thing that really got in the way on the phone was having to tap a virtual soft key to even bring up the keyboard before I could even start trying to find the numbers. mm perhaps we should either start a new thread or take this off list, as I suppose it is going way off topic for android, and also we don't want to annoy the mods, what do you think? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] castaways suggestion for disposing of useless people
Hi list. Just a thought, I am in the middle of playing castaways mission 4, and I had an idea for population control. at the moment, we have the ability to destroy buildings, and I think it would be cool if we could kill off parts of our population in the same way. for example, I am at the stage with stocking the ship, and I only have a handful of peasants, but I have a lot of useless upgraded people of various types. so rather than wasting time building more houses, it would be good if I could dispose of these useless people for the greater good of the population. that way I could get new peasants etc without having to feed the useless architects etc. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] accessible games for android
Hi daren, I am now really considering the I phone, as I found out about several cases you can get for the I phone that come with built in blutooth qwerty keyboards, from reading reviews, they all sound like they have advantages and disadvantages over each other. do you think using one of these cases would make game play easier? the reason I really didn't want an I phone was because of the touch screen, but it looks like this issue is at least partly solved. have you or anyone else reading this had experience of these combined case keyboards? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] bug with castaways gramma
Hi. another little bug I just noticed with castaways in general, when the game has to refer to 1 person, it says 1 people instead of person. so for example all my population had starved to death and I had one person left, so I did shift t to find out energy levels, and it said 1 people instead of person. I also have another suggestion, when you press shift t to find out about energy levels, instead of saying you have 0 people, perhaps it would make more gramatical sense if it says no people when listing energy levels so for example, no people between 10 and 20 percent. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] help locating soft key 5 on the nokia e7
Hi list. I have two questions for nokia e7 users. firstly, although I am able to make a call on the e7, if I get through to one of these menu driven phone systems, talks says soft key 5 for dialer. I assume this is to bring up a keyboard on the touch screen showing numbers that can be dialed into the phone. could someone please tell me how do I locate soft key 5? as I have tried a few times, but for example with my voice mail system, it cuts off before I can locate the soft key and press it in order to open the dialer to input my pin number. on a related issue, when I put the phone to my ear to hear what is going on, the proximity sensor switches on and disables the touch screen to avoid triggering functions accidentally with your cheek. so do I just use the unlock switch to release the screen? I can't remember if someone said you could dial extensions from the qwerty keyboard, if this is possible I suppose I could do that, but its a pain to have to open the phone up just to dial in a pin number or interact with the banking system. I am beginning to seriously wonder if the e7 is worth bothering with, as I found my texting speed is about half that of the e90, when I am writing, plus at least when using talks its so easy to trigger menus opening etc, the screen isn't well designed at all, a candy bar style screen would have been much better. but I have decided to switch over to using the e7 for a week, and only use my old phone if I am going out where I will need a phone it is certain I can operate. at the end of that time, I will decide if I want to keep it or not, but I think I am leaning towards selling it. though I haven't thought through what I might get instead. I would like an I phone as it would be so cool to be able to play games on a phone, but apple seem obstinate about not doing a version with a qwerty keyboard because steve jobs hates physical buttons. I could get a blutooth keyboard for it, but it would just be extra equipment to lug around and keep charged, and it wouldn't be so easy to just stand around and text as with an in built keyboard. I suppose I could go down the android root but I don't know two much about it. but I think long term symbian is a sinking ship as I believe it only has another 3 years or so of life in it. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] accessible games for android
Hi sean, I did a bit of googling last night, and ran across stem stumpers, which is available for I phone and android, but to date that is the only game for android I have come across, and it doesn't even sound two exciting. you are right about symbian being discontinued in favour of windows phone 7, and although I just got a nokia e7 to try it out, I am beginning to feel its more hastle than its worth, as the keyboard part just isn't well designed, its so easy to knock the touch screen with your hand while texting. and although with mobile speak this isn't a huge problem, I do find the home screens on symbian 3 pathetic, only being able to have 4 shortcuts per screen is just stupid, and both mobile speak and talks don't read all icons on the home screen, plus interacting with a phone switchboard system isn't very easy, especially selecting numbers on the touch screen. although I could open the phone to physically dial in the numbers once on the phone I don't see why I should have to. the I phone is tempting, but I don't like the voices I have heard so far on it, and although I guess I could get a blutooth keyboard, its just more equipment to lug around, and I would need to keep it charged up. plus I couldn't easily stand around in a public place and text with it like I could do with a phone that has a physical keyboard, as I would have to have the I phone in one hand, and keyboard in another. unfortunately I think its unlikely the I phone will ever get a physical keyboard, given that steve jobs hates physical buttons, and feels that devices should be asthetically pleasing and easy for the sighted world to use. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi list. I am just wondering, are there any accessible games for the android mobile phone operating system? I see there is a list for I phone and I pad on pcsgames.net, but haven't scene much about android. I am considering ditching symbian in favour of this OS, as I am not finding talks very easy to use on a touch screen phone, and the same is also true of mobile speak. I have no intention of getting an I phone, as I don't want to go purely touch screen, so I am now considering android. also of course symbian is being discontinued in a few years in favour of mango which currently has no accessibility, so I think it might be time to leave the sinking ship of symbian. many thanks for any help, alex. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] sound for closed buildings in castaways
Hi. I think it would be quite useful to have a sound for when a building is closed and you go over it, as sometimes I close my tavern after it is stocked so peasants can do other things. however, I frequently forget it is closed til people start dying. so it would be quite good to have a sound to indicate a building is closed, and perhaps also a message to let you know the tavern has run out of food. this would be particularly useful in mission 3 as resource and people management is key for this mission. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] slight bug with castaways window title
Hi jeremy, I understand why there is a blank space when hitting tab, perhaps I shouldn't have put two issues in the same message. the bug I wanted to report was that once you have changed the speech mode, even when jaws support is active, the actual title of the application window says window eyes support, rather than castaways. interestingly, this is only an issue when you first change the speech output method, if you exit and reload castaways the title is back to normal. so it looks as if the problem is only when the change first takes place. also, what did you think of my idea to add an option to hide mission intro messages? as you didn't comment on that from my other message. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] suggestion for handling castaways mission intros
Hi. I just started playing castaways 2.0, and a thought struck me about the mission intros. firstly, an option to disable showing of the mission intro would be good, as for those who have heard it several times it can be a bit tedius reading it again and again. also, something else I have noticed, particularly in mission 3, when you first start the game, you are read half of the intro, and in order to read the rest you have to unpause the game, when the rest is displayed. surely it would make more sense to display all the mission intro information in one go, so that as soon as you unpause the game, you are not bombarded with the rest of it as that wastes time. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] slight bug with castaways window title
Hi. I just downloaded castaways version 2.0, and I jjust noticed something which I think has been present for several versions. basically you press tab to change the speech mode which castaways uses, and the first time you press tab it doesn't say anything. however, you press tab again, and it says jaws. however, if you then press insert and t to read the title, the application window title isn't read as castaways, but as window eyes support. not a big thing, but I thought I would point it out. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] better control of troop training in castaways
Hi.Hi, I am still playing mission 3 in castaways, and I must say I think it needs some serious rebalancing, at the moment I think its unbeatable. but anyway that's not why I am writing, I am writing to ask could we have more control over troop training? as at the moment, the game seems to automatically assume just because there is armour at the barracks I want anyone I tell to be a soldier to become a knight. I really think that the military jobs need to each have there own categories, so soldiers, literally meaning ordinary soldiers, a specific category for knights, and all other military units should have there own job types. as I frequently find myself in the position where I am building up spare stockpiles of armour, and yet I don't want people to become knights just because the armour is lying around I would actually like to be able to set what military unit people become. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] bug with peasants and construction sites in castaways
Hi. I am just playing mission 3 in castaways for the first time, and I have just noticed a bug with peasants. I am sure this must have been reported, but I thought I would send this just in case. at the moment, I have the enemy sitting on my land, they have burned down all my buildings, as well as the ones under construction. I have just scene several peasants try and drop materials off at projects which have been destroyed. so a typical message I got was that x dropped lumber at the. literally that kind of message, no building type was given, it just said the I guess because whatever the project was in question they are trying to drop stuff at no longer exists. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] arrangement of buildings list in castaways and a suggestion.
Hi list. just a bit of a suggestion regarding the building list in castaways, at the moment, the order of the list seems a bit haphazard, for example, I think that all the farm types should be listed right next to each other, at the moment you have meet and vegetable farms, and then right near the bottom of the list is the animal farm, I think this should be grouped with the other two farms so they are next to each other in the list. I think in fact, that the buildings should be grouped in the order that they depend on each other, so for example, I would have the butchers shop, then the textile, and then the hospital, and other buildings that depend on it. I think also that the vinyard should be listed next to the tavern. and also perhaps the tannery should go next to the monastery as again they depend on each other. I also had another idea when playing mission 3, I think because the maps are so big, and it can take some time to explore them, I think a really useful feature would be a terrain location mode, so lets say I am at a1 and want to quickly find the nearest site to put my quarry, I could bring up a list of terrain types and find out where the nearest bit of forest, rocky ground or empty land is etc. alternatively, I did think of another job that could make this more of a useful in game feature, that of an explorer or cartographer. OK at the moment you can arrow around to find things, but if you had an explorer or cartographer, you could find out from him where the nearest bit of forest is or whatever, and a benefit of having him could be that all your peasants and builders move around quicker, as he could advise on the quickest root. I certainly think a quick terrain location feature could be useful anyway. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] suggestion for building constructions in castaways.
Hi. I am just writing as I have a suggestion for building construction in castaways. could the close feature be made to apply to buildings being built? this would be useful, as I frequently find my builders carrying on building something, when I would rather they revert to peasants, because they can finish the building later. the problem is, its often easier to leave everyone as builders, and being able to close a building mid construction would make control of what your people do much easier, as at the moment, your builders won't become peasants til the building is finished. also, I noticed a slight spelling mistake in castaways, I think you missed an extra r out of quarry as its pronounced quarry, but jaws says quary in the list of building choices and whenever the word is used. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] suggestion for castaway faults purks system
Hi, just an idea that I thought of with castaways, at the moment we can only select a fixed number of faults, starters and purks. so, my idea is still leave the minimum numbers of faults, starters and purks, but give the option of selecting more of any of them if you want. I think it could lead to more interesting games, for example I would like to be able to select light lunch, and the fault that makes your people burn food faster without wine. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] question about the 7 128 game book and jaws
Hi list, I am just wondering, does anyone know if there are compatibility issues between the 7 128 game book and jaws, or between it and windows 7 64 bit? as I start the game up, and I find that I can't get jaws to read me any of the menus when it is loaded, and when I switch to sapi, its very sluggish and unresponsive. It worked fine under xp, leading me to think there must be an issue somewhere with windows 7 or something. any help with the above issues would be really appreciated, thanks, Alex. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] castaways, noticeable performence issues when graphics are on
Hi, I just thought I would say in the latest castaway, there is a noticeable slow down in the game tick sound on blazing when graphics are enabled. I didn't even know there were graphics now in the game, I certainly don't think they should be on by default, as most players on this list are totally blind so its a bit pointless having them on by default it uses resources. though I certainly think having graphics is a good idea for any sighted players out there.

[Audyssey] question about new professions in castaways.

Re: [Audyssey] question for those players of smugglers 4
Hi dark, thanks for the reply. I had forgotten you needed to close the intro message before you could pull up game options. My god, this guy is a sloppy programmer, he clearly doesn't use captions in his code to set a proper window title. If anyone is interested, I am using a very powerful set of jaws scripts called hotspot clicker to make playing smugglers easier, buy setting up hotspots for the combat system, and also to make activating blind players mode and getting into the options menu easier. it means, no more hunting around with the jaws cursor to find things, now when I start the game, I can just hit alt and c to close the intro message, alt and o for the game options menu, and then alt and b to activate the blind players mode. and no need to go hunting with the jaws cursor at all, it saves a lot of time and frustration. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] question for those players of smugglers 4
Hi list. I have a question for those of you who have played smugglers 4 by neils bower games. I bought the game ages ago, and gave up with it as the screen just looked a total mess with jaws, but things seem to be a bit better now, I don't know if that's down to different display settings or what. but anyway, could some kind soul please tell me how do I access the options menu, in order to turn off the stupid game music which drowns out jaws almost completely, and I want to enable the blind players mode. unfortunately I can't seem to find an options menu even after starting the new game. any help would be very much appreciated. I know its possible as I think I did it years ago, but now I can't figure it out. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] looking for an old game the savage gamut
Hi list. I guess this is a bit of a longshot, but I am looking for an old game, no longer available on the net, I believe due to the authors website being hacked. It was called the savage gamut, and was a boxing game. It had a stupidly complicated interface, I bought a copy years ago, but I guess I must have lost it in one of several harddrive crashes over the years. does anyone by any chance still have a copy of this game? as I am starved of entertainment, and thought I would try it out again. I dug up the old training program, from a backup, but can't find the full game installer. thanks for any help, Alex. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] random idea for a crime game.
Hey list, I was just thinking over what happened with Thomas, and that how him coming back on list is great for the community. Then I suddenly thought and also now he won't be remembered as another James north. And then sort of off the back of that, I thought now wouldn't that be an interesting action/ puzzle solving game. The main character could be a detective, hired to track down a game developer who has ripped off loads of people, and this isn't a VI developer particularly, it could be sighted or non sighted doesn't matter. Anyway, the object of the game would be to track this person who has run off with all the money, through levels of car chases, jumping moving trains, bars full of unsavery people, the list is endless. there could be all sorts of obstacles and traps. I am not a programmer, but I just suddenly thought, interesting idea and thought I would share it. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] bug in current castaways with stocking ship
Hi. I am playing with the latest version, and the ability to close farms really is useful. one thing I noticed though is that on farms, the message is wrong it still talks about peasants bringing supplies when you close or open it, when it should talk about farmers harvesting. anyway, I just found this issue with stocking the ship. I got to about 46 meet, and peasants are still bringing meet, but the number has stopped going up. I also had several messages about peasants bringing vegetables to the ship after it was fully stocked. I wonder if what could be happening with the vegetables, is that peasants just grab the nearest item and so even when the ship is fully stocked they still try and drop there vegetables off rather than going to get something else. so if peasants are still carrying vegetables after the ship is stocked they try to deliver them. I don't know what is going on with the meet though, I have watched two or 3 deliveries without the number at the ship increasing. I have the game saved if this is of any use. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] farm management in castaways
Hi dark, that's the point, you can reassign farmers sure, but you can't control what the remaining ones are going to do. so you could still easily end up in the situation where your farmers are wasting effort grabbing vegetables etc, when you would rather all farmers concentrate on wine production instead of gathering weat or vegetables. my point is I think the farmer needs to be much more flexible. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] farm management in castaways
Hi list. Just another suggestion, but I think there should be an option on farms to stop peasants harvesting from them. as I have had a few situations in this current game, where I have had say 100 flower and over a hundred vegetables. obviously that is quite a lot, and I don't need more of said materials for a long time. so it would be nice to be able to shut down particular types or indeed all types of farms, in order that peasants can do more useful things. the close option doesn't apply to farms as they don't need supplies, so I would like to see some way to shut farms down. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] bug with production of materials
Hi list. I just found a rather serious bug with production, at least I think its a bug. the issue is as follows, I assume this problem probably affects all second and third stage jobs. I noticed it however in the production of cloth. I suddenly realised that my taylors kept weeving animal fur into yarn, even though the textile had the maximum possible yarn, so the yarn the taylors were weeving was literally disappearing. of course, this meant the amount of yarn never went down, and the taylors never wove the yarn that was already there. In the end I closed the textile to new supplys, but I think this is a bug that should be fixed. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] keeping track of goblins in castaways
Hi. another thought that just occurred to me. could we have a key stroke so we can check where the goblins are on our land? perhaps shift g I think this would be helpful, as we can more easily use the information to place guard towers to allow knights to destroy the goblins more quickly. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] suggestion for improving building management in castaways
Hi. I am just writing, as I am in the middle of a game of castaways, and I had a thought about ways to make it easier to keep track of what might be needed in the game. That is, could we either have a new keystroke, or it given as part of existing information, to find out how many of each type of building there are? I think this would be particularly useful in the case of houses and farms, as I am having to go and recount every so often, and it is time consuming going through the buildings list. I would just like to be able to hit a keystroke to find out about numbers of any building, and then have shift d and f to arrow through them to find out there location on the map. perhaps alt d and alt f could be used to let you arrow through your buildings and find out how many of each there are. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] bug with castaways 0.9b strong start
Hi list. I am sure this has been reported before, but I just tried playing with the strong start option set, and I wasn't given my store house. I checked and I am definitely on 0.9b, but I couldn't find the store house when I hit shift d and shift f, and I did try leaving the game unpaused for a while, but nothing was moved, so I assume this feature isn't fully implemented yet or something. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] prioritising tasks in castaway
Hi. I am in the middle of another game of castaways, I am not doing two badly, I have built the ship, but my peasants aren't stocking it, they are still carrying stuff to the tavern, and the baker hasn't done anything though I think it might be because they didn't finish the mill. I can't be bothered to go hunting all over the map to try and find it. Having said that, I am getting warning mesages about people being on the verge of starving, and then they seem to feed themselves up a bit and stagger on. anyway, this brings me on to my suggestion. Its great when peasants or builders decide to help out with other jobs, but there are times when I would like to tell say a bunch of builders who are transporting stuff to stop that, just leave the stuff where it is and go and finish the existing building projects off. as there have been a lot of times where building work is half done, and yet the builders have got side tracked on to shifting stuff around. I think it would also be good if you have several building projects on the go if you could say to your builders that you want building x finished before building y etc. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] jaws support in castaways and other games (Jeremy Kaldobsky)
Hi, I really would like to see jaws support fixed up, as I am having to put up with those microsoft voices because I am running windows 7 64 bit, the good 32 bit voices install, and can be used by jaws for example, but they are not listed in the control panel, and I am beginning to really tire of the standard microsoft so called voices. If you were to fix jaws up, you could then add support for it to all of your other titles easily. also, going off on a bit of a tangent, Jeremy, I see that is your name listed on messages you send, so where do you get aproan from, as that's what you call yourself in game etc. Is it a nick name? or something else? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] jaws support in castaways and other games
Hi aproan, I am just wondering, have you had any luck improving jaws support for your games? I think if we could play using jaws rather than sapi it would really improve game play, particularly as its quite hard to get good sapi voices running under windows 7 64 bit. this is just a suggestion, but have you tried talking to jason, the maker of entombed? as he got jaws support working quite well in his game, though there are one or two issues still with it, but he can probably tell you how to get support for jaws working properly. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] question about farms in castaways
Hi list. I know what the two farm types are for in castaways, however I do have a few questions. How much stuff does each farm produce? I am wondering so that I can keep my number of farms in proportion to population size. obviously I assume the more farms you have the more farmers it is better to have, so that one farmer isn't rushing between say 10 farms. I guess a similar question applys to the output from vinyards and bakeries, how many people can the output from one of each support. same for hunters, how many people does each kill they bring back feed. many thanks for your help, Alex. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] help with lunimals mission 5
Hi list. I got lunimals figured out after aprones explanation. However, I could do with some help for mission 5. I am part way through the mission, and I have to have populations of at least 10 cats and kamen. I have 21 turtles left over at the start of this new section. I have tried selling them to raise cash and bying fish, but the kamen quickly eat all of it. I also tried leaving the turtles as food for the kamen, but again no joy the kamen all died, same when I tried leaving a mixture of fish and turtles. I am having a similar problem with the Cats. As soon as I get any mice, they get eaten or die, same thing, eventually the cats all die. I don't get it, as I have trees all over the land area. And I believe the mice like acorns.

[Audyssey] assistance playing lunimals
Hi list. I gather I am a bit late to the party, and the new game everyone is talking about is this time travel game, which sounds seriously fun, and I am going to check it out. However, I am currently writing for some help playing lunimals, as I do like the idea of being able to play god. basically, I read the readme file, but am still really none the wiser where to start with the game. I select the lunimals executable to run it, and then it says I am on the main menu or something, however, I am unable to arrow through it, when I press tab though, jaws says something about message box support, and then dome editor, ok. and then I can sort of arrow around, but this dome editor, ok button message thing keeps following me around, and I can't get rid of it. Also the choice I made with tab, the screen reader support or message box support keeps being read as well. So I would really appreciate some help, as it looks a really cool game, its just jaws doesn't appear to like it. Of course once I do get jaws settled down, can I have some suggestions how to get started?

[Audyssey] assistance using hotspot clicker to make a game more accessible.
Hi list. I am wondering, are there any people on hear who are familiar with using hotspot clicker? I would like to use it to make a game easier to navigate. the game I would like to use it in connection with is aurora, which requires a lot of navigating around with the jaws cursor, to click on very specific parts of the screen, so I suddenly thought hotspot clicker could be very useful with this game as I could set up hotspots on the areas I would frequently need to access. Setting up the hotspots is easy, however there is a problem with them. That is, depending on what you click on, hotspots can be moved several lines down the screen, and so although you can set them up and they work from one location, if you then try to click them after accessing an area of the screen, its possible they have moved, and you will click the wrong tab. So, I am wondering, does anyone on the list who is familiar with either hotspot clicker, or jaws scripting no of a way I can set my hotspots up to take account of them moving around on the screen? I also thought hotspot clicker could be very useful with other games, such as the smugglers series from neils bower, and maybe the tv manager games if they are accessible.

[Audyssey] where do I start with Aurora
Hi list. I just came across the Aurora game on the pcs games website. I must say the game sounds like it is going to be really fun, I always love the idea of playing strategy games, particularly if this one is as involved as it sounds. Is the game fully accessible to jaws? Also, I have gone through the game setup screen, and managed to get into the game, but to be honest I am feeling a bit lost, where exactly do I start and what do I do? I tried looking at the tutorial on the sites wiki, but that only seemed to go as far as game setup. This sounds like a perfect game for a podcast from a more experienced player, in fact probably it could do with a series of podcasts it sounds that detailed. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] problem installing all in play software under windows 7.
Hi list. I am wondering if I can get some help installing all in play software under windows 7 64 bit. I have tried e mailing and yesterday telephoning technical support, but have received no response to either commmunication yet. the problem I am facing is this, I start installing the all in play software, and then it gets to the bit where it has to install the jaws scripts for the program. however, I then get an error message about it not being able to find a path its looking for, I suspect because it is trying to install the scripts in the location where a 32 bit version of jaws would be, which of course it isn't, as I am running 64 bit jaws which is installed in a different place, The error message is as follows if anyone has any thoughts about how to deal with this I would be very interested, as there doesn't appear to be a brows button or anything, and all in play have remained silent to date.

[Audyssey] assistance with playing time adventures
Hi list. Wondering if anyone can help me out with a fairly old game, time adventures which used to be distributed by code factory. I am at one part in the game, and I can't progress, I am not sure if its me who has done something wrong, or if the game is just buggy and I will have to start over again. I dug up the clue book from the audio games.net forum, and had a look at the thread where someone was experiencing the same issue, but no solution was posted. The section I am having problems with, is when you are back in ancient griece, and you have to finish the statue and borrow the crane so that two of the guests can go to the party. the clue book states I need to talk to the architects assistants, but he doesn't appear to have any assistants to talk to, or at least they are not mentioned on the menu of options. I tried to take the crane, and got two different lectures about not touching it. and I have tried talking to the architect several times. the first time he said I couldn't have the crane, and the second he declined the invite to the party, so then I talked to him a third time and it was the same conversation with him declining the invitation. I tried to build the statue, but he hasn't asked me, so of course I can't do anything with the wax etc. any help would be appreciated.

[Audyssey] using a program called art money for game cheating.
Hi list. I was wondering, does anyone have any experience of using a program called art money for cheating in games? for example you could use it to give you unlimited health. basically it allows you to search the programs memory for particular values you are interested in and then change them accordingly in memory. when I have completed a game, I use a program called game cheater which does the same thing as art money, as it can be fun some times. however game cheater is quite old now and compared to the features art money offers I believe is quite limited, also it doesn't appear to have been undergoing any development for several years. I installed art money, and had a bit of a look at it with jaws and window eyes but it doesn't seem very accessible at all. I am sure some time back I saw a post on the audiogames.net forum from someone who used art money, but I was just wondering if anyone on list had managed to have more luck with art money than me or are we stuck with out dated game cheater, I will probably post this to the audiogames.net forum as well. __ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4765 (20100112) __ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] turning monitor off during pc use
Hi. just to jump into this thread, I can fully understand where the original poster is coming from. I am now 23 but at the time was 18. I really enjoy playing all in play, which does not use real money for gambling. However I would frequently find my brother would come in and say something like are you gambling again and frequently my parents would ask me for reassurance I wasn't gambling. In fact, once my father came in saw I had a bet for like 2 chips and basically said to me to prove to him I wasn't gambling. He basically said if it wasn't real I wouldn't mind disconnecting from the game mid hand. I did and of course lost my chips but I was quite annoyed. Luckily soon after I moved to a laptop and now my family don't usually come down and look at its screen. But my mum some times asks me what I am doing. If anyone knows of a program I can use to switch my laptops monitor off I would be very interested to know as its none of there business what I do at home, It of course goes off after inactivity but I would like it off completely. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] fs2004 using the ATIS
Hi list. I am wondering if someone could please tell me how I go about getting the ATIS working in fs2004? I am programming in the weather to fs2004, I tell it to use the real world weather updated every 15 minutes, and this is downloaded into the simulator. however, I then get to the point where I want to use my radios, I start hitting 1 waiting for something to happen after pressing the ` key and eventually I begin the process of starting the takeoff making my initial contact to file my flight plan. But for some reason I get no ATIS, I am sure I must be missing a trick, because I have listened to nicks podcast about the basics lots of times, and I guess I must be missing something as it just sounds to me like he is pressing the ` key, then jabbing 1 a few times to get the weather. But to be honest I found that hole beginning section of the podcast confusing, I would actually really like to see one that simply covers communications in great detail right from before takeoff to throughout a flight to landing. As his podcast kind of starts in the middle as far as a flight goes, and he doesn't give much commentry especially while getting clearance and finding out about the weather. I am also wondering what do I do with a lot of the information the ground gives me when I contact them? which is very hit and miss for me as I can't get used to the radio lol. I am talking about when it lists several runways for example like runway 1 runway 2 runway 5 and goes on about taxying? I mean I know what taxying is, but why the mentioning of all the different runways? I think if a podcast was done that actually picks apart the communication piece by piece line by line that would be extremely helpful as I know about things like setting the squork but other things are still not clear to me lol. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
