Re: [Audyssey] I'm Leaving the List
Yes, i absolutely agree Milos. But stupid blind people who thing that world is cycling around them are everywhere. I know lots of them in Czech republic as well.

All this is a kind of big crap because of many things that happen and that have happened. I respect the relatively new developer here, Jeremy, for his work. And I will continue to respect him. I respect David and Jim too. I respect Tom for his work, and his knowledge and his opinions he expressed by time. Yes, he likes to express himself in a way of long messages and such, and yes, he progresses slowly, but he progresses. And Che promissed a fighting game a year or two before. There is no trace of it. So he is the one that doesn't have the right to say what he have said about Tom. Here at us there is a stereotype that the Americans are generally stupid. Tom, Jeremy and some others made me think it's only a stereotype, but most of the other Americans I have met over Internet and other ways confirmed the stereotype. So the american stupidity combined with the blind selfishness would make me react like Tom. So Jeremy, Jim, David (if David is reading this), keep up the good work.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming with Wine under the linux
Hi Thomas, thank you, i will try it and we'll see if i'll be successful or not. By the way, when you mentioned opensapi, i tried it with acapela voices, but when i install new voice i can't see it. I still see only microsoft voices anna, sam and mike. I tried to install sapi 4 and sapi 5 voices, but i still can't see them in voice selection, what i might do to run it? On 25.6.2011 17:03, Thomas Ward wrote: Hi Petr, Storm Dragon and I are working on a faq/howto on this subject, but playing games under wine is problematic at best. Certain games such as Shades of Doom have technical problems playing under wine. For instance in Shades of Doom if you press enter to open a door the game will crash. I've experienced similar difficulties with Sarah under wine as well. Other games like Jim Kitchens games work alright provided you get all the necessary packages installed. Here is a basic list of things you need if you want to run games under wine. * Install wine 1.3 or newer. The newer the version of wine you have the less problems you will encounter. * Using winetricks install vb6run, vcruntime2005, vcruntime 2008, dinput, directmusic, directplay, directsound, xaudio, xact, and xinput. This should setup up most of the basic dependencies you will need. * Download and install Open Sapi for wine from sourceforge. Do not let it update or change your speech-dispatcher configuration or it will cause issues with Orca. * Install Jim Kitchen's winkit which will help add missing dependencies as well as give you the basic menu system for his games. * Install games you want to play or test under wine. That's basically the procedure in a nutshell. However, I will say though if you are running pulse audio you might have to make some configuration changes in order to make wine run better with pulse audio. The other option is to install the alsa-oss package and do something like "aoss wine gtc.exe" to launch something like tank commander with wine and using alsa-oss as the default sound driver.

Re: [Audyssey] for Thomas, very great news.
10.10 really rocks, especialy when you install it on clean partition, i tried to upgrade 10.04 to 10.10 first, via the do-release-upgrade -d command but i wasn't successful, so i decided to completely reinstall linux from the cd and now it is really faster, even orca response and so on.On 13.10.2010 23:31, Thomas Ward wrote: Hi Petr, I'm glad to hear it.

Re: [Audyssey] finally mota in linux
Okay, now i understand, so Beta 14 seems to be a good beginning in Linux for mota and all the versions which will follow will be better and better Dne 8.10.2010 6:19, Thomas Ward napsal(a): Hi Petr, As I said it isn't your hardware or your keyboard driver but my first attempt at a cross-platform input system at fault here. I'm working on a fix, and I believe running should not only be faster but a bit smoother in beta 15. The other issue I'm trying to fix is besides input there are some other processes running on the main thread that is causing some conflicts with keyboard input. I'm attempting to move those to separate threads, but thus far attempting to do so has resulted in the game locking up altogether. As I am still quite new to SFML etc it is going to take me a while to figure out how to do things properly and make the game run as smooth and as well as the Windows release which was mostly debugged and stable by beta 13. Now, we are set back a few steps debugging the engine again. Smile. On 10/7/10, Petr Bláha wrote: Oops, strange problem. But it is not your mystake. You couldn't know that it happens.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Beta 14 Released!
Hm, situation seems to be quite bat. Maybee only hope for us is, that wine will be better sometimes later, and it won't be run windows accessible games under it. Cause when i would know it will work, i won't regred to install all the things you mentionet, even i had to ask someone not blind for help. Dne 6.10.2010 05:40, Thomas Ward napsal(a): Hi Petr, Well, emulating Windows games under Linux is pretty much a hit or miss thing. There is an awesome commercial game emulator for Linux created by Transgaming called Cedega which supports a number of the leading games for Windows. They have a sistercommercial emulator for Mac called Cider. While Cedega and Cider are highly recommended products for serious Linux and Mac gamers they can't run everything. As it so happens most accessible games fall into that catagory. You see the problem is that a game emulator like Cedega attempts to emulate the Win32 API and DirectX, but it has no emulation for the Visual Basic 6 runtime environment or Sapi 5. So You couldn't just take one of Jim Kitchens Sapi text to speech games and run it because there is no emulation for Visual Basic programs let alone Sapi itself. So we definitely couldn't use Cedega for emulation. Well, that leaves us with wine. It is possibl to get Visual Basic 6 programs to run using Wine, but it is a major undertaking to get working. In order to get a game like Jim's games to work under Linux you have to install the official Microsoft Win32 API libraries by copying them from c:\Windows\System32 and installing them in the Wine System 32 directory and registering them. Next you have to install the Visual Basic 6 runtime which Orca can't read the setup for because it doesn't support ATK and the various other Linux accessibility libraries. After that you need to install Microsoft DirectX 9 which again will require sighted asistance because Orca can't read the setup under Wine. After that you would want to head over to Jim Kitchen's website and download and install Sapi 5.1 full install for Windows 2000/XP which again needs more sighted asistance. Assuming all that went well and all of it works you could now install Jim Kitchen's games and hopefully they will work under Wine. Unfortunately running Windows applications under Wine usually isn't that great. I did get one game running under Wine a while back, but after doing all the grunt work of getting everything installed and working the games ran really slow and crashed a lot. So Wine is still not a perfect solution for Linux gamers wanting to play Shades of Doom, Tank Commander, or anything else like that. Finally, as for recompiling Visual Basic software on Linux you can forget it. Visual Basic is 100% a Microsoft only language and technology. Proprietary to the max. The Mono Project has cloned their C# .Net language, and Microsoft has been fighting the open source community ever since all the while screaming that creating a cross-platform .Net Framework and IDE somehow violates their copyrights. So its no wonder nobody wants to come up with an open source Visual Basic compiler and runtime environment for Linux and Mac. Besides there are plenty of better solutions such as Java, Python, Ruby, etc that don't require fighting Microsoft over. Most people serious about writing Linux and Mac software tell Microsoft to take their proprietary software, programming languages, and stick it where the sun don't shine. Cheers!

Dne 6.10.2010 03:16, Thomas Ward napsal(a): Hi Petr, That would totally rock if more game developers were willing to do that, but unfortunately the large majority of VI game developers are all Visual Basic 6 programmers. They'd all have to learn something more cross-platform compatible such as C++, Python, or maybe Java to begin thinking of creating non-Windows games. Anyway, as it happens STFC 2.0 and USA Raceway both will be Linux compatible as well. I have ports planned for both of them, but right now I'm trying to get the new engine stable and get MOTA out the door first. Once that's done I don't see why I can't port STFC and Raceway over using all the new cross-platform stuff I have created for that purpose. Of course, Raceway will be tricky because in order to take advantage of force feedback I might have to use DirectX for the Windows builds because SFML's joystick support is ok, but no where as good as DirectX yet.

It is always nice to know someone else actually shares my opinions. As for going back to Windows I don't see that realistically happening. For one thing I can't afford to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 Pro, it isn't very accessible to boot, and I'd much rather use open source development tools like MinGW and Codeblocks rather than return Microsoft's over priced, increasingly less accesible ones, just to produce games for a platform I no longer use daily. Besides that I'm sure we can produce something fairly decent with the engine we now have. It is just a matter of debugging certain issues like the crashes on exit, maybe adjust some settings in OpenAL to try and get a more natural sounding pan effect, find a better way to handle input, whatever. I'm sure it all can be done with what we have once we test and debug it a bit. I don't think we really have to go back to DirectX etc to produce a good commercially viable game. On 10/5/10, Zachary Kline wrote: Hi Thomas, Speaking as someone who uses Linux daily, and used to run a Windows VM to play MOTA, I can say the cross-platform support is quite welcome.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Linux Installation Methods
Hi Thomas, just notice that i have Ubuntu installed on my dell laptop and vinux implemented in it. I rather install classic, usual distribution than the modifiet one, cause i exactly know what it contains and what it doesn't contain. So i installed Ubuntu and then found the way how to install vinux into it and it works. And my opinion is, that ubuntu linux is the best way for the people, who would like to use Linux with GUI cause they are familiar with windows and don't want to write commands via the console - it is my case by the way. Anyway, some things i rather make via the console - for example upgrading linux etc, but most of my linux work is based on it's GUI. Dne 28.9.2010 0:00, Thomas Ward napsal(a): Hi Petr, You are probably right about that. I've noticed since Ubuntu started producing an accessible Linux distribution out of the box quite a lot of the VI Linux users started using Ubuntu. Then, when Vinix came out several more went that route because Vinux offers a few extras Ubuntu doesn't such as Speakup precompiled and ready to go. There are perhaps two or three I know that run Debian itself, but most of the Debian users went Ubuntu or Vinux last I heard. As a result there is probably a high percentage that would like a *.deb package for Ubuntu 10.04 and Vinux 3.0. I know of one guy running Suse, and perhaps three or four running Fedora Linux, but those seam to be the minority now days. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Linux Installation Methods
Hi thomas, i am very happy to hear such a great news from you. My preferred installation method is the first one, or eventually the thirt one. And i thing that most of the blind users uses Ubuntu or other debian based linux distribution so they would prefer the first method as well. Dne 26.9.2010 22:04, Thomas Ward napsal(a): Hi everyone, For the past two months or so I have been engaged in modifying the Genesis Engine, and have created a cross-platform version called Open G3D which is Mac OS and Linux compatible. So as a result as of Mysteries of the Ancients beta 14 there will be an official Linux version of the game. The only question left to decide upon is what you would prefer to have in terms of an installation method for the game. The first possibility is to use a packaging tool like dpkg. The advantage here is that I could create an official *.deb package for Debian, Ubuntu, and Vinux distributions of Linux. The advantage here is that by running a command like sudo dpkg -i mota-0.14-i386.deb the package would install everything for you, and would check for dependencies such as SFML, OpenAL, etc. It would be a surefire way of knowing if the system requirements were met before installing. The disadvantage of using a specific package manager like dpkg is that not every Linux distribution out there uses dpkg. I happen to know a few who are fans of Fedora Linux which uses rpm instead. Suse Linux has a different package manager. So if I created a deb package the end user would likely have to use something like alient to convert it if they were using a non-Debian based Linux distribution. That's not quite as good as having a package specifically built for your own distribution of Linux. The second possibility is to write a custom installer such as a bash shell script that simply copies all the libraries, files, and documentation into the directories where they belong. This way is obviously the least distribution specific, and would work on just about any Linux distribution out there with the required dependencies. The only problem I have with this way is that unlike with a package manager like dpkg there really isn't a good way to check if all the requirements are met to install the program. The final possibility is to do what RS Games does and just create a zip file of the game, and have the end user extract it into his/her home directory. This is the absolutely easiest possible installation method out there, but is also kind of messy too. This method takes the least amount of work for me, but like I said it is kind of messy. Generally Linux programs are installed to /usr, /usr/local, or /opt and are not directly installed to someone's home directory. So this method of installation is really up to you guys and if you don't mind creating a Games folder in your home directory to install USA Games titles. So if any of you are Linux users and plan to download and run the Linux version of MOTA beta 14 I'd like to know in advance what is your prefered installation method. I am willing and able to do any of these options. Thanks. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] for Thomas, one more idea about gaming in Linux
Hi Thomas, you mentioned some games which are and which are not playable in linux. But what about Audioquake game? I thing it is partially based on linux, so it might not be problem to play it under this OS - what do you thing? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] games playable under the linux
Hi Thomas, i was hoping that specially you will answer my question, so thanks very much for your answers and all the information you gave to me. And i i am very looking forward to stfc under the linux, cause this game i play the most often nowadays - smiles. Tomb hunter will be also very nice if it would be under this OS. By the way - can you give me any instant messaging contact to you - i mean skype or ICQ or facebook - maybee we can discull some other topics about the linux and you can give me some more information important for me as the linux beginner. Off course only if you are not too busy. My address is hammet...@seznam.cz, there you can send me some contact information if you decide to do that. Bye for now and once again, thanks very much for your help. On 28.8.2010 06:26, Thomas Ward wrote: Hi Petr, Yes, there are some accessible games for Linux. If you are in to text adventures there is a free frotz interpretor called, frotz, that will allow you to play a number of ZCode games like the old Infocom games under Linux. There is also an accessible Adrift Runner called Scare that will allow you to play a number of Adrift text adventures as well. If you are into muds there is an accessible mud client, gnome-mud, that will allow you to play all the usual muds everyone talks about on the list. If you are looking for something more serious try FreeCiv. I've found it mostly accessible and works fairly well with Orca so far. FreeCiv is basically an accessible free clone of the old game Civilization. SoundRTS can be played on Linux too, but configuring it is a pain because it requires a number of older Python and PyGame packages that conflicts with the native Python packages that ship with Ubuntu, Vinux, and Debian, etc these days. So SoundRTS is problematic. In addition I am also working on Linux ports of STFC, MOTA, etc but those are far behind the Windows releases as these ports are primarily created for myself, but sooner or later once the Linux ports catch up with the Windows releases I'll be adding them to my products page as well. I've also got a number of text games I wrote a few years ago such as Blackjack, Yatzi, Uno, etc that were created for Linux and I eventually want to upgrade them and put them up for download as well. So Linux gaming is not only possible I have plans to add to what is out there fore Linux personally. As for using Wine to play Windows games forget it. It doesn't have all the dependencies you need and you pretty much have to install and register several dlls to get something like one of GMA's games to play. Even then the games are not stable, will crash, or run sluggishly. I did it one time with Shades of Doom, and setting Wine up to do it was a frickin' nightmare, and the end result sucked. So I don't consider Wine an option for a Linux gamer. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Linux and Gaming was debates that go nowhere
Yeah, i agree that busyness mottle you mentioned is not suitable for such a small companies like the USA games is. And as i said, i won't regred to pay for your games, even if they will be developed under the linux.Cause these games are good quality - sound, environment, good ideas and so on. I won't pay money for text games or the games like poker and so on, but for the action games, arcades, symulators, no problem for me to pay 35 or 40 or 60 USD for them. And there are also people who prefer different kinds of games and would have no problem with paying for them. So i thing that developing games cross platform which will be playable under the windows, linux, mac, and want money from customers, respectively players, is absolutely fair and i have nothing against it. Maybee one or two years later, when linux will be more popular players will be interested in accessible games running under it so you will seriously thing of developing your games in both systems - win and linux. But as you said, today blind users of computers are using mostly windows, only a few percent of them uses linux or mac, so making linux versions of your games is still quite - useless. Dne 11.7.2010 18:32, Thomas Ward napsal(a): Hi Petr, Well, there are ways to make money with open source products like Linux, but the business mottle Red Hat, ubuntu, Suse, Debian, etc use wouldn’t work for a company like USA Games. The way the open source business mottle essentially works is that the Linux Company downloads the source from the maintainers/developers, compile, and package the software and the company makes it available on the internet as a free download or a boxed product with a cd and printed manual. They can charge for the boxed copy you buy at Best Buy or other computer stores because of the printed manual and cd as that is the physical media, but the software is regarded as free. They also make most of their money through technical support services, and have certified Linux engineers set up Linux servers, networks, etc for companies which helps bring in money for the Linux developers and maintainers. All of that is well and good if you are are large Linux company who are mostly selling technical support by phone/e-mail, offer onsite setup services, etc to a company to maintain there network servers etc. It is quite another when you are a small game company like USA Games who makes all of our sales on internet downloads. In order for us to make money using the open source business mottle it would go something like this. When we release a game we would post the game and the source code on our website for free with no technical support, maybe a text version of the manual, and nothing else. Then, we’d have a shopping cart link where you could order it on cd with a Braille or audio manual and one year of technical support. As you might guess there is a lot of problems with this business mottle. For one thing if someone can get something for free they’ll download the game and source and try and figure it out before paying $35 for the physical media, tech support, and manuals. People won’t pay for something if they don’t have to. So for me to offer cd installations, Braille manuals, etc that will cost me even more to produce those materials as I have to buy the disks, burn them, to say nothing about the cost of Braille paper these days. Plus we have the added cost of shipping and handling worldwide. It is just not a practical business mottle for a small company who can’t depend on technical support phone calls, onsite setup and printed books, etc to help raise money for the company. As I said you can make good money with open source products, but only through selling support services, books, physical media, putting adds on their websites, and other things they do to make money for the company. That’s why even though I like Linux, wish more software would go open source, etc I also know the reality is that a software developer who can’t make money by selling his products is a poor programmer living on the street. So even if I do make Linux versions of my games available they’ll use a standard commercial business mottle as that happens to be the one that works in most cases. The more I earn on the sales from my games the more money I have to invest in sounds, music, acting, license libraries like FMOD for Linux, whatever. Smile.

Dne 10.7.2010 21:41, Thomas Ward napsal(a): Hi Petr, Yeah, I am also running Ubuntu 10.4. I agree that in terms of accessibility it is still the best Linux solution for someone interested in accesibility out of the box. Especially, if you have to perform a talking installation from scratch using Orca which blows Windows away right there. However, you are also right that Linux is great when it comes to using Open Office, Firefox, Evolution, etc for work, but is a bit lax in the entertainment area. Wine might be alright for running some Windows programs, but really fails when it comes to gaming. That is why I am so excited about the Cedega Project by Transgaming. It might be a commercial product, but it also is slowly beginning to attract more mainstream game developers to the platform, and they at least seam interested in giving it a try. That would be good, because if mainstream game developers begin getting in on the act, so to speak, there will be more advanced game APIs created and there will be more Linux drivers for a much wider range of game controllers available for the platform. What we have here is potential to go far, but we need someone to break the ice. As I briefly mentioned in my earlier e-mail there is no real reason we couldn't create accessible games like Mysteries of the Ancients, Shades of Doom, Q9, or whatever other than there isn't a lot of money in it. I could certainly build an engine using LibSDL for input and use OpenAL for virtual 3d audio support. I could even use Libvorbus to decompress ogg files and then pass them to OpenAL for playback and positioning. That's not really any big deal if there is some financial backing to make it worthwhile. Unfortunately, that is where the problem lies, because most Linux users are use to having free and open source software unhindered by commercial licenses. That, of course, is why it is hard to find something like Openbook or K1000 for Linux. The accessibility technology companies don't want to touch it, because they don't think they will make any money off their products. Many open source developers don't have a disibility so there isn't a huge demand for something equal to Openbook or K1000 for them. Although, I have thought several times of trying to write my own OCR package for Linux that is a clone of something like Openbook. Although, I'm not quite sure how I should license something like that since I believe that software like that should be free, but yet it wouldn't hurt to be paid something for my time and energy creating it. Anyway, I agree with you that things by and large are getting better for those of us who do use Linux. That's why eventually once Mysteries of the Ancients is released I want to do more research into creating platform specific games for Linux. I already know how to create games for Windows, but creating games for Linux requires different libraries, APIs, etc and is a new ball game. So it certainly takes more time and energy to do the proper research and development for that. Smile.

So i believe, situation will become better and better also with the entertainment area. By the way - which distribution of linux do you use? Dne 10.7.2010 18:12, Thomas Ward napsal(a): Hi Charles, Ah, as for the the Linux name that is a simple enough answer. Back in 1994 a computer programmer in Finland by the name of Linus Torvalds wanted to create a low cost Unix-like operating system that could run on a home PC rather than a big corporate or college network server. So Linus began writing his own free Unix-like operating system and since he couldn’t call it UNIX he took his first name, Linus, and crossed it with Unix, and came up with Linux as the name of his new operating system. Within a year or so of the first release of Linux various programmers around the world began developing their own distributions of the software and began marketing to companies, home users, etc. One of these small outfits was owned by a Husband and wife team Debi and Ian and they called there distribution Debian. Another outfit formed up, took a corporate mottle, and called themselves Red Hat. Over the years dozens of small and large Linux outfits have come and gone, but there are some like Debian, Red Hat, Suse, Ubuntu, etc that have remained and become leaders in the Linux community. I think one of the greatest and saddest chapters in Linux history is what happened to Loki Games. A programmer named Sam Latinga and a few other programmers got together and founded a game company called Loki Games. They purchased the Quake Engine, Doom Engine, and various other engines from mainstream software companies like ID Software and began creating ports of Doom, Quake, Civilization, and other big game titles to the Linux platform. They also single-handedly created and started a DirectX-like API for Linux called SDL that is now released under the GPL, but was initially a private game API owned by Loki Games. All of that was a great idea, might have done well now, but back then the general public wasn’t that interested in Linux. So Loki Games went bankrupt, went out of business, and they released SDL and some of there original projects into the general open source community. While their legacy lives on through software like SDL their failure has pretty much scared companies like ID Software and other companies they held licenses with into believing that Linux products are doomed to fail commercially. Personally, I believe what went wrong with Loki Games is that they were doing the right thing at the wrong time. They had the right idea to increase the Linux user base by porting big name titles to the Linux platform, but during the late 90’s Linux support wasn’t as big as it is today. Not many home users actually used it, and the main supporters of Linux back then were computer techs and your all around computer geeks like me. It wasn’t a household product, and most people didn’t even know it existed when Loki Games was around which doomed them to failure more than anything else. I don’t think anyone quite realized how much Linux would grow in the past ten to twelve years. These days Linux is a highly graphical user environment with your choice of desktop Gnome, KDE, etc. I’ve been told that the KDE 4 desktop is easily equal to Windows XP in terms of graphics and animation and is the desktop many sighted Linux users tend to pick. Although, Gnome isn’t bad with graphics and animation either, and happens to be screen reader friendly. So right there Linux is able to compete with XP in terms of a highly functional and decent looking graphical user interface. Then, Linux does have equal gaming potential with Windows. The OpenGL graphics library alone is an easy match for Microsoft’s Direct3D technology and has been used to render some extremely detailed graphics in games like Doom 3. The OpenAL library has virtual 3d support for 5.1 and 7.1 sound cards so easily can compete with DirectSound or XAudio2. With these two gaming libraries alone Linux is primed

[Audyssey] development of Night of parasite game.
Hello al, my name is Petr and i am from the Czech republic. I didn't watch this forum for a very long time, but now i subscribed again cause i have some questions to all of you who are familiar with all things happening in the world of accessible games. First, i would like to ask what is the state of the developement of Night of Parasite game. Is it finished, or is there a chance that we will be able to download any new version, somewhere in the future? I would like to run this game on the windows 7 system, which seems very problematic for now, cause game is rapidly slowing down after a few minutes of running, so i thing it needs a patch to be supported od windows 7 operating system. And off course, i would like to play more than cthree chapters, awaylable in the last release. To be honest, i have to say that it was quite difficult to beat the thirt chapter, but - when i done it, i started to ask - "what next?" What will be the next chapter? Will it be more difficult, or will we meet any new charracters, creatures, or what else?" Thanks for your answers, hope i will get some.

Re: [Audyssey] Side-scrollers vs FPS games.
I vote for FPS games. Playing of games such as Jedi knight etc would be something absolutely amazing. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 4:31 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Side-scrollers vs FPS games. > Hi all, > Over the weekend I've been doing allot of thinking about the Monty game > engine which I had design to be generic enough to be applied to new > side-scrollers.

Re: [Audyssey] Monty review feature.
Hi Thomas, i thing that it would be better with this restriction. Game is much more interesting when you go through a map and absolutely don't know who or what is waiting for you in the next room. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 9:44 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Monty review feature. > Hello listers, > In the prier demo, the one put out by Alchemy, you could use the > shift-arrows to review not only the room you were in but could search > the entire temple.
