[Audyssey] Some thoughts about sound RTS
Hello all I eventually got round to taking time to discover this game, and, it's great. I noticed in the tutorial by Che that other sounds were used, and I no discussions in this regard took place on list a few days ago, although at the time I didn't take notice, because I simply didn't regard it as important. However, could someone please tell me where to get hold of the newer sound pack for RTS? Thanks for any help, and, great tutorial Che, this certainly got me hooked!

Re: [Audyssey] train sym
Hi again all On the score of Train sims, there is a freeware train simulator available, called BVE (Boso View Express). It is not fully accessible of course, you can pick routes, and then trains to drive on the routes; you can drive and control most of the trains and such, but there's not really an indication of when you are at a station or at a red signal, or when passengers need to be picked up etc. etc. Having said that, I've never tried to use this game with JFW and the Jaws curser. Maybe that might also work, although I doubt it. You can download the simulator from the following website: http://mackoy.cool.ne.jp/index4.html Just a few notes: When you downloaded the program, you need to download and install all the routes and trains, and in some instances, consists as well. A few useful sites to obtain these from, are: www.railsimroutes.co.uk www.trainsimcentral.co.uk www.train-sim.com www.uktrainsim.com I have also produced 1 or 2 add ons for this train sim.

Re: [Audyssey] BVE train simulator
Hi there As I've said earlier, the program is partially accessible with you being allowed to control the trains, etc. I agree it could be pointless to just drive around the tracks, unless of course if you happen to pick a challenging route that has lots of curves, ups and downs, a steam loco with a heavy load. The challenge lies therein that you have to prevent the loco from coming to a complete halt on an uphill part and not sliding back down again. Or on a downhill part, it could be a challenge to keep your train under control and not allow it to run away beyond control. To achieve that you have to manipulate the engine's pressure, steam, and other controls so that it has enough power built up to get over. A perfect balance between enough steam on the one hand, and pressure on the other, needs to be maintained. As for the English, I haven't updated my version of BE for almost 2 years now. The site is Japanese, but if you download the available version, I am sure there will b be some English to help you get along. There's always the other sites I mentioned in my previous posting, with lots and lots of resources, tips, hints, etc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Orin Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 2:20 PM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] BVE train simulator Hi Quintin, I'm just wondering, if you don't know how to or you can't stop at the stations on train rutes, how can we play this?

However, the goal is for people to create their own games, and that includes their own sounds. Which is not a problem, in my opinion.

Each game needs its own sounds. And this is where the problem lies: if audio game maker is for free, you need to spend a lot of money because you need sounds for the games you create so you need to buy sound libraries. Sound libraries do cost money! Or does the developers of audio game maker supply people with sound libraries included in the package? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of AudioGames.net Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 2:25 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek Hi David, I'll try to answer that question the best I can: Every game that is created with Audio Game Maker consists of multiple files: a standard Audio Game Player.exe, some standard library files, an XML file that contains all the data of the game, and four folders that contain all the sound files that are used in the game. To distribute a game, you simply share these files with someone else (simply .zip them up and send 'm). That person does not need to have Audio Game Maker, as all games are stand-alone. However, when someone receives a game from somebody else and puts the files in the Audio Game Maker folder, that person is able to open the .XML game file using Audio Game Maker. This means that when you create a game with Audio Game Maker and distribute it (either for free, money, goats, Linden dollars or MySpace kudos) others can access your game file later on, edit it, change the soundfiles, and distribute it themselves for even more goats or red paperclips. Therefore I hope you see that once you sell one game and it's out on the Net, others can easily modify it. I personally don't have anything against you selling a game you made with Audio Game Maker (you have every right to ask for compensation for your hard work), but with how Audio Game Maker works, you probably won't make that much money. Although, I might add, I hereby dare the community to come up with your own economic system if you want ;) Like a donation system, or a ransom marketing system (you create a game but not yet release it, advertise it, and when you receives enough money in donations, you release the game for free), etc. etc.. I dare you all, folks ... (smile) ... The goals of the Audio Game Maker project are: 1) to increase the amount of audio games 2) give visually impaired wanna-be game designers a chance to develop their own audio games with a (simple) what you hear is what you get- kind of tool (at least something simpler than C++) I am personally very interested in point 1, since more games means more examples added to the discourse means more knowledge on audio game design and more examples of accessible game design for the general game industry. For us there is no financial gain in this whole project. We decided for a non-protected format for the games for several reasons. One was that it is quite hard (given the short amount of time in which Audio Game Maker is conceived) to create a tool with which one can create games that are copy-protected/piracy safe. The other was that we would like to create a community of people all developing audio games, sharing their ideas and games with each other, teaming up to build larger games together. We were thinking along the lines of this: let's say that there are a few people out there who want to build a Pong-type of game. With Audio Game Maker, once someone has finished a Pong game, others can use that game to create their own version, convert it into an Arkenoid type of game, etc. Many of you are currently into modding existing audio games. Think of this as not only being able to change each others sound files, but also take a game and make it your own. This is something that has been going
Re: [Audyssey] Learning VisualBasic
Hi Thomas Where can one find the agdev-newbies list to subscribe to it? Also, what do you think of AutoIT as a programming language? The little that I saw of it, looked quite good.

However, since I am writing this email anyway. I will answer as many questions as I can, and I have a few questions of my own. /Snip I'd like to learn how to write programs and games in VB. End Snip Is there any special reason you decided to go for Visual Basic rather than say C#, called C-Sharp. I highly recommend going with C-Sharp over VB for the primary reason many things are better documented and supported. One of these important areas in particular to you will be DirectX. While you can use MS DirectX in VB games Microsoft does not officially support it, and do not provide code samples, instructions, etc on writing games in VB .NET 2005. Snip 1. Is it possible to write good games in VB? End Snip Yes, but you will find that good and reliable documentation for newbies is extremely lacking. Visual Basic became famous among amature and rapid application developers during the 90's but it's popularity is on the decline. Most of the VB croud have switched to C-Sharp. Just some historical background when DirectX 7 and 8 came out Microsoft unvailed it with VB 6.0 examples etc and offered newbies a simple basic language with a good set of multimedia libraries for developing games and other amature home wrote applications. In 2001 Microsoft converted all there Visual Studio languages to the .NET Framework furthering increasing the power of the languages as well as a universal development platform, and unvailed a new rapid development language C#, called C-Sharp, which had many improvements over VB, used C++ style coding conventions, reused allot of concepts from Java, and became a very new and innovative language. Now, it is rising in popularity, and in some areas has passed up VB in popularity among amature programmers. In 2003 when Microsoft DirectX 9.0 was unvailed to the world the documentation was for C++ and C-Sharp users, and VB devs were left in the cold documentation and support wise. Since I know both C-Sharp and VB as well as DirectX I know I could get DirectX up and running in no time in VB, but for a newby I don't see that happening without good samples and training. Snip 2. Where can I find the toolbox? End Snip Press control+w then press the letter x. Your screen reader should land you on the toolbox area of the screen. Keep in mind there is two columns in the toolbox window. There is one side which sets the type of tools you wish to view, and the other side is the actual tools themselves. For your first experience with this I would say arrow up to have it show all tools, and then you can tab in to the tools and view the entire list. Obviously, later on you may want to customise your view as there are only certain types of tools you need for certain projects. Snip 3. Is it a good idea to create a webbrowser at first? End Snip No. Any seasoned developer will tell you that you need to start out extremely basic. For example my very very first program I wrote as a student was a text program which did nothing more than display my name on the screen. Some use hello world, your name, or whatever but the idea is to get you use to structures of programming, understanding functions, variables, data types, etc. Unless you know the basic termonology and use for things in a program you can not begin to write one. So first advice keep it simple stupid. Your first batch of programs are going to be lame, boring, throw away, projects, but worth the practice. Snip 3. Where can I find a good VB tutorial that explains all or at least most of all the features and how to use them? End Snip Well, I am very fond of recommending http://safari.oreilly.com which has books on just about any programming topic you can research for $20.00 US monthly. if you are going to do VB I suggest reading something like VB .NET In a Nutshell by O'reilly and Associates. Snip 4. Is there someone here who can program in VB and who could give me some lessons? Thanks for End Snip I know enough of VB .NET to get you started in designing games, but unfortunately I have a rather tight schedule aready and can't take on a student at this point in my life other than ocational pointers such as this email from time to time.

Re: [Audyssey] the unfortune regarding accessible games and mainstreamgames
Hi Nicol You have to remember though, that there's a difference between main stream games for the pc and play station, and other platforms such as the one you mentioned. If you look at a popular main stream game such as Flight Simulator, you will notice that it is actually much more expensive than the normal accessible games. Last I heard, (and I may be corrected), Flight Simulator e.g., costs in access of R700-1200, roughly $100-$150, if my maths isn't buggered up this early in the morning. Trainz, a game from Auran, which is also a popular main stream game, retails at roughly $69, which is about R520. That's about double the price of a normal accessible game. So to try and compare accessible games with the Nintendo platform, (mind my spelling), is in my view, a bit unfair. Just log on to www.kalahari.net and search under the games section. You'll be shocked to see what main stream games (for the pc and play station) actually sell for. Then I'm sure you will realise that accessible games isn't that expensive.

I'm not sure if this is the same as Nintendo. For you guys who first had sight, have you also played these tv games? It's a cartridge with 60 games on it which you connect to your standard tv; it's a whole procedure to configure it, because you need an extra channel for it. Anyway when I was a child, my mom bought me a cartridge with 60 games on it. I played these games with the help of my sighted friends. My mom paid r100 for the whole cartridge. ON there is games like pack man, Mario brothers, etc. It's a pitty that accessible games costs more than mainstream games on a cartridge. . Oh sorry, I forgot to say, r100 south African money is equal to 12 dollars. So for 12 dollars you get 60 main stream games, some of them are small games and some are multi level games. The obvious reason why accessible games is not that cheap is because it needs more sounds. The difference between accessible and mainstream games is that accessible games uses sounds instead of graphics, so that is why accessible games costs more. I know of many sighted kids who exchange cartridges with games between them for free. It's a pitty accessible games is not that popular. I mean a kid would go to his friend's house and give him a cartridge with newer games for free. If only accessible games were that cheep so that 60 accessible games could fit onto a cartridge and plugged into the computer and we only had to pay 12 dollars for it but the sounds it uses is much larger than sighted games. I'm just trying to discuss my point of view regarding main stream games. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Battrick
Hey Ari and all I've also recently discovered the Battrick thingie. At present I hired 5 batting, 5 bowling, 1 fitness, 1 fielding, (can't remember the rest), coaches. I don't think it's too effective, but what the heck. My team is Western Transvaal, also from South Africa, if anyone's interested.

You don't have 5 of each type of coach, I did some experimenting and see that you have 10 training sessions. Of those sessions, you hire coaches from batting, bowling, fielding, keeping, and fitness to fill these. Example, 3 batting, 3 bowling, 1 fitness, 1 keeping, and two fielding would make your 10 sessions. Your sessions would then be 3 bowling, 3 batting, etc. If you hire more than ten, those coaches just waste money (I wasted so much resource!) So, again, if I were to hire 10 fitness coaches and no others, all my 10 sessions would be just fitness, or 9 fitness and 1 bowling, the same. The new Battrick season starts on September 10, and it's going to now also have three day matches! Simon, I've found your team and have challenged you, so I think you have to go to your pavilion page to accept so we'll have a friendly. Kevin, I haven't found your team yet, is it more than one word and is it called It's not cricket? I'll look, but in case I don't find it by search, in what region of England are you? If you want to have a friendly against me, my team is called Uninspiring Batting, and it's in the Gauteng region of South Africa. Ari ___ Gamers mailing list ..
