[Audyssey] MOTA Silencing Speech Output
Hi everyone, I have some good news. After several hours of testing, experimentation, etc I have finally figured out how to silence speech output in Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 3. Fortunately, because speech now operates independantly from the input loop you can now shoot, move, whatever while speech is going at the same time. Anyway, now that I have this all working how do you want me to go about silencing speech output? I've thought about attaching the silence command to the control key. If you are listening to a high score, number of keys, whatever and want to shut up the speech just press the control key. Is everybody ok with this or do you have an alternative suggestion?

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Silencing Speech Output
Hi. Hmm, nod that might be the way to do it. Except in the menus. In the menus it would be nice if we can interrupt ourselves when we press arrow keys instead of queueing when we arrow and stuff. now that you have it able to be interrupted you might be able to put the score on the scores menu so we don't have to press enter. I'm so lazy it isn't even funny is it, lol. When I'm walking I can see myself pressing w and continuing along, I didn't let up any keys I held down shift+right arrow and hit w.. So I hear speech and I'm still walking along. speech stops and I'm still walking. I think this is good. this is the end of the game pausing when speech output is in effect isn't it. This might not be a bad thing though. The though is when you go pressing buttons to get speech to change weapons or check your ammo or what ever the monster isn't going to wait for you like a good sport. I think this is reasonable though. Often if I need to pause I just hit tab and everybody stops. Hmm, I have an idea while i'm at it, can we announce some things in the menu when we hit tab like this. I press tab I get Select a menu item. Combat knife. Down arrow repeatedly and it might sound like this 9mm pistol. 30, 5. 12 gage shotgun. 15, is drawn. healing potion. 4 Just a thought. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 2:27 PM Subject: [Audyssey] MOTA Silencing Speech Output Hi everyone, I have some good news.

I'd say go with that since the Control key is probably most accessible from the rest of the movement keys. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 12:27 PM Subject: [Audyssey] MOTA Silencing Speech Output Hi everyone, I have some good news.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Silencing Speech Output
Nice one Tom! Binding it to control seems like the safest bet to avoid confusion to me, seeing as every screen reader I can think of off the top of my head uses that key to silence it's output. I still find myself diving for the control key as a fire button if I haven't played an accessible title in some time, but I reckon that's an old habbit from playing too many old school mainstream shootemups.
