[Audyssey] smugglers 4 crew combat?

2008-09-14 Thread dark
Hi. I was wondering if anyone had tried the update 1.0H for smugglers 4 which makes the sensor screen and crew combat screen accessible. The sensor screen is great, but I'm having trouble with crew combat, I'm not sure if this is an access issue, or just a me being thick issue, so if anyone el

Hi, is this an accessible game, or does this list talk about "ordinary" games too? Just curious due to this thread. Thanks! -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Klango: chrishallsworth - Original Message - From: "dark" <[EMAIL P

Hi. In a cupple of games, like the great toy robery, are all the sounds from the game in one file. How can i make such a file and how can i do that Visual Basic 6 will load the sounds from this file? But the most question is: how can i make such a file? -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: h

Hi, in most cases this problem is solved by using resources. You create an resource-file where all sound-files (wave, mp3, what ever) stored in. Now you have to tell VB to load those sounds from that resource file, or you have to extract the sounds temporarilly to a file, play them, and delete them

Hi Chris, Officially the lists charter is for games that are accessible through accident or by design. So if you find a mainstream game that wasn't made for the blind but is fully or mostly acccessible it is on topic here. If you find a game made especially for the blind that is fully accesible

Hi Kevin, In Gold Wave press control a to select the entire wave file then control c to copy it to the buffer. Now open the next wave file and paste in the one that you copied to the buffer. That is press control p. Keep doing this until you have them all in one large wave file. HTH BFN

Hi Kevin, Well, there are several ways of packing sound files, and the method you would choose would depend on what you are looking for in a packing utility. The first method I know of is the pak file format designed for Quake 1. If you are aiming for security I would not use the pak file format,

Hi Jim, That is a resource intensive way of loading and playing sound effects in a game that might have hundreds of sound effects. In a sense you would have to have several sound buffers load that sound and then use start and stop points to play the specific sound you wanted. That is a fairly m

Hi, The most common way and the "qquick fix" way if you don't want people to easily get at your sounds is to use a resource file. The reason I say quick fix is because it's not impossible to get stuff from a resource file. For instance, there are programs that can enumerate the resource file and pr

Hi, One thing I forgot to add is another downside to resource files besides being raw data that can be enumerated through by several programs that do this kind of thing is that if you have several sounds and your resource file is big, you'll notice a decrease in performance. This is because when yo
