I should ask though, had you ever used the sniper rifle I developed for Jedi Quake? I specifically created it so that it did three things to address all of your points. :) • it used more ammo than normal • It enabled long-range sniping • It required a delay of several seconds to fire a second shot I too, wanted very much to eliminate the whole stand in one place and hold down the control key behavior! lol! And yes, I and other players successfully and routinely tagged players from long distances and occasionally even got off a second shot too. Many of us could also dispatch them without them knowing what the heck just happened. ;) I also added an EM Pulse to Jedi Quake specifically for taking out all electronic weapons so players would need to only rely on mechanical, slower-firing weapons or weapons with limited ammo. Anyway, no worries on your opinions of the gameplay, I just want to get feedback as your point of view wasn't one I've heard in regard to AQ so far, that's all.

I'm not saying audio quake was bad, just not as precise as I would like it to be. It was a lot of fun, but too often I found myself and saw other people just holding down the control key while trying to aim with the arrow keys. It isn't really a design thing, and I think Audio Quake and road to Rage have tapped into something good. And sniping doesn't work as complexly in audio shooters as in sighted ones. Sure you have long range rifles, but I've never been able to snipe from somewhere far and above my opponent. And I think that aiming could be refined a bit more as well, so that it isn't just centre your opponent by turning and then just mashing the fire button. If you watch videos or watch sighted people playing games like Call of Duty or Counterstrike, the shots don't come nearly as often... because for one, ammo is scarce... and for another, there are more precise aiming and or lock on features. Just some thoughts. Having said that though, I love Audio Quake and Road to Rage... because they're the closest we've gotten to those types of games.

hello You make a good point, and I wish that they would start to try to figar something like that out. I think that would be very cool to pick off a zombies head, and kill them with one sshot, and maybe hear a sound like a nice ripe milon exploding to let you know that it was a good hit. grin bfn James -- From: "Clement Chou" Sent: Saturday, May 04, 2013 3:37 PM To: "Gamers Discussion list" Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was- Re: Mysteries of theAncientsConsiderations Actually, that rifle was one of the things I loved about Jedi Quake when I tried it. I got pretty good with it at one point, but haven't played AQ in so long... should probably give it a go again. I just wish we had more multiplayer fps titles. I've said before that I think Swamp's base combat and weapons would translate wonderfully to a pvp game. But it's been a dream of mine to be able to enjoy something as complex and strategic as Counterstrike for a long time, which is why I wish weapons in games like AQ would have different properties other than just rate of fire and amount of shots that it can hold, etc. The remaining thing for me too... all the audio fps titles I've played require too many shots to kill an enemy. In a mainstream shooter, it's possible if you're skilled enough to pick people off with one shot or two that are well-placed. I wish there'd be some way to implement more precise aiming. Targetting headshots is something that happens in regular shooters all the time, yet there hasn't been an implementation of that in any sort of form that I'm aware of. Swamp in particular, with the whole zombie thing would probably benefit greatly from a head shot mechanic, given the fact that in most contemporary fiction zombies die the fastest when shot in the head. - Original Message - From: "Cara Quinn" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Saturday, May 04, 2013 12:38 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was- Re: Mysteries of the AncientsConsiderations Hey there, thank you!

Clement, the details surrounding the RPG are a little more fuzzy, which is why I've left them out.

One notable feature of the RPG is that I'm trying to build the entire game using accessible tools, which I'm designing first of course. The goal is to be able to say that the community has access to the exact same tools that were used to create the game, proving that custom adventures, monsters, and maps can be made that match the rest of the game in terms of quality and complexity. People will be able to set up their own servers running their own custom map and campaigns. I say map instead of maps because the game engine turns all of the map data into a single map rather than needing to split it up like many games do. If we compare this to Swamp maps, I believe I previously figured out that this game could run a map more than a million times the size.

Re: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was- Re: Mysteries of theAncientsConsiderations
Hi Cara, no I didn't know that you could use the mouse like that in audio quake. So if I download the standard audio quake version can I use the mouse like that or do I need a mod'd version of the game? I do actually have to confess that audio quake was the first game I played when I lost my sight since I had played it before and loved the idea of a main stream game still being playable , but since I had never played an audio game before I was a bit overwhelmed as it seemed quite complex since I'd never played an audio game and wasn't used to using my hearing to play a game. So I started on more basic games like (and still a favourite) dark destroyer (a space invaders type game) and then progressed up to more complex games but I've actually never got back round to trying audio quake now I'm more used to the audio concept in games and both this thread and the idea of using a mouse to aim with has inspired me to go give it another try and see how well I do this time, it can't be as bad as I did before lol -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Cara Quinn Sent: 05 May 2013 02:48 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was- Re: Mysteries of theAncientsConsiderations Paul, you're right. when a player was above you you would hear a rising tone and a falling tone would sound when a player was below you. What you and others may not know is that you could enable the mouse so you could fluidly look up, down, or left / right to move or target as well. So head shots were actually possible though there was no accessibility features implemented to make this easier for VI players. Since Audio quake is itself a mod of Quake, in order to create mods of Audio Quake you must actually know how to code the game. You need to use Quake C to do this so it's actually quite a nice easy way of coding yet not coding the game! lol! What I mean is that while you could create new game elements from the ground up you didn't need to if you didn't want to. You could also simply just rely on game elements which were already created. this made game modding quite fun and rewarding. Anyway, I guess my point is that more things are possible with quake and its three current accessible mods. Really the sky is the limit and I hope people still consider working with it.

Have played many main stream zombie games such as resident evil and have always loved the ability to head shot and take out a zombie with just one shot, there's just something very satisfying about it lol. I know Jeremy's not planning on any more updates to swamp but maybe if he did as a compromise to not make it seem to complex that people don't want to try it maybe there could be that head shot choice just when using the sniper.

What audio gamers consider a difficult game would be standard affair for mainstream gamers, and I think that headshot aspect should've remained in, especially since it wasn't technically necessary. I'm curious though... how would you have people centre the sound in both horrizontal and vertical planes? Most headphones can't handle up and down all that well when panning sounds, at least, not that I know... I was thinking to have some sort of elongated sound for when you were lined up for a headshot.

Re: [Audyssey] Some updates on what I'm up to, since I forget to keep audyssey in the loop.
Hi Cara, the problem with linking this device with the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, is that it would either have to be wireless, with a Bluetooth connection, or a lightning connector, or the older 30 pin connector. And as he has already stated, aprone has already constructed the device, and a wireless connection would be too expensive to incorporate. And to incorporate anything like the dock connector, or lightning connector, would be very difficult. And it would mean that you would have to have a separate device, for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touches. Separate completely, from the original device type, which is USB. Although I agree, it would be handy, I think the current abilities of the iPhones, iPods, Andy limited degree of iPad support, is more than enough for most games.

Re: [Audyssey] Some updates on what I'm up to, since I forget to keep audyssey in the loop.
How much is this wireless headset going to cost us? Would it work with say Three-D velosity and other games like the blind software games and the games like aliens in the outback and other BE games? Now this would bring us one step closer to maybe a little pain if we could use it with blast chamber. To bad we can't get a belt of some type to come with it for that workout while playing that favorite game of yours. Don't get hit or shot or fall into one of those deep holes. Please get back to me. I am using a platronics wirless headset with a boom mic on it for Microsoft flight simulator and the third party voice input program It's Your Plane. Man, if we could get this project off of the ground. Thanks.

Jeremy, the new piece of hardware does sound truly awesome, and the fact that it's called 'See monkey' only makes it more awesome! I really do think that it could revolutionise audio games and when its ready I will definitely be buying one. Also the fact that you're working on an RPG is also great news I'm a big RPG fan so look forward to the game and then using it with the new software.

Hi Lenron, If you are interested in learning to program I can think of a couple of places to get started. If you are a citizen of the United States and have a Bookshare account they have a number of books from O'reilly on their web site on a number of programming languages such as Visual Basic .NET. If you want a larger selection and are willing to spend $50 a month you can get a Safari account on http://safari.oreilly.com and read hundreds of programming books on various languages, math and physics used in games, and tech articles, etc. Its a pretty awesome deal for a person wanting college level and corporate level documentation.

Re: [Audyssey] Message for Draconis.
Hi Ryan, As of now, the only game we have updated to the new game engine is ChangeReaction. That leaves Alien Outback, DynaMan, and 9 pinball tables available with scoreboard support. We're not expecting users to go back to the old CR to post scores. When we suggest that users can show us they want this support, we're talking about the eleven other boards that are currently up and running. Scoreboard usage has never been all that high in comparison to the number of games sold, so it is hard to justify putting the time and resources into doing this for such a small number of users. if we can see that more than a handful of folks want this feature, it would bump it up on the priority list. I think this is perfectly reasonable. We're certainly not suggesting you play the old CR just to post scores. Hope this clears things up for you.

Looking for advice on a simple starter system in the realms of fantasy, D&D type thing, but need the DM material to be accessible for me.

Re: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was- Re: Mysteries of theAncientsConsiderations
Hi Paul, Wow, the first game you played after losing your sight? Yes, the interface is sort of complex if you're not used to it. I too needed to play with it for a little while to understand it as I had some sighted expectations which I needed to translate into audio. In order to use the mouse, you'll need to install Jedi Quake in addition to the basic Audio Quake. Someone a few years back, took development of JQ a bit further from where I'd left it so I'm not sure of the current state of JQ. Nor am I sure where to get the latest version. I'll do a little digging both for the version I left off with and the latest one. Not sure of all the changes the new person added but since it is an open source project, I only asked that people be clear in crediting everyone for their contributions so hopefully the docs will reflect that. Anyway, I'l write back with what I find and I'd also welcome feedback from others whom might have kept up with JQ and know the current state of affairs more than I do. :) Thanks, and let's see what we can find… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On May 5, 2013, at 4:14 AM, Paul Lemm wrote: Hi Cara, no I didn't know that you could use the mouse like that in audio quake. So if I download the standard audio quake version can I use the mouse like that or do I need a mod'd version of the game? I do actually have to confess that audio quake was the first game I played when I lost my sight since I had played it before and loved the idea of a main stream game still being playable , but since I had never played an audio game before I was a bit overwhelmed as it seemed quite complex since I'd never played an audio game and wasn't used to using my hearing to play a game. So I started on more basic games like (and still a favourite) dark destroyer (a space invaders type game) and then progressed up to more complex games but I've actually never got back round to trying audio quake now I'm more used to the audio concept in games and both this thread and the idea of using a mouse to aim with has inspired me to go give it another try and see how well I do this time, it can't be as bad as I did before lol -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Cara Quinn Sent: 05 May 2013 02:48 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was- Re: Mysteries of theAncientsConsiderations Paul, you're right. when a player was above you you would hear a rising tone and a falling tone would sound when a player was below you. What you and others may not know is that you could enable the mouse so you could fluidly look up, down, or left / right to move or target as well. So head shots were actually possible though there was no accessibility features implemented to make this easier for VI players. Since Audio quake is itself a mod of Quake, in order to create mods of Audio Quake you must actually know how to code the game. You need to use Quake C to do this so it's actually quite a nice easy way of coding yet not coding the game! lol! What I mean is that while you could create new game elements from the ground up you didn't need to if you didn't want to. You could also simply just rely on game elements which were already created. this made game modding quite fun and rewarding. Anyway, I guess my point is that more things are possible with quake and its three current accessible mods. Really the sky is the limit and I hope people still consider working with it.

Have played many main stream zombie games such as resident evil and have always loved the ability to head shot and take out a zombie with just one shot, there's just something very satisfying about it lol. I know Jeremy's not planning on any more updates to swamp but maybe if he did as a compromise to not make it seem to complex that people don't want to try it maybe there could be that head shot choice just when using the sniper. Even without the head shots though swamp is still an amazing game and to me feels like playing a main stream game already and I look forward to seeing what Jeremy produces next. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Clement Chou Sent: 04 May 2013 22:16 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was-

Re: [Audyssey] First Time RP with my Son
Hi. I don't know what MERP is. However, I'd recommend Dragonstorm www.dragonstorm.com All of the character info is on cards and I have them all typed up in accessible format as an Excel spread sheet. You can also print out the PDFs from the website and cut them out. They have pictures on them which your son might enjoy. The creators of the game know I had a friend type out the cards for me and they are fine with me sharing them. Basically, the PCs are Shifters who fight necromancers. You have your natural form-human, Tigrean, Elf, Dwarf, and so on and you can change into a wolf, cat, Dragon, Gargoyle, wererat, Pegasus, Unicorn, Phoenix, Griffin...you get the idea. The dice mechanic is very simple. You roll 2d6 and add any modifiers. A natural 2 is a botch and something bad happens. Please let me know if you have any questions. I also attended a game for children at Gencon a couple years ago. The PCs were all stuffed animals, literaly. Each player picked a stuffed animal and they all went on an adventure to rescue their humans from pirates. It was very cute.

When we suggest that users can show us they want this support, we're talking about the eleven other boards that are currently up and running. Scoreboard usage has never been all that high in comparison to the number of games sold, so it is hard to justify putting the time and resources into doing this for such a small number of users. if we can see that more than a handful of folks want this feature, it would bump it up on the priority list. I think this is perfectly reasonable. We're certainly not suggesting you play the old CR just to post scores. Hope this clears things up for you.

I suppose that is probably the same thing other people think of when they hear head set. I guess I have a broader definition in mind because I can picture a handful of different devices that are all referred to as "head sets" that are not headphones. Microphone headsets, medical EEG monitoring headsets, various head mounted visual displays, and so forth. I'll try to catch myself next time I start to type head set though, haha!

Yes, the interface is sort of complex if you're not used to it. I too needed to play with it for a little while to understand it as I had some sighted expectations which I needed to translate into audio. In order to use the mouse, you'll need to install Jedi Quake in addition to the basic Audio Quake. Someone a few years back, took development of JQ a bit further from where I'd left it so I'm not sure of the current state of JQ. Nor am I sure where to get the latest version. I'll do a little digging both for the version I left off with and the latest one. Not sure of all the changes the new person added but since it is an open source project, I only asked that people be clear in crediting everyone for their contributions so hopefully the docs will reflect that. Anyway, I'l write back with what I find and I'd also welcome feedback from others whom might have kept up with JQ and know the current state of affairs more than I do. :) Thanks, and let's see what we can find.

So if I download the standard audio quake version can I use the mouse like that or do I need a mod'd version of the game? I do actually have to confess that audio quake was the first game I played when I lost my sight since I had played it before and loved the idea of a main stream game still being playable , but since I had never played an audio game before I was a bit overwhelmed as it seemed quite complex since I'd never played an audio game and wasn't used to using my hearing to play a game. So I started on more basic games like (and still a favourite) dark destroyer (a space invaders type game) and then progressed up to more complex games but I've actually never got back round to trying audio quake now I'm more used to the audio concept in games and both this thread and the idea of using a mouse to aim with has inspired me to go give it another try and see how well I do this time, it can't be as bad as I did before lol -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Cara Quinn Sent: 05 May 2013 02:48 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was- Re: Mysteries of theAncientsConsiderations Paul, you're right. when a player was above you you would hear a rising tone and a falling tone would sound when a player was below you. What you and others may not know is that you could enable the mouse so you could fluidly look up, down, or left / right to move or target as well. So head shots were actually possible though there was no accessibility features implemented to make this easier for VI players. Since Audio quake is itself a mod of Quake, in order to create mods of Audio Quake you must actually know how to code the game. You need to use Quake C to do this so it's actually quite a nice easy way of coding yet not coding the game! lol! What I mean is that while you could create new game elements from the ground up you didn't need to if you didn't want to. You could also simply just rely on game elements which were already created. this made game modding quite fun and rewarding. Anyway, I guess my point is that more things are possible with quake and its three current accessible mods. Really the sky is the limit and I hope people still consider working with it.

Have played many main stream zombie games such as resident evil and have always loved the ability to head shot and take out a zombie with just one shot, there's just something very satisfying about it lol.

And to incorporate anything like the dock connector, or lightning connector, would be very difficult.

[Audyssey] 3D Velocity and workouts in games -was- Re: Some updates on what I'm up to, since I forget to keep audyssey in the loop.
Hi there, firstly, I'm wondering if there is an audio demo online of 3D Velocity? I've Googled and found a bunch of broken / outdated links. What am I missing? ;) ON the subject of workouts in games, as I'd mentioned to Jeremy, I'm currently incorporating the idea of using the compass and accelerometers in a first person 3D environment with the iPhone so you can actually turn your body to turn your avatar as well as tilt / move the phone to perform actions. Obviously there is also use of the touch screen but one idea that other games sometimes use is to employ the accelerometers to monitor steps. (think Zombies run) While this doesn't really apply to the current project I'm working on, it is something I'm thinking of adding as I really like the idea of getting your body involved in a game. I also like fast action 3D so we'll see what is in the cards. :) thanks for this topic All!

When you project a vector on to another vector, you're simply adding the components of one vector to the components of another. As in: 0,2,0 + 1,0,0 = 1,2,0 So this process is just adding the x, y, and z components of each vector separately as in: 0 + 1 = 1 2 + 0 = 2 0 + 0 = 0 So this is great but why would we want to do this? Let's think of the first vector above (0,2,0) as perhaps a boat on an ocean. This boat is traveling north in our game world, at 2 units per some amount of time. Let's think of the second vector as a wind blowing toward the east at 1 unit per some amount of time. You can see where I'm going with this. ;) If we apply the wind to the boat's motion, we end up with the boat traveling to the coordinates 1,2,0 at the end of our given amount of time. If the boat captain continues to steer the boat due north at the same speed (0,2,0) the wind will still be blowing due east (1,0,0) and thus again blow the boat to the ending coordinates of (1,2,0) again as the next unit of time passes. We can actually use projection to simulate various forces acting on entities in our game world; wind, thrust, gravity, drag, friction. etc. Let's look at the above projection in a different way now. Instead of the boat captain steering the boat against the wind, perhaps the captain is asleep and the boat is adrift. Don't worry, we won't let him go very far. :) So we have our boat starting out moving north at (0,2,0). We have our wind steadily blowing at (1,0,0). Project the wind on to the boat's motion and you end up with the boat at (1,2,0)

What? I think you better send me a link. Whatever's in your address bar when the captcha comes up, so I can see it. I, the developer, don't believe it.

Re: [Audyssey] 3D Velocity and workouts in games -was- Re: Some updates on what I'm up to, since I forget to keep audyssey in the loop.
Hi Cara, Well, speaking of working out in games one thing I want to research for my own games is Wii-Mote support. I heard some other developers like Che from Blind Adrenaline and a couple of others were looking into it, but I haven't heard any more about it since then. If audio gamers could support the Wii-Motes in their games that would bring in a hole slue of wireless devices that could be used to get a gamer physically into the game which could itself revolutionize the types of games available for blind gamers. For example, one of the devices my wife and I have is a snowboard which is wireless. We mainly use it with Wii Olympics when snowboarding down hills and around trees and things. The board senses movement of the board so all you need to do is tilt one way or the other to turn or avoid trees and things of that nature. Just imagine if that technology could be added to an audio game. Someone could wear a wireless set of headphones, stand on a snowboard, and go snowboarding down hills in an accessible version of Wii Olympics, or at least something like it. Either that or someone could develop an accessible surfing game where you try to catch the largest waves without falling off. Lots of interesting ideas with that one device. With the standard Wii-Mote you could simulate sword fights, light saber duels, and other forms of physical combat just by having the gamer stand there with a Wii-Mote in his/her hands and them go through the motions of a furious fight with an enemy which gets passed wirelessly to the computer game. Cool stuff. Cheers! On 5/5/13, Cara Quinn wrote: > Hi there, > > firstly, I'm wondering if there is an audio demo online of 3D Velocity? I've > Googled and found a bunch of broken / outdated links.

Re: [Audyssey] Magicassette, new text adventure game, out now
Hi Tyler, The next time I get a chance to play the game I'll do that, but you better believe it. After playing a few minutes it always gives me an error that the page limit has been reached and please fill in the CAPCHA to continue with the game. Believe me it is quite annoying, and I'm not the only one who has seen this problem. Don't you think two different people validating the same thing is evidence that something is going on?

[Audyssey] shades of doom and gtc and windows7
Hi all. Today I was fiddling round with my box while setting it up. or rather continuing to do so. I decided to play sod I assume this is going to be the same issue on gtc to not sure about lonewolf. I can navigate and shoot ok. if I find say a door, or an object to pick up it stays in the same position no matter where I am. I even have the sound at full 3d mode and no real change. otherwise the game works quite well. If this thing can only work on xp properly then that potentually could become an issue as xp is retired. is there any way to get round the issue and have the game play as it should or do I just muddle through. Otherwise the gameplay on my new hd card really sounds realistic with a wide stereo image and I sertainly know where I am and where enemies are coming from though there is no variation if its coming from the left then its really at the left. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] shades of doom and gtc and windows7
Hi Shaun, The problem is that Directsound 8 is not properly emulated on newer versions of Windows. The virtual 3d audio support is broken on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8, and especially when it comes to hardware mixing. The simple solution to this problem is when and where possible set the games up for simple 2d stereo panning. I know in Shades of Doom, for example, you can go into settings and use stereo output which works on Windows 7, but the virtual 3d does not work correctly if at all with some games. So hope that answers your questions. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] shades of doom and gtc and windows7
Yeah I set the games to stereo always have done however the objects all over the place stay stationary it just makes it harder to play.
