i'm back.

Post by Gandalf The White » Tue, 12. Feb 19, 12:59

hi all. i used to be daz many years ago. back in the xt and xbtf days when we borons were putting the boot into the split.
anyway thought would put a message out there to say hi and to see if anybody from the old days is about.
i'm playing x3AP at the moment although am doing it in a totally different way now. i lost what sight i had a few years ago and thought could never play these games again so i got rid of all my x games. boy that was painful i loved them. someone on the forum audiogames.net is in the process of writing scripts to help make the game much more accessible and it seems to be working. so yes i'm glad to be back in the seat again. ok it's not x4 but not sure we can do much with x4 not at this stage anyway.
so yup i am back so thought would drop in and say hi and hope some of the gang are still about.

Glad that you're back and able to play again. There's a few if us left from that era still kicking about.

I remember you, Daz--sorry to hear you lost your sight, I recall you having very poor vision back then. Glad to hear you're able to play the games still!

I am not sure we've crossed paths, though your nick rings a bell.

In any case, - welcome back! And I hope you can enjoy the games again

yeah i recognise both names. oh yes good old max force. hmmm and the enemy pirate name was? oh law or something like that wasn't it? that third instalment was really good. i remember when Steve was releasing those stories segment by segment. they were so good and was one of the highlights of the forum at that time.
yeah i am enjoying the game again. currantly selling meetstakes. from bakeries to trade stations. the person that is writing the scripts basically what they are doing is writing them so certain screens are output to textfiles. for example the trade screens. so we can see the prices of things with our screen readers. i'm using one called NVDA. i think the problem he's having at the moment is to get the trade system extention to work with a script. when using it with navsats by that i mean intersector uses. i'm hoping he can make the factory screen workable. especially changing the friend foe options etc.

You should compare notes with CaplinCaplin. That could be mutually beneficial.

hi,

yeah i think that's the guy that's writing the scripts am not sure though as uncertain as to what his forum name here is. but the dates do correspond to when we started playing x3tc and now AP.

Ditto to what pj said, I remember you telling us your sight was going to fail. I wondered now and again what you were doing..infact just the other day I was looking at the first gathering of X fans, and the picts that were taken, saw your face and wondered ...Whats he up to.

Glad you can still play some X! and welcome back.

i remember the one at the observatory in Manchester a little after xt was released we were all talking about x2 and what we wanted. my father drove me up from London i missed all but an hour of it lol. really annoying. now i'm getting back into the fold again am hoping there's another x-con where we borons can kick your split butts!!! seriously it would be cool to have another x-con have a few pints share a few war and trade stories and maybe some meetstakes

That'd be fun, and a good excuse for me to fly to Europe.

In X3 days, I was just a pirate, with no race, no face, and... no money.

Welcome back. Steel has posted recently, and I talked to Helge in person last weekend so I can definitely vouch for his continued existence! The others you mention haven't been around for a while.

nice to see you about cbj. it's nice to be back in the fold and to see that the whole ethos of the forum doesn't seem to have changed in that people are still really helpful like they used to be.

Very sorry to hear about your sight, Daz, think it's great you've found a way to still enjoy the games and hope you still get a lot out of them. =)
