Ptolemy, I've already done that sun idea a couple of times. Not hard. To
make it look right though you have to make it loop, get up there in less
than a second and make it wait=100000000000 or something.

I can run Morpheus, Winamp, AW, MSN and Internet Explorer all at once on a
650 MHz with 128 MB RAM.

That removes all my fun though. I've got a blastzone out in the middle of
nowhere in AWTeen, and I do some testing of the limits of coronas. Hell,
I've made an explosive that is so violent it has been known to make AW want
to forcequit after a while! Lotsa size can make it look like an explosion.
That's why I don't want a max size. Min size, fine. But NO max size.

Aggreement from Brak too. I dislike the Gorean way myself, but I don't think

Hiyaz people.
I've noticed something in 3.3. Since I've upgraded, I do gestures and they
work just fine. But if I try and move, it just quits doing the gesture and
does the walk animation. In 3.2 and earlier it kept doing the gesture when
you moved. What's up with that? Is it just me or is it something to do with
3.3?
Thnx.
Brak

Happens to me too. VERY strange. I usually restart AW.
Another odd thing is that when I open Command via the run command in the
Start menu or I get a blue screen (anything that fills the screen) my
graphics go screwy and blank patches appear all over the place. Whassup wit
dat?

I reckon you oughta round that to something like 2 decimal places.
Thats...
51.18 km and 31.8 miles.
Reason for that is that I dun think many people would want to have to read
30 digits after the decimal place for km. It's easier to read 2 digits. Not
as precise, but easier.

Ooh...I got an idea as I was reading this thread.
Putting the box in stores may only account for the shelf price and not the
cit, but what about this:
*If you download AW, you have to pay x money for a cit, but if you bought it
for the same x amount of money, it came with a registration code on the CD
or whatever, and if you put in the registration code it would give you a cit
through that.
How does that sound?

Good LORD! How much did I miss in one week? I was away on holiday from the
10th to the 17th, I come back, check the newsgroups and see this!
I agree with fg though. I hope this can get settled. While this agreement is
being settled it's gonna cause a rumble in AW.
Personally, I don't care who owns AW. I just want it to keep going!

That's true, Chris. But then, that happened once or twice on the IRL
Survivor, so I think this "The Survivor" person is actually trying to
recreate that in AW.

Well said Goober. *claps*
On to the matter of this sex offender...
SHUT YOUR TRAP YOU SICK FREAK!!!!
I think all the previous posts are right. If you want this issue to
disappear, yelling IDIOT and being so defensive isn't gonna help. You're a
hypocrite, a sicko, and just a plainol' sunavab****!!! You say for us to
ignore it, yet you don't yourself.
So shut up, and maybe this will disappear, but if you keep being so
defensive, it will not disappear.
