A few points here
1) In Hickville, anyone that can operate a computer beyond a 3rd grade level
is a hacker by community standard, I assumed with the media being so
influential that this was also true elsewhere.
2) People fear me because I'm big, bad and can supposedly destroy their
computer
3) Most people who run a computer CAN NOT take apart a computer short of
removing the case, slapping on a couple more DIMMs and putting the case back
on. I mean total disassembly and reassembly, case modification,
overclocking, you know all the fun stuff?

Unfortunately, AWCI has been too busy with other things to open up the RWX
files and change the texturemode line. Just use landa with animates instead
of walkh's

Even other DirectSound apps don't want to start playing sound while AW is
running. Seems to happen regardless of sound settings. Go figure.
DirectSound programs tested: Winamp w/ DirectSound output plugin, Tribes in
DirectSound mode.

Crappy sound cards/drivers aren't the issue here. I use a Creative Labs
SoundBlaster Live! Value, which is industry standard. All drivers are
updated, and yet this problem still occurs. AW makes bad use of DirectSound,
that's the problem, not the hardware in this case.

In fact, just to prove this, I gathered all my audio hardware and brought it
over to this system to do some comparison testing. Here are the results.
SoundBlaster Live! Value in PCI slot 2: Sound "hogged"
Asus A7V Onboard AC '97 Audio Codec properly enabled via Jumpers: Sound
"hogged"
Creative SoundBlaster 16 ISA (Tested on different system due to my lack of
an ISA slot): Sound "hogged"
Ensoniq AudioPCI (Manufactured before Creative purchased this line) in PCI
slot 2: Sound "hogged"
Tyan Trinity S1598 onboard audio (model unknown) enabled in BIOS: Sound
"hogged"
The specs on the two systems I tested this on are as follows:
For the Asus A7V and all PCI sound cards:
Asus A7V (KT133) with onboard audio, 3 of the 5 extra USB ports installed,
neither the modem or LAN risers installed
AMD Duron 700 at 950MHz (FSB: 100MHz, multiplier: 9.5)
64mb PC133
Maxtor 20gb hard drive, 15gb free, unlimited swapfile
For Tyan Trinity S1598 and ISA cards:
Tyan Trinity S1598
AMD K6-2 550
64mb PC100
Western Digital 2gb hard drive, 250mb free, unlimited swapfile
These are obviously two completely opposite systems, and a wide range of
Audio equipment, ranging from complete lameness (Tyan onboard sound) to
l33tness (Live! Value). The software tested was the same, Activeworlds 3.1
and Winamp v2.71 in DirectSound mode (I know it's not the latest version,
but it was the version on my CD 'o Installers)

By "hog" we mean that AW is the only sound playable at the time. With older
sound cards this is normal behavior anyway as they support one, maybe 2 wavs
at a time (WAV includes wav files and all their variations such as MP3s and
DirectSound), but it sounds really cheezy when you try to listen to an MP3
on a $150 sound card. Ultima Online client version 2.0.3 also does this, but
this isn't the UO newsgroup is it? :)

This is probably the most radical change requested on this board in awhile.
AWCI should stop making additions to the current ActiveWorlds software and
make another similar product. This would NOT be renderware based, would drop
support of RWX objects and go to other formats that the new engine supports.
The old AW software would still be supported and continue functioning.
Citizenships, worlds, and universes in the new product would be offered for
FREE to all current customers of these items. Once completed and built up,
this new product could take over as AWCI's flagship, but would never
completely replace the old AW until it is no longer cost effective to
operate the older universe, at which point the primary universe would be
dropped, and no more sold allowing the remaining private universes to die
out of their own will. The new software would make use of shadows, take
advantage of modern 3d hardware, and not force itself to support older
hardware indefinitely, after a period of time when relatively few users
operate that hardware, support for it would be dropped. (Voodoo 1 for
example. Or even non-3d systems). More intuitive building would be possible,
object manipulation, etc.

4 gigs? For the amount of time it takes for them to shuffle it around and
restore from backup I'd assume it was like 80.Of course, I don't allow much
for slow backup media (lame DATs and such) or the inevitable incompetance of
those playing with the server. (Going home and eating dinner, etc.)

Go to Alphaworld. They have a background as well as fog. The background
overlaps the fog effecting objects looks demented and it looks like the
ground object turns orange after a hundred or so meters.

Download Hypersnap DX. That program rules all with screenshots. Can save in

I'm sure a couple dozen GHz of raw, unadultered CPU time for an hour or so
would render a large world. But then you'd need a 128mb GeForce III (or
better, I wunner if they'll make a 256mb version) and max out the RAM on
your custom 8 CPU motherboard that you need to make this shit.

I was thinking about rendering a full 3d image of Alphaworld, unlimited
visibility, all the fun stuff. In comes the madness amounts of horsepower.
If I remember properly, it takes 2-3 WEEKS to process the AW propdumps for
awmap.vevo.com.

Crossposting to wishlist...
REMOVING the chat limit would be completely pathetic. I don't want to listen
to a coupla tourists cybering on the other side of AW while I'm building.
It'd make the lives of PKs VERY VERY difficult. Bots on the other side of
the world could spam GZ. General chaos would ensue. I do feel that the
option to place a chat "beacon" at a location to hear what goes on there and
participate in a discussion without actually being there would be a better
option than this.

Two quick fixes for this.
1) World option (That window's getting pretty big aint it?)
2) Shows in whisper list regardless of speaking status with another notation
to seperate it from citizens/tourists/bots (like parenthesis)
Also, these things aren't visible in the 3d pane, only the whisper bar so it
isn't cluttering the world any.
This seems like an interesting concept and one that AWCI just might pick up
on since it's going in this group as well, and would make the job of
watching your world GZ or in the case of the PKs, every AWCOM GZ much, much
easier.

Regardless of range? No, just people who have CHOSEN to listen in on your
particular area and are their beacon is within the current 200m chat range.

Odd, my citizenship can only run TWO bots at a time. Am I being cheated or
are you just misinformed? Also, bot's take up annoying amounts of bandwidth
that us poor 56k and under users desperately need. Also, even at super-high
resolutions, the use of a bot requires switching between Windows, which
often slows down the "remote participant" at whatever. The chat beacons
would function exactly like a chatbot, but be based in the normal chat
window, not take up a bot space and not require a seperate uniserver login.
The beacon would be placed in a predified avatar at the world and
coordinates specified for it. For the more paranoid users, there would be an
option in the options box for the IO to notify of the arrival of a chat
beacon or bot. World owners could choose what areas to limit these goodies
to, but as they aren't annoying little shits like most bots are, they'd not
be subject to the restricted radius UNLESS the world owner set that as an
"exclusion zone".

I stand corrected, I can now run 3 bots. Last time I ever ran more than one
