I'm guessing that the "foreign IP" they saw for you was probably the tunnel
server's IP. When you are behind a proxy, the tunnel server only sees the
IP of the proxy. The address other users see for you (presumably from the
eject dialog?) depends on the world server version:

World server versions 3.1 or earlier see the IP of the tunnel server. These
versions have no idea what a tunnel server is and when they see one, they
think it's just another user entering the world. If a firewalled user is
ejected out of a 3.1 world server, it will block the tunnel server and thus
all users anywhere using the tunnel server. And yes, this would be bad. :)
A good reason for all world owners to upgrade to the 3.2 server after 3.2 is
released.

World server version 3.2 knows what a tunnel server is, and the tunnel
server sends the world server the IP of the connection it is proxying. So
in a 3.2 world server, users will see the IP of your proxy server. In this
case, if you are ejected, it will only block out your proxy server from the
world.

The 3.2 uniserver also knows what a tunnel server is and works the same way
the 3.2 world server does as far as blocked IPs go.

Funny I do not see any attachments, maybe my Outlook Express censors them.
Go to Tools menu and choose Options and then Security tab,
and make sure that you have checked "Do not allow attachments
to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus."

How to find more about a newsgroup message's sender in OE:
- right click on the message in the messages list
- choose Properties
- choose Details tab
- copy the IP number from NNTP-Posting-Host line, e.g. 65.142.126.246
- go to some online DNS lookup service like http://network-tools.com/
- paste the number into empty field there and click Submit
- below that will appear something like
"IP address: 65.142.126.246
Host name: 0-2pool126-246.nas1.pikeville1.ky.us.da.qwest.net"
where you will see that the message originated from
a Qwest.net customer in Pikeville, Kentucky, US.

[View Quote] Ever since AW 3.0 there has been a frame rate throttle that tries to keep
the frame rate under certain number, used to be 50 but they raised it to 100 later.
It was introduced by advice from Criterion, to help certain lag situations
that Voodoo and NVidia cards had at high framerates when using RenderWare.
I don't know if that bug still exists with newer cards and Direct3D versions.
Roland thought about making the throttle user-configurable anyway.

There is also the problem that if the visibility rises too fast, then
there may be sudden pauses when lots of objects come into view
and start downloading and stuffing themselves into memory.
In preprogrammed environments it is easier to predict what is behind next cell.

This would be a nice subject to discuss at TechTalk if they still had those...

[View Quote] I'm not sure if Alex #1 was talking about 3.4 or 3.5,
but in 3.5 the buttons do not grey out at all anymore.
Maybe because they had so much trouble with them during 3.4 beta ;)

They said then something like that the view did not change
in discrete increments anymore but that they use floating point
numbers internally (although broadcast integers?),
so the view never really sets at exactly 0 pitch. So you must
click the look level button or key to look exactly level anyway.

[View Quote] Try to move or resize the main window slightly away from top right corner
of Windows desktop. Maybe start by letting a narrow slip of background
picture show beside the top and right sides of AW browser,
then close AW and come back to see if the change sticks.

When I complained about this "feature" during beta,
I got a reply that it is probably meant to prevent
the close/resize icons moving outside the desktop area,
and they may fix it later along with bigger changes to GUI.

[View Quote] Well not all commands look good on every object anyway.
Maybe sometimes you just want to go crazy with your build.
This "UV-multiplier" could be neat when testing own rwx's in AW.

Walk001 has simple UVs like "0 4" etc, so using multiplier 2.5
would make the texture tile 10 times across the surface,
and 0.25 would make it tile just once.

Of course it may take trial&error or looking inside the file
to determine the multiplier, if you want a whole integer as result.

[View Quote] Good idea :) So Immigration Officer would say e.g. "Citizen Xxxxx #nnnnn requests entry"?
Would all the people currently in the world see the requests,
or just the ones who have caretaker rights and thus can add entry rights?

The worldowner/CT could have a way to send an automatic (or manual?) response
back to the applicant via Immigration Officer, like "Sorry, private function now".
Maybe also an option not to see the requests at all, in case they start cluttering chat.
And a citizen could only request entry once per day or something, or then
it should be possible to block some individual citizens from flooding with requests.

[View Quote] I get by with these settings under Options, Settings, Performance:
- Attempt to keep the frame rate at or near: 35 meters
- but don't let the visibility drop below: 30 meters
- Limit frame rate to a maximum of about: 33 frames/sec.
If this third value was larger than the first value, then the visibility range
would start creeping up automatically, possibly hogging up CPU.

[View Quote] I didn't crash once - shouldn't a faulty object crash everybody?
However, there were lots of high-polygon avatars there, which grinded
the frame rate down to halt; especially when minimum visibility
had been set as high as 60 m in some worlds. Maybe they should only
allow 3 entries per artist to keep the avatar list length reasonable?
And I couldn't resize my window larger, because there were hundreds of
textures and pictures there, some pretty big, filling up the video card's memory
(my card is GeForce2 GTS 32 MB). But the votebot never answered me :/

I don't see how I am close to them, except for being a Gatekeeper,
in which capacity I had Mountain Myst as my team leader eons ago.

I think I got the beta because I always showed up at TechTalk
- which was because I wanted to log them - and wasn't usually bothering Roland
- which was because it was after midnight for me so I was half asleep.
I never asked to be a closed beta tester so it was a nice surprise.

Well, nice to hear that they are planning go beta soon.
