So temporary suspensions aren't good enough? You want to segregate the community into two groups? How would people be classified as "respectful"? Facter said he was going to start handing out suspensions; that should stop the "flamers and posts with attacks" that you're so worried about.

No, you said you want a separate "forum" (newsgroup, whatever) for those users who are "respectful". What do you mean by respectful, and why do we need another area when this one is (supposedly) going to be policed (even though a lot more loosely) again?

I "deduced" the location of an avatar on the AWBuild object path... put it into modeler with all of it's textures and voila! http://hairsquare.virtualave.net/images/andrew3.jpg

This looks a little more detailed than the avatars currently in use in AW... Looks pretty cool, if you ask me :)

Yeah, the shirt was just a couple of textures that had been "painted" with shadows already in it.

That's not what opens more than one browser. You have to hex-edit the file and change the "Window Class" of the browser. AW checks when it starts if there's another running and if it finds it's Window Class, then it won't run.

Yes, I heard you could do that, but it would have to be done fairly fast I think.

Uhh... it likely does the hex-editing and is therefore not legal...

That wouldn't let you run more than one copy of the browser at once.

Yes, he already told us that. The program has to edit the browser for it to be able to run to copies at once.

Alright, then why do you need to use that program? Copy your Activeworlds directory by hand and try running two copies... won't work.

A bot would have to be logged in under that citizen number... Likely, because it's expired, the bot can't use the citizen number to log in.

It has to log a bot in so that citizens can only check their own property.

No, you don't get it. He doesn't have access to any "cit/privs database", he logs in a bot to check that you are who you say you are. *THEN* it will search the propdump. It doesn't use a bot to look for property, just to verify identity.

While that *might* be the case, he's still only using it for authorization. Secondly, I don't know what "trends" you're talking about, but I've only heard of a few bots controlled via PHP webpages, etc.

It's not a "new trend" as only a couple of people have programmed them.

Should've replied with my feelings about their reply earlier... Goober pretty much summed everything up, but I'd like to add a little.

I think it'd be great if (even one of the) AWC management people held something like Roland's TechTalk every week. Something like bi-weekly would probably be great as well. Citizens could come and talk to/at them and see what exactly is going on. Participating in the "community" like this is something that everybody would benefit from. Citizens would have a better grasp of *why* some decisions were made, and hopefully AWC would ask our opinion of things they're thinking about.

If this is impossible, at least set up a group of citizens that could "advise" AWC on certain issues. It'd have to be a very diverse group (maybe even with regular elections...) in order to represent the user base, but it could work.

Once again, how are we to *really* know unless they get involved in the "community"?

Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that, but I generally agree...

Basically, if what you posted was true, don't shy away from it just because someone might not like you. On the other hand, before you post something like you did, make sure you have the facts right.

BTW Gamer, which parts of your original post were untrue?

Since Facter mentioned that he was working on a new site, I was wondering when it will be open to the public. Apparently, when you said that you had "a deadline" on Aug. 1 you didn't mean that the site would be up for then.

I'm sure he's referring to the conversation I had with him. One way to implement custom avatars is to add a field to every citizen record that allows people to specify a URL to grab the RWX file from. This would allow avatars that people could change whenever they wanted to. AW already has all of the code necessary to download, cache, and display avatars, so getting them from a different location shouldn't be *that* hard. The only problem that might occur would be with the additions to the citizen database and uniserver->browser protocol. Without looking at AW's code, I can't know how hard changes to those systems are.

From talking to Roland, it seems it would be easy to implement the way I suggested, but it would cause lots of problems. Roland described what they were to me and I agreed that the way I suggested wasn't the best way to go about it.

Rick: Can't.
Roland: Can't, because ...

No adding such a field isn't difficult,the problem is that is a woefully inadequate implementation of custom avatars...it is much more complicated than that...we've talked about the issues many times at tech talk.

Encrypted Transmission from Roland, sent Tue Aug 7, 2001 4:55 PM:
Examples of some of the issues are...if it uses textures, where do they come from? If it uses sequences, where do they come from? How do you specifiy what sequences it uses? How and where does it get cached?

Encrypted Transmission from Roland, sent Tue Aug 7, 2001 4:55 PM:
How do you prevent other people from stealing it? How do you prevent people from using avatars that are too large...both in terms of file size, physical size, and polygon/vertex limits, textures, etc? How do you determine what those limits should be?
