I know what "yiff" is ;D It has two fs!
Maybe things were different back when you were on AW, but there are some very conservative people on AW. They don't really band together as an identifiable group but it can be annoying when they expect everyone else to be like they are. [View Quote] AW4 vs. SL featuresMar 15, 2006, 3:58pm
4 1 Release updateApr 6, 2006, 12:18pm
First of all, Stagecoach Island is a 4.1 galaxy server, while Active
Worlds is currently a 3.6 uniserver. The issue is one of backwards compatibility. 4.1 worlds are quite different to 3.6 worlds, and getting the new 4.1 uniserver and client to work smoothly with 3.6 worlds is quite a task. Also, the Wells Fargo project didn't have to tackle the task of converting a 3.6 world to a 4.1 world. Also, the Wells Fargo project does not include some 4.1 features, notably: - Voice chat - Personal avatars (the Wells Fargo avatar customisation is not a 4.1 feature, it is a custom feature for their galaxy) So no, it's not that 4.1 only works if you're a bank. It's that 4.1 only works if you're a private client looking for a modified version to cut out some unfinished features and if you're starting a 4.1 world from scratch.

Like many other loyal Active Worlds customers, I felt very disappointed
and betrayed when I found that the announcement of 4.1 in AWGate today was just an April Fools prank. We have been waiting for 4.1 for months, and many of us have been very excited. I am sick and tired of being lied to by AWI, with continual broken promises about 4.1's release date. It was not funny and was very insensitive to use our anticipation against us like this. So to all those reading this newsgroup post, I have just one thing to say: April Fools. I happened to think the prank was funny, and if you were upset by it, I think you really need to reevaluate how much importance you place in AW. When I saw people getting mad at this, I could only think: "Get a life. A real one." Honestly, how sad is it to consider the joke "poor taste"? Jokes about the disabled are poor taste. Pranking people about a computer program is not. I am very glad that these people don't seem to represent the majority: Azraeleus: okay whoever is responsible for this needs to be hurt Gent: from what I can see, this is in VERY poor taste, given how long people have waited, and how many people have left AW for SL Veger o: OH FUNNY yual tell them its a joke but NOT ME shala PR: NOT freaking funny 4.1 April Fools PrankApr 3, 2006, 7:40pm
Please read my post all the way through ;D
Although I agree that Rick Noll has not been setting realistic deadlines. [View Quote] 4.1 April Fools PrankApr 5, 2006, 8:15pm
Yes, because 4.1 coming out will so be like going to Disneyland.
One difference here: 4.1 is still coming out, it just didn't happen on the 1st of April. Tell me, what feature about 4.1 are you most looking forward to? Y'know what I am probably looking forward to most? Finally being able to dock the damn contacts list again. The way it used to be back in the good ol' days. Either I never noticed how retarded everyone was back then, or the average AW user was less retarded. I stand by my sweeping statement. kthxgoodnite [View Quote] Free CitizenshipApr 6, 2006, 12:04pm
I really don't think it's insensitive. It's AWEC's fault your event
wasn't listed, nobody else's. You could still have posted about it here, and I told you I'd be happy to list it on the AWEO calendar, but you decided to just cancel it instead. [View Quote] Free CitizenshipApr 6, 2006, 12:05pm
Except it's hosted on awcommunity.org, so we really should be able to
tell them to shape up. AWI is providing them with resources, and they're using them badly. [View Quote] Robbie's TrueSpace TutorialsMay 10, 2006, 9:56pm
The attraction of Robbie's tutorials is that they're tailored
specifically to using TrueSpace to model for Active Worlds. It covered some Active Worlds specific things that have to be taken into account (e.g. shader attributes) that other tutorials wouldn't, no matter how detailed they were, unless they were made for an AW audience. Though of course any tutorial should help in its own way, I'm surprised Robbie's has disappeared. It was mirrored in quite a few places.

Yeah, but remember MIDIs do not sound the same on every system. It all
depends on the MIDI drivers. [View Quote] 4.1 does NOT workJun 8, 2006, 8:15pm
Before jumping to blaming AW 4.1, have you considered that it may be
your video drivers or your DirectX version? Upgrade both to their latest stable release. 4.1 will be designed to work with these, which may be where your problem is coming from. If this doesn't fix the problem then contact AWI instead of complaining about it here. [View Quote] An intriguing question...Jun 8, 2006, 8:03pm

CyVoteJun 11, 2006, 6:35pm
You go to the webpage after you've gotten the password from in-world.
The voting itself isn't done by bot. If you trust someone else enough to use your citizenship, or if you could have access to an XP computer for a while, you could enter Cyawards world. It only takes a moment to click the star, and once the bot's given you your password, you can note it down and vote on the webpage at your convenience.

I have Winamp set as my default media player but media commands still
work fine for me in AW. It's actually a very well behaved peice of software. I wasn't aware it could take over WMP functions. [View Quote] To Rick and JP...Jun 28, 2006, 5:18pm
I realise your reluctance to give everyone V4 object rights in
AlphaWorld. However, as you have done this in Atlantis, I wonder if it would be too much to ask for COFMeta to see some of that sweet V4 action also. Enabling global events would be nice too (this being something you have done in AlphaWorld). Adding the standard c_ corona and your new p_ particle textures to COFMeta's object path would also be easily done. If would be fair to say that Metatropolis is an abandoned world, so my final request may be a little overambitious. However, COFMeta's ground object is woefully undersized. It doesn't even extend beyond maximum visibility. Replacing it with a retextured version of AlphaWorld's ground object wouldn't be hugely difficult. Thankyou. To Rick and JP...Jun 28, 2006, 5:27pm

Oh and also, the pictwlls and the pictwlks in COFMeta would be very useful.
[AW Reunion 2007] Where To Next?Jul 26, 2006, 1:43am
The "main" reuinion I would say would be the one that's organised by or
sponsored by AWI. I'm going to have an AW reunion with myself at my house tomorrow and it's going to be the best reunion of them all. [View Quote] [AW Reunion 2007] Where To Next?Jul 30, 2006, 8:38am
Also, they provide webcam feeds at AW GZ, and they advertise it.
There is an official reunion, and it is more official than Cablecar Gal's. Deal with it. I'd suggest that Cablecar Gal decides on a name for hers if she hasn't already, to differentiate it from the official reunion. [View Quote] [AW Reunion 2007] Where To Next?Jul 30, 2006, 8:39am
[AW Reunion 2007] Where To Next?Jul 30, 2006, 4:55pm
Even if their sponsorship just amounted to them giving their assent and
a guarantee that they trust the organisers and expect the thing to go well, it still makes the thing the 'official' reunion. All I'm worried about is people going out for reunions and finding the whole thing a total failure. Actually I'm not really that worried about it. But still, there is a tendancy in the Active Worlds community to give jobs to friends or just the people who act nicest, rather than the people who would be best suited for it.

Who's next to get banned, when is it gonna end?Jul 30, 2006, 8:45am
I don't like Goreans either, but from my experience they stick to their
own areas. Or maybe it's because I'm a furry and they don't dare come near the furry areas. I dunno! [View Quote] |
