VRT time, as used by the browser, depends on the time used by the
server, not on your own computer time. Both your computer and the
server use their own setting related to GMT, as set internally. Both
may be wrong. Your request is dismissed by humans, because not
practical. Redirect your request to the Allmighty :)

The browser's VRT time is set according to the universe server's
computer time, not your local computer's. And as Starfleet sais, it
is set once when the browser starts.

You can compare the times with the way Xelagot sets its VRT: Xelagots
use the local computer's time for this, and when they enter a
universe, you will see something like this:

13:12:14 VRT: Universe clock lags behind by 852 seconds

When I entered this universe with the browser, indeed, the browser's
VRT was 14 minutes and a few seconds behind the bot's, because it had
syncd to the universe computer's time, not to my local computer's.

It is the universe owner's responsability to keep her computers syncd
:)

Ok, here is the explanation of what Lady tries to say:

1) you start the browser
2) the browser receives the time from the universe server (depends on
the uni servers system time)
3) the browser calculates a correct interval from the uni-system time
to its own computer system time, so that from this moment, it
calculates the VRT from the local computer's system time using this
fixed interval (based on the assumption that neither system times are
changed).
....

If you now change your computer's system time while the browser is
running, VRT will shift too, because the interval from system time to
VRT has already been fixed and is being used. Now changing the system
time, especially by large amounts, is not a common phenomenon, one
does not keep adjusting system times all the time. Close the browser
and restart it to fix this.

Similarly, if the uni-server's system time is adjusted while your
browser is running, this will not adjust the VRT the browser shows:
you need to close and restart the browser for the correction to take
effect.

The browser's VRTshift when you change your own system time could be
removed, the browser's lack of VRTshift when the uni-server changes
its own system time can not be solved easily, there would need to be a
callback to do so.

Maybe the devteam will one day want to make code for this, and sync
the browser directly to a trusted time server. Personally, since I do
not play around with my system time, it's no priority for me :)

If everyone should be seeing the same VRT as a priority (your
priority), what about every clock in the world being synchronised,
for every purpose? I'd love that, but it is not the reality at
present, an approximation is all I need. Your complaint was that the
browser VRT was not being synchronised to the universe VRT: FALSE. It
is, the same way it was in other versions, as from the moment VRT sync
to the universe server VRT was introduced. The point is, this sync
occurs (as in previous versions) only once: when the browser logs into
the universe. If you adjust your computer settings, you disturb the
VRT shown on the browser.

Your quote:
"If this problem has not been addressed, please fix so that it is
adjusted to AW server as in previous builds. Some people do not keep
the local time on their computer - this problem was addressed a few
years ago and fixed to rely on AW server time."

False assumptions on your part. And vague in the statement "Some
people do not keep the local time on their computer"... what do you
mean by that? You have to set your local time zone on Windows
computers, whether you like it or not, and according to that, your
time clock will be tuned. You want astronomical precision in AW?...
and I thought it was a 3D chat system... Well, this is a wishlist ng,
so keep on wishing, but don't distort the facts :)

You seem to set up priorities on many fields, regardless of context,
Lady, and blame AWI for them. Your problem... maybe fix it?

AWI does nothing of the kind, there is no such central AWI server.
The one who hosts the universe server provides the time sync, as the
universe server uses it's host computer time... It's up to the
hosting company to make sure their computers are syncd to universal
time. If that would be the case, we would all have the same VRT. AWI
can't provide everything, and actually, shouldn't. Responsabilities
are shared ones. Maybe a day will come when all computer OSs which
are connected to internet will automatically be syncd (XP has a sync
once a week)... who knows :)

At present, all universes hosted by active worlds are about 126 sec
too fast, give or take a couple, or say 2 minutes early. Not a very
big practical problem if you have a meeting planned!

I agree, but that is not the point. Bots can, if their author wants
to, get accurate time info from a reliable time server. AW does not
garantee this, nor should they be deemed to, they never promissed
this.

Actually, with the current system, what you request is a non-feature
:)

I can put on my contacts people I want to mute forever, or not allow
them to contact me, etc (a negative contact).

If you are paranoid, like I a am, disallow everything generally, let
them see a question mark. So if you get on someone's contact list,
they will have to reach you by phone, or chase you around worlds to
beg you for permissions.

You people have been using too much ICQ or other messengers and are

Not quite clear to me what you mean :)

As far as privacy is concerned, the current system only allows the
fact that you can actually have a name of someone who does not want
you to have it on your contact list. But with that name, you can't do
anything to infringe that person's privacy. And that is no
infringement. So what's the problem? It's your right to have that
name, a name is a name is a name... and by having that name on your
contacts, you can specify yourself what level of communnication you
allow with that person, you do NOT specify what level of
communication that person allows with you. An almost perfect system!

I think many feel the way you do. I personally find the question mark
too big :) but I do find it useful to let me know that I cannot see
when a certain contact is online; in some cases, for example, when
working together in a project, we need to see each other online, and
may forget to enable this, so when we see the question mark we can
warn each other "hey, I can't see when you are here". Similarly with
telegrams, I prefer to know that I can not send someone a telegram,
not just have the telegram disappear in the blue.

Besides what Andras said, I would like to add that a session turns to
reason 439 when there is a universe disconnect. It would be better to
have a separate event though, like when the world disconnects:
AW_EVENT_UNIVERSE_DISCONNECT would be great to have!

Yes you know... a world disconnect message is a world disconnect, not
a universe disconnect. The only way you can track universe
disconnects at the moment is to check the bot's session number. I do
that in every event, and especially after I call aw_wait. Never
assume a world disconnect is a universe disconnect, just test them
separately. It works 100% fime in my bot.

Well in practice, I have not had problems with overlapping session and
reason numbers. My bot will post in red that the session is
doubtfull if it is within the range of reason numbers, but that won't
really affect it. A few reason numbers in the session will though, my
choice, those related to disconnects:

471 RC_CONNECTION_LOST
429 RC_UNABLE_TO_CONNECT
439 RC_NO_CONNECTION

Apparently, only 439 as session number should indicate that the uni
has disconnected (Will somewhere in the beta ng said that), but
because my code was already written, I left it at this. Whenever any
of these numbers appears as session numbers, I unlog the bot, destroy
the instance, and start anew. This has always worked for me.

The problem can be split in two:

1) avatar collides with object

2) object collides with avatar

These are two different things. (1) is enabled, (2) is not. If the
object moves down, then gravity pulls the avatar down too, and the
avatar stops falling when it collides again with the object. When the
object goes up, it is it that is colliding with the avatar and
'shifting' into it. I don't know about why in the begining of a ride
you might move with the object though, maybe there is an intial 'jump'
of the avatar when an object changes under it.

[View Quote] >well I and others happen to think that keeping perverts away from us and the
>children IS sorry your standards are to low

what I find perverted, among other things, is people who bash up
people because they are not up to their own ideal. these people
pervert their own children by bashing this thought into them. not only
the taliban are guilty of this. take a look at the american way of
life in iraq prisons: harm has been done by the noblest. not a norm
hopefully among people, but reality - real life rwality- anyway. a bit
more tolerance, with the right degree of learning self-defence to our
children, would make our world, in RL or VR, much better.

the reason i think this is so is that people who are closest to
children, like parents and family, have much more influence on them
than total strangers who act weird. therefore, they can enlighten or
pervert children much more easily than others. life is full of
weirdos, calling them perverts is a strong term, usually used to
degrade someone, rarely (luckily) meeting the facts.

tell me, what can a total stranger in vr actually do to harm others? a
few things, sure, but possibly not what you consider a pervert in your
own mind. firstly, you may want to consider the effect: has it harmed
the child, or has it boosted your own fears and prejudices?

a child, as has been seen in these related threads, can react quite
forcibly. feel disgust, annoyance, etc, when it is plain to her/him
s/he has been cheated or misled. has this child been harmed? no, just
confronted with a weird situation. in time, understanding may come in
too, and tolerance, even laughter and a smile. the big harm is when
such a situation, by a trusted adult, is turned into an opportunity to
booster prejudice, instead of simply explaining to the child that the
person is acting weird and hiding its own gender and age, and may
better be avoided than encountered if one does not feel confortable
with the situation.

i do not like every lifestyle, some really repulse me. this does not
mean i have the right to brand people as perverts.

keep the weirdos from my 14 yo child? well, maybe just keep your
child off the streets, where s/he is more likely to encounder real
harmfull weirdos than someone in vr who presents him/herself with the
wrong age and gender. but you cant, the whole system needs you to
allow children to move in unknown to you areas. your best chance is
that you have had the ability to teach your children how to do this.
your worst chance is that you have taught your children to hate and
despise the unknown... and not to recognise the real dangers.

frankly, if you can't cope with vr as it is, why dont you create your
own vr and leave the rest of us alone?

i will certainly stand up against real trouble, but not against this
sort of name calling. i have enough of kids (and who taught them)
calling each other GAY or other names, in a despective sense. i see
the same name calling PERVERT in adults. before you or any call
someone here a PERVERT, be kind enough to assemble your facts, who and
how has been harmed and perverted, and report it to the due
authorities. this sort of gossip or bashing here in the ng is
disgraceful.

Hi LNH,

I think that this time, due to the very technical problems presented
by the introduction of media streaming, they needed people who were
technical too. This first phase is going fast, and a lot of bugs were
discovered and solved. We've had 3 browser upgrades in 3 weeks, each
solving enormous puzzels. There are still a few things to investigate
and solve, but compared to other betas, this is going at jet speed.
This process could not have been done so fast in a large group,
however valuable the contribution.

I guess (my guess) that when the real basic code problems are solved,
more people will be allowed into beta, or it may become public. From
what I heard unofficially, 3.6 should be available as soon as the
media code is viable and tried out.

LNH,

There is no hight. The backdrop and skybox are drawn first, then the
cloud layers on top of them. They are a 3D projection against an
imaginary background, centered on your position in the world. After
that, the rest is drawn.

Collision is detected frame by frame by the rendering engine of each
individual browser and is cpu intensive - it is all done client side.
This means, there is absolutely no internet traffic involved (except
for the downloading of objects and updating of avatar and object
positions). It would be absurd to have all this activity broadcasted
to all, even updates of avatar position are sent at fixed intervals,
skipping older ones :)

The difference is that object click/select or avatar click require a
conscious action from a user, whereas collision is a frame by frame
calculation. When you bump into something, it is your browser that
decides you have bumped., and acts accordingly on you. The
consequences are broadcasted as your new position, avatar state, etc,
at due intervals (15 per sec is maximum if the world allows it, 1 per
secong is default). But the actual bump, which depends on your fps
and involves multiple objects, can not be broadcasted.

hmm, a tourist can not use your citizen name, same for bots. Tourist
names are in double quotes, bots in square brackets, so it's never
your name, and people can see that: compare XelaG, "XelaG" and
[XelaG].

Whoever bothers you about this confusion is making a mistake, and you
can just point out the mistake to them.

What about the confusion between XelaG (xelag) and XeIaG (xeiag)?
Seems much worse to me :)
