if you modify the shortcut to "C:\Active Worlds\aworld.exe"
and the start in field to "D:\Active Worlds\" then it will save everything
to "D:\Active Worlds"; However, this also includes all your configuration
files, ie. telegrams, contacts, teleports etc... so make sure you move those
to "D:\Active Worlds\"

[View Quote] If you create 1 sphere in something like modeler, then you can use it
numerous times.
at the end of your file add this
ProtoBegin Sphere
your sphere
ProtoEnd
then you can put it into your model with "ProtoInstance Sphere", then use
your transform and rotate it into position. Yes the files will be slightly
bigger, but its better than having 5 of them

Roland(roland at activeworlds.com) is the lead programmer for AW, send him an
email with whats going on and he might take a look at it, that is if it
isn't already fixed in 3.3

In the 2.x browser lighting had 3 parts to it, Ambient, Diffuse and
Specular, Ambient being how bright the model is by default, Diffuse being
how much a light will affect it, and Specular being how (for lack of a
better word) smoothly the light shines on it. (ie. shiny plastic as opposed
to fabric)

if you want to create a space in an URL, just use "%20" without the
quotes of course... they will translate to a space on the server, but it
keeps it as 1 URL instead of breaking it at the space.

Anyone can renew any world (i want to send $1.4million to renew AW, of
course they will take the money and renew it), the ownership of a world
cannot be exchanged from person to person, but it can be transfered to
another citizen account as long as it is under the same person (they do this
so as to not loose their $65 startup fee and so that the original owner
identified by an email address cannot retreive the"lost" password and take
the world back from whoever it was sold to).

The citizenship(s) that come with the world itself cannot be changed (i.e.
you get citnum 123456 and 234567, then you can ONLY renew those citnums with
the world), though I have found from personal experience that this isn't
enforced too much and you could probably renew any citizenship with the
world.

you should scan for viruses... theres this one called "Microsoft Windows" it
comes in many flavors and revisions, and most virus scanners dont catch it,
in fact most rely on the fact that you have that virus installed in order to
run... I bet you that caused it...

Windows XP requires SP1 in order to get 8.1b. However, SP1 has a tendency of
creating more bugs that it does fixes; your system may become unasable all
together. Read this somewhere that 1 out of every 10 calls to compaq (i
think it was compaq, could be wrong) were after installing SP1, and the tech
people tell the callers to just reformat.

if you are not using XP then go to

For purposes of better lighting effects in 3.1 does anyone know of a program
that will split up polygons so that there are more? I don't have the time to
do it by hand, let alone want to do each vertice by hand ;-

Little Billy: Hal, I'm tired of making just one object and then having to
make 50 copies of it just so I can have one object per texture!
Hal: Well Little Billy, so was I, until I decided that I was fed up with
doing that.
Little Billy: Well Hal, what did you do about it?
Hal: I spent hours toiling over my computer keyboard working on this special
program to do it all for you!
Little Billy: Really Hal!?
Hal: Yes, Little Billy. I took the time to actually write a program to do it
all for you!
Little Billy: Hal, this sounds expensive...
Hal: Not at all Little Billy. You may expect to pay $60, $70, maybe even $80
for a tool similar to this. But in this special offer you can get it for
only four easy payments of NOTHING!
Little Billy: What's the catch Hal?
Hal: No catch little Billy, all you have to do is visit my website and
download it, completely free!
Little Billy: Where can I get this wonderful tool Hal?
Hal: You can get it in the tools section of my website.
http://hal9000.xoasis.com/aw/
Little Billy: WOW! Thanks Hal! I know I will use this ALL the time now!



Multi-Tex. A handy tool for object makers, will take a single object, a
list of textures, and will make an object for each texture (like the AW
walls pp01, pp02, pp03 etc...). I have also included the list of AW wall
textures so you don't need to do it yourself. If you decide to make your own
set of textures just put the texture names one per line, and for any missing
textures (where you don't want an object made, like pp16), just use "!no" on
that line and it will skip that texture and increase the object number to
the next one
