Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Lots of great ideas, but now I can't see what has been implemented. I can only think of the fog and the way the textures render, which are great additions, but is there a list of new functions in one place (do to my fleeting memory) where we can review the new attributes available to us so we can be sure to try them out???

OMG, Decade had a great idea up there, only the subject line doesn't
catch your eye!!! My goodness, yes!!!! if Avatars could be assemble-able in world, everyone can create their own identities.....finally!!!! this head on that body, faces that can be texturemapped from some other sourse on the web....just like signs. custom clothing....shoot, all you do is choose the object types, head type outfit type, texture them, etc... GOSH it could be soooooo fun!!!!!! Waddaya think? Roland??? You listening??? ;o) texturemipmapstate RWX command improvementOct 12, 2000, 2:05am
I know this is going to be a duh, but what is Mipmapping please? I'm drawing a blank, thanks, love Ingie
[View Quote] > This command can already turn OFF mipmapping if it's already enabled, but I'd like a way to turn ON mipmapping for certain textures even though mipmapping may be disabled. I don't generally like mipmapping (and there's no way to change the mipmap levels/distance in AW) but I would like mipmapping always on for certain textures that have a Moire pattern on them (like my chainlink fences in Hole). > > -- > > http://tnlc.com/eep/ - Active Worlds, Tomb Raider, 3D game comparison, The Sims > Enable line/word wrap if text not wrapping. http://tnlc.com/eep/wrap.html for more info. > DON'T QUOTE SIG WHEN REPLYING! texturemipmapstate RWX command improvementOct 12, 2000, 11:37pm
:o( you arn't going to share with me? (sniff sniff) Sad Ingie
[View Quote] > Don't you worry your pretty little head about it... > [View Quote] texturemipmapstate RWX command improvementOct 13, 2000, 12:31pm
Oh, Is it where the image also is prevented from "Pixeling" when you get close? I know that's one of the new features, but I wouldn't
want to turn that off, I like that feature :o) Thanks, Ingie [View Quote] > Basically, the way I understand it is this: the farther the texture gets from you, the more it is blurred. Not quite sure how to > explain it other than that. > > -Agent1 > [View Quote] texturemipmapstate RWX command improvementOct 14, 2000, 3:31am
Oh, ok. So how do you turn it off?....... nevermind, if there is a button,
I'll find it :o) Thanks, Ingie [View Quote] > No, that's bilinear filtering, when the texture blurs as you get close. > Mipmapping reduces the complexity of the texture as you get farther away. > [View Quote] ability to change the panaramaOct 11, 2000, 11:56am
for a given location? That could be really cool....... just an
illusion, not control over the panorama of a world. It could make AW free for more creativity, and could give world owners a way to put in multiple themes in their worlds??? Waddaya Think? ability to change the panaramaOct 12, 2000, 12:09am
Yes, I know of the Pana changer, or whatever it's called (no offense) I guess what I was trying to say
is to be able to change the background when people arrive at your plot of land in an open building world or for changing the look of your world if you want to have different levels or something. What do you mean by inefficient, Eep? You mean it would take up too much of your building space/allowable? Thanks, Ingie ability to change the panaramaOct 12, 2000, 11:34pm
Sorry cutie, but I don't get a "Twit" for that? LOL (just kidding, I don't think I'd like it if you called me a Twit)
Wow, what do you mean "skybox"? Would that be like a sky dome? Do you know of anyone who's done that? I'd love to hear more... please, thanks so much!! Love Ingie [View Quote] > Think about it: having to download a, say, 50-100K image every 15 minutes (depending on how realistic you want the day-night light cycle to be) would get annoying. You're better off making a "skybox" ground object and having the world light source affect it normally (since light doesn't affect the backdrop). > > Please REPLY (and to the correct thread) to a message instead of starting a new topic, don't change the subject (unless you leave the old one in and out "<new subject> (was <old subject>)"), and leave in quoted text so tracing your message history isn't as annoying. > [View Quote] ability to change the panaramaOct 13, 2000, 12:29pm
Which world uses this? that would be so cool to see :o) Thanks, Ingie
[View Quote] > Yep, skyboxes are like skydomes. They're just an extra cube-ish "object" added to your ground (where you would add a dome with a > skydome). That's how some worlds are able to add animated clouds :) > > -Agent1 > [View Quote] Shadows, Complete X,Y,Z movements for objects, and other michMar 13, 2001, 4:53am
yes, and the object path could be so much smaller, in fact it would save
download time! ahhhhNov 8, 2002, 11:55pm
But, you know there might be something to this. I mean, if AW could do
something like this and with every email, there is a link or banner, it could be a huge advertising oppertunity for AW. ??? Ingie [View Quote] Personal avatarsNov 9, 2002, 12:03am
OK, I know this has probably been said many times, and probably not so long
ago, but I've been gone a few years, so I'm sticking it in here. It's also a question, as in how plausable is it? I would like to see some kind of implementation where people could use their own personal avatar everywhere in AW/other worlds/ other programs that use this technology. Can't this be done? They used to do it in Blaxxun. World Owners could limit file sizes too, in order to avoid people overtaxing the system. Any progress in this direction? Thanks, Ingie Personal avatarsNov 11, 2002, 6:59am
I was also thinking there could be an Avatar approval group, who would rate
the AV, and if it is rated R, then it could only be used in R and up type worlds, if G then, it could go anywhere. I mean, we don't need to have them limited. [View Quote] ability to interact with objectsNov 11, 2002, 7:06am
Could you make it so that if you touch a couch, or chair, you use it? I
mean, you sit down? or a bed, you lay down, sitting in AW would help the realism alot. It really would be great if an object could be created with an interaction ability, and when "used" it would call up a seq which would make the AV sit, until "unused" Is this impossible to implement? I mean, we don't even have that many actions available to us, nor the ability to sit (on the floor) like you can in almost every RPG game. Is AW cornered by it's architecture in some way? Just wondering, thanks, Ingie Oh, and how can I get a copy of the beta 3.4? Is it available for all to beta test? Thanks again, Love Ingie ability to interact with objectsNov 23, 2002, 5:27am
Thanks everyone. I can't wait to see 3.4, it sounds like another huge leap
forward, and seems to add a multitude of new options. I can't wait! Ingie [View Quote] Terrain WishDec 2, 2002, 6:16am
I know what you're saying, but I don't think it can be done. I think you
could get the effect, though, if you created an object to fit in the square hole made in the terrain, and use that instead? I know it wouldn't be easy, especially if it's angled, but it could be done? Ingie [View Quote] Old wish renewed :PDec 2, 2002, 6:21am
I'll third that one, it's also on my wish list. actually, I was hoping
someone created a bot or something that could do this already :oP Thanks for bringing it up again, shoot, I should be in bed, good nite, no more reading posts, LOL Ingie [View Quote] Some wishes...Aug 28, 2003, 5:47am
What's with the sarcasm? by the way, I've been asking for sit/sleep seq
that "held" until canceled since I joined in 1998. I still can't figure out why they haven't done it, it's stupid not to have it. As for the cache system needing to be rewritten, do it! It only gets worse as time goes on if you keep building on a faulty foundation. Heck, why waste the breath, AW doesn't ever learn..... They should just go open source, then things might work properly, but I'd hate to deal with that code.... ugh... and we don't really have a coding community.... Nah, it would die in its tracks....

How is Clee doing?May 24, 2000, 10:13am
Just wondering if anyone has an update on Clee's condition. Was so sad to
hear about the heart attack and hope he is recovering well. My thoughts are with him and his family and I pray all will be well, Ingie How is Clee doing?May 26, 2000, 8:32am
Oh, thank you for updating us, that's so good to hear!

That could give us alot more realistic interactions in-world
[View Quote] > You're a twit for thinking I want AW to be ALL of a game. I've NEVER said that. You need to think relatively and learn to read more carefully. I simply would like AW to be more gameLIKE. Do you know what LIKE means? Of COURSE all of these gameLIKE features would be OPTIONAL--I've been saying that ALL along, if you bothered to actually READ more carefully... > [View Quote] EverQuest: 300,000 registered players - AW's futureOct 7, 2000, 3:17pm
> It's getting so that I know exactly what you're going to say.... Hee hee hee
By the way, I sent you an email with a question, did you receive it? Thanks for all your help, Ingie **vote***Oct 11, 2000, 1:50am
(Giggling)
I'm sure I'm the dumbest Twitty out there, but Eep hasn't called me one yet, I feel sooooo left out!!! Come on Eep, I hate being the outsider ;o( I wonder if he has filtered me, he doesn't answer my email, LOL. Oh well, I love ya Eep anyway! (I have a soft spot for grumpy old men ;o) ) [View Quote] > Why, thank you very much... Your twittiness is much appreciated....:) > [View Quote] **vote***Oct 11, 2000, 11:52am
Oh thank you soooo much. I thought I'd have to be nominated!!! If chosen I will happily
accept and I will have a 1 hour long acceptance speech ready so Eep can interrupt and say, "Um, no one cares. Don't be a twit." And I will finally, truely be one! (bows) Thanks again, Ingie [View Quote] > Oh I am so sorry that you haven't been asked to join the NSOT. (The National Society > of Twits). We will have to request that our leader (Eep) ask you to join. :)) > [View Quote] **vote***Oct 12, 2000, 12:00am
It probably would never happen (sniff sniff) I'm far too obsequious. I'm also a girl and he is
too much a gentleman to be rude to a woman ;o( (I think?) So I'll just have to be happy knowing I probably bug the hell out of him but he can't do anything!
