Corection: E N Z O and JP own AW now!

Corection: E N Z O and JP own AW now!

Jul 17, 2002, 3:22am
But it DOESN'T "work just fine". With automatically removing "Re:", the 132-character/line limit (by contrast, Netscape Messenger can go up to 99,999 characters), and the constant updating required to thwart the multitudes of backdoors, bugs, and other Microsloppy programming inadequacies, Outlook and OE just aren't even worth using for email. I only use OE for some heavy-volume binary newsgroups (not yEnc-encoded ones, however) because it doesn't lock up (as much) when downloading tens of thousands of headers like Netscape Messenger does, which hangs every 700 headers as it tries to stupidly update the list).

I'm hardly an AOL lover; I've simply been using Netscape products LONG before AOL got their grubby little hands on them.

Damn you, Goober, for screwing up the follow-up...

[View Quote] > Blah blah blah, community shummunity. I'm so sick of hearing about AW's pathetic "community". Hell, modifiable games have FAR more community than AW ever had--at last modders actually get together and create new game content (total conversions, levels, objects, skins, etc). All AWers do is piddly non-interactive, boring, rehashed worlds with nothing cool in them to even BEGIN to compete with 3D games.

> Why? Because AW lacks even the most basic of gaming (and decent environmental interaction) features like jumping, shooting/hitting, an inventory, etc. Even just jumping (assuming it was implemented decently enough, of course, and not half-assedly as most everything else is) would open up AW to a LOT more possibilities than what it has now. The only thing AW has going for it that every other game (except with the possible exception of Neverwinter Nights, but I still haven't tried it yet) is that it's basically a multi-user level editor--and a crappy one at that.
>
> But, see, no game developer/publisher has quite been able to make this realization which is why AW is BARELY hanging on (The Sims Online and Neverwinter Nights are edging in on AW's market share) and if Rick and JP expect AW to survive they MUST redirect AW's development towards gaming. Nothing else has worked so far--and nothing else will, except gaming. Note that this does NOT mean AW will ONLY be game-oriented but simply that it will be CAPABLE of being as such, so chatters can still just chat, and builders ("level editors") can just build ("level edit")--and, of course, people can just explore and do neither. ;) The point is: potenial. AW needs more marketability if it is to survive.

But AW needs to first GET gaming abilities before it can market them, community-based or otherwise. But "multi-user level editor" implies "community" anyway, but it's best to stay neutral and not lean towards extrovert OR introvert and just offer BOTH as possibilities without alienating either type of person. Level editing is traditionally a solitary experience so by labelling AW as a MULTI-USER level editor, that at least shows the capabilities of AW as developing into a community without forcing that community onto its users (most noticeably--and finally!--apparent in the new contact list privacy options, which still need work).

AWC/AWI has failed at marketing AW as a community based anything, gaming or otherwise because it lacks any real substance and use. Gaming features, at least, would give AW some much needed purpose and direction after its lifetime of floundering in the shallow end; it would finally be able to at least make an attempt to go into the deep end of the pool and swim with the big kids. Whether or not it could STAY swimming there is another issue, however. But if Rick and JP are serious about AW's development, they'll stop dorking around and get gaming programmers who know what they're doing.

AW will market itself once it gets competent enough, but that's been the problem all along: AW has NOT had the features and marketability to draw much attention or attain any real purpose. Gaming would at least finally GIVE it a purpose--something to stand up on and stand out in the saturated (as you claim) [gaming] market--which isn't saturated by multi-user level editors, by the way. AW still has a chance to get in on the action if Rick and JP finally wise up to the reality of AW's marketability situation and truly focus on something they obviously know and have little experience with: gaming.

OK, I've finally tried NWN and must say it's hardly any competition for AW. There's no 1st-person view, new objects can't be created and the modules are pretty standard in their design (can't change terrain height or anything). AW is still FAR more customizable in terms of modelling (but not scripting). At least NWN is another step towards multi-user level editing, but a quite small one at that, unfortunately. Next...

Regardless, NWN won't catch on and will be lucky if it lasts as long as The Sims' popularity has thus far. Why? Because NWN is too confusing for the average person to bother with--plus it's heavily fantasy-oriented which limits the attractiveness to the general gaming public. AW is QUITE versatile in world theme because it's completely up to the world owner/builders to use whatever objects they want, unlike NWN's quite limited object set (if Bioware thinks they'll make money selling avatars and object sets, they're QUITE mistaken--hence why free server and citizenships won't last long why NWN will inevitably fail in the end if it continues at its current rate).

No, AW still has many more potentially marketable features NWN, VTMR, 10six, and every level editing program don't have: multi-user "level editing". If NWN had this, more theme varations (anything, really--not limited to any one theme), and the ability to create your own objects and import them, THEN it may be able to compete with AW's market. But as it currently is, it'll be lucky if it can survive, let alone compete. Of course, AW needs to implement more things if it is to compete (and survive) too...

Aren't grounded? Does NWN allow real-time multi-user building? Nope. I don't even think the DM mode allows it beyond a certain extent of adding NPCs/enemies and tweaking some basic parameters. The scripting may be better than AW's SDK, but it takes programming to really DO anything with it, which is something most gamers won't even bother with. No, NWN will have to be a LOT better before it can really compete with AW. Of course, AW needs to be better before it can really be marketable...

Heh, in 6 or 7 years from now I'm sure AW (if it's still around, of course) will be MUCH different than it is now, just as AW is different than it was in 6 or 7 years ago. Take a trip to http://mauz.info/awhistory.html if you don't believe me.

The key difference being that AW's SDK allows end-users (non-programmers) to use 3rd-party bots while NWN's scripting still requires programming.

And what opportunities are those for AW? NWN (or any OTHER app/game) doesn't even offer the same things as AW so there ARE no opportunities out there at this time.

That's fine and all for pre-existing (pre-programmed) behavior, but if you expect to get any variety out of things you're going to have to learn the scripting/programming language and/or acquire more scripts from other people (i.e. Bioware, NWN's developers).

I was experimenting again with the NWN toolset to see about modifying the ground, and the problem with it is that each tileset has its own objects and tilesets aren't combined (allowing maximum object availability), so raising/lowering the terrain (which is misleading since there is no vertex manipulation like there is in AW) is impossible. The only "raising" and "lowering" is done by pre-existing ground objects (cliffs, etc) that are simply placed on top of the pre-existing flat ground.

NWN's modules are fairly bland and dull because of their cookie-cutter, LEGOlike modularity. I've never liked the idea of tilesets...in NWN OR Flatland's blocksets--they're just too restricting. And the lack of any real in-world (in-game, in-level) modelling doesn't help much either. Of course, AW also suffers from this inability.
