Other than using a bot like Xelagot, one thing you can do is use a key
object...What I do is build a regular object and align it with the 5 key on
the numpad. I select all the objects, and then select the key object last.
Doing that makes them rotate regularly, at least.

SW City uses PPW for cooperative building but, ya know, it can only go so
far. I'd be much more open to the idea if the PPW system could be improved,
like, for example, being able to see who's on my PPW right now, and being
able to "kick" them off should something malicious occure.
I remember suggesting that to Roland back in the day and he said it would
require some major work (or reworking) in the server code...

That'd be my fault on misleading Ferruccio on what truform is. I had the

I think it would be pretty easy to get it to work for at least vertical. As
long as your avatar is moving (and a second or two after you stop moving),
you get carried up and down if it's not moving too fast. If the browser
were to be tricked into thinking you were always moving, then it could work
(keypoint being how it still works a couple seconds after you stop moving).

One problem there - you have all 4 control objects astart. You need e1 to
be astart, and the rest to be astop.
An alternative way is to name all the control objects the same, and then
change the delay.
Like have them all named e1...then the first one is 1 1 1000
then another e1 object with 1 1 2000
then 1 1 3000 and so on.
With one master control object that would start and stop e1 as desired.

The connection type, whether it be 56k or cable/dsl, does nothing more than
download the object models, textures, and their respected locations. Once
that's done downloading other parts in the computer take over, such as the
video card and CPU. Reflections is a rendering feature, so connection type
has nothing to do with it.
Not sure what you mean by noobs though....all noobs have dial up? *boggle*

The limit is 128 for object selection.
One system I use to use was to select and copy all the objects, but before I
"deselected" them to publish the objects, I'd have someone else come in and
delete the originals out of the way. That was before the max object
selection though (maybe you could use an older version of AW?). Otherwise
just copy chunks of the house at a time, or just use a bot.

Now now he never said or implied he was volunteering for the job.
Personally, I'd like just a couple people to overlook objects and texture
submissions, checking for quality and consistancy with existing objects.
Bleh, I hate the idea that Alphaworld is a world for oldies. It should be a

Hey Enzo - know what's annoying? Seeing blue background in the horizon for

killer seeing that blue.
Needless to say, I imagine it would only take a couple minutes to scale up
this object to fix the problem O_o

I was on 56k for years using AW. What's the big deal? Granted, unless you
move from world to world to do your builds, you only need to download the
object set once and then your golden O_o
And even with traveling you can, in the options, point AW to the alphaworld
directory to check there before downloading objects. Helps for a few
objects in custom worlds anyway.

The 100x100 rule only applies to land cover, not actually using the land.
Though the definition of "use" is subjective. For SW City for example, I
could say my buildings are "using" all that water to deem itself an island
(which is pretty much the case)
