A company like AW should at least have a T3 connection which is about 45
Mbps; Ferruccio was just talking about their server hardware though, but
you guys bring up a good point. The monthly cost of a T3 service is
expensive. It's reasonable to believe they knocked it down to a T1 or
something seeing as how the public worlds are far less demanding than they
use to be.

Leave it to AW to pick unusual ways of advertising =P
Seriously, every form of advertising I've seen AW do has been so
strange...well except once I believe they had a little ad in a gaming
magazine one time =D

Ugh, wtf is wrong with AW's servers recently? Haven't been able to do
anything for the past couple days now without getting a waiting for server.
I simply been trying to build a river and I've made about 50 coordinates in
the past hour because of all the lost connections and slowness. Heck even
if my chat message is too long I get a WFS.

It's not on my end, everything else works great and cable speed test reports
a 1.3 Mbps readout.

Ironically it sorta let up after I posted this. I dunno it's kind of coming
in waves. The Waves of Lag (sounds like a good book =D).

I pinged the servers and traced it about the same time I posted the thread
too, and they came out out ok. Averaged at 104ms. It's not just me either,
some people with me at the time were getting it too. I really wonder if
they downgraded their server connection though...

Prolly a few graphical building features for world-owners only and more
support for RPGs (for the sake of newAW if anything).

As an Alphaworldian, I've been pessimistic about upgrades since like 3.1,
sorry =P Just speculation though, any official word would be welcome.

I don't see what was wrong with the in-world voting like last year. Was
funner and probably more secure from multi-voting minus the few people who
have more than 1 cit.

That's about what I got...Athlon 2600, ATI 9600 pro, and I use have 512 RAM
(1 GB now). I get a good fps in my opinion, suits me well.

Actually in my experience since 1998, CPU upgrades do more good for AW that
graphic card upgrades. Some programs are just more CPU sensitive. Anybody
else notice this?

Well this is from AW 2.1 and out, never ran software mode if I didn't have
to. I remember, the change from 1.3 ghz to XP 2600 was pretty impressive,
and I kept my old Radeon 8500 only upgrading the CPU and mobo. Then I got
the 9800SE later and it wans't very impressive in AW, but a huge different
in other 3d games.

Not at all =D
In fact WinXP Home is better for games and 3d apps as it has less features,
it uses less resources that way. Besides the only stuff pro has over home
doesn't matter to most people.
80 GB HDD and the XP2600 are sorta the best-bang for the buck products right
now anyway, as you probably know from shopping.
Though if it were up to me, I'd save money by downgrading to a 17" CRT
monitor and use the saved money to buy an Athlon 64 3000+. Besides, the
only thing LCD has over CRT is size and looks. It's slower responding, more
prone to problems, and has that viewing angle thing.

There's a few user/group settings that you can access through safe mode.
It's been awhile since I've had to do it though. And there's plenty of free
3rd party apps you can use for remote access.
And I was just talking about cheapest LCDs, like the $300 ones I see on
pricewatch. You can get a Phillips 17" for $100. I've had bad experience
with LCDs, and I personally don't care for them. CRTs have been good to me
though. It's totally a user preference though your right. And yes I am AMD
and ATI, we had that long discussion before remember? =P

Personally, I use Zonealarm Pro. I don't know if it's the most secure
firewall, but I use it because despite popular belief it's the least bloated
and uses less resources than Kerio, Tiny Personal, and Sygate and
Norton's...I tried them all to test. Other than that it's powerful enough
for most people. The popup blocker is pretty good too.

Hey everyone. I don't usually advertise my builds, but I feel like this is
my best work in the past 3 years since Peril Mountain and some might be
interested in seeing.
Sharman Caves is a vast network of caves that's been in the works for about
6 months now, off and on. You can just explore it, but if you want the
maximum experience you can call it an adventure and gather clues and lore
for...well you'll see ;D

Here's a few screenshots of the place:

And here's a map that you may want to leave open in a browser for
navigation:

Coordinates are AW 1688s 4698e 300
Feedback and suggestions are appreciated =)

Wooo got a lot more visitors than I expected. Unfortunately due the number
of visitors times number of sounds effects in the caves, plus the SWC radio
coming out this month and the forums being very busy, our webspace hosting
ran out of bandwidth for the month. So if you were planning on visiting,
I'd suggest waiting 'till the start of May.

Apr 30, 2004, 6:28am

I'm not sure what our BW limit is. Can't check because that was require
bandwidth lol. It's the first time we had this problem though. Been a busy
month =o
Thanks for the hosting offer though. We're looking for ways to host our
radio shows, I'll keep you in mind if you're up to it.

I been trying to make an ambient background sound effect, and, it works fine
in wav but no matter what I try, it skips in mp3 form. There's about a half
second delay before it begins again in the loop. Has anyone been successful
on getting a clean loop, and, if so how? I'm using LAME 3.96, though I've
tried other versions and it didn't work either.
