That would revolutionize building. Imagine the details you could do....Well
at least in alphaworld, since the objects are so big there.

Feb 10, 2001, 1:48am

Interesting group to put that in, but hey, it's all good =P

Feb 15, 2001, 9:46pm

Yea but that's also a risk, and AW never seems to do risks, as you tell by
the lack of changes in the way they run their business...

Feb 13, 2001, 10:37pm

I had that idea too, or mabey just turning off fading completely. I liked
listening to midis while I built, but now they fade when I get too far and
it's annoying...gotta make extra speakers.

Also, mabey you could do that too light too. For example, turning on
intensity, so light gets more powerful when you get closer.

Feb 14, 2001, 2:29am

Yes but it doesn't fade smooth enough. It's kinda hard to see, but it only
seems to start fading around .5 meters of it's edge, and that could just be
the objects diffuse.

Feb 14, 2001, 4:49am

I mostly wanted the intensity for glowing, lava-like effects =)

Feb 15, 2001, 1:06am

ahhh I already knew that, that was a bad example =P

Feb 16, 2001, 3:05am

You know, I'm pretty sure Roland did say why he couldn't do streaming mp3s,
but I don't remember why, it was ye ol' history.

Feb 19, 2001, 1:02am

Yea but it's nice to have it anyway, you may need it someday.

Feb 22, 2001, 5:44am

Hmmm...then I suppose it would only be useful for private conversations. I
spent half of my internet life on Mplayer, which supported voice chat, but
barely ANYONE used it (not sure why really, I never used it either, lol).
People really only used it to say REALLY long things that you wouldn't wanna
type, or to let other hear some music your playing...

Maybe AW doesn't see it useful enough.

Feb 22, 2001, 5:48am

lol chris, seems like half of us are like that. Maybe it's because they
have time to think about it and they don't have to worry about the
counter-attack for a couple hours.

It also takes a good deal of light (brightness) to work well on landa, and
when you do that it floods any other wall object or such, and it looks way
uneven...

wee I thought was just me. I hate having to stop to get objects (already
cached) 120 meters away to load. It ruins the atmosphere...

Hmmm, wouldn't that be more tied into the indivual avatar? For example, a
birde avatar wouldn't make the same noise as a normal avatar.

1. I'd be nice if you could transfer ownership of objects easier. For
example, log into someone ppw, then select your objects, replace the
ownership field with the citnumber of the ppw your under...

2. Be able to work with your own objects while under a ppw, it's a major
pain to swamp back and forth.

3. Be able to log into multiple ppw. Of course this would require some work
on the objects property window, and I looks like AW is never gonna tinker
with that...

4. Be able to eject someone from your ppw. For example if you give someone
your ppw, and they start trashing your place, you should be able to kick
them off your ppw. This is a major security issue AW should fix.

5. Have a drop down menu of ppws you know. For example, I know a lot of
ppw, too many to remember. I'd be nice to have a drop down menu in the ppw
login window.

6. Be able to monitor who is logged into your ppw now.

All these features, I think, would be awesome for major cities or
organization (like comreg) who deal with ppw a lot.

Real live AW cameras would be cool too. For example, every citizen gets a
limit of 1 camera to place in a world, and you could load a command in the
action line to see it. I could like watch town square while I build ^_^

create citcam (citizen camera) citnum (your citizen number)

I'm not sure what this would do to performance though.

Why do you say that? The image is still, except for avatar or
moving/animated stuff. And you'd also need to be looking at the video.

*ahem* And what about the countless hours of building people have done?
Alphaworld world alone....75 million objects, that's a whole lot work =D

> Every last Citizen should have some space on the FTP to place some
(perhaps a limited number) custom objects and/or textures; and every last
object available in any and every world on the AW Server should be available
in AW proper. Limiting objects and commands that are clearly available
elsewhere is absolutely silly. It doesn't even speed anything up. It just
slows us builders down.

You'd need some rules there...what if you made a HUGE object? What if your
object can encroach?

> Every last Citizen should have the rights to eject tourists at will.
If tourists suffer from this they can just buy the damn license.
PeaceKeepers should only have to discipline errant Citizens.

Naw, muting is good enough, it could pretty annoying if *your* talking to a
tourist, and some jerk ejects him.

> There's been some pondering of communities here. I have found that
many tourists, and indeed many Citizens, never make it out of GZ. Why?
Because they like to chat, and it's hard to find other people to chat with
elsewhere. I suggest abandoning Ground Zero entirely. The startout "gate"
should change regularly, even daily, from site to site. Perhaps there can
be contests for who's land "sponsors" GZ, or we could use the winners from
some other contest, or maybe it can be random. If GZ changed every day,
newcomers and old could choose favorite places to be and "communities" could
be more readily established. Think about it.

This is sweet idea! I never heard of this idea before, but I think it would
promote communities big time.

> This one might be harder to implement, but would greatly improve AW:
The ability to turn off SHIFT and/or flying commands should be inherent to
each property, maybe even each sector. We should be able to wall each other
out of our own properties if we so desire. Also, I would like to see a
"Soundproofing" option. In one word: PRIVACY. Yeah, I want to chat
uninterrupted with my friends. New rules separating "public" and "private"
behavior could then be implemented. If some sort of age or rating barriers
could be made (say, a wall that is solid for minors or rating-challenged
individuals), we could even get a little more lax on "adult" content while
simultaneously defending the kids.

Naw, what if you made a wall that was like 2 km long, and hundreds of meters
high, and you couldn't go through it? You'd have to teleport...quite
annoying I'd say.

> AW Developers: If there aren't enough developers working, HIRE ME and
we'll get some things done. I could write half of these changes myself in
cute little easy-to-add-on modules if you (for some reason) can't.

We sure could use some new programmers ^_^

Mar 19, 2001, 12:20am

A stack of tourists in your house? LOL, surely AW wouldn't set your place
as GZ without your permission ;)

What's this about 40 dollars an hour? AW gets about 15 citizens a day
average. If you worked for 7.5 hours a day you'd drain their funds all on
one person.
