Well, i was staring off into space at school today when i came up with
this idea. This is a spin off of plugins for the browser, but what if you
had plugins stored in your object path? The short story would be, you could
make your own plugins, to do something. Once you have it done, upload it
then use it to do stuff... Thats the short end... Heres the long end...


There would need to be a plugin SDK, and phrasers, ect, for use in the
browser. But this would open up activeworlds as anything you want it to be.
Gaming, Drawing, anything! A faw ideas of mine, a /plugins/ folder in the
root of your op. Plugins.dat for active plugins, mabey in activeworlds a
"create plugin plugin=blah" type thing. Download on demand of the plugins.

Tell me what you think :)...

Mabey it would be like java, only working inside of paramiters, and a
"sandbox". So it could not harm program on your computer, or do anything to
crash the browser :D...

PS... Mabey this isnt such a good idea after all :(...

Ok, first thing, calm down. Next thing, call awcom (978) 499-0222, and ask
them to change your password for your world Billy!, you can also e-mail them
about this :-) or telegram and awcom staff member. The password will go
into effect, the world will be dropped and you can host it again.

Uhh, he's having problems with his computer shutting off at random times,
also taking forever to start. The power supply fan will spin up, slow down,
make some sick noises, and quit. Its not his hard disk. Once he gets a new
power supply he should be good as new.

First, don't use HTML, that's worse than this uni-wide messaging system.
2nd, this will only be used for notices, like that "do not give your
password to anyone" crap. It will only be showed on login (uh, I think). I
don't think awcom is going to abuse this, and if they do, tough cookies,
leave aw if you don't like it.

Nope, the new browser is next to impossible to hack. Its got great
encryption that people have failed to crack. It will take a very long time
for someone to get by it, but once they do it wont be in beta any more.

Yes also, but you will not be able to log in, thats what I was addressing in
my first post. Of course you will be able to get into stand alone mode.

Ya, it has to do with the new protocol that was implemented in 3.2. This
was mentioned to Roland, he didn't see it as a big thing. Also, other
people see your chat as Cozmo instead of cOzMo.

Or better yet, advertise on TV. Selling a CD with a 3 MB file on it isn't
very economical. If you were to do a TV Ad, you could just tell people
where to download it. :)

Heh, I just found AW by luck. It was AW or another site on a list of VRML
worlds. I think AW really needs to get the message out that they are here.
If not a full blown TV ad, maybe banner ads on other websites like Yahoo?

The servers total land and users is all in the license code in the
server.ini, and now in the 128bit license file. Also, the newer versions of
the universe software do communicate with the mother ship, but they do not
check the total land and users against the server running at AWC. They do
tell mommy if its cracked, or someone is trying to break it.

There were so many people asking if you gave out your aworld.ini, I didn't
know where to post this. Ok, here it goes... Your aworld.ini holds an
encrypted password specific to your machine. If someone else gets your
aworld.ini, they would need to steal your machine to use it. So, as of 3.2,
your safe :).

It does take a lot of bandwidth, not as much as the world server, but still
a lot. Also, you need to support all the data from the citizen database,
and worlds database. Sure, you could run one off of a 56k, 486 machine, but
it would be slow, very slow. Even off of a cable modem, I suppose, it would
be slow. Also, in the early days of AW, there was a website kicked out by
the uniserver that you could click a link and goto a world. I do think that
it is a good idea to separate the world from the universe a little more than
it is. Like, you could connect or "dock" your world in a universe, or
universes. But, you could also get to it by clicking a link, such as
awhl:\\aspect.ath.cx:7777\\a'odd.

Just my thoughts :)

Think of it this way, the current list is 24kb long, well, a little less.
It was 24kb long when all the 3dhomepages were there, so, this math is
predicting how much AW pushed out during the height of 3DHP. So, simple
math, 24 x 486 (current users on at the moment, there were many more on at
the height of 3DHP) = 11664. So, 11 MB every 30 seconds for the world list.
So, about 2880 of these happen per day. Just estimating, simple math again,
2880 x 11664 = 33592320kb, that's about 3,359 MB, which is 3GB a day, just
for the world list. If that isn't enough bandwidth, add contact list,
telegram, and world information inquires. All those add up. 3.3GB alone is
a huge amount. So, it does take bandwidth to create a list.

Now, this number could be off by like, 500 MB, because you don't always have
486 users on at a time, sometimes you have less, sometimes more. It would
be interesting to see someone create a bot that would gauge the bandwidth
coming out of the AW uniserver. Oh, don't forget about 24/7 bots that are
running around AW.

Also, add to the bandwidth world heartbeats, client heartbeats, bot
heartbeats, world license information, citizen logon and registration, etc.
It could get up to a very BIG number.

I could be waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy off with this, but, I don't think I am.

Or even communicating the choice of only sending only full worlds, or only
open worlds to the browser. But, AWC should do something about the
bandwidth. They are rough numbers, but, big numbers. Good thing they don't
have to pay for bandwidth by the MB, or they would have gone broke years
ago.
