I would host bots off my server at no charge - first come first serve - if
somebody would simply develop a bot to run on the Linux platform....or has this already been done? Ox64 [View Quote] vbsdk problemMar 23, 2001, 3:34am
Did you figure out a solution to your property query problem? I have been
trying to write a bot app which queries a certain area of property, and analyse each object, but having problems being able to get all of the objects in the area (I am only getting 482 objects every time and there's many many more objects in the area I'm querying). I am using the framework off the VB wrapper site, but I believe I have something messed up in my object handler event. Any feedback or advice is greatly appreciated from anyone. Are these the correct variables to use in the object handler event or is there some sorta array that returns the object information? (see below) Private Sub sdk_EventCellObject() Print "Model "; sdk.AwObjectModel Print "Description "; sdk.AwObjectDescription Print "Object Action "; sdk.AwObjectAction End Sub [View Quote] removing cits when leaving areaOct 23, 2001, 11:28pm

Ok, how about a list of the unknown reason codes and what they mean?? (the
errors you end up getting and you go to that URL to find it, and they don't list that code) Apparently they do not list all the reason codes on their site. Ox64 [View Quote] Re: ActiveWorlds IRC. Does it exist?Oct 16, 2001, 10:36pm
Agreed. The names should show up upon entry in a world of the within the
200m chat range, or at least give the worldowner the option to enable/disable that feature. I don't like nameless stalkers buzzing around me trying to watch my every move. If they can see who I am then I should be able to see who they are! Ox64 [View Quote] A few requests...Oct 18, 2001, 8:45pm
I 3rd the motion for full screen. I feel it is a long overdue feature found
in many other graphical programs/games to greatly enhance AW's capabilities. Most of the other issues I could see both sides of the fence, but all great suggestions. Just my opinion though, so please spare any criticism :) Ox64 [View Quote] Re: ActiveWorlds IRC. Does it exist?Oct 18, 2001, 8:32pm

Henry, I can agree with some of what you are saying, but the only thing I
don't really agree on is the American mentality you are suggesting. I will agree that some Americans are what you suggst, but most are not. The war going on overseas is stupid. I have no doubt that people having nothing to do with the taliban, terrorism, or hatred towards the United States have been killed and it is not right in my opinion. I am not one for war unless it's absolutely necessary. Please don't hate me (being an American) or the United States though for the actions that are going on overseas because it was not my decision nor is it many people's decision to go to war. We [Americans] supposedly live in a land of freedom of choice that I greatly enjoy and take advantage of as many people do, but some things we cannot choose - our government chooses for us, such as this war. I likewise do not blame Afghanistan for what happened in NY or Washington or anyone overseas because those people as well cannot control what their leaders and people with power and money do either. However there is reason for the Americans to be mad because September 11 many of our citizens were killed as well. People tend to lose focus on the real problem as a result from their anger. I think the only war that should be going on should be right here in our own country. New York and Washington is where the acts of wrong doing were committed, not Afghanistan. Anthrax is being spread all over the United States and nobody seems to know why or who's doing it because our government is too busy starting shit with people overseas and trying to blame everyone else but themselves for what's happened. Why can't our government take care of our homeland first and wage war against the terrorists that are amongst us in our own damn country? Is that too much to ask? For those Americans who think I'm anti-American I'm not trying to say I hate my country, otherwise I wouldn't live here. I love America, the American people here and the patriotism they show for their country. Henry I don't feel the patriotism we are showing in this time is in any way meant to thumb our noses at other nations (although some have made it out to be that way), but merely to show our respect and love for the people we lost 9/11 here at home as a united nation to each other, not against other countries. [View Quote] Re: Why We War (was Re: Bin Laden's Special Song)Oct 27, 2001, 8:47pm
Oh believe me I don't condone anything that goes on in Afghanistan, but I
could take every country in this world and pick out things that I don't like about it and decide to war against them, but to me that's stupid. The acts of terrorism IN THE US were wrong, and it's time to deal with those here IN THE US that are responsible. Maybe America has gotten too powerful for its own good and they feel every wrong doing in the world is their business nowadays. I don't understand why they just don't go ahead and bomb the rest of the world and take it over as well. It seems to be the concept that this resolves the problem. I do agree that we cannot talk this problem out with the terrorists or their leaders, but yet our government believes in doing this everyday within our own country in courtrooms for people who have committed crimes and giving them a chance to condone what they did wrong to get a shorter sentence or even off the hook. I'm sure if they ever catch the terrorists and the people who did the Anthrax crap (such sorry cowards) they'll only serve 20 years in jail eating up the taxpayers money to support their life. Oh sure some court will give the lifetime sentence with no paroll at first to make it all look good, but get out on good behavior or some nonsense excuse in a few years. Aren't there four terrorists just now going to jail from the incident a few years back on lifetime sentence? Lord forbid we give anyone the death penalty to anyone comitting a crime nowadays in our own country because we might burn in hell for it, but let's instead go blow the hell up out of everyone else we feel is in the wrongdoing outside our country. I just feel that our country needs to get their business straight first here at home before blaming their flaws on other countries and do it quick before the terrorists and supporters within our country destroy it with the anthrax scares and other threats. If the majority feel that making sure justice is served to their country can be accomplished by having war, then maybe our country needs to start handling business with the same attention here at home. Americans, take care of your homeland first. It is where you live, not in Afghanistan. Ox64 [View Quote] --==USW Web-Site==--Oct 22, 2000, 2:15pm
I myself am a lame 600x480 display resolution user. I know most people
nowadays runs 800x600 and greater, but I don't have 20/20 vision and don't like changing all the sizes of everything to just run a higher resolution and get annoying headaches from my inability to get adequate refresh rates and annoying flickering, etc, etc, etc, yada. My two cents and a old shoe to throw in extra is design a site for use to run 640x480, otherwise I burn out my scroll buttons, lol :) I don't know if anyone else out there feels the same about sites designed for > 640x480 or not but thought I would see what others thought. I likewise love the concept of USWF and that's all that matters in the ending. :) And for all those using nbci.com or Xoom to host sites....please get a REAL hosting service!!! Again, in no way am I trying to offend anyone, but throw some old shoes and 2 cents out the door. Ox64 [View Quote] ->> Uhh err.. possibility of getting AW 1.x? <<-Oct 21, 2000, 2:59am

"....(really, how eye-catching is a mansion where the wall
just suddenly stops? A mansion shrouded in fog looks much better.)...." hmm....I don't have that problem, when I don't want a wall to suddenly "stop" I set my visibility to 120 and take a pic, and then go back to low visibility when roaming for better performance. I don't need fog to cover up the imperfections and really don't think it is an excuse for Alphaworld to go wild on the fog settings and off the wall colors of shade. I do feel in some sceneries fog looks good in pictures, but with our current situation with the fog in Alphaworld it is hard to find those scenarios because of the density. I agree with suggestions on the site that Lara mentioned in her previous post. I don't think that the caretaker of Alphaworld should stop changing backdrop changes, but rather use more graceful and natural gradual changes. As an additional comment to it all, since a bot in the theory of things is controlling these world features, it could be possible to make very very small gradual changes throughout a day to the light settings as frequent as every few minutes provided it wasn't a drastic change. If the caretaker wants to base Alphaworld on real-life world conditions, think about how we go from day to night....it is something we don't see change all at once, but a very slow gradual change of the lighting every minute decreasing slowly until we are in the dark of the night. I see no reason why a bot couldn't simulate this based on the VRT time system and have a more pleasant change for the citizens exploring/building in the world. Fog can follow the same concept....we just don't blink our eyes and magically see fog in the real world, nor is it always a frequent thing. It slowly sets in from the distance and some nights/mornings our visibility is almost zero in a worst case. For Alphaworld, this is some h***acious fog conditions all day and night that we currently have!! A change in the backdrop could occur 2 to 3 times/day at the most for a nice effect in changing the scenery and the day/night effect (not every hour). I understand that some people are against the changes, and some people are for it. I know it must be annoying for the caretaker of Alphaworld to have to put up with criticisms all the time. People yelling "change the background!" and others yelling "leave it alone!" That's why my opinion is to compromise. Stop with the drastic and go with the gradual and more realism to Alphaworld fog/light settings and maybe we can have some peace for once. :) Comments, criticisms, and suggestions welcome.

If they can see who I am then I should be able to see who they are! Ox64 [View Quote] ActiveWorlds IRC. Does it exist?Oct 18, 2001, 8:32pm

Only two cents I can offer on the issue is my opinion about those hosting
services who charge according world/user size which I feel is unfair and my biggest gripe. As a result, I feel people have been misled by this theory that the bigger the world or the more users the world has, the more technical it gets in the amount of resources used on the hosting end when in reality there is very little difference (assuming good hardware is in place).

I realize what you are saying is true, however I still feel that it is not
enough to make a difference unless someone decides to go hog wild on cell data in a bigger world. We hosted the worlds Hangout (P-100/50 world) and T3K (P20/5) off an old Cyrix 120mhz machine and there was no noticeable problems in performance. The only thing I ever did manage was to crash the world server process once when we reached the 50 user limit, but I was also majorly overloading the same machine with about 90 other processes at the same time. Tons of builds were built in the world and the cell database stayed right around 5 meg right before the world license expired. I'm sure if our goal was to cram as many objects into the world as possible this figure would have increased quickly, but most people just want a nice looking world that renders well for most people which would mean lower object density. If the use of a few megs of space really that big of a deal to the hosting service, then charge for the amount of space used by the cell data, not by the world license. If they use a lot of space, then I would definitely charge extra without a question. If a hosting service is charging by world license or for a few megs of disk usage, I feel that this would be no benefit to the customers as there are very competitive services available already, even free ones that a few have mentioned in the previous posts, that do not factor this into their prices.

I downloaded it last night fox and it works great. I have tried several
other rwx viewers from other sites in the past and had no problems and no errors getting the programs to run. I'm very happy with this program. Thanks for taking the time to write it. I'll find it useful for working on objects on my local drive. If it's any concern, the hardware I'm running the viewer on is a HP Pavilion 366mhz/64megs RAM and a ATI All-In-Wonder 3D card running the latest video driver from their site. I would say no feedback from the others is good news? (success) :) Ox64 [View Quote] RWXViewer 0.90 beta 1 released !Oct 27, 2001, 9:01pm
Ok I did run across a problem earlier today when I tried to view a skybox
object off of AWGate's object path: http://objects.activeworlds.com/awgate/models/sky_plain0900.zip "RWX has caused an error in kernel32.dll" on Windows ME. Don't know if it's just me or if it happens with anyone else, but thought I would pass this along if you were interested. [View Quote] AW takes a dive (?)Oct 25, 2001, 10:12pm
As of 10pm VRT Thursday night ~500 users currently online. Not bad
considering, although it would be nice to see the numbers back up to 700 and 800 like before, but hopefully that will come soon :) [View Quote] AW takes a dive (?)Oct 27, 2001, 9:19pm
I've seen it at 800 something before, too bad I didn't get a screenshot of
it. I guess I just spend too much time on AW, lol. Ox64 [View Quote] |
