Beware, you'll need a DOS box (Win32 console) for this :

There are more than one possible reason for this.

The INI file allows excluding specific models

- by size (ExcludeSize=....) This is thought to exclude
models like huge sky objects as they have been used a
lot in 2.2/3.1 and might still be on the OPs

- by name (ExcludeZObj=...) This allows to exclude models
starting with the letter Z, "Special" objects, that
require special rights.


The third reason might be a technical one.

After you ran the program over the registry, it gives you
the size of the resulting area. If this size exceeds your
world size (length or width or both) you can try to fit
it in by modifying the other parameters in the INI file.

I usually start with both offset values (xOffset=/zOffset=)
set to 0 and making the result square by playing with the
BuildWidth=, if it cannot be fit, I increase the number in
LayerCount= or decrease the MinDist=, if only little space
is missing.

When the "shape" of the area is OK, I set the offset values
to half the width that the program told me as the result of
the last run. It is centered at GZ then.

I think, with a registry it should be possible for
the world server, to trigger bump events in a similar
way as it detects encroachments without adding a full
feature render engine to the server.
At least on avatar base position level it should work.

Of course I am not sure how much additional load it
would bring to the server. But I think, if they limited
it to the current cell plus the 8 adjectant cells, a
good server hardware should be able to handle it easily.

Don't forget that walking _on_ objects creates a bump
event too. Should really not be done by the browsers.

IT specialists estimate the total windows bugs and exploits
for all (latest) versions to be a total of 2000.

They also estimate that MS knows about 600 of them already

For Roland and Wayne - starting the concepts :

Options needed :

- "allow local smells"
- "allow tourist smell"
- "set smell range to X meters"
- "download .sml files"
- "max. smell intensity"

and off course a new rights entry in the world settings

The Sequence format has to be enhanced to support that and
large objects might need a new tag as of the low range

I hope it will not need an implementation of DirectSmell
as I still use WinNT 4.0 and I bet MS will not support it
for this old OS

Sorting the list would be nice to have the online checked names on
top - so the check mark would need a separate column

Adding a comment to the list would be even nicer as of some change
their names (too) often - even better - a contact card to add EMail
and ICQ and a comment for example

That brings me to a function / macro in the action or description
line :

$name$(12345) could be replaced by the actual name of user 12345
&owner$ could be interpreted as the object owner so
$name$(&owner$) would represent the object owners name

It would be cool if that could work in the welcome message too,
$owner$ should be the world owner there

Bad thinking, I would really miss some of these unexperienced users
in AW universes and I rather spend hours on explaining boring stuff
than to lock out friends or potential friends !

Many AW users just click-through the install process and Micro$oft
does the rest to keep them uninformed by
- hiding some essential file types by default
- hiding registered extensions by default

I already held some basic windows courses for customers (although
I don't see that as my job) and I know that even using the mouse
buttons AND the keyboard is hard to learn for some.

Not everyone can be a freak, hacker or computer kid - and a
community like AW should be colorful in its variety of persons.

So please don't treat someone like an idiot if he has less
experience or a different intention to use AW, think more liberal!

Do you need to know how the citric acid cycle works in order to use
it everyday? A computer is a tool, not a holy cow.

I prefer command lines myself and sometimes I bite into my keyboard
when I hear some questions. But I see that people who love the things
that their software can do must not necessarily love their computer.

Well made programs ease the life of users instead of making it more
complicated. A secretary who uses M$-Word on her companies computer
should not be forced to deal with the OS that runs in this noisy
box, she should not even need to know what an OS is.

How can an artist who wants to use Bryce see the need to deal with
Windows? Would a program like AW be as popular as it is if it would
expect users to use a command line to start it, edit the INI file
with NotePad and write scripts to place the objects?

Unfortunately those unexperienced users seldom use newsgroups, else
there would be more simple requests that are easy to implement.
The advantage you get from these little helpers really is worth
the work, believe me.

You can write it down so easy as you are interested in your computer.

Understanding a computer must be very hard for a person who is not
really interested in PCs - and it takes much more time to really
understand if the operating system hides essential things.

Even in the time when DOS 2.x was the default OS in companies they
tried to keep the users away from maintaining their PC themselves,
blocked direct DOS access and overlayed it with interfaces.

The citric acid thing might does not really compare to an OS. But
your car example does not work either, many own a car and never made
an oil change themselves.

Lots of users really see a PC as a mystery, some things that happen
inside are too abtract, the desktop is not really like the top of
their desk.

I agree that you can get much more out off your computer if you know
about its organs and are familiar with bits and bytes, but again -
you have a big interest for these things so it is easy for you to
learn. Knowledge exchange does not start at a high level and many
new users need guidance on their first steps.

I like the community idea that exists in AW and therefor I will keep
trying help unexperienced users. No one forces you to do the same.
When I was new to all this I have read your pages about cell space
and building hints and found them very interesting. But for users who
don't want to deal with so many details I break the informations into
smaller parts that are easier to understand or extract essentials.

If I see a small problem that is easy to solve, why not post it in
this wishlist. It saves my time explaining some things so it is my
wish to see that solved - and as long as no one takes my right to
speak away or filters my postings I will keep posting simple wishes
too, if I see need for it.

if not as an eject option, maybe the world rights box could be
modified by adding a "not" checkbox - so you could say


enter : ID1, ID2, ID3, ID4
=> implies : everyone else may not enter

or optional

enter : NOT ID1, ID2, ID3, ID4
=> implies : everyone else may enter

Less changes in the interface but same effect - and you could
be more specific in your choice what you want to allow or to deny
(everyone may build except for ... - everyone speak except ...)

this will only fail if someone re-enters as a tourist or with a
different Citizen-ID but I still think it would be a good thing
to have that option

Giving your priviledge password to someone who turns out to be a vandal,
I think if someone does that it is his own fault if he is ejected from
worlds for a while. The priv. password can do as much damage as having
the real password of a user. I know that many give it to lots of ppl.
and then have trouble with that - so change your priv password
frequently,
give it only to ppl. you trust or set it only while you can watch the
one
who will use it.

So it is not unfair to eject a vandal using a priv. pass of someone
else,
it helps "someone else" learn to take care for his own rights.

I think it would be a good thing to remove these few data kept in
worlds.dat and query them from the world server instead - everytime a
user enters. Reason is that the object path is not updated there when it
is updated in the world option dialog.
The last choosen avatar data (model and sequences) should be stored in a
different way - key should be the combination world+objectpath as some
object paths are shared and some worlds change between different themes
that could be held on different object paths then (OWs Dimension concept
for example).
Another solution for the avatars would be a field in the world option
dialog that contains the name of the avatars.dat file so each theme can
have different avatars.
