Optional way, same result using a saved search.
I translate a german version so the dialog texts might be slightly
different :

- Click the windows taskbar and press F3 while it has the focus, or use
the startmenu / search.
- In the name field enter "avatars.dat" (without the quotes)
- in the location field the complete path to the cache (e.g. "c:\Active
Worlds\cache\art")
- click the search button and wait for the result
- in the menu click "File" - "Save search"

You now have a ".fnd" file on your desktop that will repeat the search
everytime you start it.
You can remove a file direct from the search results by pressing Shift
and Del together.

AccuTrans on http://www.micromouse.ca can read RWX and write 3DS. It can
load models without clearing the previous model.

Many formats (not 3ds, sorry) are on
http://www.cica.indiana.edu/graphics/3D.objects.html

And here is another (ancient) list :
http://docs.cn.ua:8102/Graphics/ImageFormats/file-formats.3.html.
Actually a text file, there are no links, you have to cut/paste the
URIs. Several I tried were outdated.

More a missing feature than a wish :

At the moment the only way to see if my own universe session is still
functional is to take my own name to the contact list. The entry isn't
necessearily within the visible region of the list and takes one of the

Easy solution for that - a second EXE file doesn't read port= but
ptrial= and has a different, very high default port build-in.
All user data should be synchronized (or shared if possible) between the
two universes. If sharing cannot be done this second EXE file should
have changing of user data disabled, to avoid possible replication
conflicts.

As this solution is really simple, the source code changes in 2.2, 3.0
and 3.1 could be done within few minutes. As only data constants are
changed that are (hopefully) held in only one central place, a new beta
phase would not be required.

This solution is much better than hiding any universe, and it would be
open for all users.

If this limit isn't a bug but a design feature, it is at least wrong
that AW accepts more than 750 worlds to sign up for one universe.

Maybe already fixed in AW3.x :

When AW (2.2) looses its focus - for a cut and paste operation from a
different program for example - it does not restore the caret focus to
the same field.

Writing something to the whisper line, activating a different
application, returning to AW : result is, that the normal chat line has
the caret focus.

Gobman created the area by building mirrored objects below a translucent

At the gate of http://www.vectorscape.com the same trick is used.

Every change in the world message causes this message to be displayed
again, for all people who are currently visiting the world.
You could start the message with capital "ANNOUNCEMENT:" or "BROADCAST:"
to be sure it will be heard - or make a bot change it slightly 3 times

I agree to all except for the cell database, here my 2=A2 :

I really do not see how a cell database rewrite for just the mentioned
problems would cause any loss of data. Modifications of the kind that
would be required for the token stuff and for the positioning are some
the most common database modifications, the only thing to do is to write
a conversion tool that takes the data from the old database, aligns the
format for each database field types and writes them to the new
database, a 1:1 conversion.
The problem will not be the loss of data but the compatibility to the
old browsers - and if the OpenGL support works well I think backwards
compatibility becomes less important.

A file size limit makes sense with NOT streaming. Streaming should not
be cached and not require a size limit. A streaming audio file actually
doesn't have a defined size, if the quality changes depending on the

Save this as PHP file jpgtxt.php to your textures folder.


====== USAGE 1 ======

Create a zpict2.rwx with :
create picture jpgtxt.php?f=5&t=HELLO^WORLD|This^is^line^2

The script takes 2 arguments at the moment :
f=5
t=HELLO^WORLD|This^is^line^2

The f= is the font size and can go from 1 up to 5

The t= is the text to show. As you see it uses dashes ^ instead of space
characters and pipes | instead of newline characters.

====== LIMITATIONS ======

Although the script is located in the textures folder "create texture"
doesn't work - it doesn't seem to like those characters.

It doesn't use loadable bitmap fonts yet(!) so the available fonts are
limited to the PHP standard fonts f=1 up to f=5 - not very custom yet
but maybe the first step to custom fonts.

Another improvement will be color and bcolor as arguments instead of
fixed colors in the script.

The previous version had some trouble, it was cached sometimes(?) - but
this one looks MUCH better and works :

<?PHP
Header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreate (256,256);

$tmp = $HTTP_GET_VARS["tc"]; // text color
if (empty ($tmp))
$r = $g = $b = 0xff;
else
{
$r = hexdec (substr ($tmp, 0, 2));
$g = hexdec (substr ($tmp, 2, 2));
$b = hexdec (substr ($tmp, 4, 2));
}
$fore = ImageColorAllocate ($im, $r, $g, $b);

$tmp = $HTTP_GET_VARS["bc"]; // background color
if (empty ($tmp))
$r = $g = $b = 0x00;
else
{
$r = hexdec (substr ($tmp, 0, 2));
$g = hexdec (substr ($tmp, 2, 2));
$b = hexdec (substr ($tmp, 4, 2));
}
$back = ImageColorAllocate ($im, $r, $g, $b);

imagefill ($im, 1, 1, $back);


$size = $HTTP_GET_VARS["s"]; // size
if ($size == 0)
$size = 10;

$list = explode("|", $HTTP_GET_VARS["t"]); // text

$pos = $size / 1.5;
foreach ($list as $line)
{
$line = strtr ($line, "^", " ");
ImageTTFText ($im, $size, 0, 0, $pos, $fore, "symbol.ttf", $line);
$pos = $pos + $size;
}

ImageJPEG ($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);
?>

Copy this script to any folder on your server, I used
"oct31.de/fonts/cyr.php"
Copy the character set "symbol.ttf" from your \windows\font folder to
the same folder on the server.

Off course any other TTF file can be used, it is referenced only in one
line of the script and can easily be changed.

====== USAGE ======

Create a zpict2.rwx with :
create picture
oct31.de/fonts/cyr.php?s=50&bc=d06060&tc=0020ff&t=HELLO|WORLD||and^some|more^text

The script takes 4 arguments :
- the font size in pixels s=50
- the background color in hex bc=d06060
- the text color tc=0020ff

Create sign with an URL specified would be nice, so that the sign text
could be dynamically created, maybe together with an "update=NNN"
option. There should be some predefined variables to be used in the
URL, [citno] and [citname], so a sign could be special for this one
person.

Well, if that's true he doesn't know much about file formats - but you
don't seem to know the difference between knowledge and intelligence.

Oh, and you should check your knowledge about possible file sizes,
here are 2 links that might help you :

http://www.abbottloop.org/alconweb/i_c_r/zbrain.htm
http://www.jimpinto.com/writings/symbiotic.html

If you do not find a medium that can take the required amount of data
you will hardly be able to create a single file that can contain all
the informations a brain can hold.

Windows PC is restricted to the letters, Unix doesn't know drive
letters, you just create a folder so you have a mountpoint and use a
command to "glue" a partition to this mountpoint - and again one step
further away from the topic, sorry ;)

Notepad has a limit of 64K in the small windows versions, at least in
the older ones. The limit would be 32767 (or a little below) lines as
an empty line consumes at least 2 bytes.
INI files had the same in 16bit windows versions, as long as you
accessed them with the standard windows methods.

I mention the INI file as it makes clear where this limit came from,
the maximum amount of memory that a 16Bit Intel CPU could allocate in
one piece was (2 to the power of 16) bytes - and 2^16=65536.

All the following informations come from seeing what how things look
like, I have no informations about the conzept how the
browser/universe/world work together, but watch the program you use
and you will find that it must be like I describe it or at least very
similar.

The maximum size of a contacts.txt at the moment would be 800 bytes =
(6 places for the user number + 2 places for the line end) * 100
lines. This is neither a technical limitation of a .TXT file nor one
of the AW browser. It is limited to reduce the traffic, the time to
update the name of 100 contact numbers is already quite long - and the
information about the online status and world has to go through the
universe server too.

One solution could be reducing the refresh rate for online status, but
that would just set a new, somewhat higher limit.

Another one would be to have 2 types of contact entries, those that
are only informational and those that are queried for their online
status. That you can already have with http://oct31.de/aw/awclbot

A third way would be to move the complete contact list handling to the
universe (or any other central) server and transfer only status
changes to the browser, the browser just would reeive an information
when someone goes or comes, changes his name or the world where he is.
Lots of code rewrite I bet.

Read back, you wanted to have that capacity in one file
