his aworld.ini with 100 ppw's in it

Duh, so easy, I didn't think, off course you're right - second
security step would be to crypt it in a way that the username you
stored it with is needed to decrypt.

It would at least require that he uses the nickname of the one he got
the INI file from, if they included that name in the encryption. A
little more security.

I already posted that here, similar.
No need to specify 1,2,-3,4,-5 - that doesn't make too much sense.

Better would be to have an "Invert" choice in a checkbox, so all
numbers are either be treated as "allow" or "deny"

1. your example makes no sense at all, neither with Dereks
idea nor with mine

2. you did not understand my idea

With something like :

invert selection : [x]
enter : 123, 345, 456

you have allowed enter for everyone except for these 3 people.

I think it is OK to bring this idea up often.

As soon as a world gets larger you get into trouble bringing
enough builders into world options. Worlds that are larger
than a P50 are not interesting for a certain usage :
No registry, as open as possible but with a way to exclude
vandals.

But it makes no sense to explicite include some people from
the list and to explicite exclude some others.
It makes only sense to have either an exclude list OR an
include list.

Your example was : 1,2,-3,4,-5

But having 1,2 and 4 INcluded automatically EXcludes 3 and 5
so you need not specify these two as excluded.

That's what Felix did not understand and that's what I tried
to explain. His example was "*,326308,325768" - that never
makes sense, you allow everyone plus these 2 citizens to do
something? Everyone already includes these two!

The checkbox would say "This is an EXclude-list", having it
not checked makes the list be an INclude list.

EXclude lists mean "Everyone except for ... may do something"
INclude lists mean "No one except for ... may do something"

sigh, hard to explain but I hope now it's clearer

Defered acceptance of a name change would help as well.
The new requested name could be locked in the uniserver
for one week, before the name change takes effect.

The charging idea isn't a good one, who would be charged
for the name changes of world citizenships? The world owner?
The universe owner does not necessarily have a way to
charge a citizen.

Here you find the SDK description : http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/
The pages are all below this path so you can use a download manager
to make an offline copy from it.

Hint to Facter :

What about a complete zipped version ?
The links seem all to be relative to this path so it should be
easy to do.

That's exactly what I used, but I think it would not be a bad idea
to have it in one piece. TPP is no freeware.

Wishlist for AW?

AFAIK cable speed depends on the number of people that are using
the same link, whereas DSL is independant from that.
Btw. : there is not one DSL speed, how much bandwidth they allow
for one user depends very much on the provider.

Several people with 3.1 often freeze or crash and have no chance
to see if they will download a newer version on the download page.

SNIEF - my AV list is full, I already had to remove avatars

A QWORD would be nice so every current and fiuture AW citizen can
have his own AV.

Well, ok - a WORD would be fine for a while ;)

Byte = 256 (current limit for avatars)
Word = 2 Bytes = 256^2 = 65536
DWord = 2 Words = 655362^2 = 4294967296
QWord = 4 Words = 65536^4 = 18446744073709551616

That should be sufficient for all times ;)


D stands for Double, Q for Quad(ruple)

A QWord is enough to have more than one individual AV for every
person who lives on Terra at least, and leave enough for some bots
for everyone ;)
It would be quite crowded if there would really be so many people
on earth.

That's what I said, "not more lag than ...".

So if a building bot is acceptable this will be acceptable too,
I am quite sure that it will be a building bot that will do the
update work.

Some HTTP servers seem to have an incorrect or no file size
in the HTTP reply header so it might not be possible to detect
the "fully downloaded" state.

If a request results in a 404, it already will be reloaded
when you teleport to a place that doesn't exist or a red world.
If this does not work it would mean that there was no such error.

2.2 gives a triangle for an object that has no size.
3.1 "shows" it, invisible of course.

It would be better to have a way to remove buggy objects.
If 2 or all 3 dimensions are zero a triangle should show.

It would be nice to have more informations in the browser ID that
is sent in the HTTP request :

- AW version
different objects or textures for different browsers

- World
different avatar sets for different worlds

and maybe

- Citizen name
citizen specific sign texts without bots

- Citizen number
sorry to bring this up again, could enable choosing individual
backdrops for example ;)

Of course these things are only interesting for scripted OPs
but I see the OP as part of the client/server conzept so it
should be supplied with some more informations.

Once the basic possibilities are implemented this will bring
up more ideas for the OP scripts I bet.

A good reason to restart the discussion about charging
name changes. I bet, name updates once per logon would
be sufficiend then. And if someone takes his virtual
identity serious he will not change it everyday.

[View Quote] Content rules :

Mail and news are developed to communicate in 7 bit ascii.
Both work on Unix character terminals very well with a
simple command line interface.

Newsgroups are for discussions and informations, HTML does
not add value to your informations, so there's no need to
use it. It even makes mails unreadable in some newsreaders.

No need to waste bandwidth just because you are able to do
it. The bandwidth is a global resource and newsgroups usually
are spread all around the world (Usenet).

The places where to post attachements are organized in the
"binaries" groups, all other groups try to stay clean.


Style rules :

Visit 10 newsgroups and you will find 10 different rules
for posting, style rules are (IMO) pure nonsense. The way
you write is part of your way to express things.

I prefer short lines that can be quoted 2 or 3 times without
beeing wrapped, some prefer long lines and no automatic
wrapping breaks at all. You will find groups that flame
you for either of these 2 styles.
