It would be nice if all dump commands would work
without stopping the worlds. Common access to world databasesJun 12, 2002, 2:44am
hm, maybe that would work, not on the backup but on a
fresh copy, I should try cp. Thanks :) [View Quote] RWX or action to switch between slide / climbJun 12, 2002, 4:20am
The new slide feature wasn't a bad idea, but causes
problems on some models that used to lead the avatar up. It would be nice to switch it off for models or individual objects, either with a #! command in the RWX or with the action line. RWX or action to switch between slide / climbJun 15, 2002, 2:30am
I want to revise my wish :
The new slide feature wasn't a bad idea, but causes problems on SEVERAL models that used to lead the avatar up. It would be nice to switch it ON for models or individual objects, either with a #! command in the RWX or with the action line. Default should be the behaviour as it was before. > The new slide feature wasn't a bad idea, but causes > problems on some models that used to lead the avatar > up.

Of course it can be fixed. Let the editors browser wait
for the cell update, like the browsers of all others do that too. The cell will not be updated, if a wall cannot be deleted [View Quote] These messages are new since you scrolled backJun 14, 2002, 4:02am
Shouldn't that be announced by the guy who delivers the
telegrams, the operator, instead of the immigration officer? I know this is a really bad bug (not 3.3 specific) and instantly should be fixed, because it could cause trouble with the ActiveWorkersCouncil ... full text search in telegramsJun 22, 2002, 2:21am
Although this can be done by exporting the telegrams
to a text file, it would sometimes be nice to look for something while you're online. Regexp search would be even better of course. World RefreshJun 25, 2002, 5:33pm
I know 2 ways that make the stuff continue to load :
The first one works if you replaced a model on the object path : just write ../models/modelname.zip - this at least helps to trick the cache once. If you just want to get some triangles reloaded, teleport to XYZ 0N 0W using the menu. This does not always force loading to continue, but at least sometimes. It works better if you use the same browser for several universes/galaxies - use a cached (though not existing) world for the teleport target. Sure I would prefer to be able to invalidate the cache selectively too, but maybe this can help you for a while. [View Quote] Disable Glitter Kitty and Ambivalent for the NGJun 28, 2002, 2:38am

This isn't "one side that I don't like", but you miss-used
a CyAwards announcement for your PRIVATE wars. Give it an own thread and I can ignore the thread. I do not ignore a person. Disable Glitter Kitty and Ambivalent for the NGJun 28, 2002, 3:52pm
It still goes on in the thread "Cy Nominations Officially Open!",
where it should not even have started. If you had conzerns you could as well have sent them to Alphabit Phalpha in EMail, she is a nice person and she would sure have agreed to meet you and discuss it. I started this thread with a wish - and it's still stand to this wish. Reading 200 or more hate posts in a thread that would have interested me - not nice. If you would have continued it in "your" thread, I wouldn't be mad about that - although I don't like people fighting eachother - but I have seen more than one flame war thread, and I somehow got used to it :( If you want custom avatars, download some from oct31.de and modify them, my stuff isn't as good as Insanity's, but maybe you find something you like. I will not get involved in this whole thing between Insanity and you, I will not take party, although I know and respect Insanity. It's your and his problem. My problem is just that I don't want to read those childish accusations of you both anymore in a thread where it should not be.

Couldn't the file transfer function finally be fixed ???
It should notify the RECEIVER that the directory he uses for incoming files isn't valid, not the SENDER. GRRRRRR !!!!!!!! Idea:fill gap between tourists and citizensJul 1, 2002, 5:14am
Cheap citizenships with a limited monthly online time
for people who just visit randomly and just to keep contact. Maybe 15$ for 10 hours/month - about the same price per minute that some call by call ISPs take. I think this cannot be done with the current uniserver but maybe a nice idea to bring in more people in one of the next versions Woah nice new feature.Jul 2, 2002, 2:51am
In Beta they say it isn't an option :(
But some beta testers already complained, so it might become an option before the final comes out. I hope it too, the old style names above heads was fine for me. [View Quote] Negative LightsJul 2, 2002, 2:47am
I think someone posted, that it had been fixed in the RW
libraries, s AW cannot use it anymore :( [View Quote] Defualt Terrain Texture ChangabilityJul 5, 2002, 4:05pm
On NT you can make hardlinks too. FAR can do that for example
http://www.rarlab.com/, not sure if it works for other windows versions too. On a FAT file system it can be done with a disk editor, but I cannot really recommend it, if you are not exactly aware of what you're doing, because each chkdsk will report a lot of problems, and if you allow chkdsk to fix it, it will destroy stuff.

I don't like slide either. what about an RWX setting
#! SlideDetect off or as a third collision state #! Collision NoSlide or in the action command create slide no Or better : No slide is default (backwards compatibility), and add the commands #! Collision Slide and/or create slide [View Quote] disable chat scroll with mouseJul 7, 2002, 4:18am
everytime I click into the chat window to
hilite text for copy, the chat window scrolls to a random position. This feature is 100% crap. disable chat scroll with mouseJul 7, 2002, 5:11pm
Sometimes, when you click the very last line to set the
caret (blinking text cursor) into this line, it doesn't scroll, sometimes it scrolls to somewhere in the middle and sometimes to the top of the logged chat. This, together with the bug that eep reported in beta - hyperlinks still work behind the end of a line - make it sometimes nearly impossible to hilite a line that contains something that looks like a hyperlink.

.... but don't forget to optimize the RWX (consolidate clumps) before
you start. A tree with one clump for each tiny branch will freeze AW quite "reliable" when it's added to the scene. It isn't fault of the RWX format if the design is unnecessarily complex. [View Quote] Extended Viewing RangeJul 24, 2002, 3:21am
Maybe a "second level cache" would be the solution, preloading
one row of cells more than needed. This could happen with low priority, but the stuff would already be in memory when it's needed. I doubt that this is a program change that can be done quick though :-/ [View Quote] Extended Viewing RangeJul 25, 2002, 3:06am
In order to write a converter, you don't need to have any special
developement environment or rendering software, you "just" need to know the file specifications. RWX is well documented. [View Quote] Multiple People GramsJul 21, 2002, 3:17am
I think it's just a question of another privacy option,
same as telegrams sent by bots. If the telegrams had a header information that marks them as mass telegrams or bot telegrams, it would be easy to add a citizen option to allow either or none of them. If the universe server would already check the option and filter out unwanted telegrams, it would not produce more traffic. So if someone really implemented it but would also implement the options to block the telegrams, you could use your spoon to stab some people from microsoft. I guess, not more than 10% of all citizens would allow receiving mass- or bot-telegrams - so it's still the question wether it makes sense or not. [View Quote] Exploration ModeJul 22, 2002, 3:00pm
The model format and the rendering speed are absolutely
independant in this case. RWX is a format that contains only quite basic features that you will find in nearly all other format too, it's a subset of most other formats, except for few very old ones like nff or raw triangle. The only thing that is affected by the file format is the time a model needs to be added to a scenery, but as AW caches the models already tokenized and/or interpreted, so this plays only a minor role, except for models that are newly added to the cache (and scene). [View Quote] Exploration ModeJul 23, 2002, 3:17am
RWX is fast. As I don't know any real competitor of
AW yet, with all features that AW allows me to use, I cannot say if AW is slow or fast, I just have nothing to compare it to. [View Quote] Disallow certain permissionsJul 23, 2002, 3:14am

The problem isn't the language, as long it isn't the new
microsoft C#rap. The problem is, that the class libraries that are used in GUI applications are usually not available on and not easily portable to other systems. C++ is not much more than C with a smarter preprocessor, so if only the language is used the application is as portable as C is. The first C++ compilers actually have been preprocessors for C - I think Glockenspiel was one of those. [View Quote] |
