ROFL - Yes it is sad but very true - You would think no one had ever seen
naked people before the Internet came around.

I just got the user name and password to setup the server - changed the
settings to let everyone in - but no one can get in. LOL - this sux :)
I will post here when its up and running and hopefully how to make it work
even when running MS Internet Connection Sharing - Yes it is on the Main
Computer which connects to the internet and yes it show the right IP in the
World Server Program -

[View Quote] Talking about naked people, they are OK and after looking for a few minutes
they lose my interest just like all new things. The problem is when they do
things that should be only done ? in private that it becomes a sad thing.
As for me and being naked I know that the first thing that would happen is
someone would call the whale rescue people to come and get me!!!!! Therefore
it is never going to happen if I have anything to say about it! On the other
hand I do not need a towel to hid things because my belly take care of that
LOL!

There are no lights in our bedroom and no looking glass in the house and
this is how we like it LOL.

Sorry but I try to have fun as much as I can and when it makes others smile
it makes me happyer! Did I ever tell you guys about the time I was on TV...
I will save that one for next time.

Thanks to Agent1 for telling me what the heck a "Cracked Brower" is....

Ultima Online had this problem in its early days, in an on line game it was
a much more serious problem though since people could walk through your
house door and take your hard fought for items you got in the dungeons.

As Agent1 wrote all movement is really done on the client side and then
actual co-ordinates are "Reported" to the server and other Avatars. Thus,
the only solution for this is to write a plug in that will do server checks
for every movement an avatar makes. IF the client tries to walk through a
wall then the server says "No" basically.

Problems with doing this:
It causes server lag waiting for movement authorization, how much? Well,
consider that all that is happening now is that the client is telling the
server that he is in the world and nothing else. All other movements or
Current locations are reported to the other "Clients" that are currently in
the world, not to the server. The only other thing the server currently
tracks is when messages are sent. (At least this is all that is reported in
the World Server Window.) So if I am wrong and it does track avatar
locations then simply double the current movement traffic.

It causes what's known as "Rubber Banding Effect" - where your client takes
a step through a wall but then the server throws you back a step since your
not allowed to do that. (Sometimes you could take several steps through the
walls before the server would kick you back out, depending on how fast the
server responds to the move request)

If this were a software program that allowed you to "Own" objects, by way of
having an Inventory, then I can see where it might be worth the time and
effort to write such a plug in for the server. But since its not I really
don't think the loss in performance is worth the effort. Your also talking
about a program that would also have to tag each and every item in every
world as a solid or otherwise impassible object. The code would most likely
be huge.

Anyway I hope this helps in some way.
