I disagree,

It is important to demonstrate possibilities without the need for the user
to know very much about the product you are showing off, and one of the most
simple ways of doing that is a few very simple point-and-click games.

New users should not have to 'work' to experience a working example of at
least some of the possibilities, and should not have to leave range of the
support staff during that time.

They could just go to AW world and play there,

But then they are out of range of support.

I request, nay demand that a Union Jack be placed in AWGate.

God damned USA only rubbish.

- MR

Dec 2, 2004, 4:29pm

Thats correct, it is.

However, the AWGate is made up mainly of UK / USA persons, so it would seem
fair that everyone is represented. A great many people dislike having the
USA flag shoved in their face with no possibility of them being represented
also.

I would like to see an optional 'tourists appear black' option, this would
be much better for people who can not see their screens very well.

For example, partially blind people, or more importantly; me sitting on my
bed 2 meters away from my screen with text size up +300x zoom.

- MR

Dec 1, 2004, 6:09pm

Yup, thats what I do, hence the 300x zoom comment on the rich text box.

But still doesnt help that much for tourist text.

ZIP will crush a set of repeated bytes such as 255 255 255 255 255 255 255
255 255 255 255 255 x 100 or so down to near nothing.

I would like to see some large (2x 4 Byte Long || double?) identifiers that
is unique to each login and given to the sdk on avatar enter.

I feel this is important to coordinate between logs of various bots at
different times.

- MR

Dec 24, 2004, 1:09am

I would very much like a Unique Login ID (4 byte long or perhaps an __int64)
to be assigned to each user when they log in and that is only used once (ie:
incremented each time).

This would allow bots to syncronise the avatars that they see by logs for
example:

aw-12345 would be the same to one bot as aw-12345 would be to another bot.

Very very handy for security purposes.

Session # is reset as soon as it his 16 bit integer limit, hence why I
wanted something a little more fixed.

Thats what I am doing at the moment, however crazy long unreadable numbers
are not liked by my DBMS.

I would like to see some way of rotating the sky gradient around by an
angle,

So instead of having it aligned red to the north for example, you could
align the red to the northwest easily.

AFAIK the VoIP feature is placed on the tabs (with contacts etc, and it
shows all the users, when they speak / broadcast everyone gets it, or they
can select a private confence with someone)

[View Quote] This is only ever done one way (ie: letting you hear other people) no
environment I know of will enable your microphone remotly. You still have to
enable it at the time manually nomatter what.

I would like to see an inbuilt push button to switch the rendering process
to minimal (1 frame a second or so - or maybe just paused) so that for when
you just need the AW chat you can stop huge amounts of CPU power being
needed to swap data in / out of the aworld.exe's paging sectors.

Will be a big help where chat is all that counts.

Probably, i need an operations per line counter, as its pretty heavily

ZIP passwords are not the actual passwords, the password produces a set of
keys - comparing a zip with a password and one without is called plain text
comparison / comparing the keys - it gives the a password.

But proxy > Decoder > read is the easiest way, but only a few people have
access to that, 2 or 3.

The issue is rendering the webpages in such a way that they can then have
