A bot that can detect cell data limit is also usefull... not using hundreds
of objects on the same move commands etc, they just cause allot of lag cause
the vectors have to be calculated.

> Since the output of a transister is read as one of a limited number (2 or
3) of "states" all digital computers work exclusively with integers at the
lowest level. How those integers are represented to the outside world
depends on the software that gets to decide how to convert, translate, or
interpret them for us. For example, a floating poing number can be
represented internally by a signed integer mantissa multiplied by a signed
integer power of 2, and a signed integer can be represented by an unsigned
integer acting as the positive part, added to the product of a single bit (0
or 1) and a fixed negative number. Letters and symbols are also represented
internally by unsigned integers.... in fact, everything is. Even a floating
point co-processor or the floating point unit of a modern microprocessor
deals "internally" only with numeric values that can be represented by base
2 numbers consisting of strings of the digits 1 and 0 and nothing else.
>
> That out of the way, here's how it works in Active Worlds. The integers
used for the positioning of objects represent centimeters from ground zero.
A single click moves an object 0.5 meters, which is 50 centimeters or 0.05
dekameters... and yes there is a decimal point in the number, if I represent
the distance in units larger than centimeters or not evenly divisable by a
centimeter. Anyway, holding the Shift key allows you to move an object
only 5 centimeters, and if you rotate an object, you can move if
approximately 5 centimeters in a non-orthagonal direction. For example an
object rotated one click or 150 internal rotation units (tenths of a degree)
or in other words, 15 degrees from North, and then moved forward a single
shift click (about 5 centimeters) at a direction of North plus 15 degrees,
"should" actually be moved about 4.8296 centimeters North and about 1.294
centimeters West, but when you place the object these numbers have to be
rounded to whole centimeters so some accuracy is lost there. Notice that
this object would then have mover 1 centimeter West, which is smaller than
the 5cm distance of a shift click. Notice also that if they made it
possible to move a single centimeter at such an angle much more accuracy
would be lost. Top that off with the fact that the rotation units used
internally are tenths of a degree, so there are 3600 of them in a full
circle of arc, and I think it's pretty easy to see why such small gaps can
happen if you don't at least reset the initial object's rotation before you
start.

Well how about doing the obvious thing and shooting out their spotlights and
im sure robbie will let us borrow a few of his spotlight objects from his
object path to bring the light onto our side of the equation.
I mean we might as well steal their publicity, we are after all going to
smash their endevour into 3D into a exoillion pieces after people start
learning about Active Worlds.. Now would be a very good time to invest in
advertising to get the focus away from them before they get a foothold.

I dont know about your ideas for the CTs being given control.... it is
possable that this could be deliberatly altered making it chaos for those
who like fast, and alternativly hell for those who like it slow if its put
on turbo.
You may also not know that 3.4 suports a stylish flight more, which although
not as fun as being able to define a way to toggle into it like a previous
beta (why the heck did you not make that button an option >_<) but flight
speed is about 10m/s standard, and by holding ctrl you can go upto about
25m/s and flight around at huge speeds... also with the flight directional
mode (Dissableable) you can take realistic and smooth virtual flights
around... I actually have fun doing 1st person take offs with a friend down
a long road, heh
