[View Quote] Because 9 out of 10 times I am right, and you will be wrong.

That 1 out of 10 incident where I am wrong usually has a damned good reason
for me being wrong.

Thats not ego, thats just me and the acomplices I discuss such matters with
knowing significantly more about these matters than you.

<?xml version="1.0 ?>
<rant>

Of course, I could be wrong - You could be an expert in the SDK, know the
full implication of learning it, know how to apply it in C++, know how to
best interface it to worlds, regually discuss matters with hundreds of other
programmers, have used the 4.1 sdk, made RPGs before and lets not forget you
are clearly an expert at negotiation 'Like the dope you've been smoking'.

But I doubt im wrong... If you were everything above; you could have made
your own damned RPG by now working 12 hours a day. I could have ^_^

Sure, but that isnt likely to happen, and would have add on effects.

Any decent bot will have its own per-interval movement system that tracks
between positions, such as following, or rotating around.

Evening All,

After a delightful conversation with JP who has told me to 'fuck off' I am
apparently going to be sued by Active Worlds for distributing illegal 3.6
universes, and my account has been dissabled.

It is of course a lie, it seems AWI does not like harsh comments about 4.1
being given.

Feel free to be pissed off, I am.

- MR

Nov 25, 2005, 6:36pm

I Wish.

[View Quote] Check the wishlist posts

Either way I assure you all all I have not, at any point, distributed any
3.6 universes to anyone, nor any 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 etc etc etc.

Now, I know as a *FACT* that JP's claim to have a 'witness' to this
distribution is a lie - simply because I dont have an illegal 3.6 universe.

Some of you will probably be glad of this, and I hope the majority of you
will be mortified that someone who has given 5 years and thousands upon
thousands of hours to Active Worlds (and a significant portion to AWI
themselves) is threatened in such a way.

I will start a blog of the proceedings on www.temporal-solutions.co.uk for
when my newsgroup access gets killed.

Thankfully, after another phone call - JP has been considerate and is making
more direct investigations in an attempt to validate what he has been told.

This in my opinion is a much better way to go about it than being swore at
constantly.

I will of course try to keep everyone upto date, I have no doubt that if
done properly JP will find what he has been told by this unknown 3rd part is
infact in lie.

Here is hoping this will end civilly, so no rioting in the streets plz.

Hi,

Could someone, hell, *anyone* explain to me if there is some method behind
this absolute madness:

All of the opacities are stored as *integers* instead of floats between 0
and 1.

What
The
Hell
Is
The
Point?

Am I missing some glorious aspect of my knowledge that is going to cause me
problems? (short of Syntax just going 'oh, opacity doesnt seem to work' and
me going 'oh, thats because some moron made it an integer where *almost
everything* else is a float.')?

Yes, its a rant, but yes - if anyone has any decent replies on if I am
missing some crucial piece of information as to why its implimented this way
and someone isnt just being lazy and not dividing by 1000 on a scroller bar?

Its a number that identifies the object unique to the cell, forming part of

No idea, but it sounds logical - the X and Z optimise the efficency while
combined with the number would minimize collisions.

Best bet would be to try aw_object_load giving the same cell and object
number (but diff attributes) for 2 or more calls.

Uh.... You really have no idea. Things like AW take *hundreds of thousands*
or even *millions* of LOC to write. At last count Evo was 35,000 and if you
include the heavy heavy use of multiline macros that pushes it up to about
40,000.

When you have 7 or 8 thousand hours of coding experience behind you. Then
you can challenge me. Infact what the hell.

I challenge you, produce your own version, C++, everything, Dynamic rights
system, multimode attributes editing, 100+ commands, god knows how many
reports, the back end database interface, the XML communication standards,
the profile management system, the advanced logging capabilities, the
context sensing menus, the graphical display interfaces, the compressable
GUI.

Oh, and more than 2 { or } on a line does not count.

See you in 10 years and 80,000 - 10,000 lines of code because I can
guarentee you cannot code as pure as I can.

5 years SDK and still cant apply -_-

I too was planning on adding SDK documentation to my new AW 'super-site'
(eventually) and fitting it using the same help manager I use for the AW
docs, hence allowing people to provide their own examples etc.

A question, have I neglected to add any? At this point I am only looking for
commercial (or linked) 'companies' to add, such as modelling providers,
hosting services, bot designers and so forth.

At the moment im just after a short description, contact and owner info, a
url and perhaps a more extended piece of information, soon I will be adding
things like hosting comparisons, reviews etc.

I would like to see console message length increased to around 280
characters so one complete line of text (+ name and \t:) can be included per
console message. Seems a rather obvious benefit.

Also, console messages taking an array of sessions would be good.
