...actually.. i completeley disagree-I personally feel aw has plenty of money
to go around.. over 30 universes, all paying their money to aw.. over 700
worlds.. paying they're money to aw.. at any one time there can be 300-700+
users on aw.. most paying they're money to aw.. and with all of this money
coming in.. what do they have to pay for? maybe rent (for the building)
connection.. servers.. employees.. but I'm almost certain that their money
coming in is a much higher rate then they're money going out.. you'll talk
about how low they're stock is, but when considering the recession, and what
there stock HAS been.. it's not that bad.... a lot of large succesfull
companies are merging with aw.. so it can't be THAT pathetic.. but i could
be wrong....

AWCI
: simply needs to create a world called AFK, DINNER, and TOILET. Speech in

: TOILET would be a giant toilet that everyone teleports in and falls in to.
: TK's (toilet keepers) could be placed on the seat of the toilet and act as

I think that it should automatically re-dl the avatars.dat file (if the size
is different, maybe) when you enter a world.. all to often you get suprised
by others telling you of your shanubia av when you intend to be a butch or
something.. this would especially be benifit to pb worlds-and the people who
try to cheat in them..

he was considering re-doing the entire world list system... as far as being
"fixed" you can't fix what isn't broken-when the browser was designed, it
wasn't expected for there to be that many worlds.. which is most likely why
the limit is that..

honestly when I first heard the rotate command i thought that's what it
WAS... like rotate 28 would move it to 28 degrees of it's normal positon
(rotating over the x axis since rotating over the y is already done with
page up/down) i was dissappointed when i heard it wasn't.. trying to figure
out the RPM thing is a pain in the ass to make objects get to the correct
angle.. *sigh* something else to annoy roland with..
I thought i was filtered, eep *smile* I was amazed to see you reply to me in
something other then a flame-thank you.

news:3ab3d71d at server1.Activeworlds.com...
: I can't say I'm the oldest AW Citizen in the world, I've only been
around a few months or so and have been lurking in this NG since I began.
But IRL I'm a professional software developer with a happy hobby of 3D
editing and I have some suggestions. Whether they have been said already or
not I dunno, but here's my two cents:
:
: Whoever came up with the idea that complete rotation of objects on ALL
THREE AXIS was unnecessary, or chose an engine where this was impossible,
should be hauled out and shot. Not only would the ability to rotate a
triangle/pane around significantly lower the number of objects and memory
consumption, it would make building much more fun and less frustrating. Top
of my wish list is the ability to rotate on the X axis. So what if it might
make for some weird looking trees and confusing "mask" textures, it's worth
avoiding some bizarre combinations to just rotate a pane around so that it
fits.
:
: I've already encountered a number of situations where I wanted to
change several objects at once into a single different object. Changing
land types is one of them - ever have to delete a 10X10 "empty" plot just to
change it's ground to something other than what you used to claim the
property? It's a pain in the ass. Ever want to insert a "create color"
command on several objects at once? Can't do it. Come ON, you can't tell
ME that it's all that tough to code a C/C++ FOR loop to do mass changing.
Just don't disable the property box when I select more than one object.
:
: Every last Citizen should have some space on the FTP to place some
(perhaps a limited number) custom objects and/or textures; and every last
object available in any and every world on the AW Server should be available
in AW proper. Limiting objects and commands that are clearly available
elsewhere is absolutely silly. It doesn't even speed anything up. It just
slows us builders down.
:
: Every last Citizen should have the rights to eject tourists at will.
If tourists suffer from this they can just buy the damn license.
PeaceKeepers should only have to discipline errant Citizens.
:
: There's been some pondering of communities here. I have found that
many tourists, and indeed many Citizens, never make it out of GZ. Why?
Because they like to chat, and it's hard to find other people to chat with
elsewhere. I suggest abandoning Ground Zero entirely. The startout "gate"
should change regularly, even daily, from site to site. Perhaps there can
be contests for who's land "sponsors" GZ, or we could use the winners from
some other contest, or maybe it can be random. If GZ changed every day,
newcomers and old could choose favorite places to be and "communities" could
be more readily established. Think about it.
:
: This one might be harder to implement, but would greatly improve AW:
The ability to turn off SHIFT and/or flying commands should be inherent to
each property, maybe even each sector. We should be able to wall each other
out of our own properties if we so desire. Also, I would like to see a
"Soundproofing" option. In one word: PRIVACY. Yeah, I want to chat
uninterrupted with my friends. New rules separating "public" and "private"
behavior could then be implemented. If some sort of age or rating barriers
could be made (say, a wall that is solid for minors or rating-challenged
individuals), we could even get a little more lax on "adult" content while
simultaneously defending the kids.
:
: AW Developers: If there aren't enough developers working, HIRE ME and
we'll get some things done. I could write half of these changes myself in
cute little easy-to-add-on modules if you (for some reason) can't.

there could be a harder one with shorter commands but would save cell space big time. For example, create could be removed, or
replaced by C, bump could be B, and activate could be A, then for commands like light with lots of variables you can have one letter
per variable, like brightness is b, color is c, pitch p, angle a, and so on. This would help us squeeze just a little more
creativity out of the cell space in AW.

I disagree-the built in web browser, I feel, is a great feature, about it shrinking your browser size-you don't have to keep it
open.. I use the browser quite a bit, and think it is a great resource-especailly for having friends (or you doing for friends)
critique their website.. with it alongside chat you don't have to go back and forth.. or if your having trouble navigating a
site-the chat is right beside.. not only that.. but to view someone's site you don't have to open a whole nother program-you can do

: I find these 2 problems quite annoying when trying to copy URLs.

if it was encrypted it wouldn't make any differance.. a person could still load it in their aw and aw would decrypt it.. anwho..
