Let me say what I think about DirectX :P
Since I installed DirectX 8.1 nearly every time I start a game or anything that uses 3D, I have to REBOOT before I can use anything
Direct3D again, or the card refuses to work ! All the while, whatever happens I can still use OpenGL mode even if DX doesn't work.
OpenGL is the past and the future, DirectX was a bad dream inbetween :P

Does anyone else have the same problem with DirectX? it's really annoying.

(My card is a Geforce3)

It's very unlikely to be a hardware problem if it only happens in OpenGL and not Direct3D...

There was a website where all versions of AW were available for download, if I remember well... I don't remember the URL however..
Does that ring a bell to anyone? The splash screens can be taken from each version after installing them...
It would be nice if you made them all available on a little page when you get them, can be interesting :)

So you can't host things under linux? lol

Well I know your problem, I have it too... AW being the main one... And the lack of a good multi-IM program like Trillian too...
still you should dual-boot to linux sometimes, it's refreshing :)

I totally agree with you, grimble, petitions or bugging roland until we get the new features we want just isn't the way to go...

I have the privileges of the root account in the universe I'm in most of the time (which is why you won't see me around a lot in AW)
so I have a lot of power and can create what I want in there, and I also program bots. This all gives me a LOT of ideas of new
features and improvements that I even haven't talked about in here because it would just add to the ambient noise...
I can understand Roland (and the others) put a lot of time into programming AW and listening to users. Well, although programming is
his job, he could do without reading the posts in here. If he even IS reading the posts in this newsgroup, it IS because he does
want to know what we want and try to give us the best he can. The TechTalks are another example of this...
If AW didn't want to communicate or listen to their community, they just wouldn't have opened these newsgroups.
What I think is that they're trying to listen to us, and are only rewarded with people telling them they aren't doing their job
correctly... I respect Roland a lot, although I don't know him, and particularly because he has the patience to read and respond to
some posts in here that I would clearly just have deleted without bothering if I were him...
Plus, I know that as a programmer I want my work to be appreciated by users, and I really don't appreciate harmful comments like
some people tend to like to post in this NG... they're in no way constructive and would result in me thinking I will never implement
this feature if it's asked for that way...

Anyway I don't think this post will make anything advance (although I hope so), but I wanted to say what I had to say...

By the way (i know it's past now, but just to know...), how were the people
allowed to the closed beta chosen?
was there any way to apply or did roland just pick the ones he wanted?
And do you know if there will be more people allowed in before the final
release?

Anyway, it seems to me impossible to do...

right, the server could check when you put a move/rotate command in an
object, that it won't encroach other objects when moving/rotating... that
would time quite a lot of time from the server though, because it would have
to check for a lot of rotation angles etc... but maybe it's possible...

The real problem comes from the fact that, once an object with a move
command has been placed, and there is no other objet in its trajectory,
nothing ensures someone isn't going to put an object in that place
(somewhere on the trajectory) afterwards.
the server couldn't check, every time an object is added, for every other
object if it has a rotate/move command, and if it does, if any of its
angles/steps encroaches with the object to add, before telling to the client
wether the added object is encroaching or not... that would be insane, and
absolutely impossible to do. that's probably why roland doesn't do it (i
haven't heard him say it, but it seems logical)

right, but you don't realize how much memory that would take up to
permanently store on the server... it would be really huge.wether you do it
like you said or like i said (and there must be other possibilities), i
don't think there's a reasonable solution.

mmh... I don't know if that's possible... maybe it would be worth talking to

I wasn't questioning your judgement, I was surprised because I didn't
understand why you said that...
Isn't to scramble just the fact of putting the letters in a random order?
(i'm not an english speaker, sorry)

if it's the case you could do it that way...

void Scramble(char *Word)
{
int posTable[256]; //256 being the Word's max size in that
case
int Length=strlen(Word);
int iMin, iMinPos;
char newWord[256];

srand((unsigned int)time(NULL));
for(int i=0; i<Length; i++)
posTable[i]=rand( ); //returns a random int between 0 and 65535
for(int i=0; i<Length; i++)
{
iMin=65536; //assuming we're in a 32 bit environment
for(int j=0; j<Length; j++)
if(iMin<posTable[j]&&posTable[j] != -1)
{
iMin=posTable[j]
iMinPos=j;
}
newWord[i]=Word[iMinPos];
posTable[iMinPos]= -1;
}
strcpy(Word, newWord);
}

then you could type
Scramble("This");
;o)
of course it's C code but it wouldn't be much harder in VB i guess, i wrote
that in 10 minutes...

yeah it sure is possible, but anyway it wouldn't take much time when used with the kind of words you'd normally use in that kind of
game... there would also be ways of doing it recursively, that would be faster, but maybe less efficient in terms of how well the
letters are scrambled...
for example :

void Scramble(char *Word)
{
if(strlen(Word)==1) return; //to stop the recursion

char Word1[256];
char Word2[256];
char Temp;
int iPos;

//exchange the 1st and last letters
Temp=Word[0];
Word[0]=Word[strlen(Word)-1];
Word[strlen(Word)-1]=Temp;

//cut it at a random position into 2 parts
iPos = rand()%(strlen(Word)-1); //random int between 0 and length-1
memcpy(Word1, Word, iPos);
memcpy(Word2, (Word+iPos+1), strlen(Word)-iPos);
Scramble(Word1);
Scramble(Word2);

//now put it back either in normal or reverse order
if(rand()%2)
{
strcpy(Word, Word1);
strcat(Word, Word2);
}
else
{
strcpy(Word, Word2);
strcat(Word, Word1);
}
}

mmh... don't know how efficient that would be but it should be fast i guess... O(n*log(n)) or something... besides, i find it
easier to understand.
but if you can see a simpler way of doing it fast, be sure to let me know ;o)

3.1 can enter 3.0 worlds, but it can't enter 3.0 universes... :o(
(I know that because the universe I'm usually in, cyberbrain, has not yet updated to the latest version - they're waiting for AW
support to send them the latest server version, and it seems to take weeks for them to do that... anyway... - and I can't enter it
with 3.1 for now)

But Tony is right, 3.0 could enter 2.2 universes until a certain build, which makes me wonder if it was really necessary to check
for the latest version of the uniserver, or if it was just that Roland wanted to force people to upgrade their uniservers faster...

It's really simple :
open aworld.ini

find :
[universe]
host=www.thehost.com
port=5670

then just replace those lines with the host / port of the universe you're looking for, or add those lines somewhere in the file if
they aren't there. You can omit the port parameter if it's the default port (5670)
for AW you can just omit those lines (or comment them out by putting a ' ; ' character in front of them)
for the cyberbrain french universe, for instance, it would read
[universe]
host=www.cyberbrain.com
port=5670

That's right... by the way, I wonder why roland wouldn't simply leave the contacts alone if they don't exist instead of deleting
them.... :o(

Be careful if you do it like this - you will loose your contact list
entries if you are citizen in both.

The browser removes all entries (by number) that don't exist in the
universe. So make sure you save it and copy the one in place that
belongs to the universe.

I made a program that does that, save the contact list and change the
INI entries : User, password (if it's saved), home location, host and
port. It's on http://oct31.de/aw/awstart

Win2k with a 5.1GB hdd? I'm sure you don't have a lot of space left, it's a good thing to have at least about 300MB free at any
given time... otherwise you'll probably experience big slowdowns... Moreover, i guess it's a little old and not as fast as new
drives... so I suggest you first buy a new hard disk...
An IBM Deskstar 7200 30GB or something would do... (I have a deskstar 45GB and it's really good)

To increase your performance, as datedman said, you can set min & max virtual memory to the same value so the file doesn't get
fragmented... I'd also suggest you ran Norton SpeedDisk after that and tell it to defrag & move the pagefile at the beginning of the
disk, so it's accessed faster... (the 30 day demo can be downloaded from Norton's site, and since it must be done only once.......
:o) )
But that won't help much if you don't buy a new disk first...

I know that it's enough for just win2k... but I'm sure taht when you have AW, truespace and probably a lot more programs there
mustn't be a lot of place left...
I'm having trouble keeping my free space over 1GB on my 46GB... so... :o) Anyway it was just a guess.

AW 3.0 and AW 3.1 both run on RW 3.0 which supports negative lighting.
AW 3.2 will run on RW 3.1 which doesn't.
eep... not everyone knows that and it's not documented, you could have told him :P

Well the page says : "Welcome to the Concept's AW Tools homepage." and the background repeats "Concept AW Tools" a million times,
and I can't see a single occurance of "Concept Toolz".

A good idea would be to be able to put certain strings in the message that would be replaced by the browser when displaying the
message... for example :
%N = user name
%W = world name
and there could be others...
so you could write a message saying "Welcome to %W, %N" and the browser would display the world & name properly

(crossposting this to wishlist)
