There's also a related great feature of human brain, which is the ability to act so as not to get ejected from the world you want to
visit. Then you can go there anytime you wish without using the standalone browser. Not sure all versions are equipped with this
feature though.

Well sorry then... I thought you pissed someone off and complained about getting ejected...
I wasn't in a good mood when I wrote that :o)
Sorry.

I agree with you nornny :)
I guess marcus is just trying to find reasons to hassle AW :)

marcus... if they have stated in an email to you that you could have a 20$ discount when not wanting the extra citizenship, or
something... then show the email to the NG... if not, sorry but you're TOTALLY wrong. AW has no obligation to do what you think they
should do, when they didn't clearly state they would, neither in their site, nor in e-mail.

Hi all ! It's been a long time i haven't read / posted here, i've been too
busy lately
Anyway I just wanted to say that i had grown tired of having to go to AW
each time i want to test a rwx object, so i started writing a quick rwx
viewer in opengl yesterday... it already reads quite a few rwx, so it
shouldnt take too long to complete, a few days probably...
I'll distribute the C++ source too if anyone is interested.

RWX scripting is well documented on the web (thanks a lot eep, andras,
whoever made the AW help file and probably others i'm forgetting, your pages
were really helpful to get info on all the rwx commands), but there remains
a few obscure points that i hope some of you object building specialists
(which i'm not) could maybe explain :)

- how do joints work? i mean, what does the joint transformation matrix
affect? i haven't found any info about that. RotateJoint,
JointTransformBegin and JointTransformEnd are neither stated in the list of
supported RWX Commands nor unsupported commands in the AW help files... are
they supported ? Is this what's used to put together avatar's clumps?
- does vertex numbering restart to 1 at the beginning of each clump or are
the vertex numbers global to an object ?
- does AW support the normal optional argument to the vertex command?
- does the RandomUVs command take an On/Off parameter?
- do OpacityFix and RandomUVs commands affect the whole object or just part
of it?
- does the Polygon RWX command support only convex polygons, or any polygon?
- does AW support the RGB versions of Ambient and Diffuse commands?
- How do you do axis alignment in opengl? lol

Thanks, i hope that's not too much questions... lol... if you know the
answer to at least one of these questions or can point me to a website where
there are details about them, please answer this thread :)

I was talking about the Normal optional argument of Vertex... like in :
Vertex 0 1 3 Normal 1 0 0 UV 1 0 #!Prelight 0.2 0.5 0.8
(not something i have seen in an object, i just invented this line... it's documented in the RW2.1 docs but nothing about it in the
AW3.2 help files)

You can now download the first public beta of my RWXViewer... As its name states, it's a beta, and all is not implemented yet.
But you can try it out and drop me an email to tell me what works or doesn't, what features you'd like to see, etc...
Note that the primitives (Cube, Sphere, etc... ) are not yet implemented, and that avatars don't work yet either.
Unzipping is not yet supported either, and you have to do some simple steps at hand since there is no installer for now...
You need a 3d graphics accelerator with OpenGL support, no software or Direct3D mode !

If you still want to try it after all these warnings, follow the link : http://fox.d2g.com/ :)
The link is, well, somewhere in the page... lol... It's a beta so it's not like I want everyone to download it and receive thousands
of bug reports in my email :P
I'll be glad to receive some, though. Be sure to include information about your hardware and software If you do report a bug.

Fox Mc Cloud

Oct 24, 2001, 2:37pm

What do you mean? the program runs well for me, so I do this so other people can try if it works for *them* too, that's beta testing
isn't it ? :)
I've already had a few friends test it and they had no problem

Oct 24, 2001, 2:51pm

lol... From the answer of swe and re-reading that mail, I guess it sounds quite negative... only talking about what's not
supported... lol
that was not to disappoint you if you find out your objects don't work or the program doesn't run for you :)
But it DOES load and display nearly all objects fine with texturing, transparency, lighting, masking, prelighting, optional AW-like
parameters to make it look like it's in your AW world (ambient and directional lights, fog, backdrop and ground...), etc...

Try it ! :)

By the way, a friend of mine tells me the program doesn't run on his Voodoo3... anyone can confirm this or maybe it comes from an
other problem? Does voodoo3 run fine on AW3.2 OpenGL mode?

It was built to take advantage of Glide, 3dfx's proprietary API :)

By the way, anyone has had trouble or success using the program? not much feedback yet even though 32 ppl downloaded it :)
If you got trouble with it it would be nice to contact me via ICQ (#13371469) so we can talk faster and I can fix the problem...

Ok, well, here's what I think. We don't know.
I think this area of justice is still nearly unprepared for what we have to face with today's means of communication. The people who
make the laws are grumpy old men that don't change as fast as the world does.
And your constitution is SOO old... (time to change it, is it? :P) do you really think George Washington thought of cases where you
were in another country while being "connected" to another, even though you physically have nothing to do with that other country ?
Even though some laws are being made, there are still many many things possible on the net that they don't cover, so that kind of
things will most of the time be up to the judge to decide who is right, I guess.

Oh, and I don't have a masters and don't know anything about laws, I just think that makes sense ;)
