Is there an easy way to reset your world terrain to 0 elevation?

Sep 15, 2002, 4:21am

Thanks, disabling it doesn't work but Xelagot works like magic. What can't
xelagot do? :-P

ack! A bit out of my price range unfortunately. :-\

It sounds wonderful and looks like it'd be very useful but at that price,
I'll ever know. :-\ I'd be very interested if there was a version with less
features that was a few hundred bucks cheaper. :-)

or check out the help at the xelagot site. It's rather helpful. :-)

Where'd it go? What's going on?

Obviously it went down. LOL, I was hoping for some more of a reason and/or
when it will be back up but thanks, that's what I needed. :-)

Are there any bots that will make randomly generated terrain for you (but so
it looks natural)?

Apr 16, 2003, 11:35pm

What the heck do I do? The elevation of the terrain is waaay too freakin'
high. AW is crashing! GRR!

Use Terragen to generate the terrain and Dem2RWX will build it for you.
(both programs are free :)

I tried to do the shire one, but I suck at photoshop and can't replace the
top right thing with anything that looks good at all. :-P

Kinda, but it's rather hilly. I was thinking more like gently rolling hills
and such.

Is the bot set so that I can use it?

If so, send it to me right away! :-D

you can help people directly without offering source code.

-Dion

[View Quote] [View Quote] Then how does not requiring open source code help?

Apr 23, 2003, 9:07pm

Could someone send me some sort of Visual C example of their bot. I learn
best from examples so erm... yeah. :-)

Thanks,

If you really want that programming experience to be helpful in making a
bot, I would suggest using Visual Basic. A lot of VB syntax is very similar
if not identical to QBasic.

$2 to make the shoes but much much more for the transportation of material
required, the research gone into creating the shoe, etc. A lot of other
things you didn't think of. But that's not the point.

Anyway, longer range bots should only be allowed by CT's or as a world
option in the features area. Certainly not something a user can just modify
whenever he wants to spam every person in the entire world

It would be a thing like ICQ and all those other messaging services where
people use it for spam and chain letters. I'm sure there's a way to make it
harder to do so, but right now I'm at a loss to find such a way...

There should be a transparency action so I can set the degree of
transparency, where on the object it starts, and in what pattern, like a
radial, or cylidnrical, etc, etc. That way you could blend things like 2
floors together that way to get a smooth change from something like grass to
sand or dirt or water on a shoreline.

Feb 18, 2002, 3:57am

Well, then I suggest it become an action now :) hehe. With a few more
options including the place where the transparency begins, in which
direction it goes, and what sort of movement it could do. You could do some
neat things with that if you made a radial transparency and allowed it to
move with commands. :-) Just add some extra things to what you mentioned to
allow it to be a regular command with activate and bump and such.

Could it be possible to run an AW server solely on an FTP server running
PHP? When something is done, the PHP script could modify the files to work
with what has been changed. It might be slower, but all you would need would
be a stupid little free server like geocities for awhile. It'd sort of be
like an object path but with the files on an FTP server. It certainly
wouldn't be as secure or fast iether, but for those who cannot host their
worlds 24/7 and want them up all the time, it could be a solution. Of
course, the current AW Client would need a little bit of tweaking and adding
to allow that sort of work since the current version lets the world server
do most of the work whereas this idea would flip the sides so the world
server would simply be a few files constantly being modified by a PHP
script. Or, with even worse performance, AW could allow a plan that would
simply make the person who changed it upload the file to the page. It
wouldn't work well at all when there were multiple builders at the same time
but for small things like a 3d homepage where it's just one guy, it could
mean a big difference. Then the people that logged in would only have to
download the propdump file from the server (which wouldn't be very big if it
were a 5x5 world) and ActiveWorlds would instantly render it all.

It wouldn't be a solution for big worlds at all, but for small private ones,
it might mean a lot.

Feb 19, 2002, 4:19pm

Ok, it was just a thought for those people who don't have the money to host
them or a computer online 24/7 to host it themselves. $100 a year can be
mighty expensive, especially if you just want a small 3D homepage (5x5) or
something.

It has to check to make sure that your cache is right by going out and
looking at the propertly log. That tells the browser if anything has changed
since the last time your cache was saved.

I don't think there's any other way they could do it except put up the cache
and then look... but that might get pretty annoying although that might be a
good idea as an option in the settings.

a surface thing where you can make the surface of an object bumpy or wavy
with different types of surfaces to choose from.

another surface type thing that makes something like ice. So that when you
are walking across it you would slip across when you stopped just as you do
while flying. Since it's already in the fly feature, it shouldn't be too
hard to add it to an object. :-)

Mar 4, 2002, 9:11pm

;-) Hehe, I think that'd be pretty neat to have. I'd spend maybe $5 on one
of them (if the printing quality was good). I could tape it to the corner of
my monitor or something :) Those are pretty cool.

Not one with good quality printing, unless they have a really expensive
printer... :-) 5000DPI sounds good to me! *drool* :-P

you peple are too serious about your builds. What are they going to be worth
once you're gone? Most likely nothing. They just take up space and annoy
others. There are a lot of people who have been on AW for 4 or 5 years
*cough*me*cougH* that are still on and their builds won't be deleted. You
can still explore those. As for your own and from people that are long
gone.. they take up space on the AWCom's servers and take up space for us to
build at and the majority of land coverage by NAC's are just that. Tons and
tons of land covered in walks that is completely useless!
