video and graphics? Are they not the same thing?

Whenever doing this sort of thing, both computers should use the same
operating system. In my house, we always keep all computers at the same
operating system to prevent networking problems. :-)

I constantly notice more and more people in the beta NG that never post but
once or twice and even then the bug report is lacking big time. The people
doing beta really need to understand how programming works. They give the
stupidest things. Like they'll have a graphical error and to help you in
figuring it out they might give you their network card model number. LOL :-P
No offense to those people but they're just not worthy of beta testing :-P

What video card do you have, what version of directX do you have, and does
this happen in any other video setting?

The entire point is to force someone's avatar. LOL, if someone doesn't mind,
then you could just ask them. :-P
But I intend to use this sort of thing for Capture The Flag and if people
disable the changing avatar thing, then that's one more thing my bot has to
check for.

And as Milesteg said, it can only be changed by caretakers so it's not like
anyone irresponsible will be screwing with your avatar. Unless of course,
you go to a world owned by an irresponsible person.

Cyboria? Er... That wasn't cancelled was it?!

Cyboria's the only one that isn't a direct replica of Active Worlds. Or
worse, Active Worlds with a few missing features (to make it look like it's
a different program altogether).

Eh, that's kinda borderline. It looks a lot like AW and even the titlebar is
completely identical to AW's. I don't like it, it's created with AW in mind
and therefore makes it too much like AW.

Cyboria has basically none of those features. Cyboria is very lacking in
features right now. Which is why it's under alpha testing ;-)

*shrug* okies. :-P All ya gotta do is talk to Derek and you can alpha test
it. :-) There's not much to see and do but chat and look around the only
world that's there (Imagica). The programmers are doing a total revamp of
the program to make it all C++ and Delphi (I'm pretty sure...) and when that
version comes out, there is going to be multi-user building I think. It will
also mark the end of tha alpha testing and start the beginning of beta
testing. They've been doing it for a couple months now. It should be out
soon but I guess you'd have to talk to Derek about that. :-P

I'm really excited with Cyboria's potential. Derek seems to be very
motivated with this and has tons of great ideas that will clearly show a
line between Cyboria and Active Worlds. One of the features right now that
sets it apart from Active Worlds is the ability to jump. It's more of a low
gravity jump but it's a jump nonetheless. I think that Cyboria will have
more of a gaming audience. While the building will be rather simple, there's
lots of ideas for bots and games. One major difference that allows for
gaming is the way people move. In Active Worlds, the exact position of each
person is not a top priority. Active Worlds is more worried about keeping
everything smooth whereas Cyboria can be rather jumpy to make sure that each
person sees others at the exact position they are standing at. That means
you'll need a fast connection to play games smoothly but at the same time,
you can chat without a problem on any connection.

So Cyboria will be a fairly general type of program. It'll give much more
support than Active Worlds in game design and playing games but still give
plenty to allow for the more common worlds in Active Worlds like building
and exploring worlds.

But you are right, if the programmers don't keep themselves motivated to
work on it, it doesn't matter what their plans are. Lots of people have the
greatest ideas but never follow them up. I hope that's not the case with
Cyboria.

unfortunately the authorities can be a son of a **** and make your life a

crap. It's unfair to the innocent ones to have to endure that.

I just formatted my computer and forgot to save my e-mails. I assume that
the e-mails are kept on the pop3 e-mail server I use so how do I synchronize
my Inbox with those?

-Dion

Aug 6, 2002, 10:15pm

Alright, I made a boo-boo. I hadn't had that option that Anduin explained
enabled because I didn't know it existed. All my e-mails are poof, but I
have a chance of getting them back if by some stroke of luck, nothing I
installed overwrote them since I did a simple reformat without completely
removing the files from my HDD. I'm looking for a program that will search
my HDD for the files but am having a bit of a problem finding something.
Does anyone know where I can find one?

[View Quote]

Aug 6, 2002, 10:52pm

I reformatted so unfortunately it's not as easy as that. The files I am
looking for have been deleted as far as Windows is concerned.

I don't think DOS knows any files in actualy characters, they're all by
index numbers or some load of crap. LOL. I am using a program now that has
recovered a lot of crap, I'm in the process of looking for the file though
and it seems that there's a LOT of *.eml files.

Ok. A lot of work, agony, and 7 hours later, I have managed to retrieve my
dbx files that hold all of my e-mail messages within them. I tried to simply
replace the ones I had now (currently empty) with them and OE simply
recreated them as 'Inbox (1).dbx' and such. Does anyone have any idea how
the heck you're supposed to import dbx files?

[View Quote]

Aug 7, 2002, 3:39pm

but it doesn't support the DBX format.

[View Quote]

Aug 7, 2002, 6:38pm

Yep, I just right-clicked inbox and clicked properties and it told me. I
suppose my DBX files are corrupt then? :-\ The error says they aren't DBX
files or another application is using them. :-(

Aug 7, 2002, 7:43pm

yeah, it gives me the same error :-(
