I noticed an odd thing in a world I build in (and have CT to edit
terrain) -- there were two spikes that looked exactly the same beyond
the building limit. This wasn't a browser-only error, because the
owner & I both saw the exact same thing. Using Xelagot's maximum
altitude, we reuploaded the terrain & they all flattened out to an
altitude of 100m. We then searched for these spikes in the elevdump,
found them, & reuploaded them. The spikes were gone. (and still are).

It seems the worldserver is accepting terrain data beyond the building
limit-- either this is a bug, or in 3.4 we'll be able to edit beyond
the building limit.

i believe this is being added to 3.4, is it not?

Citing the techtalk from june 7th, this is true:

"Young Shamus: the last feature in the first stage of 3.4 is the
world option to always show names, and to block all regular chat -
this is so that a bot could handle and process the chat."

If you have a dark skybox, activating a black fog helps to hide the holes that could be seen far away.

Strike, you really need to test these things before you run around screaming. I don't even see my .exe in the cache, nor does AW really download it.

Yeah, this new dialog doesn't fit in at all with the browser; it seems very oddly out of place.

Your 233MHz system isn't even close to decent anymore.

Only if you have an ancient system.

>I know of one other person in AW that has the problem I do in regards to mobility in highly animated areas. I wonder if there is anyone else that has these problems. I love new features, newer, better, versions of the software, but I have to be realistic about trying to make due with the equipment that brings it to my monitor. I'm willing to make some sacrifices, but not to the point where it hinders me from enjoying AW.

Then why don't you upgrade your system, if your current one hinders you from enjoying AW?
