eep pre-beta source in basic

Dec 21, 2000, 12:25am

Though really IMHO if that was supposed to be more like eep instead of
getting stupider it would cuss and lash out at the user a lot more as you
converse with it.

I think thats a cool idea. Though since I'm co-staff in SW City with Comit I
probably gotta say that or else he'd like surround my little subcommunity or
something (sadistic him :P), but really I do like the idea of connecting the
towns, I think it makes AW seem a lot more realistic. (and really, highways
also serve as spawning grounds for little settlements, like Hickville [the
little 4 person community that Syntax and I started]).

Did the duct tape go undone again?

Dec 30, 2000, 2:23am

No no no, you're all wrong. Enzo guzzled a bottle of bubbli in the
pre-new-year's party and stumbled in the server room with a few six packs.
After getting Roland and the rest of the technicians drunk he thought the
server was a lady who wanted a drink so he poured beer down the fan hole in
the power supply.

Either that or this was "another bribe from juno" but I like the above idea
better :)

Pfft...they don't have space on the server for 10GB? 4 words: buy a hard

of AWCOM's $540,000 income from cits

Me? I can't remember exactly, I think I was browsing the AWCOM site and was

3.1 REAd THIS

Jan 11, 2001, 11:40pm

adapt 3.1 so it works without acceleration? That would be tough but until
then theres the closest thing to it: 2.2 Build 305.

3.1 Info..

Jan 9, 2001, 12:38am

Ergh I'm just waiting for 3.1 to come out for public beta...and *goes into
self-centered mode* I'm suprised they didn't pick me *raises chin* to
beta-test 3.1 (ok enough of that). Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait
another month to see if that one light post I made actually works (at least
by then the network card on my new comp will work so I can have hardware
that is capable of seeing it).

Would Alphaworld ever wipe?

Jan 9, 2001, 12:29am

LOL though really I did some calculations and AWCOM makes over $540,000 from
citizenships alone, so add in the world costs and that would put them at
probably $600,000. But really when you think of it most of AW's cits build
in AW so AW is really what the company is riding on. And I also found that
AWCOM doesn't loose a lot of money when AW is down (only has to be 10 bucks
at most an hour).

True, true. I didn't think about that. But anyways like I said I believe =
that most of AW's profits ride on citizens being able to build in AW so =
AW is the backbone world (or at least one of the backbone worlds if more =
than one) of AWCOM.

"Restricted Commands"

Jan 14, 2001, 11:31pm

Yeah but in AW all the really big objects are z (except for the balloon) or
are centered and will basically spin in place. I think that AW should find
some way to kinda (excuse any wrong words, not a programmer) pre-load the
rotate so that if the object encroaches then the command is blocked and the
object is reset to its previous state (like if you move it into someone
else's property, it snaps back).

"Restricted Commands"

Jan 14, 2001, 11:33pm

Not only AW has lots of shit in it, mars and meta are full of big areas of
claimed land, wildaw has claimed empty lots, and there are many worlds who
are owned by people who can't build at all (or at least not very well). And
AW does have a LOT of "good stuff" too, and many towns to visit so I guess
that makes up for not going to other worlds and having to d/l them only to
find out that they're bad.

a solution to encroachment?

Feb 1, 2001, 12:28am

I say that we should have a trial run of rotate in AW. If it's abused, its
out the door until AWCOM finds a way to have it "detect" wether it will
encroach. And theres not much damage you can really do with rotate unless
you don't cover some land. But anyways AWCOM reccomends that you do that
anyways. And besides if someone throws some balloons into your house then go
build another somewhere else. And most towns anyways are pretty well covered
so its tough to have someone spin a pole through your walls or something.

Gamers Beware! NEOCRON!

O...k...

how incompetent can AWCI get? god damn...

Feb 7, 2001, 12:43am

OK so according to you if your ISP decided to mess up on you, you could call
yourself incompetent. If you want AW to change at least stop flaming them,
or seeing that you like the negative approach go buy a gun and take them
hostage. THEN maybe they'd listen. And we know AW has to do a lot of things
so you can just shut up about them.

The hardest thing would be getting the light command parameters in order,
there's so many :\

Bah get a trackball if anything. I have this nice one from logitech, I
beleive its opitical. Very comfy and it has a scroll wheel. And besides,
trackballs are better on your wrist. It's only about $30.

Oh the complexities!

Feb 12, 2001, 9:00pm

It seems every day the NG gets a step more complex. First there's eep and
his constant whining about how "Roland is incompetent" (by comparing AW to
games who's producers spent millions on a TEAM of programmers) and then this
whole issue on IA and his gay rights thing (nothing against gays with me)
and editing the chat logs to add to the "evidence." What's next? Making
conspiracy theories about AW's staff? :\

You make it sound like AW is the cause of all your woes, when it could be
your system.

It could be your sound card.

Yeah right, to me the 3.0 and before midis sound crappy when synthed, now
they actually have a more realisitic tone. Maybe the midis you tried it with
weren't synthesized with this use in mind. Or once again it may be your
sound card. BTW there never was any bass with the synthed midis either.

I agree with you there, I want rotate as it doesn't vandalize much but move
is too much.

WildAW allows special commands, well they did during the beta.

Could be your speakers or sound card. I've got a set of 5 watts with a 15
watt subwoofer and AW sounds incredible (and there IS bass). Or maybe just
you don't have DirectSound (which I beleive AW now loads midis with).

3.1 Complaints sigh

Feb 14, 2001, 7:18pm

same with me, I ran 3.0 on a 2MB Rage Fury (oooh I could feel its power!)
and was lucky to get 20fps, then on 3.1 I averaged 20fps or more. Of course,
now that I upgraded I can get an average of 40-60fps ^_^

3.1 Complaints sigh

Feb 14, 2001, 7:20pm

Augh you voice your opinion, thus allowing us to voice ours and then when
you find out that some people disagree you lash out at them and start
cussing, chill.
