Thats sounds like something you could call AWMod for Half Life (LOL) Thats a
sweet idea. You'd need to get yourself a basic half-life type server to run
it on (only better because everyone will be downloading stuff from it all
the time) so you'd probably need like twin P3s with 1GB RAM and a T1 :P
anyways sounds cool.

Well I guess his point is to have a program that edits AW's "code" if you
will do log it encrypted so nobody can edit it and possibly to another
format of file. Why? So poor PKs that are clueless on the real problem don't
get arguements with people saying "he/she edited his/her chat logs!"

How about fade controls as commands in themselves? I'm talking about
something like how you can enter a building have have the music fade in and
stay loud until you hit the fade out trigger, and the noises from outside
would fade out too.

Heres something like what I'm thinking about: create fadeout (makes
everything fade out) create fadeout name=spk (makes the sounds from object
spk fade out). bump fadein name=spk, fadeout name=odn (when the object is
bumped, the noise from object spk will fade in to full volume in 1 second,
and the sounds from object odn will fade out in 1 second)

Possible extra variables:
"time=" - Designates how long it takes
"vol=" - Designates the volume to fade in to or fade out to (so you can make
music fade without it being gone)

Maybe an addon to consider (i'm no programmer, yet) would be making the
program get into your BIOS and disable shutting down the computer itself if
you really don't want anyone to be able to shut down the world, then of
course you'd probably have to deal with antivirus programs and BIOS Guardian
preventing that. Or actually...this is a more extreme way but it sorda works
pretty well I guess, if all the machine running the world is used for is
running the world and you can only shut down the server from the tray, edit
your system.ini file and where it says "shell=explorer.exe" just change it
to whatever the the path is to the world server program (I beleive you make
all filenames over 8 chars end in ~1 and don't use backslashes between
folders). Then if you want to use the computer you just boot to DOS and open
the file in edit and change the shell back to explorer. Thats what I do when
I want to defrag this thing :-D.

Yeah...plus they're only like >1k pictures, like 50x50...so it doesn't add
too many crucial KB of downloading for those of you with ISPs that charge by
the MB.

Yeah I use cable too...its a little more erratic but they're the only one up
where I live. No DSL yet either (which we may switch to if it comes out...or
maybe T1 if we come across a lot of money ^_^). Normally I can get a good
300kbps to 800kbps downloading, and its a flat rate too. Plus email accounts
are apparently free and unlimited.

I normally never use my integrated web window...it makes the AW display too
small for my 800x600 resolution (if I can get a bigger monitor then maybe I
can go to 1280x760 or whatever it is). I don't mind a feature to notify me
of when I have email (better yet add in a filter system so I don't get
notified if I get spammed), but I also wouldn't TRUST my AW browser holding
the password and username for my email

Dec 13, 2001, 5:44pm

Thats easy enough to do...just set your shell as AW in system.ini and then
have AW put in an offline thing....oh even better! Make the chat menu also
do commands like "run" and "open" so if i have some program or file not in
my desktop I can just do "/run c:\program files\O_O\O_O.exe" or something...

Hmm...we should all approach AW about this...maybe make it linux-based but
have it support everything for windows...that would be like...the perfect OS
^_^ and then you could also shut off the view window while using
3d-intensive games and stuff so its like a regular desktop....good idea that

Actually no, my VRT clock normally differs from my computer's clock, because
normally when my comp is 4 minutes behind the VRT clock is where it should
be. The only reason we don't see the 100% same VRT is that lag and your ISP
speed can affect how long it takes for the server to send you the time. That
and like most computers...some people have computers that are just plain
screwed up.
[View Quote]

Dec 9, 2001, 4:00pm

Minutes are faster and slowed from your BIOS clock, some are crappy and a
second is a little faster than a second should be so that throws off the VRT
time. I'm gonna write to MSI and ask them to include a quartz timing
mechanism on their KT266 Pro2 mobo...that way I can get athlon power and a
reliable clock at the same time ^_^

I've heard that Ogg Vorbis is a nice format for compressed audio...I've
never used it but if an Ogg file is smaller than an MP3 with the same or
better quality...then I think AW could use support so broadbanders like me
can put up larger audio files that would still be smaller enough (hopefully)
so some dial-up users can still download them. Of course, there would be a
seperate setting to turn on and off downloading these files (while we're at
it, seperate MP3 from WAV). Also, I think an ogg vorbis could be used in AW
from a tripod server (MP3s there have one of those download pages to
somewhat-prevent using them in AW).

Also, another thing that would be cool is to have something like a more
user-controlled Winamp AVS-type thing. Maybe AW could work out some deal
with Nullsoft to put in AVS support, and then users could put a code into a
picture object like "create avs http://www.domain.com/folder/file.avs" and
then when the user sees that object the .avs gets thrown into thier cache
(and there would be an option to keep the .avs presets on your computer) and
then they can watch the AVS on a TV and we can get real moving,
sound-reacting pictures in AW.

No.....invalid page faults are caused by anything...it could be a bad line
of code conflicting with something else that's running....but maybe it could
be one of those dial-up settings kah was talking about.

Exactly, they could always try to make a couple cuts at the office (the web
design artists maybe? Meh who needs web design artists...just take
screenshots of AW and impress people with that....no premium toilet
paper....start buying Folgers in bulk to save money over single
cans...recycle paper....write on napkins...steal napkins from Dunkin Donuts,
etc.)
and advertise a little. I mean, if they prices were reasonable I could
probably tell some of my friends around here and they could sign up for AW,
and if they like it they would tell their friends, and so on, and AW would
get more citizenships.

I wouldn't mind paying $10 for every 3 months or $30-$40 a year, its just
$120 is a lot. Even though the GKs are trying to tell everyone to keep cool
and they AWC still will charge $20 for those who renew, I'm just mad because
of what the new potential citizens will think. Maybe they should advertise
by the minute...I beleive its "Only .00021 cents a minute!"
Well hey, that does make it look good :P

So I guess we should be writing letters to those folks, shouldn't we? The
light limit is frustrating to me, since I either have to sacrifice
performance and some graphics glitches in OpenGL mode or go in a light-less
AW that otherwise looks good in DirectX mode...and my system can handle way
more than 8 lights :/

It would be nice if there was a program that you could load a propdump into
(like a Canopus Blueprint of Xelagot file) and then have it build the
propdump offline and convert it into one object. And of course added
features like moving and deleting vertices would be handy.
