I don't know why you are all giving The Lady such a hard time. She ahs
always been nice and pleasant with me. But then this is the same old NG
crap that has gone on ever since I've been in AW. Only the names have
changed (somewhat).

That's a lot of hooey. It just makes it harder to get problems fixed. I
had to badger Roland at times to get him to come look at some Av problems
back in 3.0 and 3.1 and when he finally did come he was able to track down
the problem and get it fixed in the next upgrade. AWI and the current
programmers just want to stick to a little "clique" of people to work on the
beta's and that's why it has taken so long and been so many problems to fix
and IMO a big part of the reason Roland left. It's just like the terrible
problems that exist with transparencies now. They used to work better back
in AW 2.2 and 3.0. But particularly since 3.2 multiple transparencies are
much worse and if you aren't on the "beta team" no ones wants to listen.
Well I don't want to be on the beta team. I just want to tell someone at
AWI about the problems I see since I am a modeler and have some insight to
some of the problems from observation in Truespace vs the AWB.
Andras and I just had a few discussions about the transparency problems and
he was going to talk to the programmers about what we saw. he is more of
an insider so maybe he will have some luck. I gave up sometime back trying
to get my opinions heard. I'm about at the point that it can stay broke for
all I care.

Geez it's your software and you don't have to sell him a cit and he has to
pay by credit card or check so you have personal info so why don't you
cancel his account(s) and not sell him any more?
There is no law that says you have to sell a cit to anyone who wants one.

Just a note for everyone.
If anyone ever gets and email from mpbarrow at yahoo.com it is a fake and
you should report it to AWI with all the header info so they can track who
it came from. I have my Outlook Express set to use that yahoo email
address in my news post so that any spam anyone may decide to send me will
be sent to my yahoo account and not my real ISP accounts.
I NEVER use my yahoo email account to send email from except for one Hammond
Organ news group that I subscribe to.

It has nothing to do with viruses Andras. Shankahtus got a flame email that
said it was from my yahoo email and it was faked from someone who uses the
AW newsgroups (since this is the only place my yahoo email would show up
when I do a NG post/reply) and who is in Spain as the headers indicated.
So it is someone here faking emails again and thus should be reported to
AWI.

AWI does have jurisdiction if someone here in the news groups is faking
emails using other posters email addresses in the Return header to send fake
emails. After all, they are stealing the email addresses from this news
group which belongs to AWI and I think falls into the category as M A T T
stealing passwords and models.

This goes exactly to the post I made about someone sending fake emails using
my yahoo email address as being the sender. I only this yahoo email
address here in the newsgroups so as to avoid getting spam in my ISP email
accounts and I never send email from yahoo with about 2 exceptions.

I got the ecard in my yahoo email too and the only way someone from AW
could get my yahoo email is to have gotten the address from my post here.
So we still have someone in the new groups sending fake and fraudulent
emails, probably to email addresses they got here, to the rest of you who
post here.

It probably doesn't help but the return email on the card I got in my yahoo
email was from

Probably a virus. I've been getting a ton of these in my yahoo email,
returned email etc etc with an attachment file size of 24k. I just delete
them everyday. I think Andras explained it somewhere in here.

Telegram from Diane, sent 47 minutes ago:
Daphne passed away tonight about 5:30 ;o( I know she counted you as one of
her dearest friends. She was still weak from her surgery last year, and
Sunday she and her husband went shopping, she insisted on taking the cart
back, ran into a guard rail with it, and when it flipped her forward, broke
a rib. The rib punctured her lung lining. she thought she was having heart
trouble, so she had Howard take her to the hospital. It was all downhill
from there. I'm still in tears here, don't know what else to say. AW has
been her life for alot of years, it won't be quite the same without her
here. Muir Funeral Home in Lapeer, Mich probably Friday or Saturday
services. Daphne Coon

Diane said she requested to be wearing an aw t-shirt for burial.

I've lost a dear friend and AW has lost a valuable citizen :((((

Has anyone lese had problems with your contact list vanishing when you are
in a heavy download world? and to get it back you have to (1) (more or
less) wait for the downloads to end and for the Contact List to Refresh
(like the world list does periodically), or (2) bounce to another world
which will usually case the contact list to restore, or (3) close and
restart AW.
And once it is back and you go back to finish reload that or another world
(if you didn't wait for it to finish) do you perhaps have it vanish again?

I think ever since version 3.4 and later I've had this happen. The World
List is still there but just the Contact List disappears until I do one of
the 3 steps above. And it doesn't really matter which world it happens in.
It not related to the World Server. I get no waiting for server or
anything and if there is anyone in the world when this happens I still see
them and can talk to them and the objects and textures continue to download
and I can move to other areas in the world and those areas will continue to
download. Just no contact list until I take one of the above 3 actions.
I don't think it's a connection problem on my end because a year ago I had
Charter Pipeline with 1m/128k and later they increased the speed to 2m/128k
and just recently again to 3m/256k and I've had the problem during all 3
speed services. Also if I run the speakeasy bandwidth test on any of their
site around the US I get a consistent 2.2 - 2.5meg download speed and about
239k up. And if I do Tweak Test on DSL Reports web site I get no problem
issues there.

If I do trace routes to auth.activeworlds.com however I do get some response
times ranging from about 40 to 400+ ms at times on the 1st couple of hops
just prior to the AW auth server hop and an occasional packet loss or
timeout on a few of the vario.net hops just before those that are in
between me, Charter, and Broadwing (charter backbone here).

If anyone else is having this problem please post it or email
support at activeworlds.com so they can maybe try to look into the cause. I
kinda think maybe it's routing issues maybe with vario.net or maybe the
sometimes high response times on the ISP AWI is using just prior to the auth
server hop.

Paul

those high response times are not on my end they are close to AWI's end.

take out the Lit in the Texturemodes command in the rwx or if you are using
Truespace instead of using Phong shading use Flat instead which will cause
no Lit command when you convert the cob to rwx.

The command you want is Translate, Bit. it's listed in the AW Help file in
the RWX commands.
Depending on how the object is constructed (in the rwx) can be tricky using
it.
if it's a COB converted to RWX then you could put the Translate in the
ClumpBegin section at the end of the file on a live after the Rotate
commands.
In general you want it in the Top Clump so it affects all child Clumps.
Sometimes you might have to put a new ClumpBegin / End around the whole of
the original with the Translate there so that it affects the whole thing.

The next time you get the waiting for server try opening IE and try to go
to www.activeworlds.com and see if you can bring up their web page. If you
can't then there is an internet problem somewhere between your ISP and
AWI's computers.
If you or someone you know where you live knows how to use MSDos prompt (or
Command) then you can try these commands:
ping auth.activeworlds.com
and
tracert auth.activeworlds.com

you should not see any timeouts. if there are any timouts tracert will
show you where along the path they are if they are in the 1st 2 - 4
hops then the problem is most likely your ISP if they are in the
later hops colse to the AW site then it's either the internet of AW's sites.

If you got custom avatars at anything close to $10 then you got a deal.
I sure wouldn't sell you an avatar for $10 as hard as they are to make and
an avatar for you to have exclusive usage right to would cost you a lot more
than $10.
If Pyro made you more than one or 2 avatars then 4 months is not necessarily
a long time to take to make them depending on what other projects may have
been in the works.
Of course I work a little differently that some modelers in that I don't
charge or accept payment until the work is completed and the models have
been seen. That way if for some reason it takes longer - well that's life
and you don't have to buy them.
