Append it into a string, find "color ..." and remove everything until the next comma,
semicolon, etc. Since I'm fairly certain you use VB I don't know how you would set
all that up.

You've got a point. You'd have to have a query of the whole area then compare it
when someone changes it.

Happens in all modes, there's something with the way it renders. Would be nice for
density (tabular) fog in addition to the normal fog.

That wouldn't be how it works. I can try to explain it, but I may muddy it up. I
could give you a basic gist if you really wanted it.

> If you would..

Well this would basically be a Client side thing. The server would just have to be
tampered with a tad to make it send the new event (like "create grab" or something
silimar). While the user is on that object, anytime the object is moved (while
they're on it) they'd move with it. Of course this could cause some issues with the
way the system is set up now. Basically all commands (activate, bump, etc) would now
need to be events that are sent and recieved.

All this would be done by the browser and thus it wouldn't rely too much on the
server other than getting information on the location of the object (hopefully). I'm
not sure if I did that well enough, but it should be close.

[View Quote] That is not how it works. It's strictly browser side. In order for EVERYONE to see
it when you click on something that says "activate move" it would have to be server
side (aka you click, browser sends click message to server, server reads the action
field and sends the action to everyone in the vicinity). That's the only way it
could happen, as I see it.

Sep 16, 2002, 5:28pm

[View Quote] That's basically the same thing as what I said. The browser does recieve the events
the same way bots do, so I assume. :)

[View Quote] I'm sure glad you think a lot of the people who don't know how to program are fools.
No, that is not the case. Programmers tend to spout of what *they* think should be
done and added. When you're beta testing this get's rather annoying because they're
looking at styling and other such things rather than the actual problematic bugs.
This is basically what eep did (looked at styling instead of the actual problems).
Hey; BinaryBud, Andras, Xelag, myself (probably missed a couple more) are all
programmers, what more do you need? ;) Or is it an attempt to automagically place
yourself on the beta? :P

100% of current browsers recognize that without the quotes. Current means after
1998. You really should upgrade if you're not on one that's current. Even NS4 does,
and it doesn't like much IE pseudo code.

Hmm... hacking up the world server quite a bit would be able to do that? I don't
know it just seems so plausable to do right now (not on a real basis) as long as you
have the same world in both universes? Just send events between the world servers?

A better thing would be a mapable keyboard layout... come on it's not that hard.

> It would actually be far from easy. You would first have to rewrite the entire
input system so that pressing a key didn't directly do something, but performed an
action based on the keymap. Then you would have to add a new section to aworld.ini
(or some other location) which defined what each key did.

Far from easy, right, you being the expert on all that's right in this world. How
would you know exactly how it's set up? Maybe it IS set up so that certain variables
are assigned to certain keys. All they would need to do is ta

> Of course all of this would require changes to *all* of the documentation that made
reference to specific keys. You can't tell people that if they press "END" they will
switch to third-person view anymore unless you know they haven't changed that part of
their layout.

Have you ever played a video game in your life? Most will say "The default layout of
the keys, END will switch you into third person." A few word changes here and there
hardly would mean "all" of the document.

> You would also need to add a new dialog (and document it in help) for changing and
managing the keyboard layouts.

That is where all of the others can come in handy.

> Anyway, it's a lot more difficult to add than you seem to think. Just because
you've "seen a whole bunch on the web for people to use" doesn't mean that it would
be trivial to add them to a commercial product.

Actually, last I checked the browser was free. The citizenship would be the
commercial product.

Pardon me I just got up:

All they would need to do is to set up one that coheres with all of the functions
they need to do. Certainly not painstaking unless the code is FUBAR. Certainly not
long either, unless long to you is a couple of days -> week.

Right, I'm trolling. I go around and read for posts and reply with nothing but
synical responses.

> Anyway, why not explain your idea a little more so I can understand what you're
really talking about? I don't see what you suggest being possible without major
changes.

You haven't done much work with key inputs for movement and such have you? Even Fox
(who is really good at this stuff) said at most it would take is a couple of days.
"One day to implement, two or three to debug. Modular = easier :P"

Didn't think it was that hard to comprehend to assign the keys as variables and store
it in the aworld.ini and allow users who know what they're doing to edit it. Not
necessarily needing a GUI interface to change it.

--Bowen--

Oct 7, 2002, 4:43pm

With most win32 compilers it's even easier than that. Just simply call a case/switch
and apply variables to certain keys (in this case all standard 101/102 keyboards),
have the user set which is what with either a config file (ini) or a window in
browser.

Sure it's a little more complex, but I don't have my book handy. It's certainly not
as hard as chat bubbles.
