Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Hamsterville got DUMPED ON. Roads are dry though (thanking the city virtual
snow removal crew for their hard work :-)).

> Thanks e n z o for the snow, looks Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat

Yeah.. It looks COOL. :-) But that assumes you're not NOT out IN the
stuff. :-) *LOL!*

Cheers for now & Happy Holidays :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] that HUGE row of arches about 10-15 miles East of Hamsterville would fit
this description. Intertown Highway 3 runs along both sides of it,
depending on where you're at.

Last time I checked, the ONLY rules I know of concerning bots on AlphaWorld
were 1). They had to be registered with AWI and 2). They couldn't be
withing 20 meters IN ANY DIRECTION of Ground Zero. But i could be mistaken
too. :-)

However this can be VERY deceiving. As someone who's built several highways
on AlphaWorld, I would sometimes lay down nearly a hundred pieces of road
objects if the area I was in was desolate and empty. Do i use a bot? NO.
I build the roads myself.

Add to this the fact you quoted other parts of (what should have been)
conversations limited to the world you were in in the above partially-quoted

something called PROPER NETIQUETTE.

In short, if you thought you were going to get any sympathy from ME when you

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] I think at this point we have to assume this person either isn't online
anymore or they have TOTALLY FORGOTTEN about the email box which is used for
the Ring. :-(

Either way, I think I'll get something started after the SW City Birthday
Bash. In fact, I may even create several Rings in different categories.
They would be....

All Things ActiveWorlds - Pretty self-explanatory
AlphaWorld Cities & Towns - For sites associated with a city or town on
AlphaWorld
AWTeen Cities & Towns - For sites associated with a city or town on AWTeen

There could also be an ActiveWorlds World Owners ring set up, but since I
don't own a world, it would be rather unfair for me to serve as RingMaster.

Lastly, there could be rings set up for other public building worlds such as
TheBeans, but I'll leave that one for someone else.

Any other ideas?

Hi everyone:

Who all, besides VWTV, is planning to provide coverage OF ANY KIND on the
22nd? I know that VWTV is providing coverage of the ceremony itself, but
I'd like to know who's providing other related coverage as well.

One of the reasons I ask is because I thought I'd make use of Hamsterville's
three parks as a gathering places so that the Cy Awards World isn't crowded
with so many people who aren't there for the ceremony itself. :-)

This will be a multi-venue event. The venues I have in mind are.....

CEDAR LAKE PARK (next to Cheers) - AW 5027N 404E (yes Cheers will be
finished by then)

TOWN SQUARE PARK (across from Madison High School) - AW 5004N 224E (near the
free speech staging area)

EMBASSY PARK (across from the Riverside Expressway) - AW 5075N 53E

All the venues will be open for anyone to join in on the fun. :-) There'll
be viewers tuned in to ALL the networks at all three parks.

While there, people can use this opportunity to find a place to call home in
Hamsterville and build too. :-)

Plans are already being made by yours truly. :-)

Alpha, OneSummer, please feel free to pass this along. :-)

Cheers for now everyone :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Perhaps, but weren't there unofficial Cy Awards parties on other worlds than
cyawards in years past? I think I seem to recall one on AW GZ last time the
Cys were held.

Then again, I could be mistaken on that. :-)

As for the VRTV coverage, I know VWTV is the official network and has been
for the last few years. But didn't CTV have some type of pre and post
ceremony coverage similar to the "red carpet arrivals" before the show and
press conferences after the show (like what you would see on Oscar Night)
along with VWTV? I seemingly recall CTV planning to provide something like
this last year before the Cys were cancelled altogether last year.

As was kinda thinking that either FBS or (most likely) DSTV would do
something similar to what CTV had planned last year this time around.
Perhaps someone from either/both of those networks could advise us on this?
(looking at Ry from Ocean City).

If there IS going to be such coverage planned, I could REALLY make it a
party atmosphere (especially with music from ActiveWorlds Radio thrown in)
:-)

Anyhow...It's just a thought. :-)

Cheers for now :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] This is what I'm planning. :-) Only difference is I'll have virtual
JumboTrons tuned into VWTV and its coverage of the Cys as well as any other
network providing whatever unofficial "red carpet" coverage they may be
providing.

> Regarding DSTV and FBS, I never heard of these stations. If they were
> supposed to do something, they would have advised me.

DSTV is Ry's network (or at least it's tied in with Ocean City). FBS is
more commonly known as FBStv or something like that. There WAS a rumor (at
least amongst the UETV crowd) that UETV was going to take over FBStv, but
apparently that's all it was. Just a rumor.

> And BTW since Pineriver left AW :-( , CTV, if it still exists, is not
affiliated with the
> Cys

I know Pineriver took CTV off the air(and it was never affiliated with the
Cys), but I didn't know he also left AW. Last I heard was that he was still
going to remain a cit, but he just didn't have the time to keep CTV going
with current shows, which was one of the reasons why he took CTV off the
air.

Anyhow, if anyone has the new VRTV directory URL that Pineriver put together
a few months back, I'd sure appreciate it if it was posted. I'd hate to
have to Google it and wind up getting the old old one (that thing is SO OUT
OF DATE).

Cheers for now :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Actually the correct coords. are 5125N 53E. I made a mistake earlier.
Sorry 'bout that. :-(

I made a park out of it. Couldn't really do anything else with that area
with the river of water there. I also added a walkway and rows of trees at
the edges. :-) I then called it Embassy Park as it runs alongside Embassy
Avenue, which runs from 5100N from 0E to 272E. This is per the Yeti City
"Embassy Avenue" program. :-)

I'm planning to set up the Embassy Park Cy Awards party area somewhere
around 5125N in the park, but away from the street itself since the
Riverside Expressway is just on the other side. :-)

Wouldn't want anybody to get virtually hit by a virtual car, now would we?
:-)

The coords. for the other two parks are pretty much on target. :-)

Hope this helps :-)

Cheers for now :-).

> I know about 3.5, etc. I still prefer 3.3 which has no water, cpu
throttles,

I don't like the interface that 3.5 has either. I liked the ability to have
the contacts, teleports, and telegrams tabs off to the side like 3.3 and 3.4
did as opposed to having to open a popup window just to answer or send a
telegram.

Perhaps AWI could make this an OPTION in 3.6 when it's released?

And what is with having all those STUPID looking icons for the toolbar?
They're too big. Make 'em smaller.

I'm cross-posting this over to wishlist to ensure appropriate feedback and
exposure.

Aside from those things, I really can't complain about 3.5. I kinda like it
despite the aforementioned nuances. :-)

Hope this helps. :-)

Hi everyone:

I'm in a bit of a quandry.

I'm in the middle of building a parking garage at 5071N 404E to compliment
the baseball stadium I have and have a skeleton layout of the edges (minus
the walls and fences), however I'm at a stalemate as to what to use for the
middle section.

I thought of using some street4.rwx back-to-back-to-back mode. Ferrucio
(who stopped by just as I was getting ready to post this) gave his
suggestions and also sugessted I (re)visit some other parking garages, which
I'll do, but I also thought I'd get input from the community.at large too.

Any ideas you have would be appreciated and taken into consideration. :-)

I look forward to your replys :-)

In the meantime...

Am sitiing above these coords now at 100m high and all I see directly below
me is a NAC build plus a few cit builds which ARE NOT yours.

If the coords. you gave are correct, I should be sitting in the middle of
the thing. But I'm not. I'm right squarely above a NAC build.

But I did spot a nice looking town below which I'll explore before I leave.

company which BTW you can feel free to set up regional offices in your city,
town or world [Corporate HQ will also serve as Virtual Cable Hamsterville or
VCI Hamsterville] :-)).

I think I'll also set up another media demo post near Hamsterville's new
Ground Zero area as well (I extended the city's East side to accomondate
more building by me and others and also slightly moved the city's far north
side as well). :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] As per my announcement last night, I have built a makeshift media demo site
on the NW corner of South Beechwood Boulevard & East Archuletta Street,
which is 4900N 819E. You should be able to see the viewer and the buttons
from the corner, which I though was important since I'm also now planning to
add video to my Drive-In Theater (thanks to the Internet Archive Open Source
Feature Films section :-)) as soon as an encoder for Windows Media 10 is
released. :-)

I have all but AW1 linked (I don't know if I even have a working one on my
site, though I'll poke around).

Feel free to point to them in your demos, but gram me if you'd like the
source stored on your own site (I'll be building in the area anyways :-)).
We don't need to make it hard on Tripod to allow me to keep them on their
servers. :-)

If I can find a working version of AW1 on my site, I'll add it. But if I
don't have one, at least you'll have the others to work with. :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] It gets even better now because I'm encoding a few flicks for my Drive-In
Theater into Windows Media even as you read this (or at least as I type
this! :-)).

The Theater itself is already built (Has been for the last couple of years).
All I need to do is change the X-Object used for the screen and add buttons
on the sidepoles where the speaker would go in a reg'lar Drive-In back in
the day. :-)

If I'm successful with the flicks, it'll be among the first
multimedia-enhanced builds on all of AlphaWorld (if not THE first one ON ALL
OF ACTIVEWORLDS :-)). Either way you look at it, this would be quite an
achievement. :-)

Aug 24, 2004, 3:13am

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Erm....No....No....No. That isn't what I have in mind.

You see, the Internet Archive has a Feature Films section that has a WHOLE
BUNCH of flicks from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s that are PUBLIC DOMAIN which
I plan to use.

I did find a way of encoding them into Windows Media format using a 3rd
Party video editing utility (I have Windows Media Player Beta 10 and the
runtime environment thereof which makes the Windows Media Encoder program
practically useless), but I've run into a new problem.

The X Object used for the screen.

Isn't there anything BIGGER & TALLER than xaw7 or xaw23 that's a screen?
Seriously, xaw7 and its predecessor, xaw23 BOTH look INCREDIBLY small (In
fact, they're almost TINY) in my Drive-In Theater at 4900N 232E. I tried
xaw24 but that's only a frame (but it's big enough).

Some suggestions in this area would be most useful. :-)

Aug 24, 2004, 3:58am

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] UPDATE: I'm now using an xaw2.rwx for the screen. while it's not quite as
tall as the 9 xaw23 objects I had up before, it's just as wide (give or take
an inch or two).

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Why should I do something which YOU could just as easily DO YOURSELF
(Especially with YOUR movie clip collection)???

As for the AW videos I have on my site (which were produced by Pineriver
BTW), you're perfectly welcome to have your button objects point to them OR
if you'd like them to be stored on your site instead, I can send them to in
a series of emails addressed to a box that allows attachments.

But really....WHY should *I* do something which you can just as easily DO
YOURSELF??? It only took me 15-20 minutes to set up that makeshift demo
site. And once I find storage space for my movies (at least the ones I'll
be featuring), it'll probably take me just as long (IF even that) to add
videos (and ultimately FINISH OFF) the Drive-In Theater since I already
built the other stuff back in 2002. :-)

Hi everyone:

Well....It took awhile, but I HAVE DONE IT. Introducing THE FIRST KNOWN
**PERMANENT** MULTIMEDIA-ENHANCED BUILD on AlphaWorld (if not the entire
ActiveWorlds Universe)..

It is my Drive-In Theater located at 4900N 235E.

There's a HUGE screen so you can see the movie.

Right now, I only have one video listed, but am working on more (my goal is
to have 3 videos which will be swapped out every few weeks or so like a real
theater). Just simply click the button (the button is on the far side of
the series of street objects attached to one of the poles).

Although the theater has been around since 2002, this is still a WIP as I
add buttons to the other poles and make some other changes (I want people to
still be able to hear the movie when they visit the snack bar if at all
possible). But FEEL FREE to have a look around, enjoy the flick and
whatnot. :-)

Of course, FEEDBACK WELCOME. :-)
