thats pretty damn cool for AW :O)

So you're saying this is YOUR bot Grimm ???
If so..... Don't you think it would have been nice if we world owners were
INFORMED of this ?? I know " I'D " like to know exactly what information
this bot gathered, as my worlds are CLOSED and PRIVATE...... and see no
reason as to why AWC needs to know the content of such......

Anyone else disturbed by this ?

Oh the HUMANITY of it all.........

In the grand scheme of things here..... considering how many decent ppl
would be hurt by this, I do believe most would agree with me in saying that
what you..... ONE person believes, is irrelevant.....

I for one am glad he posted this info..... tho I think it was unwise to post
the list of ACTUAL passwords..... that wasn't necessary.... and could
potentially harm some who OWN those OP paths, and may have not seen this yet
:O(

And, Yes.... I can also confirm this is not a hoax...... as one of the
worlds listed belongs to a close friend and the PW was correct..... :O(
fortunately it was changed quite some time ago......

Thank you Strike...... Hope You contacted those world owners..

Wings, I can only speak for myself, but Andras has also confirmed this is
NOT a hoax I'd have to say that I do believe he is probably one of the
single most trusted and respected individuals IN activeworlds..... And also
a very thorough man.... he would not say so unless it was a true and proven
fact :O(

One of the worlds on that list belongs to a very close friend and the
listed PW was indeed the correct one....... Fortunately she had changed the
PW months ago after a discussion we had concerning a totally unrelated
matter, so apparently whomever is doing or had done this, has been at it
for some time :O( as the PW on the list is months old.......

I'd suggest if you have any custom Av's or objects on your path, you
reconsider your decision and repassword them..... It truly is a bit of an
undertaking for someone with a large OP, but are the alternatives acceptable
?? Also is it fair to the modelers who may have made any of the customs,
for their work to remain unprotected, for any rotten bag of garbage to help
themselves to ? :O(

Best I can offer is that Andras' MultiZip program will rezip and PW files in
HUGE batches.... I've used it and it works well......
http://andras.net/tools.html#multizip Truly a saving grace in this
situation.....

Best of luck,
JB

Do you realize that by being so aloof and disbelieving of this situation in
a public post, You may well be inviting this louse, just to satisfy his own
sadistic immoral urges, to crack YOUR pw now, just to be a Prick ?? Pardon
my language....

Sometimes best to just quietly go about your business and not draw attention
to yourself........

of course, only my opinion
JB

Ahh Yes ...... but which one is the evil twin ? ;O) Hmmm

Apr 30, 2002, 12:57am

light snow set... You're welcome to em, if you want em.....

May 17, 2002, 8:11pm

sure ya can run two browsers :O) try this.... works for me...

make "shortcuts" to the two browsers on your quick launch bar at the bottom
of the screen, right next to each other, then just click em both, one right
after another... do it FAST, and they will both open.... seems it takes a
second for the window type to register and your puter doesnt have time to
disallow the second browser :O) Of coure, you'd hafta be on two diff cits
if both were AW browsers, Havent tried that yet tho....

I use this to be in two uni's all the time..... tho it IS a bit of a hog on
resources, it works none the less.... :O)

JB

Best of luck in life :O)
Take Care

Being " P.C. " never stopped anyone HERE from bashing the crap out of
someone........

Go ahead Glitter, their opinions are no more valuable than yours. Everyone's
got a right to post theirs.... Be a bit more interesting than going
through the myriad of useless " Hey, why doesnt such and such work......
next post : NM........ I actually READ the instructions " posts.....

But be warned..... prepare to get slammed by SOMEONE..... this IS aw and
trolls abound :O/

JB

Jun 4, 2002, 11:23pm

Robbie's right..... I've used both 4.3 and 5.1.... personally I prefer
5.1, but thats only because i knew 4.3 well enough...... 5.1 is
substantially different in so far as the menus are concerned. there's an
awful lot more tools ( that you'll never use for AW ) and it took a fair
amount of RE-learning to get all the needed functions down pat.....

For someone starting out, definately learn 4.3 first...... it CAN be a
little confusing at first, but it's a good amount simpler than 5.1 and it's
also still a damn good program for making AW objects, and more affordable
too ! ;O) considering you have the books for 4.3, I'd recommend sticking
with 4.3.... at least for now..... there's going to be some things in those
books that wont help at all with 5.1 since they did some changing around
with the menus...... things you wont even be able to find if you follow
instructions for 4.3.......

I've read a few of robbie's tutorial pages and he's done a darn good job
there :O) helps a lot when you can SEE what the menu buttons and assorted.
properties boxes apply to..... being most programs have SOME manner of pull
down menus for tools and such, of which TS has FEW,..... seeing this stuff
helps a lot !

Good Luck Modelling !

JB

p.s. if you want some proof that 4.3 works great, stop into the world JADE
and take a look at the wonderful stuff there.... one of my best friends here
owns it and she used 4.3 to make it all :O)

Jun 5, 2002, 12:47am

Uh huh....... that jade ;O)

Good Luck Barb

JB

Jun 5, 2002, 12:48am

Hmmm...... this all crossposted to general too :O/ odd

Jun 5, 2002, 1:05am

never noticed that the server automatically cross posted all the replies
too........ oh well, guess the world wont come to an end :O) flame on
ppl !

Jun 7, 2002, 8:26pm

well paul, I'd agree with you, if not for ONE point......

she's spent quite a bit of money already for TS4, and a bunch of manuals and
books..... would you have her throw her money away so flippantly ?

I think you'll agree that she could make extremely nice things with 4.3.....
Lady Murasaki sure doesnt seem to be having any problems.... all she uses is
4.3.... and you sure spend plenty of time in her worlds looking around,
studying her work or whatever....

anyone using 4.3 can make very nice things with it..... and save themselves
a bit of money in the process :O)

JB

Jun 8, 2002, 2:36am

You'll have to decide for yourself barbara... :O)

I think 4.3 is easier to learn than 5.1 considering your reference materials
available..... also from my own personal experience with both programs, but
of course, thats only my opinion.....

Best of luck with whichever you choose :O)

JB

Jun 19, 2002, 7:13pm

I dunno....... to waste money ? :OD

JB

Jun 8, 2002, 2:41am

It will Barbara, until you either raise or lower the individual terrain
cells in relation to the ground object. see, flat default terrain is at the
same level as a traditional ground object... kind of like when you overlap
two floor or walk panels... they're both at the same "altitude"

Hope this helps.... :O)

JB

Jun 8, 2002, 12:58pm

I've lost a number of close friends way before their time.... She was a
very nice woman, this is certainly a sad day :O(

My most sincere heartfelt thoughts and deepest sympathy goes out to those
who knew and cared for her......

AND...... in case you hadn't considered this..... they COULD boot yer at $$, if they decided that
doing unauthorized (unsupported, whatever you wanna call it) upgrades this way was some manner of
attempting to hack into their web server to get stuff you aint supposed to have yet, since there
ISN'T a manual update option...... "Technically" you're not supposed to do this........ know what
I mean ? Just something to think about..... Some ppl get kinda Pissy when you screw around with
their software like that..........


So far AWC's been pretty timely in fixing these sorts of problems....... a couple weeks with
screwy sequences aint gonna kill anyone ;O)
