As crazy as it may sound for some, I believe I should have the right, as a
world owner, to set the minimum visibility to 200m.

It is my world. If I have the ability to use such objects and techniques
that viewing my world at 200m results in no lag whatsoever, I should be able
to set it to maximum visibility.

I say this because, AW should be stepping more to a game-development
environment for those with such talent, just as Second Life has.
This way, the average user has no differences - but the "developers" in AW
have more things to work with, therefore - the average user can have a more
intense experience in Active Worlds.

Now, my computer is far from the best - and I have tested the world with
many other people on 200m visibility, everyone reports no lag at all. And my
world doesn't have a low number of objects or poly count - it is a p30
filled with real gaming models - and it works great.

Due to the nature of the world and the models it contains, we need to keep
it at a minimum of 200m visibility (if we could exceed it, it would be way
better). As the world grows, we have concepts of how to keep the lag at a
minimum with such features as fog and such.

Being my world, I may choose to only let the users with a reasonable system
in my world.

I could start all new users in a empty area isolated from everything, and
give them a warning about how the world may not be suitable for them.

You see, it is something that really should be upto the world owner - its
not like you have these sort of limitations when making your own program or
game.

Worlds are not free, nor are they cheap - if I want to limit the world to a
handful of users, I should be able to.

Thats simple enough, thanks a lot for that.

I guess the only thing now is to have my wish changed to "increased
visibility limit". :)

Less than a 1% chance that they will ever use your code.
And for the record - I'm not implying its a bad code. :)

Have no idea, just got bored. Anyway I noticed Bruce says that his world
attracts hackers. Hackers are people that steal paths?
They are not worthy of the title hacker.

[View Quote] Meaning how they know how long you have been present in the world?

Its a world server plugin programmed by Grimm...

And, active, no. Just presence is calculated.

You could easily program a bot to do the same just by checking the world
server, although wouldn't be as affective.

I wish people would read everything.

I will get some details. I tried this once before with 3.4 features,
although failed due to lack of support.

I am interested in turning AW's features into a game. But as I said, lack of
support. Now I am making a game by itself with a devteam.

Well, since this NG has the spam it does, I thought I would ask who shares
the theory of Earth being another planet's hell?

Feb 14, 2003, 3:36am

In other words, hell only exists for however long your in it.

An illegal universe is one thing, but when they begin to profit from it, it
makes me sick.

http://www.emotionfm.nl.tt/ is currently making money by selling worlds and
citizen ships.
The software IS up for download, under "Emotion 3D"

You cant spell, your attampt to kick him out is stupid and he is not a
hacker. If he can hack Aw software, then...hell, im not even going to
bother... He can't hack it.

Don't want it?
Don't download it.
Simple.
Actually, they dont even have it asking to upgrade, it is availible to
download if you choose, but there is not even a messege box for it.
