BRO and I have been discussing coronas. It's possible to invert the
equation so that when you back away from a corona it gradually gets more dim
and as you get closer it gets brighter. The other way around isn't natural
in some cases (loll) It's like looking in a universal mirror. Should all
the text be reversed? Either way is useful for building.

We sort of began in space and just kept imagining and let ourselves "what
if" on and on. What if: in whichever camera view you want to be in... the
x,y, and z axis properties has an effect on how you see things? Standing on
our heads now trying to figure out what this is all about.

Nov 18, 2002, 6:16pm

BRO and ORB cont. If we had screen in screen, we could also have an added
camera angle to use for zooming ahead to see things in the distance before
walking, viewing it in the 2nd screen.

Bump mirror on when you walk through a door maybe ? I guess to have the
mirror have avatar detection as a trigger the mirror would have to be a bot
? Naw

Warps with adjustable speed command :o)

Nov 23, 2002, 11:30pm

It's nothing new but a matter of importance and considered progress sharing
ideas and being free to grow and learn. Scaring ppl away from expressing
themselves by saying someone is copying someone else really hampers
progress. I can see if someone is making a living and has copy rights which
is completely different than what we're doing here in the wishlist in AW's
NGs as we give of ourselves freely for the good of all. Who knows when our
ideas will come to life in AW. Whether old ideas being repeated here and
taken to the next level, or a whole new chain of ideas. I'm sure that
everyone doesn't keep a list of who thought of what first from the time of
genesis. I'm also just as sure there are different perspectives, concepts
and theories but may draw the same or similar conclusion. That chain of
events can lead to great discoveries. The warps at whatever speed and
possibly parallel to whichever object intended could mean someday we'll see
ourselves in 3rd person riding a bus or truck moving at the same speed in
the same direction/or set of directions at the very same time. I know it's
been thought of and discussed time and time again. SO I'm reiterating.

Travel from point to point according to specified x,y and z where the avatar
will be commanded to snap to a vehicle object in which it makes collision
and where the first travel command is written.

[where t=travel r=rotate sv=snap to vehicle]

Therefore the first bump travel command should be written on the sv object.
Thereafter any collision with other bump travel warps without the sv command
will only affect the travel of avatar and initial sv object so as to
continue the snap and traveling until specifying an sv change.

Create sv;Bump t=10 0 0 time=10; next t

next t will cause an open travel statement until collision with next bump t
command object;

bump r=1 0 0 time=4, t=0 5 0, next t

then to end travel;

bump sv off,t end

Flaws are something I'm sure of.

Of course setting speed limits is left to the department of transportation.
(No person shall drive a vehicle...at a speed greater than is reasonable and
prudent...and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons
or property)


Teleporters becoming reality:

Nov 25, 2002, 5:43pm

http://www.activeworlds.com/help/aw31/teleport.html "Note that
short-distance teleports or warps (less than 100 meters horizontally) won't
register in the list of places you can go back to. This is so that the
various warp-driven rollercoasters don't generate a long list of short
teleports, which would make it difficult to get back to the start of the
ride."

The course is set by the builder who decides the path of travel. It's been
that way with warps all along. Otherwise may as well just use an avatar
with a vehicle already attached.

Hi everyone,

I think I mentioned this wish before. It's about having an rwx act like a

While writing a list on a xaw2 we thought it would give us more character
allowance if we left out spaces between each item on the list and put a
comma between words. We added loads of words to the sign. The text got
real small in the tag when gliding mouse over the sign. We didn't realize
what effect this would have on our computers. 2 different computers crashed
over a dozen times because of it. I even had to reformat my hd afterwards.

Jan 12, 2003, 3:53pm

No idea how it caused the problems within my system to the degree that it
did. My computer wasn't the only one crashing repeatedly because of it.
Once the sign was deleted the crashing stopped but I still had AWorld error
messages and system error messages. Never had the system problems before
that. I reinstalled AW 3.3 but still had errors. Reformatting was
necessary it seemed to me since I had so many errors appearing steadily as
time went on while using programs other than AW. Maybe somehow it was
reading word,word,word,word,word,etc as one super long word and that isn't
ok with how the 3.3 programming is.

Thousands of acres of Not A Citizen covered land is all over AW in huge
chunks. There ought to be someway to free up that space for ppl to use.

I don't mean builds that are historical just land that is covered by grass
or so. Ok maybe not a good idea lol
