Avatars

Mar 3, 2003, 12:57pm

Can someone tell me a great tool to make Avatars? Renderware is $400, I
would prefer to not pay that much, if possible. I would just love to make
some really nice ones. (I would like something that can do nude avatars, if
possible)

XP and AW

Mar 6, 2003, 2:41am

I dont know if it is just me, but everytime I try to run AW on my xp
machine, I just have fatal errors left and right. I have fixed everything I
know of, including the firewall. It just wont run and seems to always
crash, and crash hard.

Any ideas? Any one else having this problem?

I get a skid even if I tip lightly on the movement key. and the numeric pad
doesnt work on a laptop. (even if i turn numpad on, it doesnt work at all.
none of the numbers do what the hot keys say they should....and then i cant
type either, LOL)

3.4 my opinion for what it's worth

Apr 15, 2003, 8:38pm

There is no small movement, and that is very annoying. The avs continue to
move, even when you have stopped. 50 cm is alot, in the end. I have to use
my end button, ALOT to stop moving when building.

Gate Keepers

There is a problem when a person is threatened of being booted for talking
about Shitake Mushrooms. Something really needs to be done in the Gate,
guys.

I have never seen it spelled like that. and I looked up Shitake, it is
spelled both ways. Look in a dictionary

Actually, no. We were talking about food. I was talking about a dinner of
the chinese, Beef and Broccoli. But instead of Broccoli, it was with
shitake mushrooms (or shiitake).

Well, just to let you know, even the head of the GK's found this

Apr 18, 2003, 5:48pm

No where in the rules does it say that I cant talk about food. A name is a
name, sorry if I misspelled it. But it wasnt EVER mean to push anyone's
buttons, or push the limits. I was only talking about a dish I had made
that was delicious. I even provided a link to the recipe to her to prove I
wasnt being rude (with shitake spelled that way!). So no, it wasnt mean to
push the rules.

agreeing with the GK's is bad

Apr 20, 2003, 5:22am

Okay, someone got booted for saying shut up! This is out of control! Most
of the GK's are my friends. But abusing the power to boot is too much for
me, and most of the others. YOu can not boot for saying shut up! Nor can
you boot for saying shitake mushroom (even if I mispelled it, on accident!).
GK's should not boot for such things, nor should they call people idiots.
They should however, remind people to use their mute buttons, teach tourist
how to use the controls, etc.

Something really has to be done! I am watching the gate get worse and worse.

And I am not the best speller. The first person that mentioned shitake [the
way I spell it, and so do the grocery stores where I live] actually spelled
it shitakey, shitakie, etc. He had no idea how to spell it, and he was
trying. I had no idea how to spell, and i was close! I mean, come on.
There is no reason for this. Lady Cherokee was the one that threatened to
boot me, and De De Cybermom called me an idiot. But, that isnt her first
time to call people names, either. I pretty much just keep her on mute.

P.S. If english is not the first language (and even though they can type
it, they dont know all the english words), it might be a bad idea to allow
them to be a gate keeper.

Have you dont "Mark conversation as read"?

That is one way to do it. If you want to just read certain posts, and make
all others appear as read....the try right clicking on "general.discussion"
and click "catch up"..that will mark all posts as read.

The Gate Seq

Apr 28, 2003, 4:49pm

The seq in the gate are messed up. Instead of actually going back to the
wait seq, it is getting stuck at the end of the tab seq. At the end of
Karate, it gets stuck, the end of Yes! it gets stuck. Just thought someone
might like to know they arent working right.
