lady barbara // User SearchAdditional Tourist Avatars by Bot????Jun 17, 2003, 6:43am
I was just told by Support (Myst) that one could use a bot or whatever to
set avatars. This would somehow allow me to have more than just the two tourist avatars. --------------------------------->Snip<------------------------------ Yes, you could have more than just the 2 tourist avs if you are running a 3.4 world. I would suggest asking in the world owners or SDK newsgroup to see if someone has a bot that chooses avatars for people. Kellie Williams/Mountain Myst Community Services --------------------------------->Snip<------------------------------ In the very near future I expect to have a number of tourists from another universe (chat program) to come visit on a certain day. (More about that in a few days--AW citizens will also be invited!) I would like to have the visitors have a wider choice of avatars. Is this possible? How would it be done? Please keep explanations simple--I know very little about bots. Thanks in advance! Lady Barbara of Amberlin aka Barbara Eisner WhiteBoardJan 10, 2003, 9:14am
Who or what is "Scol"?? I've often thought that might make things easier
when you're trying to explain or develop something with another member. Using the entire window, one is able to draw on the screen as in "The Palace". In that program, you're able to draw with your cursor (mouse) in any of the basic colors, etc. Then, to keep it, just do a screen cap. It certainly came in handy sometimes! (That's one of the very few things I miss from that program.) Lady Barbara [View Quote] Emboldened Users/Whisper ListMar 28, 2003, 5:34pm
This is a realitively simple "wish", but I do think it could really be of
help. I propose that those names of members who are in already talking in bold -- PS-- in the text box should also be in bold in the "Whisper/Users" List down below. Regards, Lady Barbara aka Barbara Eisner [wish] ability for bot to assign a light to userMay 3, 2003, 11:38am

A couple questions.Oct 1, 2002, 9:52am
Aww...Come on Ab Mon--let the kid alone!!! You know the saying about
"people in glass houses"?? Well, then, please stop bothering our little Carl!! Carl--first of all, (looking up in grammar reference book) you made a courteous request which does not require a question mark!!! Now as far as Direct3d8, I believe I have that--I know I have that, but in my options or settings for AW, I was told to keep the Direct3D7 (not8) checked unless you have the most absolutely new version. But I would look it up and check it out to be certain. Or, maybe [courteous request] someone out there who knows more about the topic will let you (and the rest of us) know the solution to this program is. I know I've seen this topic addressed in at least one NG over the last few months. Good luck, Carl!!! [View Quote] [View Quote] [Browser Info] Graphics Modes (C&P)Oct 3, 2002, 7:45pm

Ok, as long as the subject was brought up, I need some advice on renewing:
In December, my current citizenship is up for renewal as Lady Barbara (of Amberlin). My server (Amberlin) will run out at end of April. Yes, I plan on renewing both, if need be. Do I renew my current citnum or should I take one of my free citnum's that came with my server? I want to remain "Lady Barbara" and have that name rename on my builds. What happens when my server runs out? Do I have to pay for another year as a citizen or may I use the free ones that came with my server? I've been told that my builds would revert to <NAC> till I have my host run some routine to put me back on them. Thanks in advance for help, Lady Barbara of Amberlin aka Barbara Eisner [View Quote] Why isn't anyone renewing?Oct 22, 2002, 9:46pm
Wait a minut here! You mean I have to renew my citnum (approx $60)
beginning of December plus later renew my server in April??? (Not to mention the "tourist" thingee.) Then would all my builds retain my original citnum and name? I had been saving my free citnum that came with my server to use when my cit expired. But then my builds would be <NAC> unless some routine was run. Do most people who have had servers in the past just renew their original citnum? What becomes of the free ones? Are they new each time the server is renewed? In other words, is it better to keep renewing the original citnum and then a few months later renew the server? I'll have to admit it may just be simpler that way.

Hi Kerstin!
So, as I understand it, they extended the time on your ORIGINAL cit? Did you have to phone them or email support at activeworlds (MM)?? Thanks for the info. Lady Barbara [View Quote] New models for saleDec 12, 2002, 9:31pm

Recommendation for mail client?Mar 4, 2003, 7:39pm
I'm still using OE with Win98SE and am having no trouble at all with it!
(Knock Wood!) Lady Barbara of Amberlin [View Quote] XP and AWMar 7, 2003, 8:26am
What exactly is OpenGL?? It has been suggested to me a few times. I run AW
on Win98SE. Sometimes I get those darn Aworld.ini errors toothat kick me out of AW! I have ATI Xpert99/Xpert2000 and according to the manual, etc. I have to continue running it on DirectX7 --NOT 8!! Is OpenGL slower, will I have same colors, etc.??? I've just switched Amberlin to "Huge". (BTW, thanks guys for that suggestion!) Lady Barbara of Amberlin aka Barbara Eisner [View Quote] Gaurdian's Stairs?Mar 28, 2003, 5:04pm
You may want to try using Andras' Circular Stairs Program (available
http://www.andras.net/circstair.html). I've used it several times; among which I used it create majestic spiral stairs for my Treehouse Village. As a matter of fact, they're so easy to walk down, that I fell like Royalty striding down thost stairs! Regards, Lady Barbara aka Barbara Eisner [View Quote] Someone REALLY lost the plotMay 3, 2003, 7:15am
Someone really did lose the plot here!
I agree that the message needed to be changed, but I'm still a bit confused. Please note the following excerpt: ************** [View Quote] "To begin your free Active Worlds trial, please fill out all the fields in this window and press OK. At the end of your one week free trial, and every month after that, your credit card will automatically be charged $6.95 until you cancel your subscription. To avoid being charged you MUST cancel your subscription at www.activeworlds.com before the one week trial period is over." *************** I thought a tourist may remain a "tourist" for as long as he/she wishes (with restricted privileges, of course). According to what this says, he/she has only a ONE WEEK trial period starting with 3.4! If one wants to continue to be a tourist, he has to cancel subscription and probably will have to re-install the program all over again! I find this to be confusing and also even discouraging membership! I have several people coming into Amberlin as Tourists and I consider as regulars. For one reason or another, they are unable to become a citizen. For me, they are as valid a member of AW Community as "Citizens" are. Hopefully, one day, they may be able to become a cit, but until then they are as much a contributing member of the AW community as some other citizens are. I've already seen such indications in Amberlin that tourists can be invaluable members of Amberlin's community and will be treated as such. One Week Trial Period???? I've just renewed my Tourist Fee and have finally begun to have friends from other chat programs start to come in and explore. Now this? One Week Trial Period! Whoever came up with that idea?? I'm finally starting to see a bridge being started at last between ActiveWorlds and other universes (chat programs), such as Manor and Palace (both 2D). We're starting to find that they can and hopefully will compliment one another. I really do want to encourage this communication between these different chat universes (programs). I've been in both, and have invested a great deal of time in these programs. I think they both have their pros and cons; both have something worthwhile to offer. Regards, Lady Barbara of Amberlin aka Barbara Eisner Fake Immigration Officer Message???Jul 14, 2003, 10:20pm
Pardon me for the cross-posting, but I think this might warrant it.
Earlier this afternoon a friend and I were just having a chat in Amberlin--having been back for at least five or ten minutes. All of a sudden we both received messages that looked as though were from the Immigration Officer --in the same green font. First was mentioned something to do with "9 9 9" and "cat" and some objects, then gave a URL. Then came the warning about being careful about not clicking on URL's that weren't trusted, etc. etc. Well, after a minute, I stupidly clicked on the URL. After all, here's the IO giving out info but not in the usual way. Anyway, I clicked, and was immediately thrown out of AW!!! I signed back on, and noticed my cache was loading all over again. I should have asked my friend for a copy of that URL line from his log, but I didn't think of it. After we both signed off, I checked the log and discovered that those lines had been deleted, possibly even with a line or two before and/or after!! I ran Norton's immediately--it didn't find any thing. And that "announcement" from the I.O. has yet to reappear. Anyone know anything about this?? Regards, Barbara Eisner aka Lady Barbara Amberlin GoingOct 5, 2003, 1:53pm
Best of luck to you! You have contributed so very much to the AW universe
in so many ways -- You will be sorely missed. I hope sometime in the future, you will reconsider your decision and rejoin us! Warm Regards, Lady Barbara Amberlin [View Quote] Kerstin???Oct 5, 2003, 9:56pm

Since I didn't rejoin Active Worlds till this last December, I wasn't here
in AW on Sept11th. I was in The Palace (another chat program) and did create a memorial of sorts on my serve there. But, now that I've become a citizen of AW and have been spending most of my time here now, and as the anniversary of the Tragedy approaches, I felt the need to build a memorial here in my new home, Amberlin. I would like to invite any who may be interested to come to Amberlin, and take a few moments to remember and, perhaps, to reflect on what this last year has meant personally and to the country generally.

Mr. Bruce--
Admittedly I haven't been to A1CT world very often, but when I have I was very impressed by the ingenuity of its builders and quite pleased with the fact it was a "G" world. Now, that "G" means quite a bit to me. Besides the two servers a friend and I ran in The Palace, which were "G", each of us now run our own worlds here in AW (Amberlin and Nethland), both of which are "G" rated worlds! Also, my Amberlin is a tourist friendly world (one in which I'm the sole builder), being a G rated world is safe for kids, adults alike. I find this to be one of the most important factors with most people coming into ActiveWorlds. Please don't give up, MrBruce, the Community of ActiveWorlds and it's visitors still do need you. Even though I'm not a mother, I can appreciate having a world that I know to be a G rated world and safe for kids exists. I think you and your world do an incredible service for the Community of AW. Please don't give up! We do need and support you! Lady Barbara of Amberlin aka Barbara Eisner [View Quote] Tourist access iCandy & iCandy4UNov 24, 2002, 6:59am
Kerstin--
I think that's great! I believe there is a need to have a wide range of worlds for tourists to visit!! And a special plus for those that allow tourist building!!! As you know my Amberlin is also a tourist world, but alas, is unable to allow tourist building. Three cheers to you, Gal!! However, I was disappointed to see your "Teapot World" gone! All that work---all those adorable teapots!! I do hope you're still giving them out--I never did get mine.

When I first tried to put my world, Amberlin, on my own computer, I wasn't
able to get in, like you. Belfelast came to my rescue. For some reason the only way I could keep it open and let myself get in there (others could get in, I think) was to have it hosted by someone else. Good luck! Lady Barbara of Amberlin [View Quote] Music SurveyJan 24, 2003, 7:12am

Even tho I have "telegram" and "building" sounds enabled, I don't hear the
telegram and I'm pretty certain I don't hear the building sounds--whatever they are. I even went into the AW/sounds folder and was able to play the sounds from there. I'm using AW 3.4 on a P3, 600Mhz, 256MB RAM, Win98SE, Soundblaster AWE. I'm able to hear other sounds, btw. Thank you! Lady Barbara |
