Additional 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.

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!

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.)

Emboldened Users/Whisper List

Mar 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.

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!!!

Why isn't anyone renewing?

Oct 21, 2002, 8:14pm
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

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.

XP and AW

Mar 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!)

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!

Someone REALLY lost the plot

May 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.

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??

Barbara Eisner

WTC Memorial in Amberlin

Sep 7, 2002, 7:58am
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.

God bless,
Lady Barbara

MrBruce drops A1CT world

Nov 6, 2002, 11:59pm
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!

Tourist access iCandy & iCandy4U

Nov 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.

Warm regards,
Lady Barbara of Amberlin

This email serves 2 purposes: First this is a test--I don't seem to be
getting all the emails I think I should be gettting!

Second--is it too late (probably is) to enter my world, Amberlin, for a
booth in Avatars2002???

Thanks!

World Server.... or not?

Jan 13, 2003, 12:38am
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!

No telegram sounds

Apr 16, 2003, 9:12pm
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!
