I think buggies, and jetpacks / hoverboards, etc, could be done ... it's a
matter of making the buggy an avatar and having the wheels turn while you
move (seq). But whether they could make it as realistic as there in the way
they move (like when you go over bumpy terrain yer buggy might lift off LOL)
that's another issue.

For me the sole thing that keeps me in aw (over there for which I do my 2
hrs a month) is the ability to build what I want. I can also create my own
objects / avs and use them in my own world. That's what keeps me in aw.

I wish they'd fix the beta ng so I don't have to keep emailing/gramming to
be re-added to something I was already on. I have emailed
beta at activeworlds.com with no reply and I'm still not on. I've gone so far
as to gram ENZO who says I should use the email LOL. Good grief!?

I never saw said post and I checked that NG several times a day. This lost
of NG posting occurs ever time they go out of beta. I've seen several folks
complain that they had to re-ask several times to be re-included ... and
these folks are much more established in aw than I am. I won't mention any
names ... I can say this is the first time it's happened to me tho. They've
been pretty good about re-adding me up until this last release.

Oh well, no matter, it's not a matter of life and death for me ... I have
other things to do.

It would be nice if we could set how high or low the cloud layers would be.
So that if you have a skybox or backdrop with mountains the clouds wouldn't
appear to go in front of them.

It would be nice if we could do a checkbox to have the sun/moon either in
front of or behind a skybox/panoramic and now envirobox. Behind would be the
better option. Example being that my new envirobox has mountain terrain but
uses aw sky colors, and sun or moon jpgs/coronas. The sun/moon rise at the
horizon but do so in front of my envirobox terrain, not very realistic ...
once they hit the sky area they look fine.

It would be nice to have a star layer all it's own where we could use a star
jpg and have it move. I know most use it in layer1 (as I am doing now) but
to have it's own layer would give us the ability to turn it on or off at
certain times of day. That would be nice if we could do that LOL.

It would also be nice to have the cloud layers in actual layers that you can
say layer1 is from this height down to here, layer2 is from here down to
there, and layer3 is from there down to where ever. Specifying the cloud
thickness or ranges would be kewl.

"Immigration Officer: Remember switching T&L on dramatically improves
framerate..."

NOT! I know of at least *one person* who is on a WinME machine who wishes
she would have been better informed that:

1) Switching ON T&L would make her RELOAD all worlds she normally visits
(she's on dialup and it was a very painful experience) and
2) Wishes she would have been forwarned in advance of T&L forcing world
reloading and
3) Wishes there was some sort of warning that T&L is not good for ALL
computers, nor ALL graphics cards, nor ALL connections such as dialup!

It even messed up other areas of her computer and has literally taken her
days to fix, if she ever can get them all fixed without formatting and
re-installing. T&L is not for everyone!

AWI ... can you add that into the IO message pleazzz?

Well I recently found out if your cit expires, and you have to get a new cit
(not related to me, but happened to someone I know) then you get a new name,
you can't use your old name from your old cit apparently ... even tho the
old cit expired you can't use that cit's name. Weird eh? I mean if you are
that cit but now have another number then you should be able to use your cit
name since we are known by our names not our cits. This person for whom I
speak now has to have a no space in a name that she would prefer to have a
space in. And, I lost track of her and was sending her grams to the old cit
name not knowing she had a new similar name. Whatz with that? If I pay aw
for a cit/name I should be able to keep both or at least keep my preferred
name intact. Just my two cents...

Actually this has happened to actual cits that are cits, a tourist doesn't
have to wait for a cit name to expire to use it. One tourist imparticular
likes to run around using cit names and that is what folks are saying should
not be allowed. But I'm not sure AW can stop that since a tourist name is
treated differently than a cit name. The quotes surely make them *different*
in that you can tell they are a tourist but you cannot tell they aren't the
cit unless the cit is online at the time the imposter uses their name.

Actually, that "Guest###" idea is a good one! It would also keep tourists
from using names that are swear words or somehow not acceptible. I know we
do use that in 2D chats I'm in but once that person lands in the chat they
can change their own name to whatever they like. But we as owners or staff
can strip anyone with an inappropriate name and make their name something
non-offensive.

Perhaps AW might consider that, allowing their staff to change "tourist"
names if they are inappropriate ... when we do this in 2D chat tho, they are
stuck with the name we give them even if they shut down and reboot. And of
course we are able to UNdo a name change should the person *see the light*.

If nothing else "Guest###" or "Tourist###" might solve alot of problems. But
then, some folks may not feel comfortable in a chat where they can't use a
name (within reason) that they prefer. Unfortunately, ya can't please
everyone.

I'd also like to see the *BLUE room* available to all worlds, so that we can
eject someone causing problems to the blue room for five mins as a first
line of defense. When we do eject someone (while in a world other than aw's)
they go to the gate I assume ... and cause trouble there. I wonder if that's
too much to ask, to allow the blue room eject to everyone ... or tell us how
to set up our own without us having to buy another world and leave it blank?

A drop down menu from which you could pick and gram, pick and gram would be
nice. In other words the gram window would open and once you sent to that
person, you could pick another on yer contacts to send the same message to
via a drop down menu that would show all contacts on your list.

Jun 18, 2004, 2:12am

Yep, I requested drop down menus for avs and seqs too, in an earlier post.
I'll bet many of us have thought about it. How easy or hard it might be to
implement is another thing entirely :o/

What would be kewl would be the ability to bump an invisible panel and have
a specific seq play as a result. Right now I'm building a raceway in my
world, for my new *motorcycle avs*, would be great if I could put up a bump
panel here and there and force the *crash* seq to take effect LOL.

Jul 16, 2004, 7:29pm

And while were on the subject of seqs ... I have sit & lay seqs that stay in
position until you *reset* them, but anyone new coming in of course doesn't
see me sitting ... I have to reset and sit again. Would be nice if seqs were
global and made so they're always on or only per person ... the choice of
either would be nice.

Just curious, I have quite a few friends that would like to check aw out but
they are Mac users. The very old page about using a windows emulator is ...
well, it's old! Is there any chance of aw ever releasing a Mac version of
aw??? If not, why? Inquiring minds wanna (*sorry Eep*) know! LOL

More specifically *one way satellite* involves a phone line. I had *two way
satellite* for which I was completely phone line free ... and I loved it. I
was using Starband and if you are one who lives in the outer limits of
population you can't beat satellite because the only other thing you could
get is dialup phone line. My IP addy was fixed and my connection rocked.
However my sat modem died (I think that was the problem) LOL, and I can't
afford a new one at this time, I'm in a populated area now so I'm on high
speed cable! This rocks even better, it's faster, stronger and cheaper.

Did you try the autoconfigure utililty for AW? Whenever my connection got
messed up I'd use that and AW seems to have been able to find the connection
and log me in. Can you turn on the proxy setting in IE and then have your
sat connection use the IE configuration? That's how mine worked, but again
mine was *two way* cable, no phone line.

I absolutely agree with ya hun, I got my *free cit* in worlds for 3 mths, +1
for being an AWer LOL, and after that I just didn't go back. It's laggy to
load at start, every time ... or so it was for me.

AW has *alot* of potential. Competition is good because they can perhaps
branch out into areas other chats are trying ... AW is well established so
it should do pretty good in some of these *new ideas* we're seeing in other
3D chats. Take something as simple as real mirrors ... worlds has that and
that's one of their kewlest features I think! I'm told aw could do this with
ease and has had this ability for ages. I loved walking by mirrors in worlds
and watching my av as I did so LOL. Small things amuse me. Take being able
to use your own modeled or purchased avs in any world ... simple concept and
it is done in other 3D chats ... so why not aw? You'd all know it's me, not
just by my name but because of my own unique avs (which now have my RL face
on em LOL). I'd love to be able to visit other worlds and *be me* ...
perhaps make it at least an option? OK someone's gonna tell me this belongs
in wishlist so ... I'm posting to both LOL.

1) Realistic Mirrors
2) My own avs in any worlds

AerHawk (hubby) and I were discussing whether or not we should renew Aeon
since it's due in a coupla weeks. The resounding answer is YES. I've spent a
heap of time in aw, I've worked hard on my world (and the d/l time proves it
LOL) ... it's an intense world and I love it dearly. I'd have withdrawals if
I had to stop now, even for a short time! AW rocks, no if ands or buts about
it!

The End (for now)...

Would be nice to use our own too tho, not just limited to what aw has ...
sometimes they don't update for eons (ok well it seems so ... last update
for alphaworld objects was when? 2002ish?)! Submitting your *clothing
designs* could take a very long time for approval and I doubt aw has the
time or manpower for that. I would think they would put that onis on the
world owners? And if they do allow these kinds of avs, then they should also
give world owners the power to *strip offenders* ... placing them in the
default tourist av if they are abusive (So if someone comes into my world
and is 50 feet tall and stark naked, I can put him/her into a default
tourist av and keep them that way until I decide otherwise).

Another thing that's just got to be revamped is the avatars menu ... it
soooooooooo needs to be a scrollable drop down menu now! I'd also like to
see avs that can walk or ride up ramps steeper than 88.88 degrees. I have a
neat motorcycle av that I can't get to ride the inside of a vertical loop,
it gets stopped about 1/4 of the way around and even then it's not actually
ON the track anymore, the avs stays in the same position and doesn't
smoothly follow the contour of the loop (wheels on the track). Yes I know
about bump panels but they wouldn't work correctly and would not give the
desired effect.

As to av file size limit I think 56K is too small ... that's like an old aw
av size ... many of the av makers try to keep within that limit but there
are some avs that are 100K and well worth the loading. Perhaps have it so
world owners can pick from a range of sizes that they will allow in their
worlds? I would certainly allow 100K in my world, not a problem. The same
applies for taller, wider, etc avs.

I think the yellow checkmark is DUMB! If anything just don't show anything
on the list as online at all ... nada, nothing, blankerooooo. Whether or not
you show in the contacts has no bearing on communication anyway, even if
Lara's showing as a ? that only happens when she's online ... I see she's
online because the checkmark is there when she's online and not there if
she's offline ... so whatz that accomplish? I can gram her anyway. And Lara,
great to see ya posting ... good to know you are OK now n then LOL ...

Would be nice to have a bot that could stop nasty words from being seen, or
better yet make em purdy or symbols instead of showing the actual swear
words. And/or have a bot that can eject for such like the CA in awgate. And
yes, I know ... it words can be illuded to (masked) in many ways but still
to get the most offensive and/or versions on would be nice. It would be nice
if bots could eject for flooding as well ...

Thank you Tony M, et al. I did hope that Xelag's had such a filter as I use
them the most ... my 3 bot limit is used up with my X1s :o/ I did email
XeLaG and he tells me his bots can't eject for swearing. I'd love to see
that added, and maybe even a filter that like Tony's changes the words
before they are seen on the screen. I will d/l yours Tony ... but using it
means I can't use one of my other bot buddies LOL

Actually they do program bots ... they have their own bots. And at least one
