Yes I've tried it but the problem there is they use a bot function up. That
leaves me only two bots in world where now I have three. Besides, why can't
it be a serverside function? Inquiring minds wanna know LOL.

Speaking of AdminBot tho, is it 4.1 compatible? Will it save particles,
movers, zones, etc?

That's the way it is now anyway (she sent me a propdump today so I have the
latest but had she not of I could have started with one a few days older).
The server would have autosaved the dumps to my computer as it saw the new
objects. If the servers did an autosave (for whichever server was running)
then we'd all have the same thing because the server would see all objects
and save new dumps accordingly.

Well I was saying even if my backup server runs on older dumps that would be
better than no server, no worlds, at all! We interchange dumps anyway, as a
safeguard, and all world owners should do that for safekeeping. But if the
world server on her end backs up daily then even if it does go offline she's
got the most recent propdumps (within 24 hours say). Then my server kicks in
cause hers went off for whatever reason, so I'm on older dumps ... better
that than no worlds at all.

My two main ideas are that 1) the server backs up dumps automatically, say
every 24 hours ... I don't get why the manual backup when it could be done
automatically at set intervals. I personally make so many changes in a day
that I'd want mine backing up every 24 hours (at least during this *new 4.1
learning curve*; and 2) have a backup server start when your primary goes
down.

I can't see why servers can't be webbased or accessed via the web, there's
no reason why I shouldn't be able to get online, pick a server location and
have autodumps occur ... heck I have this ability on my own domain space
where I host my OP. I just can't use it because aw's server isn't capable.
Those of us that have our own worlds have a host and most have MySQL & PHP
abilities as part of their packages. Heck we had this ability in 2d chats
where we'd have access to our servers from our webhost. We had start/stop
buttons on the PHP pages and could fire up a server if it went down, etc. No
autobackups, but that would be doable too.

I'm pretty sure the uni server is set up to at least be started via web
(MySQL or PHP or however) so why not world servers? The uni server is in one
place isn't it? But I know that more than one person can and has
stopped/started it. They have the technology :o}

From what I understand PAVs will be something you pay to be allowed to use.
You could use your own (it would get u/l to uni server) but you can only use
one, low-poly preferred I'm sure (something along the filesize and vert/poly
of regular aw avs). You will have to keep your PAV g-rated because it will
be allowed in any world that allows PAVs which means any rating of world
that allows it.

If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me LOL

I'm having a "blurring" problem in build 490 (beta 3.4 browser). At my
alphaworld lot, my grass looks blurred now, but didn't in previous builds of
which I've used 483, 485, 486 & 487. In previous builds it looked somewhat
sparkly, as did all the trees, etc. Now all are rather blurred and not
nearly as nice looking as before.

Also in 490, all wall pix and signs have horizontal, vertical or diagonal
lines in them. You have to get right up close to them for this effect to
fade. I did not have this problem in previous betas I've tested either.

Sorry to post this here, I tried to post to beta list but was denied access.
If someone would forward there I would appreciate it. My alphaworld build is
at 599s 396e facing NW. that whole side of Lady NightHawk Ln has been built
on. The front area has a sign on the corner, follow LNH Ln down (NorthWest)
to get to a building I'm working on, inside that building is the wall pix
where you will see the effect I'm talking about ... again I'm on build 490.

Thanks for reading...

I have a couple of friends who own macs, they are interested in checking out

peacekeeper machelp page (which according to them is somewhat outdated for
Jan 2002). My question is, are there ANY mac users in these ngs that are
using aw? Or are mac people in aw just a myth? I would appreciate hearing

I'm learning the art of raw RWX editing LOL. I loaded up a megapath
sign3.rwx in editpad, and with alot of help from Starheart, made *new* signs
(more compressed) and picture boxes. I have one sign (for text), one sign
(for pix), one six-sided box (for text) and one six-sided box for pix. I'd
be happy to give these away if anyone would like them! You can come to my
world (coords below) and click the *email me* sign to request them...

I've also submitted them (and four cob chairs, which Count Dracula converted
to rwx) to Freebies world if you'd like to see them there ... or come to my
world Aeon to this location ( 8.71N 16.35W 0.02a 82 ) and have a look! You
many not like my choice of texture and mask but being made from free
objects, well you *fix em* to your liking! Be aware these are "framed"
objects, not just flat boxes or signs.

I'd like to thank Starheart for taking time to *mentor* me, your help is
very much appreciated!!!

I'm sure there will be criticisms LOL, but hey ... I had to start somewhere
right? Hugzzz...

I just created an Ice Skating pond in my Winter Wonderland area ... is there
any way to have folks *slide in a figure 8 pattern* when on the ice (without
a bot I mean)? Info is appreciated!!!

How would that be done? The ice pond is small but square in shape so I could
do bumps on all four sides of it, or each of the panels used for ice could
be a warp but what would be the actions? Thanks in advance...

OK mass confusion here LOL (as I suspected). I have a small pond of only 9
panels (pp00 kind). Now, I do have a middle one and if I'm facing the back
of the pond (standing at the front steps) I number them from...

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

I have ALT text in each one, #5 is the middle one. I assume that would be
the center of the crazy-8 pattern.

As far as changing world coords, I gather I could just mark the middle of
each panel as I stand on it, as a teleport, then right click in teleports to
get the coords ... saves me from changing GZ some 10x LOL.

So back to the pond. Is there no way to do an action that will cause the
"skater" to do a looped crazy-8 patterned slide by bumping into (rather
onto) panel #5? Or do I have to set each panel as a bump to the next? I'm
thinking that just going from one panel to the next will look rather *jerky*
won't it? Gonna be tricky to figure out which is the trigger panel and which
one leads to the next no?

LOL ... claims *newbie status* ... thanks again!

Warps would make the standard *teleport nose* too, not sure I want that in a

panel to another ... quietly? More help please!?

OK, so as I said previously ... I've used a bump warp from one panel
(actually mine are manholes LOL) to the next to have the *look* of skating
in a figure 8 pattern. The manholes are laid down in a figure 8 pattern on
the ice and when you bump on it takes you to the next and the next and so
on. However, as I said, this looks rather jerky. The manholes are relatively
close together, maybe spaced about two manholes distant from one another.
What I did notice is that aw (alphaworld) and maybe aw in general does not
like bumpable items that are too close to each other, if they are you are
suddenly stopped and would have to move the conflicting panels. I'm assuming
alphaworld is still 3.3 as I don't see underground water or skybox or any of
the kewl 3.4 features?

At any rate, the *skate* works but again is rather jerky! If someone could
help me smooth that out I'd appreciate it! My rink is at aw 13446.52S
13283.58E 1.16a 90 and I have an *ice pond* in my world at aeon 12.79N
14.22E 0.01a 224 . I have a couple of avatar objects sliding back and forth
here but no *skating* of your avs as yet. Also in my world's ice pond, be
forwarded that there are two songs they will auto d/l as soon as you bump
the panels which are located at each of the stairs ... meaning, if you don't
want to d/l em don't walk down either set of steps! You may actually auto
d/l them but if you avoid the steps you won't have to play them LOL.

If you come to Aeon, be prepared for heavy d/l ... you might want to set
your vis to 60 on enter!

Thanks for your help everyone!!!

When my aw browser crashes, and it does alot (yes, even after I completely
delete my cache, and yes I just did the recent upgrade), I should NOT have
to red/l every single item in a world all over ago (unless of course I did
delete my cache which is not related to a crash since the cache still
exists). What the heck good is a cache if it doesn't remember items
previously seen and d/l?

D/Ls in my world are enormous whether at GZ or at my landing zone (that I
moved from GZ due to the huge d/l). Even still it's quite a wait and no one
does actually wait before leaving the landing zone to go to GZ. Nor will
visitors stay long due to enormous d/ls. So what is one to do, have a naked
GZ, which doesn't spark any interest in your world either?

My beef is this ... for me float = 110 meters (approx). Why o why does aw
have the standard set at float??? Why not have float = 30 meters if you must
make float the standard??? People should have more control over WHAT they
d/l in any world don't you think? Can't you make float=30 meters instead of
100 which can be enormous d/l ... especially for those on dialup?!

Or perhaps make it so a user can make the choice of what is minimum d/l (in
meters) from the Options menu? Something other than forcing a d/l of a min
of 100 meters per world? And yes, I know that you can set (if your lucky and
really fast) the vis to whatever as soon as you enter, but not everyone
knows this, especially not tourists of which I get many. AW, can you fix
this?

LNH

Oct 30, 2003, 11:11pm

OK to clarify ... I do know about the following settings:
Client: Options, Settings
Perfomance tab, Visibility
Frame rate at 30 frames per sec.
and "don't let visiblity drop below" is set to 30.
Server: Options, World, Features
General section, "Minimum Visibility" is set to 30 also!

With that in mind I wanted to try to determine what my Float equaled, I did
this ... delete
your cache, come into your, or any other, world and stay still (as in Don't
MOVE) at GZ
until you've loaded everything. Then once you've loaded everything, and
still not moving, up
your vis to 30 (see if you d/l more), 40 (see if you d/l more), 50 (see if
you d/l more), 60
(see if you d/l more), etc, until you notice at some point you are beginning
to d/l more.

For me that point is 110 meters, at that point I begin to d/l more ... thus
Float = 100 -
110 meters for me. Now I know you can enter a world and immediately set yer
vis to 30 or 60
but you have to remember to do that ... and Float is meant for that purpose,
or so I
understand it ... otherwise why have a Float at all!?

Perhaps, as it has been pointed out to me, AW's idea of "Float" is different
from what I
think it is. To AW "Float" may mean to "float between the min / max
settings" or it may mean
"float the d/l according to pc ability, or even connection speed". Whatever
their
definition, it still stands to my reason that "Float" should at least be
determined by the
settings you have set in your browser ... should it not? This is not the
case for me anyway,
and I consider it a bug! Just my thoughts!
