[View Quote] In the nonpersonal sense, yes. "I name that a baseball" not "My name is
Frankie." The two are not one in the same and nombre is not the right
word to use to describe how you are called, thus, llamar.

[View Quote] AW isn't full of people period. The people who want to vandelize can't
dish out $70. Nor will $70 go unnoticed on stolen credit cards.

The only problem AW's denizens have with the move and such commands is
that they destroy the "classic" feel. To which I say, who cares, you're
not forced to use them. Boo hoo, you don't like to rotate a fan? Well
use astart commands. Maybe you'd all like just CY and a room full of
PP01's and whatever the floors were with a mailbox as your only objects.
I don't know, it just seems stupid not to turn on all the features on
the flagship of this universe. It's the only thing left that they have
short of AWTeen and AWGate. Unless RPGs are up your ally -- which you
definately wouldn't be paying money for this if that was your sole passion.

[View Quote] Object properties are also used in cell calculation.

The current method needs to be revamped -- and an option for world
owners to have an unlimited cell size. (also for browsers to control
the max polygon per scene, just in case some wacko's decide they need
200,000,000 polygon sized objects everywhere) Afterall, Users pay for
their world they should have control over what goes in there. And
people know their hardware, so if they know they can't handle more than
1 million polygons, they should have control over that.

Why should object descriptions and actions be part of the cell size?
Also, there does need to be an object change feature. So that you can
change an object that's currently in a full cell. I know I've needed it
multiple times in public worlds.

I do believe roger wilco offers the ability to integrate with existing

We need splines.

Something like this in the RWX:

#!Spline

ModelBegin
ProtoBegin spline1
Vertex -1 0 1 UV 0 4 #! prelight .5 .5 .5
Vertex 1 0 1 UV 4 4
Vertex 1 0 -1 UV 4 0
Vertex -1 0 -1 UV 0 0
Texture mcement5
TextureModes Foreshorten Lit
Quad 1 2 3 4
ProtoEnd
ProtoBegin spline2
Vertex -.01 0 .01 UV 0 4
Vertex .01 0 .01 UV 4 4
Vertex .01 0 -.01 UV 4 0
Vertex -.01 0 -.01 UV 0 0
Texture null
TextureModes Foreshorten Lit
Quad 1 2 3 4
ProtoEnd
ClumpBegin
spline1
spline2
ClumpEnd
ModelEnd

This would then allow for the browser to spline an object and fit it the
world dynamically (terrain and other objects). I think this would be a
great thing to have -- you could also have a world option to
automatically spline objects so that they, as a whole, would fall down
completely (would mess up a lot of builds). Since it's browser side,
turning it on and off wouldn't mess up it's actual location (like for
propdumps) so turning it on and off wouldn't destroy buildings.

I think this is a must have idea, thanks to Baro for the part of the RWX
and such. ;)

[View Quote] No, the internet has changed all of that. Now since you can order games
online, there's no way to enforce it. Now, buying the game is a
different story, most likely the Duty officials will confisicate it.

As for distrubuting the product physically in Germany, I don't believe
the blood/gore rule applies. I think you're talking about the
NAZI/Swastika law in games -- which is why Day of Defeat is the way it
is. Not to mention that Germany has one of the top Counter-Strike
players in the world, so obviously they got a game with blood/gore in it
somehow.

In 99% of games on the market, you can turn it off.

Well most people don't realize that gravity isn't a pull, but a bending
of space-time. So you have to simulate the bend (Which happens to be a
pull in most cases -- which is what we can best simulate). So basically
everything that's allowed would have to move towards that object. It
can be done... but it'd takes some seriuos testing and a completely
revamped physics engine. In AW's case I'm guessing it's going to be
processor intensive.

I am in no way a physicist. Any views on gravity I have may be proven
wrong in the future. As far as I've heard, Hawkings agrees with me at
this point in time.

Dec 16, 2003, 10:18pm

[View Quote] Well gravitational forces so minute are usually ignored. I think the
purpose was to allow for objects to "land" on other objects and for
people to be able to stand on moving objects... etc.

True rail guns accelerate matter close to the speed of light. Well,
they're supposed to. People call things that use magnetic fields to
propel items rail guns.
