If this is implimented or not (I now hear that it would be very difficult to
do so) I am just trying to figure out how the active worlds browser can view
more than eight light sources again. It's really bugging me, quite
frankily. I don't know if anyone else agrees, but lighting really changes
the environment you are in. It is extremely limiting to only be able to use
eight light sources. I would like to use openGL which allows me to see all
light sources, but it doesn't work with AW 3.4 and above, and I can't find
any new openGL drivers to get on the opengl site.

You can also see unlimited light sources in OpenGL. Could anyone find me a
site where I can download an up-to-date openGL driver? It seems that the
downloads page on opengl.com has been taken down.

Well, I DO think that Alpha World needs to have a larger cell limit (cell
limit set to large, like in AWTeen, perhaps?) We can't keep holding back
the potential of Active Worlds' main building worlds simply because a few
people don't have newer computers. The price went up to $70 a year, equal
to that of much higher quality MMORPGs, so why not raise the bar as well?

You can do Ctrl+Enter to add space above and below the line, so all text can
stay on one line (if it still is more than one line, keep adding more space
above and below the line using Ctrl+Enter)

No it doesn't. if you evenly put a space above and below, it doesn't
off-center it. that's what I said >,< I do it all the time to make text
smaller.

I guess I don't understand what you are trying to ask then.

The command could be "create opacity" then put any value between 0 and 1
after that, 1 being visible, and 0 being invisible.

Mar 27, 2004, 6:37am

What?

So it appeals to the AW amish, who are the only reason why AW remains so
outdated.

I would not really feel retro if I had to experience all the disadvantages
of it. Let's feel like it's the '60s again by hiding under our desks during
nuclear drills! If you ask me, that's going the wrong way. If someone
wants to feel retro, then they would want to experience some of the *good*
things that came with the past.

I completely agree with the builderz is saying. But also, we NEED more
people who can realize this, we need more people ranting about this. It
seems that AWI doesn't really care to listen to a small number of peons
anway. What ever happened to those times when protagonist would hang out in
AWGZ and answer people's questions? AW is going downhill, and AWI hasn't
shown us that everything will be fine.

Hey! I like my Hotep av thank you very much =P

MrGrimm asked me "Why are you so obsessed with Alpha World?"

I have a few reasons. It's sheer size, for one. It's the only world large
enough that allows you to build a town almost limitlessly. It's Active
Worlds' flagship world. This world USED to be all of Active Worlds. A
world of this size was made for keeping an online community together as
well. When AWI decided to put more emphasis on private worlds, there went
the community. They got tired of how Alpha World was being neglected, so
they went off to private worlds. And rick, don't tell me that active
worlds isn't intended to be a community like what you said sometime last
november. It says on the main page "The Active Worlds Universe is a
community."

Look at AWTeen, and all the attention it is getting. Why can't the flagship
world of Active Worlds have that same attention? What about an object
submission program for Alpha World? What about an active staff? I'm just
saying, if people really want a community again, then more focus needs to be
put back on Alpha World.

Mar 31, 2004, 3:32am

Ugh at you all completely missing the point of my post. This isn't about
AWTeen, this is about the potential Alpha World has.

Apr 1, 2004, 5:37am

I actually like Rossyboy's idea :P I don't see what's so wrong about it.

Apr 1, 2004, 6:32am

AWI, don't disappoint us with this one.

Apr 13, 2004, 7:02am

That's what "float" is.

Apr 14, 2004, 5:18am

actually lag has everything to do with connection speed. you just have your
definition of lag screwed up ;) they are talking about frame rate, which is
completely unrelated to lag. I keep correcting them on this whenever I have
the chance.

slow frame rates isn't lag though. it just skips to the next frame, keeping
up with however fast you are turning.

Apr 21, 2004, 2:36am

It's internet terminology.

It specifically refers to slow internet speeds, sometimes due to a server
problem, but more frequently due to a connection between client and server.
"Low Frame Rate" is not a correct use of the internet terminology "lag."
Just because it happens to be used that way Active Worlds does not mean that
it is being used correctly. It's a bad word to describe low frame rate,
since the frames don't "lag" behind. they just get less frequent and more
spaced apart. True "lag" in low frame rates would be someone with lower
frame rates going slower through the 3d world's "time" than someone with a
faster frame rate.

I suggested a similar idea a few weeks ago, though I don't think it should
be that fixed. I think it should be more like "(certain amount of money)
taken off your subscription payments for each citizen you refer" It's a
common business practice. I don't see why AWI won't adopt it.

Apr 16, 2004, 4:50am

Exactly, Ry. I don't see how people could manipulate the system. Give us
your theory, Starfleet. It's a common business practice that works, like I
previously stated.

Actually, there are gravity differences all over earth, but it's minimal.

red shift. stars with the same elements going through fission are more red
than our star.
[View Quote]

Apr 21, 2004, 2:23am

The red shift has to do with the velocity in relation to your position of
objects around you. as objects move away, they get more red, and as they get
closer, they get more blue. if they aren't moving at all, then they appear
to be their normal color.
It's not like we have *no* idea about what's going on in the universe. We
have a few ideas about what is going on based on evidence we've recorded.
One theory is that the universe is expanding right now, and eventually the
constant gravitational pull will cancel out the expansion force, and start
pulling everything together, or "The Big Crunch." Another theory is that
the gravity will become too weak too quickly as the stellar objects expand,
so the universe will just keep expanding forever.

I do think they should be able to freely build in alpha world, with the risk
of their builds getting deleted. many tourists subscribed because of the
frustration of them having their whole town deleted in alpha world. There
isn't enough time to build a whole tourist down in crowded AWTeen, so when
your builds get deleted, the frustration is less, so you just start up
another small build as a tourist.

Apr 17, 2004, 5:18am

Why are you even concerned about AW if you left for good anyway?

Apr 18, 2004, 5:55am

So, syntax was right :P

For young active worlds users with overprotective parents who want to view
their chat log to make sure they aren't doing something questionable. It
will be passworded so the young active worlds user can't edit the log file.
