Build 553 is available for beta users currently. It will become available to
everyone by tomorrow or at least within the next few days.

Fixed is the issue that telegrams sometimes were not displayed when logging
on to the universe, and no telegram notification were shown in the chat log.
Reason was that the universe sends queued telegrams right after the universe
logon, where it could happen that the user interface for the tab controls
were not yet created and initialized, in particular on slower systems. The
issue was introduced in 3.5 when the tab-controls were added.

Thank you,

Build 555 of the browser will become available later today. The following
fixes and changes are included:

* Fixed an issue with WinXP SP2, where the download window would flash.
* Fixed the user list to be displayed and updated correctly (see 1).
* The url argument of the media command now defaults to "http://" protocol,
in case no other protocol is specified.
* Fixed avatar pitch limits, if an object was selected and look up/down at
the toolbar was hit.
* Grey out popup menu items on the user list, if function is not available
for tourists or bots (see 1).
* Fixed crash-bug, that occured if IE was set to 'Global Offline'-mode
during startup of the embedded web-browser.

1) userlist is not available in the main universe, though.

Many thanks to everyone who helped finding these issues, in particular to
Andras, BCat, kf, Mauz, Strike Rapier, Tengel and Xelag.

This the list of changes from build 553 to 555.
553 was public release.
554 was available for a handful of testers for one week, including users
from another than the main universe.

The patch upgrades your browser from 553 to 555 directly.

Build 556 of the browser will become available in the next days.
Fixed is an issue which could lead to crashes if a web url would exceed a
length of 255 characters.

What you noticed has nothing to do with what you assumed at first. Take a
closer look at the rwx files, compare the transform statements and learn
that the objects in question differ in their sizes slighty.
I will initiate that these objects are been corrected.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi LNH,

The command you use refers to an object named 'radio'. If this object
becomes out of range, it will stop the media playing. The define media
radius of more than the maximum visibilitiy of 200 meters only affects the
decrease in volume in distance of the played media.
For a full description and to answer your other questions to the media
command you might want to look up
http://www.activeworlds.com/help/aw36/media_command.html.

Enjoy and have fun :)
Chris

Look at the "nostart" argument for forwarding a stream from one sign to
another. The "name" argument is not very helpful for these purposes.

1) start a stream
Create sign "Click to start"; active media url=http://my.radio.com:8080
radius=50

2) continue the the same stream, distance to the 1st sign less than 50m
create media url=http://my.radio.com:8080 radius=50 nostart

2) continue the the same stream, distance to the 2nd sign less than 50m
create media url=http://my.radio.com:8080 radius=50 nostart

and so on. You may want to keep the volume at 100% within the given path
following the media-signs by setting radius=200 .

I hope that helps,
Chris

Hello,

Build 567 of the browser will be available shortly. It includes the the
changes listed at http://www.activeworlds.com/help/aw36/aw36.html .

Thanks to many of you for pointing out potential issues, which helped a
great deal to improve the system again.

Forward looking to the '4th Generation',

You can use XelaG's SEQ File Viewer to repair the animation sequences in
AWTeen. Open the seq files and it will tell you what is wrong with them.
Save them, you're done :-)

Please, check all other animation sequences in AWTeen too. You probably will
find
more 'corrupted' seqs.

Btw, these invalid seqs were a cause for crashes back in version 3.4 and
ealrier. These crashing bugs were fixed with 3.5 in Jan 2004, but the
artifacts caused by missing animation frames remained ... that's all ancient
history today ;-)

Chris

Dear world owners,

Please check your avatars.dat files of your worlds now. With the upcoming
build 568 avatars.dat will be checked for a proper file header. For detailed
description and an example please refer to the newsgroup Worldbuilders
"Version header in avatars.dat" posted a week ago.

Most worlds already have valid file header for avatars.dat. These who did
not check it yet, please do it now before build 568 will be released next
week.

Other changes in build 568:

* Fixed contact list not working correctly after several subsequent
reconnections, relogins or privilege password changes.
* Force a browser restart when desktop resolution changed. This can also
occur when screensavers in 'exclusive 3D mode' are used.

Thanks,
Chris

We get many applications to join the beta team for the upcomong version
daily.

At this time, in phase 1 and 2 of the 4.1 beta cycle, no further
applications will be accepted.

Bellow you find a brief description of the planned beta phases, for your
information.
Changes to the plan and the schedule for this beta cycle may be applied at
any time.

Phase 1:

Everyone who already is within the beta team is welcome to have a first look
into 4.1. Use this time to get informed about the new features, the changes,
and the new possibilities.


Phase 2:

The actual beta tests start, where we shall work together to get everything
well-running and stable, just as we it did for the last version a good year
ago. :-)


Phase 3:

Opening the beta for a wider audience, including members of the differnt
interest-groups in the whole universe. I was thinking that each group could
send one or two members over to 4.1.


Phase 4:

Final beta, most likely a short period of public beta.


The dates when the phases will start, will be announced seperately.


Thanks for your interest in the upcoming version,

The texture mask "pleaf1m.bmp" appears to be a 32bit format, RGB + alpha channel.
Renderware supports 24bit bitmaps, no alpha channel.

"The toolkit provides reading and writing functions for the BMP image format.

BMP stands for Bitmap, and is a standard Microsoft Windows image format. Supports
paletted, 24 bit RGB color, and greyscale images. This format does not support alpha
channels."
