Get into the holiday Spirit. Bring back tourist building in Alpha World!Dec 9, 2004, 4:49pm
No need for that, free protected tourist building is available in Tourist
World Go to "tourist" or telegram/email me for more information or to request some building space. Note: It would be a very nice christmas gesture if AW were to look at my citizen project application again and accept it (or at least talk about it properly rather than just rejecting it). I'm running out of space! -LtB- [View Quote] Get into the holiday Spirit. Bring back tourist building in Alpha World!Dec 10, 2004, 12:02pm
Sheesh guys, why are you so closed-minded? Do you not realise that some of
us cannot afford to register, and thus find themselves persecuted by other tourists and/or citizens? I have no problem with tourist builds in other worlds being unprotected. I do however have a problem with tourist builds being VANDALISED just for the sake of vandalism. I wouldnt have so much of a problem if builds were completely deleted to make way for new builds, but I feel that tourists need protection for their builds. Gawd, I'm just trying to provide a service. What is wrong with that? I am not in breach of any AW regulations by advertising my world, so if you have a problem with that, it's simple. Dont visit the world if you dont like it. Remember - tourists are people as well as you. They're equal, so treat them as equals please. Brenton out. -LtB- [View Quote] Get into the holiday Spirit.

I never said "screw alphaworld" I just said that if people wanted to build
and have their builds protected, they could come to Tourist. I've been here for a while now, and ever since I started Tourist as a 3D homepage, I've met nothing but opposition and people bent on destroying me. As a matter of fact, I am seriously considering not renewing my cit/world when they run out. Then you can just go and pick on someone else trying to help.

I must say I'm anti-sport hunting in RL. Hunting when you intend to eat
what you kill, is fine in my opinion. However, hunting just for the sport is wrong. I have no problem with hunting worlds in VR, we must remember that: AW Is Not Real. Do what you like with worlds, just nothing sick. -=LtB=- [View Quote] VoiceJun 1, 2005, 6:13pm
YEAH!!
Add a function to the SDK where it can log a bot in as an actual citizen (i.e. name/pass) and be able to access cit-specific stuff (grams, cit settings etc). Then let all the genius programmers take it from there. -=LtB=- [View Quote] VoiceJun 4, 2005, 12:03pm
Uhh, I thought Active Worlds was AWI's flagship universe.
So why is AW running an inferior version? o_O -=LtB=- [View Quote] Maximum FPSJul 12, 2005, 12:26pm
Taken off a random website I found on Google:
"The human eye can actually see *way* past 200fps (it has been military tested). It is a common misconception that it is much lower because of film only being 25fps. Film has motion blur, games (normally!) do not. 120fps can 'feel' better than 60 despite people telling you otherwise. The issue with how many fps the eye can percive is complex and really I think the other answer is more what you are asking. when you reach 10/15 fps in a fast paced game it becomings very difficult to do anything because of the video lag you get. It is incredibly frustrating and not desirable at all. If you can get 200fps in an empty room, you've got a good chance of getting a decent fps in a room full of people, rockets, gibs, etc etc." ---- There is no actual limit to the FPS the eye can see, as the eye constantly refreshes the image it sees, pixel by pixel. This happens countless trillions of times per second. Film is actually projected at 28 frames per second, not 25fps. I find 48fps to be a good smooth framerate, whereas 30fps is still a bit jerky for my liking. FS2004 runs best for me at about 48-64fps. -=LtB=- PS: Sorry about the font size going down, something to do with the post I pasted in here X_X [View Quote] Individual avatar speedOct 20, 2005, 8:53am
*sigh*
In a vacuum, two objects when dropped fall at exactly the same speed, regardless of mass. So unless you're thinking of putting wind resistance in as well, there'd be no point adding weight. ^_^ -=LtB=- [View Quote] A few requests.Nov 16, 2005, 1:38pm

You got the main variable types: int char char[] string string[] bool vector list OK, I'm guessing that everyone knows most of those. List is declared like this: list myList; and can be used to store multiple values, e.g.=20 list myList =3D (/* note the square brackets */["String value 1" | 201 | = "String value 2" ]); // this list holds 3 variables and can // be accessed independently with myList.1, mylist.2, mylist.3 etc Vectors are declared with: vector myVector; and assigned values like this: myVector =3D <1,2,3>; //note the < > around the values, so that it will = not be confused for multiple arguments when used in a method Cell data limits would have to be removed, as there is actually no need = for them anyway. In the action box, to declare a script you would start = it with <?script and end with ?>. Eventually I'd like to see something = similar to SL's object inventory, where you can create and upload = AWScripts from an external editor. I'm gonna post an example "vehicle" script here <?script // Example vehicle script event script_start() { awSay("I am a vehicle.

That's the difference between char, char[], string, and string[]. -LtB [View Quote] > array in this crazy language you've come up with? >=20 201 |=20 >=20 > To fit in with current programming languages it would be best to use=20 > brackets { } to define a list, as well as use a comma as a deliniator. >=20 will=20 need=20 start=20 something=20 >=20 > Im sure theres a reason, as they wouldnt just add it for no good = reason,=20 > and then improve it after implementation for another no good reason. >=20 the=20 "sit" seq. of=20 arrow=20 on=20 engine=20 >=20 > Have fun with that, scripting is one of the harder things to do when=20 > programming. >=20 > -Joe >=20 it have astart a ------=_NextPart_000_0087_01C6201A.809D5170 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.2802" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>OK, the differences are as = follows</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>char[] - A character array. = Contains one or=20 more Unicode characters.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>For example:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#008000 = size=3D2><?script</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff size=3D2><FONT = color=3D#000000><FONT=20 color=3D#0000ff>char</FONT></FONT><FONT color=3D#000000>[]=20 stringdump;</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff size=3D2>string <FONT=20 color=3D#000000>mystring;</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff size=3D2><FONT = color=3D#000000><FONT=20 color=3D#0000ff>char</FONT></FONT><FONT color=3D#000000>[]=20 DumpString2Char(</FONT><FONT color=3D#0000ff>string </FONT><FONT=20 color=3D#000000>toDump)</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>{<BR> <FONT=20 color=3D#0000ff>char</FONT><FONT color=3D#000000>[] = buffer;</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV> <FONT face=3DArial size=3D2><FONT=20 color=3D#0000ff>for</FONT>(<FONT color=3D#0000ff>int</FONT> i =3D = 0;i<=3D<FONT=20 color=3D#800000>strlen</FONT>(mystring);i++)<BR> =20 {<BR> buffer[i] =3D (<FONT=20 color=3D#0000ff>char</FONT>)<FONT color=3D#800000>substr</FONT><FONT=20 color=3D#000000>(toDump, i, = i);<BR> }<BR> =20 </FONT><FONT color=3D#0000ff>return </FONT><FONT=20 color=3D#000000>buffer;</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>}</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>stringdump =3D = DumpString2Char("howdy");</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#008000 size=3D2>?></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>This now returns a character = array.

There is also C#, which uses string, string[] char and char[]. TCHAR and
CString are C++. I use C# for all my programming. DumpString2Char() is one example of a function, similar to the .NET ToCharArray() No, I assure you I am perfectly within my mind.

Yeah, but when I see threads about AW4 I tend to go nuts and get annoyed
when they're "joke" threads. Seriously, is AW4 close to being released? -LtB- [View Quote] Get into the holiday Spirit. Bring back tourist building in Alpha World!Dec 9, 2004, 4:49pm
No need for that, free protected tourist building is available in Tourist
World Go to "tourist" or telegram/email me for more information or to request some building space. Note: It would be a very nice christmas gesture if AW were to look at my citizen project application again and accept it (or at least talk about it properly rather than just rejecting it). I'm running out of space! -LtB- [View Quote] Get into the holiday Spirit. Bring back tourist building in Alpha World!Dec 10, 2004, 12:02pm
Sheesh guys, why are you so closed-minded? Do you not realise that some of
us cannot afford to register, and thus find themselves persecuted by other tourists and/or citizens? I have no problem with tourist builds in other worlds being unprotected. I do however have a problem with tourist builds being VANDALISED just for the sake of vandalism. I wouldnt have so much of a problem if builds were completely deleted to make way for new builds, but I feel that tourists need protection for their builds. Gawd, I'm just trying to provide a service. What is wrong with that? I am not in breach of any AW regulations by advertising my world, so if you have a problem with that, it's simple. Dont visit the world if you dont like it. Remember - tourists are people as well as you. They're equal, so treat them as equals please. Brenton out. -LtB- [View Quote] Get into the holiday Spirit.

I never said "screw alphaworld" I just said that if people wanted to build
and have their builds protected, they could come to Tourist. I've been here for a while now, and ever since I started Tourist as a 3D homepage, I've met nothing but opposition and people bent on destroying me. As a matter of fact, I am seriously considering not renewing my cit/world when they run out. Then you can just go and pick on someone else trying to help.

AWRPG DiscriminationDec 16, 2004, 8:34am
I agree with Rossyboy here. AWRPG is a company world, since it begins with
AW. This gives me more incentive to leave AW, permanently. I find that AW's attitude in general is dismal, and they seem to be bent on doing nothing else other than get money out of people. They can say that AW is "the 3D Internet", but I've seen far better virtual worlds. http://www.there.com for instance I think that the reason nobody seems to be doing anything in AWRPG is because it would be effort for no financial gain. Or, the big cheese up top is a homophobe himself. LtBrenton signing off. Permanently. -LtB-ye! [View Quote] Tourist World now closedDec 24, 2004, 9:26am
Due to AW being complete gits about tourist building, and the constant
deletion that happens in my world, it is no longer used for tourist building. Just remember this - abuse it, you lose it. You abused it, you lost it. LtBrenton out. RIP Tourist World, 2004-2004 |
