[View Quote] I knew C++ before you finished your little VB escapades. So, if I
really wanted, I could. You want me to make a VB bot, VB.NET bot, C++
bot, C++.NET bot, C++ with GTK, C++ with MFC, the choice is yours.

But everyone and their mother has made a bot similar to yours, so there
really is no point.

[View Quote] No real point now. Whenever you want to be the bigger man and admit
that not even you are perfect, then I can do it for ya. *shrug* pull an
Eep.

[View Quote] Nothing new. I don't rule everything, but I can do things better than him.

[View Quote] You're wrong. Motion pictures are nothing more than a bunch of images
stuck together to form motion, hence the name. The black lines
surrounding them tell our eyes "hey this is a new frame". They are
exactly like what the TV stations were, except in AW they're much, much
slower than what they are in real life. The faster the images are
presented, the more fluid the motion. But if you take a film and slow
it down to 2 frames a second, you'd get pretty much the same thing you
see in AW.

Try it, get an old projector and slow it down.

[View Quote] Try again. Cinema and/or television is basically a "photo album" as you
so eloquently put it. The TV stations in AW flow in a constant motion,
it's just quite a bit slower. If I take, let's say, Blade, and slow it
down to 3 frames per second and link it to an image, and then throw it
on a TV object with an update=3, then it works just the same. It's just
slow motion picture.

[View Quote] The problem is, it's the same principle. Video, in any form, is still a
collection of still images.

[View Quote] No it's not totally different. Changing the color of an object isn't
streaming anything. Unless, of course, you're actually determining the
pixels of each.

A motion _picture_ is still a collection of frames. Frames are
pictures, therefore they are the same. I guess you could throw this
under a polymorphism debate. A motion picture is a motion picture, but
it's also a collection of individual pictures. You can express it as
both and be technically correct.

Take a frame of a video, that's a picture is it not? Move to the next,
still a picture isn't it? Now if you were to assemble the frames into a
different layout, what would it be? A collection. Huzzah for semantics.

[View Quote] Well, I hardly doubt AWI placed the restrictions in their software per
se, but were just stating that video cards from that era weren't really
supporting anything higher.

Usually developers/multimedia designers read this stuff and design
accordingly, so I'm sure it wasn't really a problem.

I'd think you could take pre3.0 browsers and (if allowed) go into AW and
probably see all the objects normally. That is, if you were using a
current-day video card.

[View Quote] That's right, I think I remember something beind side that all textures
were resized to a square form.

[View Quote] Well when your time is loose, you know.

[View Quote] I chuckled when I saw it, then even more when you said this.

[View Quote] I'd probably have to be on a different IDE channel to make any
difference to the AW Cache. Most people share the same channel for a
second hard drive.

[View Quote] I wet my pants in connection to the beta group.

[View Quote] They eject people they don't like. Also, since they can't mute, they
eject people they don't want to listen to.

That's all I've gathered for the reasons for eject with them.

[View Quote] Nothing wrong with hex editing a file. They'd be idiots to try and do
anything about it. They'd get laughed out of court.

[View Quote] Isn't there a 90degree angle road? That would be perfect for curved ones.
