lol well being a kid 9 years ago is over half my life.. and i dont have any trouble at rmembering what i wore yesterday.. although what
i ate for dinner is another question....
i guess it depends on the person... im pretty good myself at remembering things like that.. and i can also remember maps pretty easily
too
whatever you use that head of yours for.. who really cares as long as you use it lol

ok WHY is aw STILL on beta? 3.1 has been
released.... i finally got my dad to get me a
world... if aw keeps doing this i wont know what
my world looks like the the new browser... im
beginning to question the wiseness of buying a
world when im not on beta

Apr 8, 2001, 3:19am

well what concerns me is what they will do in later versions... if they
DO do another closed beta im gonna have to have my bot eject people who
have the beta browser...

well right now i have the bot notifying people who enter... once i get the
bot hosted (if i ever do) ill make it so i can disable it when there are no
new big features, BUT if i had a world when aw was doing 3.1 do you realize
how different it would look to someone not on beta...?

save the telegrams of those ppws you need

it would be cool if in the rights dialogue if you
could put -[citnumber] to make rights available to
everyone EXCEPT that citizen... good if you have a
public building world but dont want certain people
to build... or if some people cant keep their
mouths shut-make them not able to speak.. also
would help in banning people..

i agree with him... if i want to change my name i should be able to change it.. although it is annoying when someone has changed their name and send you
a tgram-you have no clue who it is. i certainly wouldn't wanna spend 10 bucks every time i changed my name like i have to for worlds

you can get trial worlds with citizens from buying worlds... my cit(or the
expired one) was from someone elses world and one i have now is from mine
ive had a trial world and i can have 2 more if i wanted... but that would be
a waste right now... unless i wanted to test something
but if you REALLY want another trial do what my brother does... when yours
expires just buy a different one

it drives me nuts when imtrying to help 2 people
on opposite sides of my world
there shouldbe an option to decide how far ps can
see and howfar peoplecan see them
maybe even a global hearing radius option

Aug 6, 2001, 10:16pm

1. this really isnt nessecary. its easier to add
them once then type their name in every time
2. this would be cool but would make older
computers lag even more :\
3. cool would make it easier for cits to help them
learn how to build
4. no comment my computer is only 500mhz
5. HELL YEAH!
6. HELL YEAH!

i think that sums up my 2c

ok first off you broke 2 important rules:
number 1 you inserted a picture and it took me
forever to download... not only that it was GIF!
ive been there and its a nice place but i dojnt
think aw should change their gz thatmuch
it has been that way for as far as i can remember
and i dont think it should be changed even if it
is not all that good... if i remember right though
awgate didnt always look the way it did but my
memories way back then are pretty vague but if aw
would change their gz i think for abuildingworld
it should still be an "open air" area unlike that
picture next time make it a url i dont think
newsreaders can attach files so they dont appear
(ive tried attaching txt files and it did
samething yours did just made it part of the body)

the option is there SO you CAN limit howmuch
people can build yes people cancause lag no matter
what but is lag gonna be the same for allcelldata
limits? heck no! bylimiting the cell data limit
the only way people can lag isby overlapping and
using create animate me instead of just building a
big building i ahve it high in my world
becausemost people dontlike a low limit on howmuch
they canbuild... but if people use too
manytextures people canvote to have the build
removed-which is the downside i had to do because
some people will take advantage of it. i like
building in high cell data limit places but i cant
stand visiting them when it lags like hell. just
because the cell data limit ishighdoesnt mean it
WILL lag and just because its low doesnt meant it
WONT, but if its low theres less tendacy for lag
than when its high

im getting tired of the same old type and same old

should be able to decide the following things in
their world:
size/font/color for tourists
size/font/color for citizens
size/font/color for PS
and a new one size/font/color for caretaker

i downloaded 3.2 and the default was directx... i
couldnt even get software mode to work at all and
the other mode was way too slow

and i know im not in beta bnut the grid thing was
a good idea but how its used is very poor you
should be able to decide whether the grid overlaps
the objects or not... with the way it is now i
dont find it very useful at all

[View Quote]

Aug 28, 2001, 4:23am

well then those people who it starts off with
software mode by default probably dont have
directx... unless theyre installing for the first
time BUT it asks you what video mode you want when
you first run it so this person obviously didnt
pay attention to that
