another 3.4 user setting for the browser optionsMar 7, 2003, 6:52am
I wish there was a way to make the water not vanish when you select an
object or the terrain. I don't like guessing where the waters surface is at when I want to put something on the water like a boat. Some may like the water vanishing and some may not. So maybe just make it a user controlled setting in the browser options. Ex. Water vanish when selecting objects yes or no. another 3.4 user setting for the browser optionsMar 7, 2003, 10:28am

Ctrl + c will copy
Ctrl + v will paste But still I agree it would be nice if we could right click in the chat to access these. [View Quote] video test featureMar 13, 2003, 5:50pm
To help users config the active worlds browser to run good on there
computer. Can it be made to do on 1st run a video test on each video mode then telling you what mode your computer will run best on. You can still pick what ever one you want, but this test will tell you know what one will work best for you. Many 3D video games do this. video test featureMar 17, 2003, 5:20pm
Why make it optional there is no reason for it to be that way.
This will only pop up once at 1st run, the user still has full control over what they want to use, it just tells you what will be best, its up to the user to agree or not and pick what ever they want. This test will stop all the users from complaining saying this world lags me or this area lags me. Most lag is either caused by using the wrong video mode, using a PC that don't meat the recommended requirements, or being around objects with a high poly/vert count.

Your not seeing what I am talking about.
It wont disconnect anyone at all. To run this test it wont even let you log in yet. This test will run just before it lets you log in and only on the first run not each log in. It will then tell you what video mode it recommends you use and still list the others, it's still up to the user what mode they choose at this point agree with the recommended and use it or choose another. After they choose it will then let the user log in. One game off the top of my head that has this type of video test is Diablo 2 if you have that game, if not download the demo and check out its video test you will then see what I am talking about. The demo of that game can be found here. http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/demo.shtml [View Quote] video test featureMar 20, 2003, 4:57pm
Hmm that should never happen.
Only thing I can say that might be doing that is something is lagging the computer real close to a lockup but don't lockup and lets you still use the computer. This type of lag dose that to me and it only seems to do that when I open to many things at once then CPU can handle. [View Quote] Water/ and Ground featuresMar 18, 2003, 8:12am
Cutting holes and removing water and all its features from selected areas
will be much needed. Look how many of us like to build underground caves and tunnels and other underground stuff. If we add water to our worlds now those areas would now be flooded when they where never ment to be. [View Quote] Cache to propdumpApr 8, 2003, 1:52am
You can do this with DOS commands.
To extract a propdump from a browser cache file, simply invoke the propdump utility in the property cache folder for your world. Open an MS-DOS command shell: C:\WINDOWS>cd "c:\active worlds\cache\property\myworld" C:\Active Worlds\cache\property\myworld>"c:\active worlds server\utils\propdump" > propdump.txt where "myworld" is the world you want to create the propdump of. This info is in the AW help files http://www.activeworlds.com/help/faq_world.html#q5 [View Quote] Cache to propdumpApr 8, 2003, 2:02am
I really do WISH that this ability be fully stopped and removed.
It is a major security problem, here is why. People can use this to copy worlds they should not have any rights what so ever copying in the 1st place. Once they have it copied they can use a bot change the object ownership and rebuild it in another world claming it as there work when it reality they stole it. Evan if they don't have the same objects, they can still download or make close copies of those objects. [View Quote] Cache to propdumpApr 8, 2003, 9:50pm
I tried it with the 3.3 world servers and it works.
The xelagot bot can also use the propdump that was created. [View Quote] password protect the whole object path.Apr 8, 2003, 2:08am
All the zipped stuff, avatars, objects, and seqs can be passworded.
I think there should also be a way to password protect the textures also for those who make custom textures. closed worldsApr 18, 2003, 1:55am
Red is already used for X rated worlds.
All them light blue worlds are on 3.3 servers still. Once 3.4 is out of beta and all worlds are using the 3.4 server there will be no light blue 3.3 worlds. The colors for 3.4 are. pink for G rated worlds. dark blue for PG rated worlds. green for PG 13 rated worlds. yellow for R rated worlds. red for X rated worlds. gray for closed worlds.

Stop moving then go to the teleport list tab and right click anywhere that
is white and pick remember. Give it a temp name and add it to the teleport list tab. Next right click the one you just added and pick teleport and it will show you the location. Doing this will read out the location like you want. When you are done just delete the teleport you just added. [View Quote] Altitude & ".XX" (TITLE BAR WISH)May 7, 2003, 11:34pm
"what I want is so that peoples external progs etc could read the location
as well as making it easier for teleports." The Xelagot bot and a few other bots can do that. [View Quote] new world list option for touristsMay 7, 2003, 6:38am
You know how you can right click the world list and tell it to show privet
worlds, show empty worlds? To better help the tourists can you add another option to show worlds tourists can enter? show private worlds show empty worlds show tourist worlds This would make it easier on them by unchecking private and empty worlds leaving only the tourist one checked to make the list show only tourist enabled worlds. Or better yet just have the browser detect if your logged in as a tourist and show tourist enabled worlds only. new world list option for touristsMay 10, 2003, 8:09pm
Once everyone is on a 3.4 world server there will be no more ? worlds.
They will all show a rating and the color for that rating. [View Quote] Privilege PasswordsMay 9, 2003, 9:44am
I seen this asked before and I think its the best idea ever.
If someone wants to use your PPW it sends you a popup message asking you. Citizen (name) (number) wants to use your PPW yes or no. If yes, for how long (set time length) I also seen this asked, right click the name on the contact list and add this right to the rules of that citizen [View Quote] bring back the create light color=blackMay 9, 2003, 4:17am
I remember back in ether version 3.0 or 3.1 you could do create light
color=black and it would project blackness on all nearby objects or dim the lighting on them by adding a real low brightness to it. I thought that was cool for use in caves and other dark areas. Why was it taken away? bring back the create light color=blackMay 9, 2003, 4:26am
You can have black used as a color and for the world lighting colors and fog
color though. [View Quote] bring back the create light color=blackMay 9, 2003, 9:37am
Lighting came out in 3.0 or 3.1 I'm pretty sure it was 3.0 cause I do
remember doing the open beta testing for 3.0 and it had lighting. [View Quote] bring back the create light color=blackMay 9, 2003, 12:26pm
bring back the create light color=blackMay 20, 2003, 2:57am
No shads of black will work for the light command.
The closest to black you can get is a light gray color that kinda looks like a dim white. [View Quote] Water EdittingMay 20, 2003, 2:42am
I asked this once in the past and was told that all they wanted to do in 3.4
is make the water work right and look good for now and will work on adding more water features in future versions. [View Quote] WishingMay 20, 2003, 2:31am
Could you please make this tool :-)
If you can, it would save me alot of time trying to line up objects in True Space. I would find such a tool very useful for a nonrepeating ground object set up as small GZ building. [View Quote] standalone modeMay 20, 2003, 2:48am
That falling through the terrain.
I have never had this happen in 3.3 or 3.4 yet. Is there a way to reproduce it? [View Quote] mirror commandMay 20, 2003, 2:54am
I would like to have a reflect command that would cause an object to act
just like a mirror reflecting everything in it even avatars and not just your avatar but every avatar around you just like a real mirror would. 3D games have this effect for there 3D objects. Wall kick Jumps in active worlds idea!May 22, 2003, 10:11am
Pretty cool.
Looks like a bug though or the wall is not 100% vertical. I also found that you can walk up a wall if you approach it from a certain angle, but if you stop you will fall back down lol [View Quote] stand alone mode, what is it for?May 23, 2003, 8:17pm
What is it for anyway, you can do anything but move to cached areas and if
you build it's not saved. The only thing I can think of is to use this mode as a off line presentation type thing. I was thinking it might also be used for diagnostic purposes but then I though maybe not cause you don't have the universe server acting on it. If this mode has no real purpose couldn't it just be removed? |
