Ok all you wonderful Bot makers..... there's a bunch of cits that are having
serious bingo withdrawal! The Bingo Anonymous Meetings are standing room
only!! :) I realize that bingo may not be a priority, but there is a group
of us who surely do miss it :) CitBingo needs a bingobot! So, how's about
one of you coming up with a nice bingobot that works in 4.1 ?? :) We would
ever so much appreciate it!! Thanks in advance.. I know one of you will help
us out! :)

I'm pretty sure the BingoBot CitBingo used was a Hamfon. Which would fall
into catagory (a) ! But I'm counting on other great AW programmers to help
us out here :) !!!

Well thanks Hal.. for some reason.. the URL wouldn't d/l for me using the _
.. When I replaced it with %20 it came in fine, but of course by then,
after all the sarcasm, I didn't want to listen to it.

I recently updated my video driver. Big mistake. I could not stay in AW for
more than 30 seconds without crashing. So.. I uninstalled and reinstalled my
video card using an older version of the driver at the Hercules web site.
After that AW was ok.. but I couldnt play my 2 favorite games anymore Diablo
II and Dungeon Siege. The DirectDraw and DirectX were messed up .. I
reinstalled the new driver again and found the same thing happened in AW..
so now Ive uninstalled again.. and reinstalled with the older version
driver.. I've been going round in circles this past week doing all the
windows updates and updating everything I can think of to try and solve
this.. the only workable (but pain in the butt) solution I can come up with
is to change my driver to the newest one when I want to play my games.. then
uninstall and re install my video card with the older driver when I want to
be in AW :( I have an AMD Athelon 1300 geforce2 3D Prophet II GTS PRO
Hercules videocard ..any help would be GREATLY appreciated :) is it
possible AW has a problem with Nvidia's newest drivers?

only problem happened when I updated the driver.

there.. I also got directX 8.1 :) I will try again to go to windows update
and see if I can to anything there.. I didnt look for drivers there I went
to my cards web site .. wish me luck :) hahaha thanks :)

I forgot to mention.. I even reinstalled AW.. coz when I crash it says
AWorld.exe generated errors and will close.. I thought it might be a bad
version of aw.. in the 3+ years Ive been here.. I dont remember reinstalling
the program more than once.. I will try your suggestion tomorrow .. thanks
again :)

Well.. according to AW's help files at their web site.. they recommend as a
last resort, to uninstall AW and reinstall it. So I did. That cleared all
cache. My computer has Norton's utilities where I have it set to defrag
every week automatically. I have run Norton's utilities many times to get
rid of the windows errors it finds. I just find it so strange that AW is the
ONLY thing I have on my computer that have a problem with the new driver.

Well Mod, I tried doing this this morning.. and windows is satisified with
the drivers I have. :( It says there are no new ones. even though according
to Hercules web sight I have an older version. And I already have DirectX
8.1 If my darn games would work with this older driver that would be ok with
me. The newest one is
http://us.hercules.com/support/link_drivers.php3?prodid=11&c=0&p=16 40.41
The one I have to use to go in AW is the version just before this one 21.81
I have win2000 Pro ... sigh, this problem just makes no sense to me.

Well, I just got this driver, which was the one I first got, but I thought
I'd try it again as I had a few windows updates and DirectX update since
first trying this driver. When this one didn't work to begin with ... that
was when I went to
http://us.hercules.com/support/link_drivers.php3?prodid=11&c=0&p=16 to get
the driver made by Hercules. So now Im back to being able to play Diablo II
and Dungeon Siege.. but can't stay in AW for more than 30 seconds without
crashing. :( I am very frustrated by all this.

This is what Ive tried to do.. 21.81 works great in AW.. but I cant play
Diablo II or Dungeon Siege anymore using 21.81 driver.. I used to be able
to.. Im not sure why I can't now.. it says theres an error with DirectDraw

Dec 1, 2002, 2:58pm

according to my cards web site:
http://us.hercules.com/support/link_drivers.php3?prodid=11&c=0&p=16 driver
version 30.82 is not an option for me as I have win2000 pro
[View Quote]

Dec 1, 2002, 4:47pm

Well kf, thank you for trying.. I just tried the 30.82, but as with the
40.72 driver version, the only way I can stay in AW at all is to be in
Software Renderer mode. I was able to do Direct3D 8 with the old driver...
but I have uninstalled and reinstalled so many times .. I dont think I can
do any mode but Software Renderer anymore.

Well John..I am glad to see I'm not the only one with a Nvidia problem.. I
have upgraded my directX to directX 8.1b.. and I have gotten all the windows
updates I can .. if I try to use Direct3D 8 I crash, sometimes back into
windows where AW wants/suggests I start in Software Renderer, and sometimes
I crash totally with a blue screen that is dumping ram.. If I try to use
Direct3D 7.. some objects appear totally distorted.. with points that go way
out ..totally weird.. like a spiked hairdo. I am able to use open GL and
Software Renderer. but before my upgrade.. I was using Direct3D 8. After I
crash totally Nortons utilites has a field day with windows errors to
correct. So.. if you find an answer to this.. please pass it on to me :)

Does that reply and smile indicate what I think it does? Gee I thought the
purpose of this was to try and help each other by passing on information

I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am having. Yes.. I'm
optimistic hahah :) Anyway.. I am learning how to use TrueSpace. The problem
I am having is with texturing. I made some dishes with a circular texture
and the result was fine, but when I made some cups it required a straight
texture not a circular one.. so I made one in photoshop. Not a problem as I
am used to manipulating textures. So then the cup looked great in TS.. but
in AW it looks like this :
http://www.geocities.com/redgarnet22/web/cup.jpg and the same thing
happened no matter where I used that texture
http://www.geocities.com/redgarnet22/web/carafe.jpg You can see where one
area is messed up each time I use it. I used the paint brush in TS as well
as the other painting tools to try to paint it. I use CobDump3 to convert to
rwx. I even tried to use Accutrans to convert the rwx back to a cob.. and
saw the problem in TS. I thought I had fixed it coz it once again looked
fine in TS.. but when I put it back in AW.. again the same result. Its very
frustrating because the problem is not visible in TS. Anyone have any
suggestions ???? :) I don't know if it makes any difference, but I have TS
5.1. Thanks Garnet

Feb 23, 2003, 2:07am

Thanks Paul .. I was able to make the cup use the round texture using the
Planar UV . When I did this the design in the texture was wavy so I made
another bowl for the cup with more faces in it to make it rounder. That
smoothed it out some. It still doesnt tell me why the other texture messed
up but at least for the cup anyway, it looks better :) Do you know if theres
a setting in TS that will allow you to paint the different sides of a face a
different texture? I know you can add "Materialmodes double" to the rwx but
is there a setting in TS that you know of? thanks :)

I've had pretty good luck asking questions here... so I'm going to ask yet
another :) I recently won a temporary world upgrade in bingo and it was
enabled a few days ago. I have 2 worlds on my server.. and the world I put
the upgrade on won't allow me to make a prodump, the object number count
never stops increasing. The atdump and elevdumps are fine.. and the other
world dumps work totally fine. I have had a corrupt server before and this
is nothing like that was.. I tried to make a prodump tonight with an xelagot
and here's a picture of what is happening..
http://geocities.com/redgarnet22/web/prodump.jpg as I write this the
object count is now up to 33000 .. now I know I love to build .. but... :)
has anyone else who won a bingo extension had this problem..? The actual
count of objects according to my world server is 11502. Anyone have any
suggestion? :) thanks Garnet

Mar 4, 2003, 12:55pm

When I make Dumps of each world ---pro,elev,at--- I right click on each
world name in the server and give each dump save a unique name so the 2
worlds don't intertwine. That's why this is so puzzling.. one world .. all 3
dumps work fine.. the other (with the temp upgrade).... the "at and elev"
appear to work fine.. its just the pro Dump that is screwed up.. and that
same prodump also is screwed up using an xelagot to try to make one.. I
will try your suggestion .. although I hate dos :) scares the begeebies outa
me hahaha :) and I will also try to email aw and see if its something I hope
they can fix :) thanks both of you Garnet

This sounds like a problem I had when I upgraded my Gforce2 videocard driver
.. I posted about it here in the newsgroups a couple months ago, and had
advice given to me similar to what you are getting. Before I updated the
driver I could be in direct 3D 8 with no problems at all. After I upgraded
all I would do in AW is crash.. I gave up and now use OpenGL.. and can't
use fog coz it looks weird. I've learned my lesson... I will never upgrade
videodrivers again unless its not working. Garnet

[View Quote]

Mar 7, 2003, 3:48pm

I'll leave it to those who can explain what OpenGL is better than I can :)
All I know is that it isn't as good as Direct3D 8 was, and now when I use
fog it makes water dissapear at certain angles.. or appear dark. You will
find the choice to use OpneGL under Options> Settings>Viedo I hope you
have better luck with it than I did :) Garnet

For the most part I agree with the "old timer" as there are a lot of people
who like to whine.. and just waste space. Unfortunately.. when you are
treated unfairly.. it is easy for others to "see" you as just another
whiner.. and not look any further. This was my first time nominating anyone
for a CY and it wasn't a pleasant experience. I am enclosing a copy of the
letter I mailed to the Cy commitee and I also posted this in the forum at
the Cy site. All I wanted for SGi, was a fair shake.. but apparently our
names are not well known enough for any committee memeber to even come to
our world. My suggestion would be to have the whole community vote for the
5, or is it now 3, finalists.. not rely on a selection committee that
dosen't do their job. Anyway.. here is my letter:
To Whom it may Concern,
I am writing on behalf of cit's SGi and Garnet, to let you know we think
your Cy Awards selections were not done in any kind of professional manner
at all. Now while you may agrue that this is not a professional pagent of
any kind, the way you advertize it all over the worlds in AW and Web pages
boasts it up to be a great honor bestowed on people who earn this award.
Apparently that is not what it actually is. Not only have you messed up the
nomination, SGi alone was nominated, not SGI and Garnet. How can the avatars
be judged when no one from the selection committee came to look at them? We
have bot records to back this up. Also it was my understanding that 5 would
be chosen, yet I see only 3 finalists. You try to make it out to be such an
honor to be chosen to recieve a CY, yet the phoniness of it all is amazing.
I don't see why you even bother to go through any kind of nomination and
selection processes, as it seems the final answer will inevitably be a
friend to someone in the right position. The fact that our world is the 3rd
I know of for certain that no one from the committee came to look at, proves
this. It will be interesting to see how many more world owners step forward
to say no committee member came to their world to see their avatars.

If you read my post you will see that I did send it to the committee , I
decided to post it here as well as send it to the committee for the same
reasons anyone else makes posts here.

I got an empty gram from her/him too. I replied but didn't recieve an
answer. I pointed out that polite etiquette would have been to follow up his
mistakenly sent gram with a follow up gram saying ..ooppsss.. :) I still got
no reply.. geesh!!! I just put it off as a silly newbie who made a mistake,
and was embarrassed.
