RWX is a lot easyer for an app to parse, and usually contains a lot less
useless polys and verts than tS objects. it does take longer to render tS
objects, it's a known fact, only the people who build their worlds with
mostly unconverted tS objects say otherwise because they don't want their
worlds looked upon as badly built...

open the port on IIS? the port IIS uses is defined by config (unless it's
even stupider than I think it is), probably port 80 (default HTTP port).
Anyway, use Apache, it'll knock you over in amazement over how little
trouble there is.

the good mail-scanning AV acts as a proxy... the way Norton AV works is that
if it detects on RETR command on a POP3 connection (I guess it uses the
remote port to identify it) it launches it's mailscanner. same thing for
outgoing, if it detects a DATA command it scans the content before it relays
it to the server (doesn't work well if you're connected to the server as
localhost lol), so it's completely independent of the clients.

AW is way too big, and would take years and years to fill up (unless a lot
more cits come, but with the AWC's current policies I doubt that). And even
though they added some new objects, it's still majorly looks a bit old.

Why do you have it update every 30 seconds when it only updates every 60

Actually, it's dead easy, after you survey the area, you choose save as
propdump from the menu and there you go, you've got your propdump. BTW

That's *YOUR* belief! You should refrain from saying those things in here,
there are people of all religions (including atheists, even though that
isn't any religion) that read the NGs! I hate seeing posts regarding
religion stuff, because this is exactly what happens, everyone starts
yelling at each other with their beliefs, which I think of as unproper to
do on those NGs (I'm sure there are religionrelated NGs on USENET).

Agent was kidding :-)) And you didn't let people know, you said "there is
only one true god", which implies that people believing in other gods are
wrong, which isn't a very nice thing to say :-)) And in Christianity I
guess Jesus IS the Messiah pretty much... Please do not take offence in
this, I'm a Christian myself, but I think that AW should be kept separate
from religion, because people of all beliefs are in here.

I've been running DX 8.1 retail for a few weeks now, I love it, it
brings a great little boost to apps using it (like the Revolution3D 3D
engine I program with)! I've had no problems like this with AW, it runs
fine, except that it usually crashes now and then anyway, but that
happens regardless of the DX version.

KAH

May 17, 2002, 4:00pm

You're out in the woods, dude. DX 8.1 is a completely fine working release
of DX, and it *IS* in release, been since last year. The current beta
version of DX is DX 9. I have never had any problems with DX 8.1. Maybe you
should run the DX diagnostic tool, there might be a problem on your system.
(Start > Run > type "dxdiag", without the quotes). I recommend upgrading to
anyone out there, it will do you a lot of good.

Actually, there *IS* a difference between the preinstalled DX 8.1 for XP
and the DX 8.1 on the DX site. Some DX 8.1 powered apps might not work with
the preinstalled version

You're welcome :-)) Also, even though this may not seem really problematic,
if you have debug versions of DX files you should reinstall, these can
create problems as well (for some strange reason one of my DX core files
went into debug mode after a crash here, and I couldn't program in DX until
I discovered it and reinstalled DX). Hopefully DX 9 will be ready soon,
it'll probably be even better :-))

I'm just guessing, but I think you may be running Windows 95 on that
system? It seems the most likely for a system like that, even though the
minimum requirement for Windows 98 is a 486 66MhZ CPU... The difference
is that DirectX 8.1 is only supported on Windows 98 and up, DirectX 8.0a
is the last DX version supported on W95! And what problems did you
encounter?

How nice, Bodhitroll is here with his moronic comments! I think it's good
that Anduin has put up a warning, then people that don't know about it
and don't want to see things of the sort (even though they may have seen
it before, or may not be mentally damaged by it, but still don't want to
see the stuff) won't see anything they don't want to see, and everyone
will be happy. Except you, because you're a weirdo gnome, but nobody
cares about them anyway. 7 year olds could probably do those things, and
it isn't be approriate for them to see nude women, their parents might
even punish them thinking they went there on purpose. I see you replied
"The 16 year old geek remark was a generality...But you seem to think it
was
aimed at you..so be it.". Why did you say "Get a life Bowen." in that
case? Read your own stupid post before trying to act smart! YOU are
telling people to get lifes? Start with yourself, weirdo gnome! Now go
