that problem hasn't got anything to do with the server. all rotation and
movement is computed by the browser independently of the server, the server
only gets change reports from the browser so it can send your updated
location to any other browsers/bots in the area. I'd recommend you align
yourself perfectly with the North (do a teleport to yourlocationN
yourlocationS 0) and select your road object. if the outlines aren't
perfectly straight, then the problem is in your road, that's not perfectly
aligned.

just another example of what some stupid people think is fun... and it
brings up the golden rule that you should NOT trust any program with your
PPW, if it seems dodgy, be carefull, only give out your PPW when you're sure
that the author of the bot is honest and does not steal passwords. These
script kiddies really piss me off, since they give bot programmers a bad
reputation and makes it harder for people to trust us! and about ejection
that's old news, the ejection system in AW isn't good enough.

don't worry about the NetBroadCaster deal, I don't think it'll do much to VR
TV stations in AW LOL ;-)) they just want a bit of money and some free
(well, in reality it's damn expensive advertising since they're buying the
whole company!) advertising and try to achieve that by buying a company that
runs one of the most popular entertainment sites (or so they say...) around.
Silly if you ask me, but oh well, if they feel like going bust quicker, then

Look, before you continue posting, learn how to post correctly! this is NOT
related to the sdk and community groups, only the bots group. And this is an
issue you should contact Brant himself about, we don't really care about
your rants about bots. And obviously you aren't very familiar with how AW
works it seems, neither about some general things about bots and software in
general (don't expect a beta to work like a release). Please don't crosspost
if it isn't REALLY necessary, and if you REALLY want to post a rant, do so
in general.discussion.

I think it's something integrated into the browser? maybe not, haven't

My solution is simple: I gradually start running all services like mail,

2 installations? not hard, you just can't run both (unless you know some
neat tricks, and I don't mean using a HEX editor) at the same time. I
have 3 installations of AW (2.2, 3.1 and 3.2, soon 3.3 hopefully)
configured for entering AW, and I have installations configured for other
unis floating around too. And yes, if they're on the same HD it'll work,
but not if you move it to another HD.

You don't have to pay, they've got "public" servers too, that you can use
freely, scroll down on the download page... Even though I agree, Fileplanet
is an annoying thing, and it's very easy to miss that they have free
servers as well when they highlight their paid services like they do...

X3D own about 14% now, and as they own more than 10% they want to have a

Geez, it's probably the HD serial, the CPU serial or something like that!
It tells you absolutely NOTHING about your system, it's just a number used
internally by the manufacturer to identify a single object from other
identical objects. It probably won't even be possible to find out the
manufacturer of the hardware component based on the serial, they can't do
anything with the info, it isn't even interesting to know!!!

Now you're being silly! It's not spyware, it doesn't record any info about
your system, it just takes a number it finds and uses it to identify a
machine (a lot of apps, games, etc use this as well, without being
spyware). See JerMe's post for the *REAL* meaning of spyware. Second, it
won't be available to people with eject, but only people with caretaker.
What's the big deal about knowing your HD/CPU/whatever serial-number
anyway? It's a MILLION times more interesting to know your IP to someone
evil, and that has been around for years, but nobody complains about it!

It sure is sad to see people leaving all the time :-(( I've seen way too
many of my friends leaving lately, but I will stay to the last day
myself, and continue my contribution to the community (I've not
contributed a lot to the general community lately, this is because I'm

Start with yourself, freak. If you want the community to be helpfull,
then BE helpfull! If everyone is like you and say "I won't be helpfull
before everyone else is", then nobody will be helpfull! Just because you
didn't get 500 replies with a solution to your problem with SEQs, doesn't
mean the community isn't helpfull, and that thing about old computers was
actually an attempt at being helpfull, giving you a possible explanation
(you never mentioned your system specs before, so don't complain) for the
problem. You obviously don't care about the reason for the problem, which
is that the SEQ engine has been changed, and it is stated in the 3.3 help
that there could be some trouble, so if you'd RTFMed, you'd had to
probably reason already. Anyway, this is the community NG, not the
support NG, if you want support with AW, send a mail to
support at activeworlds.com, don't expect the community to have an answer
for you! Stop being so selfish!
