Can they see *what* you chat?
I think that when you use Robo for a small piece, like a 5x5 lot for a
house, they probably won't notice. A lot of things happen in AW, and I don't
think that someone has time to check it all.

What?!? Are you nuts? What do you think of the work someone has put in his
work?? "Hey, i can't touch it, so it won't matter if we demolish it"? It
ain't real as in RL, but it exists on our computer screen, and in our minds,
so IT WILL MATTER IF IT GETS DEMOLISHED!! It AINT fun!

We ain't cracking someone down, we are forming an opinion about this. That
needs some discussion. And I think that someone who thinks vandalizing
property is fun is NUTS!!
This is exactly what we do, share information. We share the information that
we don't like some things, and that we like some things. This is to know
what most people want, and that is the purpose of this NG, to find out what
should be implemented first.
You say that you behave like this at home? :-)

We can play MID files from within AW, but what about support for MOD, XM,
S3M, MTM etc? I have a lot of <100kb MOD files that would be nice in my
town. The XM and S3M files I have are way too big, but I suppose that there
are small ones out there, too.

What about a way to check the status of some things in AW, and let another
object react on it? I mean, something like "activate if object1 visible on
then object1 visible off else object1 visible on" on a sign2.rwx, in stead
of a flip-flop construction with 2 signs. I think that there will be alot of
possibility's for this one. I miss it all the time when building something
more complex, like an open-close sign for a door or so.

If we would fly, make the forward key do the same as look down (pgdwn), and
the backward key the same as look up (pgup), and when going forward we would
go in the direction we were looking at, so when looking down, we would go
down. Just like flying a little plane. Would be very cool.

The X means that X rated activity's are going on in that world. Not that
tourists aren't allowed. A better way would be a checkbox for a worldowner:
"Allow tourists (y/n)" or something alike. The rating system is not meant as
an absolute protection, just to help people who don't want to get in a world
above a certain rating. However, I don't think that a "you can't enter this
world, no tourists allowed" sounds very friendly to tourists.

I don't want this gangs and virusses, too. Some of these idea's are funny,
but only for a while. So, I suggest that they are implemented in one or a
few worlds, and that the rest of AW remains like it is (but with progress,
off course). Like, a big 3D multiplayer shooting game can be fun. However,
not in AWprime or AWschool, or AWgate, or whatever nice world that is for
building and chatting. So, make one world that is a 3D shooter world, and if
one likes to shoot, he can go there. If one wants to chat and build, he
won't go there.

Like the idea in my "this would be handy" message, but with variables. I
think this is a good idea. However, opening and closing a door can be done
without a variable if you can check the visibility and solidity of an
object. Like if door1 visible on then door1 visible off, door1 solid off
else door1 visible on, door1 solid on. This can be done with 2 doors, too.

I use an if/then/else command, too, but I use the visibility/solidity of the
door object as a variable. However, in other situations, self-declared
variables can be handy, too.

But when you try to make a bot that tracks down ppl using bad words, you
don't necessarily have to eject them while still developing the bot. Just
make the bot report to you: "<name> said <sentence>, I think this is a good
reason to kick him out", but don't let the bot do so.

LOL :-)
Yes, but only when you want to check if the bot's algorithm works well. When
it does, you can add a line to your code to actually make the bot eject.
When it doesn't, no-one gets kicked out for nothing, and you can go see what
is wrong. :-)
