Yep, it's true! Very cool. I'm just wondering who was responsible so we
have someone to thank? (aka. NOT bitch at) :P

Also, was anything else added without us knowing? O,O

I sent the following email to support on 14th Feb, requesting "fly", but I
also asked for a lot of other missing stuff, so I don't think my email had
anything to do with it.... Maybe if some more sent the same email to
support they might attend to some of the other fixes/additions I requested?

Hi Support

I'm sure you are aware of this but it it would be good it some fixes were
made for Alpha World

Whenever I go to AW GZ I get these warnings:

Warning: unable to download objects.activeworlds.com/aw/seqs/sp5end.zip
(file not found)
Warning: unable to download objects.activeworlds.com/aw/seqs/sp5walk.zip
(file not found)
Warning: unable to download objects.activeworlds.com/aw/seqs/sp5act1.zip
(file not found)
Warning: unable to download objects.activeworlds.com/aw/seqs/sp5wait.zip
(file not found)

and I get this whenever there is a bike avatar around:

Warning: unable to download objects.activeworlds.com/aw/seqs/bd.zip (file
not found)

Also, I've noted the following objects are on the path but are missing in
the register:

edge45b18.rwx edge45b22.rwx edge45c9.rwx edge45c10.rwx
edge45c12.rwx edge45c14.rwx edge45c16.rwx edge45c18.rwx
edge45c20.rwx edge45c22.rwx

Finally, it would be nice if the Alpha avatars could be updated to have the
special "fly hover jump fall" seqs. I guess swim and float would not apply
unless terrain is planned at some future time.

Thanks, Justin

Pardon me, but that is the dumbest looking "fly" Seqs I have ever seen. 90%
of the time I am in 3rd View and when I see my av look like a witch without
a broom it makes me sick....guess its back to birdie if it doesn't change..

It's very cool that flying seqs were added. : )

Problem:

Some men don't like the looks of the avatar while in flight.
I don't like the looks of the lady avatar while it is flying. It looks
unladylike and when the Jenna avatar is used, you can see up the dress.

I'm not picking on whoever did this, but it would have been nice if we could
have had different views of flying and been able to vote on what we liked.

I'm reminded of the brick walk texture replaced years ago, a lot of people
didn't like that either. Sort of hurt the feelings of some in the company
that we didn't like it and were always complaining when changes occurred
(instead of praising). But it hurt the citizens as well because we are
artists, and artists like for their work to look a certain way. When you
change a texture, you are basically taking away their work.

Nevermind that, then...

Would you be happier if they added the broomstick? :P

All I can say, is there aren't enough broomsticks to go around. Ask anyone
using the Jenna av, looking in third view what they think. Jenna has always
had a following, I think she will get more than she bargain for.

As for Cedric, the one I use, this sequence has taken his manly image away.
So sad :O(

Suck it up, they didn't put full detail on the Jenna Avatar so there is
nothing to complain about. I'm sure you all played with your Barbie dolls
when you were little and didn't complain that you could see her crotch when
you put new clothes on her. :P

Last I checked the AW 3.5 beta browser supports all *sorts* of different 3d
view angles!

I remember this as well but the old brick texture was so pixellated and
crappy looking. They replaced them with new high-res textures for the
high-res CD, I think.

They seemed to *only* add the fly one though. I would think if they were
adding one they would go ahead and add them all? Guess not. :P

Upon further examination of the "controvertial" flying Jenna, I realized
that there is absolutely nothing to take offence to. This is because when
you look up Jenna' skirt, there is...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! It seem's Jenna's
legs are powered by ghostly forces since they are not even attached to any
body-type structure. Not only can I see up Jenna's skirt, I can see damn
near see what's sitting in her stomach from this morning's breakfast. :P

I like the fly and hover and jump... far better than just standing in the
sky - that to me just looks dumb!

The whole this is, we should have been given the freedom to choose.

Regarding the brick texture, it would have been very easy to add a new
texture to the OP. Instead they chose to replace. It was saddening to see
an old cache of Alpha World (where I could walk around gz approx 1996) and
see the difference in textures. New and improved is fine, just don't
replace. They go to much trouble keeping our builds backed up, seems they
would go to just as much trouble preserving them as the builder intended for
it to be seen. It's pretty simple logic.

Regarding flying, kids, men and women don't all fly alike. I know, I'm a
woman! I don't like my legs spread out. Sort of like riding a horse, if I
had a dress on I'd ride side saddle. Again, we should be given the freedom
to choose. Maybe have Jenna's legs spreadable and Alicia flying with her
legs closed. I really don't know how men want to fly, but they should be
given their freedom to choose too. And the kids? They'd probably go for
something pretty cool, but give them the freedom to choose.

so we should also have the freedom to choose a removable hotep hat for the
hotep, or a weight-changing virgil, or how about all avatars don't wear
white shoes after labor day? Your suggestion doesn't make any logical
sense. They are just avatars, it's not like you are seeing something you
aren't supposed to see up the skirt of the woman avatars. Other users don't
care about the posture of your womanly avatar. They don't come to active
worlds to see that.

Regarding new additions we absolutely should be given the freedom to choose.
Regarding those things already in place, if the majority of citizens vote to
remove Hotep's hat, give us a new avatar in the list, but don't replace
what's already there.

Regarding the later statement, go to Russian world, the women have no
panties on under their dress, they are given much detail underneath. I
don't feel it is appropriate for children who enter that world. (Which is
rated G) Different cultures may have different styles, but no culture
reprensented in AW should freely show the details of a woman's area below
the waist in a rated G world. I feel it is degrading to women, notice the
men avatars are fully dressed below the waist.

OK, AWI aren't going to replace the flying SEQs. They just aren't.

And how many different styles of flying can you have anyway? I don't
think the flying is very feminine or masculine either way.

There is, however, hope for the... uh... rough guess, five? people that
don't like the new SEQs. EDIT YOUR CACHE.
