Panorama Changer Program (From Syntax) (Bots)
Panorama Changer Program (From Syntax) // BotsferruccioJan 30, 2004, 3:30am
Well, I got this idea visiting Magine's Alphaworld Quest. At this location,
there was a link to an old program created back in 19?? (it said it's only for Win95 so I assume it's old) and it changed the panorama background for a specified world for only the user who is running the program. I am requesting that any one of the talented programmers in AW do an update of this program that not only changes the panorama background, but also give them the option to have a skybox if they want. I know the skybox thing may be hard to do, so even if someone creates a simple program that lets someone change both the panorama background picture and the color of the sky, that'd be really sweet. This would not even be a tough program to make... So, if anyone is interested, you can check out the website with "PanaChange" by visiting http://www.imatowns.com/~derekh/dl.html. I even requested to MrGrimm that this feature (having personalized backdrops for worlds that allow it) to be implemented directly into the browser but he seemed to not really understand me. I know there is a way to change the backdrop on your own machine but it's a pain in the butt to do the process everytime you want a new background So, if any programmers want to take this task, that'd be great! Thanks for readin'. -Syntax (I'll be back in April.. ;P) kahJan 30, 2004, 2:24pm

If you read it carefully, you'll see that what he meant was that it wasn't Win3.1 compatible. I didn't download it, but it might actually just be replacing files in your cache, you could write a batch file that does that. > I am requesting that any one of the talented programmers in AW do an > update of this program that not only changes the panorama background, > but also give them the option to have a skybox if they want. > > I know the skybox thing may be hard to do, so even if someone creates > a simple program that lets someone change both the panorama background > picture and the color of the sky, that'd be really sweet.
