Right, i'm about to go through the proccess of categorizing AWTeen's avatars

But beforehand, i want to know, would adding categories affect the
numbering?
000 - Damien
001 - Sarah
002 - Lori

If i put a category between sarah and lori, would lori have to be 003?


Cheers
(and while we're at it, how do you add categories anyway)

If it helps,

Avatar 000 is default. So, if you add the new categories and don't have any
avatars before the first category, the category itself will be 000.

I guess that does mean that, yes, categories count as a number in those
terms.

Yet, in my world, the first avatar is the "Characters" category, which would
be avatar 000. So telling a bot to change to avatar 2, will be the second
_actual_avatar_ in my list. I prefer things this way.. First avatar being 1,
second being 2.. Not the 000, 001, 002.. way.

Confused?
My job is done.

Categories are added in this form:


avatar
name=Category1
endavatar

avatar
name=Rick
geometry=vrick.rwx
endavatar


same as before, geometric-wise.

Actually it's like this,

It's really not necessary to put a subheading before your tourists since
they are automatically the first two on the list.

Tourist One (av #0)
Tourist Two (av #1)

*Guest AVs* <<< do NOT have geometry= line here at all, just av begin,
section name, av end
If you have geometry line here then aw thinks it's an av, not a subheading
:o}

Your Guest (av #2)
Your Guest (av #3)
Your Guest (av #4)

*PRIVATE AVs* <<< do NOT have geometry= line here at all, just av begin,
section name, av end
If you have geometry line here then aw thinks it's an av, not a subheading
:o}

Private AV (av #5)
Private AV (av #6)

You can't actually wear a subheading if no geometry line used so it's not
actually an av anymore (like it use to be). Specials can have a subheading
but like Tourists they will show directly under the subheading on the main
list, not under the subheading section.
