Naming Coordinates (Wishlist)
Naming Coordinates // WishlistbuilderzApr 30, 1998, 9:14am
Hi. I just thought of an old idea I really loved, and thought that it
wouldn't be too hard to implement. Say you have property at 123n 123w, or maybe even 8326.6 n 3586.9e. Just as worlds do, it would be nice to have on the title bar something that you would call your house or building. So, if I teleported to 123n 123w, the title bar would read "Active Worlds - yourname's Building", or whatever you wanted it say, _instead_ of the coordinates. And there would be an option to have it show the regular coords and the names of the coords. It would display sort of like Netscape's title bar on Web browsers. It says "thehomepagetitle - Netscape." I hope you understand what I mean. ;-) -Builderz robert pattersonApr 30, 1998, 2:04pm
To expand on this it would be nice to be able to register a location (ASSUMING
YOU ARE THE LEGITIMATE BUILDER OF THE LOCATION) and whenever a person 'hits' the co-ords something like: 'Welcome to Tyrell's Learning Centre' would display in the 'bar instead of just the location co-ords... Sort of like a greeting... Ya... Would require yet more work on Ronald's part but would be very trendy... (I hear Roland's got far too much spare time on his hands these days... shouldn't take long at all :-) ) [View Quote] > Hi.
