Mirc and other clients "capture" an URL so that it can be easily
accessed.

Alot of times in high traffic areas when coords are typed on the
chatscreen (and URL's), they scroll up so fast you either have
to keep scrolling back to copy or teleport to an empty location
to keep the chatscreen from scrolling further while copying.

Please, please, figure a way to either capture the url and teleport
or click on it to activate.

TL

PS We also need a Bookmark tab for URL's that want to be saved
in the Active Worlds browser.

Sep 9, 1998, 10:13pm

Um.....I ask people to send me URL'S thru telegrams, then in that way you
have them in your list and have no worries about trying to copy and paste it
from the chat screen. So an URL bookmark would be good, cause then they can
make it into a link. Plus the only thing about telegrams, is only citizens
can send and receive them, which means you can't get URL's from tourists, so
I think that's a greaaat idea, T.L.

Also, someone mentioned to have an ONLINE list like ICQ. I think that's a
great idea too! It's hard to see everyone online when you have to scroll
down and it scrolls back up even before you can right-click a person's name.

yes, of course, the agenda always seems to go where the money is. even
though the sdk is free, it is mainly the commercial worlds who are asking
for it, so guess who's requests get put on the back shelf.
Most of the enhancements that i have been seeing lately seem to favor those
who want to push some product or service.
I am not accusing Roland of anything except doing what his boss tells him
to, but what do you expect? Money talks.

That's great for Citizens, but not for Tourists. I don't give my ICQ number
out to just anyone; therefore, the problem still exists...not to mention it does

nothing for the web browser bookmarks problem.

Not only that, seems to me if someone wants to show off their program to
a potential customer/tourist, they would make it easy for them to see the
coords and URL's.

I'm thinking a simple freeze chat button might be helpful, and not too
hard to do... in fact, I've made a few programs that will freeze my
computer, I could then write down the info in the chat that I needed...
however the disadvantage to this is that you would have to reboot to
unfreeze :)

you see, what CoF doesn't understand is that Active Worlds is not yet big
enough to start thinking about money... if it wasn't for the people, there
wouldn't be any company using AW... If CoF keeps on trying to please the
companies, the people will leave, and in return, there will be no more new
companies, and the existing ones will become bankrupt, and AW will be no
more... CoF should wait until you can talk about AW online to almost anyone,
and have them know what you are talking about.... for instance, most of you AW
people know what quake is, but when you go into a quake game, and ask someone
about AW, they would have no idea what you are talking about... AW has the
potential to gain that much popularity, but CoF has to listen to the people
before anything like that could happen....
also, CoF concentrates on what the people want, the people will help bring in
more companies..... I would suggest that once that average amount of AW users
on at the same time is at about 5000, CoF can start thinking about what the
companies want.... but for right now, the should LISTEN TO US!

- that's just my thought on the subject

I agree completely. My post was meant to point out the flaw in COF's

OK, ppl.. here's my situation.... since an accident did me in and gives me
lots of time to either find something to do or go crazy.. I have ben working
on several programs and projects related to the AW/OW environment.
Why does this matter? Because I program well and like challenges. If I
post programs here to assist with AW, such as catching URL, etc.... would
anyone care to beta-test them? Of course, I would release source code, since
most are rightfully paranoid about hackers, etc.
I have been trying to follow the wishlist ng for a while and compile list
of things that I have not already started to address. Basically, I would need
a concise set of things to make and if ppl are willing to beta-test them when
the time comes.... if ppl seem to respond well to this, I shall soon set up a
webpage to register for beta-testing and get basic system info.. to know what
I might be dealing with <hates Win98,btw>.
If anyone is interested.... might someone help compile a list of
features? I do not desire to read the 1400 posts in this ng to get the whole
picture. Many thanks.

Jumping... 'standard' or customizable jumping for distance, height, and
repititions?
One thing from the list to be added is to warp to a new elevation, same position
otherwise.... That is part of the setup that allows you to choose a compass
direction for moving, etc.

[View Quote] [View Quote] Better than avatars, what would be cool is more enhanced actions on objects.
Nothing much new for a good while. Better "Animating" objects to make the
environment more alive than it is. The time-related commands are either poor
when it's about texture and animation (and pretty buggy), to null when it's
about pics, sounds and signs. It's time... "time" becomes a true dimension
here.
