Wish for Building Backup Devices. // Wishlistjames wNov 15, 1999, 6:38pm
How about in the next version of AW, add an option to place four placemarks
around a building, and on the placement of the fourth will generate a file to download. This file would be a copy of the property converted to a file. Then, If your building is ever destroyed, you have a backup to replace it. Have the AW browser load the file up, you enter your password, and privilege password and the placemarks appear, and you just move it around like an object until you find a free area of your choice. And then poof, it's back.. This would be great for people who are tired of their current nehiborhood and want to move somewhere else. think the passwords are necessary, because without it, anyone could copy our precious work and copy it all over AW... Let's say a good friend wants a copy of your mansion, so he can have one of his own. Before you make a copy, you change your Privilege Password to His Name. Save it, and change the password back to the original. When he gets the file, you give him the Privilege Password (His Name) to use it. That would work for preservation societies also..But not anyone else. Unless You make a copy and release it to everyone with the privilege password in a text file, zipped up with the file.. Well? Does that sound like a plausible idea? James rat thingNov 17, 1999, 6:56pm
All of this is currently possible with a bot. Unfortunately the bot will not
need a password to copy the property.. Rat [View Quote] |
