In the next version of AW they should let us edit more than one object at
the same time cuz it also safes some time sometimes I think if you have to
edit several objects like the name, description and action lines.

Also, there should be a weather system. We already have fog, but now the
next version should have more weather. Rain, lightning, snow, and hail
maybe. But also with the rain affects it shouldn't rain on walls or ceilings
to be more realistic.

This is nearly impossible because of the way AW stores data. It cannot determine
the boundaries of an object by it's position without checking the registry on
EVERY SINGLE RAINDROP. Now this is very much possible if all of AW's users are
willing to use all their work to a rewrite of the entire AW software, then we
can get some stuff done. But thats not gonna happen any time soon. And why add
more fluff if we really need to address key concerns up front beforehand such as
object manipulation (rotation, etc.), security (DOWN WITH GREEN CHECKMARKS),
easier cache clearing. You know, the BASICS. Oh yeah, get the framerate up in
high poly areas/models. So we can have remotely decent looking things. The AW
doorways (pd##) are only like... 12 polys at most. Anything over 100 causes
problems and by 10,000 (mind you 10,000 is the average poly count in most game
models) we're dead in the water. I mean most systems crawl to a halt.

Yeah, I believe if they are willing to add weather they'd have to rewrite
everything because of the way they have it now and stuff seems like it won't
work without going through walls, ceilings and stuff.. That's probably why
the fog has to be inside things too lol

I don't think so, I say stick with aw 2.2 or make aw 2.2 run more of what aw
3.0 can... If you want upgrades to be done I think it should be on a totally
different universe to AW as lots of peoples works have been put to ruins..
So just start a new universe and see what happens to the good ole AW...

lol...uhh? I don't have enough money to start a universe, at least at this
time. I am trying to make money from get paid to surf programs and all the
others and if I can make a couple a thousand a month from it. I'll be
willing to buy myself a universe. Also the money will be used for computer
upgrading. :)
It's http://pay-sites.homepage.com
Also, I'm wondering why Microsoft doesn't have Frontpage Express in Windows
or Windows Update anymore because it was a useful tool. lol
I can still make pages with something else that'll do but I liked Frontpage
Express a lot.

I mean that AW should make a new universe directly for the newer versions of
AW which use 3d hardware acceleration.
