I like to listen to music thats effected by where I am in AW(Teen) but I
cant get to work is something allong the lines of......

'create sound c:\Dj Otzi - Hey Baby.mp3'

I know you can do fake paths and such, but its all a bit of too much to get
some mp3's to play when the path will be treated exactly the same in AW as
it is in IE and they can both use content.

Bleh, there's Windows Media Player and Winamp for this sort of thing.

Yeah, but they both explode due to AW hogging all the processor, its best to
use em in aw

they do? o.O Mine works fine and I'm only running a 900MHz.
I suppose it wouldn't hurt to allow local addresses but I don't think many
people would use this feature.

I'm running AW, dreamweaver, fireworks, kazza, winamp, Outlook, four
sessions of IE, and AIM on a 450MHz machine... Nothings slow, everything's
running just fine. Its a problem with Strike rapers machine.

Wow, that must be one uber 450 MHz machine there. I'm running AW, WMP,
winzip, 3 notepad windows, 2 IE windows, apache, trillian, and OE and I've
got 40% resources free on a 700 MHz machine.

Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Kazaa (spyware!) should zap about 256 mb's of
ram. I agree though, that his machine is getting zapped if he can only run
AW and not winamp or WMP. Fear my emachine, thoust Strike Rapier's computer
cannot withstand it's mighty wrath!

eww, don't by brand computers!

I can run quite a few things on my computer and I have only a 900MHz and
256MB of RAM. Before my 900MHz 256MB I was running a 266MHz 32MB (can't
believe it was only 1.5yrs ago!) and I couldn't run AW and Winamp or WMP. It
was pretty nasty. LOL. But I could run a few things of IE and AW at the same
time with very little slow-down and that was good enough for me [until I got
into the 3D gaming].

Do you think I would've bought one if I had the choice? No, but my dad
insisted we get THIS one for $500.

Yeah and I only have 192 mb ram. My 233 mhz computer can run AW and WMP at
the same time, it only has 32 mb of ram too. But my emachine r0x0rs, don't
diss it.

LOL, brand computers just suck. All i would have to do is tell my Dad I can
get the same crap for a bit less and he'd be all for it. But my Dad's not
stupid enough to buy a brand computer (computers are his career). Well,
actually, he has bought a couple brand computers but they were little
brands, no big company like Dell or eMachine. They were just little $300
computers that we can use for backup (the parts). So when a motherboard
fries (as they like to do!), we have another one to take it's place until
the one we buy gets back (cause the extra parts suck :-P).

Sorry for all the unnecessary chitter-chatter. I like to talk, so sue me.
LOL

Oh, and that computer... you suck! LOL :-P
I could run AW and AMP or Winamp at the same time but the music would lag.
:-\

i run a lot of that stuff too on a 450.. no lag here either :P (AW kazaa 3-5
IE sessions AIM ICQ sometimes outlook and usually 3 bots)

only 950mghz? you shouldnt need anything above 800
256mb ram should be all you need too... however you could double that for
around 50 bucks :P

Its gotta be his machine. I don't see what his problem is. I have an AMD
1400 board laying around that I'm hesitant to put in due to how good my
450MHz machine is. Strike should be more than happy with his current
machine, but, you cant always make people happy :o.

AW doesn't recognize the faked protocol "file://", so it doesn't
work to write "create sound file:///c|/sounds/song.mp3"

But still it's very easy to have a local object path with only
the sound files in it.

Here how you could do it...

Go get yourself a copy of Apache for Win32 (be forwarned, it wasn't designed
for windows)...

Get on OP going on your hard drive, let's say it's at c:/ActiveWorlds/op/.
Set that to your DocumentRoot in apache, or add a Directory statement for
it.

In activeworlds, set your world's Object Path to your loopback IP (127.0.0.1
[not sure if windows still recognizes this or not]). This should make the AW
browser look to your local copy of apache to get the OP.

You can setup PHP and use the multi-path, or even use the apache rewrite
engine to use both your path and a outside one. The second path would allow
you to only certin objects on your hard drive, and pull the rest from where
ever you're getting them now.

That's the best solution I know of...

Or you can just run it as localhost. http://localhost/

hmm...

localhost = 127.0.0.1

I'm not sure which, if any, of those windows recognizes...

This value is provided as a standard "local host" URL in any OS. Some of it uses the "hosts" file to translate it , some has it built in hardcoded.

I can run Morpheus, Winamp, AW, MSN and Internet Explorer all at once on a
650 MHz with 128 MB RAM.
