Caretakers should have the ability to open an overview of their world in a
window, look above and underground to delete, select, move, and change
objects

this would help stop Vandalisem and help a CT to locate objects they made
and lost

Sounds nice, but needs more definition. How would you like this overview to look?

well appear in a window showing terrain and all objects (terrain would be
see through) but the objects would have textures but they would be loaded to
show low-polygon textures

Okay, so I take it the overview you had in mind would be a 2D image or an alternate 3D representation (as opposed to a hierarchical text list or something like that) and would be somehow "simplified", like a map view or something like that?

Textures, as defined in the context of Active Worlds at this time, don't have polygons... so "low-polygon textures" either needs some re-tinking, or more clarification.. depending on what you meant by it.

just a 2D Overview which displays everything in the world and allows you to
track a object with a certain command on it, there would be no textures used
just colors

Something like what the AlphaWorld map was?

Yes, a built-in mapping feature or long range scanner would be nice... especially with the ability to interact with the objects on the map in various ways, such as filtering them by altitude, selecting and deselecting, etc. There has been talk of the possibility of adding such features in the past. It would definately be nice if the new development team would look into it.
