Hi everyone:

this idea has been swirling in my head for the last several weeks. What if
we had the ability to teleport from one UNIVERSE to another. Here's how it
would work....

We know that if you click on the TELEPORT pull dowqn menu, it gives you a
dialog box asking you what world and the coords. you want to teleport to,
right?? Of course. MY idea would be to add a UNIVERSE field in that dialog
box. In other words, let's say I wanted to teleport from my location on
AlphaWorld in the AW Universe to a world on OuterWorlds. I would enter
something like the following information....

INIVERSE: owuniv
WORLD: owgate
COORDS: 0N OE

Using my present location on alphaWorld as an example, this information
would take me from 4925N 176E on AlphaWorld in the AW Universe to the Ground
Zero area of OWGate on the OuterWorlds Universe ALL WITHOUT SWITCHING
BROWSERS!!!!

Pretty cool, eh???

Comments anyone??

Cheers for now :-)

Hi everyone:

like the cache. contact list, etc. They could start by doing that. :-)

.... How? Universes don't have names. The contacts list problem is already solved since 3.3.

By sending a universe name in the universe attributes, which would be from
one stored in its license file. :P But, other then that, this whole idea is
insane... 90% of the browser would be needed to be reprogrammed for support
of this... Probably the easiest way for this would be to have a simple login
to the uniserver, get the world host and port, connect to the world, and
then dump the connection to the universe, as it is unneeded. This does,
however limit teleportation within that universe once you've entered a
world. There really isn't any nice and clean way of doing this besides
reprogramming major sections of the browser.

Universes do have an identifier, host and port.

Separate directories would not be necessary for the
art cache, just for property and a few files in the
AW root.
