Some things that would be kewl in aw ...

OPs...
User OPs where you could store and wear your own avs (instead of only those
in a world)


OBJECTS...
When an object or multi-objects are selected the browser displays the obj
names and their
current coords ... and if you were to move them have it show the coords in
movement!

Have pix/signs/objects, etc, only visible to certain people in a world ...
if you own or
operate it I mean.


AVATARS...
AVs part of tabs window so you can scroll through all avs no matter your
screen res!

Sound IN avatars.dat file ... you bend over it puts out an errrrm ... sound

Spoken Commands (seqs) instead of/with buttons ~ or symbols in front of
words (Ex: /sit /lay
:thought balloon ^sticky balloon (for brb) !Spike balloon) etc.

AV side view ... being able to see the side of the av, not just back / front
views


TELEPORTS...
The ability to *say* where you want to be teleported to, instead of finding
a teleport and
clicking or passing through it. Type it in like teleport aeon

Timed Teleports (set it to zap you off on a certain date / time) to a
pre-programmed place.


MISC...
Put the MISC folder somewhere else, not in the cache, because when you
delete the cache you loose that folder!

Expired cits *flag* in the contacts list! Or some way to decipher cits have
expired.

Schedule keeper with pop-up reminders of AW *things to do*.


CONTACTS...
Sortable contacts or lists tab, or the ability to have different contacts in
different lists
for different purposes. For instance, it would be nice for us b'day builders
to be able to
have a contact list of other b'day builders, without having to add everyone
to our main list
for which we'd have no other reason to contact each other. Or perhaps have a
list sortable
by worlds for instance (like I met you at this world along with five others,
and those at
that world, etc). Some way to sort contacts like we can do in text IMs.


BROWSER...
STOP downloads if desired! AND to be able to choose if you want the browser
to use float or
always use a set visibility!

Be able to check a box for either Male or Female tourist av before you enter
awgate or other
tourist worlds ... so ya don't come in as a guy cause that's the first av on
the list, when
yer not a guy! Do it right at the sign-in screen when you click Tourist
button.

Have the browser auto-update the av dat file so when changes are made they
are d/l and
replace the old av dat.

Instead of AFK icon on toolbar, why not have a drop down menu with a few
other choices like:
AFK BRB BBL Doggy Run FOOD POTTY CHORES PHONE IMs <add yours here>

Gee, I wonder where ya got that idea for the avs to store and wear whenever
ya want to ....??? Hmmmm.... hehehhee. Ya also forgot WORKING MIRRORS dear
(shouts it out for AWI to hear if they're awake), and you also forgot that
it would be nice if AWI would update their avs!! Those avs are soooooo
outdated!! Even those boring ones in the 3Dwebsites are better looking than
in aw. The aw avs don't even have noses for crine-aut-laud! Maybe I got
spoiled from using the updated avs at another universe (that used to be the
parent of AW) Sorry, but as much of a fan of COFmeta builds, etc that I am,
I think Shanubia and Hotep should be burned on a bonfire. Whatya think? I
know the technology is out there. I've seen it. And no, the mirrors are NOT
bots such as the ones I"ve seen in some worlds in AW. These are different
since they reflect EVERYTHING in the room including a name tag.

Hey! I like my Hotep av thank you very much =P

Those *mysterious mirrors* for which you speak ROCK! But the idea for
personal avs came from 2D chats in which we make our own avs from any
graphics anywhere, I know this probably can't be done in aw but to have my
own avs would be preferable to me. I do intend to make (model) my own at
some point. From where you speak, I don't really like those avs LOL, kinda
big, bulky ... not really sure how to describe em. But also, I didn't know
you could *make your own avs* there either. Alot to learn still I guess LOL.
There is yet another 3D chat that you can make clothing for males or females
.... they have a standard body and you can either buy or make clothing, etc.
It's expensive to make them tho, you actually have to pay them to submit
your designs ... I don't care for that idea. But to have a couple standard
bodies and to *make outfits* for them, that would rock too! Rambles...

If it happened for multi objects you would lag the browser to crashing
point.

You might as well use a resticted forum or website... Aw isnt designed to
have the equivilent of ACL's

Hey I like this one... A seperate dialog option would be well cool...

> Sound IN avatars.dat file ... you bend over it puts out an errrrm ...
sound

You could bend over and not produce any sound.. it would have to be a
different sound send system (say that 100 times quickly)

This would be quite nice actually, not too hard to do either... lil trig.

Yes... why the hell this was removed I will never understand...

Bot :)

so....delete everything except the misc... erm... not hard really?

Not really suitable specifically, but some notice that the cit is not
available. Specifically for expiring is a bad idea.

> Schedule keeper with pop-up reminders of AW *things to do*.

Now your getting boring...

Birthday builders *shiver*... Right, but in all seriousness for me and
people in organisations (PK's etc) this would be very... very helpful, my
contacts list in AWEdu is currently experiencing 'hugeness' because of
adding every single student in our classes on it... Being able to split it
up into individual universities / schools / classes etc would be great.

This would be very useful, wouldent take too much either... one HTTP
request.

A matter of enumeration...

On your own webspace, served up as any other OP but can be drawn from there
and worn anywhere.

Bot? How so?

[View Quote] The thing is, avatars are currently enumerated by a byte number, 0 to 255
with 250+ being the special avatars. Changing this to a string would require
a complete rework of the protocol, as well as changes to every single bot
that uses avatar detection.

There would also be problems with limiting which avatars could be worn and
their relative sequences (I could open up TS right now and make an avatar so
your 3d screen instantly went pitch black the second you got within 200m of
me)

This is a little app that uses the AWM format to teleport your user around
Active Worlds. Its a simple interface, the 3 up/down buttons control the
hours, minutes and seconds.

You need to locate your aworld.exe directly (because I don't trust AW to
install its reg keys right for MIME).

The EXE path, and last world and coordinates are remembered for next use.
