Drop Menu Sequences? (Wishlist)
Drop Menu Sequences? // Wishlistjohn doughJan 31, 2005, 5:39am
Something I've thought about for quite some time but never thought to post
here is creating some form of drop down menu for the avatar sequences, instead of the buttons currently used. Dont know how easy it would be to do or if it's even possible, but sure would be nice to allow more than a 1/2 dozen sequences (with full names) or more if you use shortened names like D1, D2 etc which means nothing to most people and doesnt look that professional. If not a drop down menu, maybe a popup Actions Window? Anything that would allow a few more actions with FULL names might really be nice :) lord fettJan 31, 2005, 6:00am
Yea, and maybe a way to categorize the sequences as well... for example,
have a category of "Dance" where you could stick all your dance sequences (because some people have 4+ different types) and that can free up room horizontally on the bar. [View Quote] lady nighthawkJan 31, 2005, 8:04pm
Great suggestions you two!
It would be nice to also sort *paid for* seqs from freely gotten seqs. I know, anyone can get any seq, doesn't make it right tho ... especially if someone took the time to make it and sells it. Some people ask for someone to make them seqs exclusively only for others to see them and help themselves. There should also be a way to protect seqs if you have paid for them, without exposing your op pw in the process :o/ LNH -- [View Quote] john doughJan 31, 2005, 8:55pm
Isn't it possible to password protect the zipped sequence files? I'm not
sure as I have never tried. But I'm pretty sure you can, just the same as you do your objects. If a person was concerned with theft, that would be a start. Although now that I think about it, when you load the sequences in their world, and it downloads to your cache, the file doesn't get 'deformed' (encrypt, decrypt, decode, whatever it is called) as do textures and models, which brings up yet another Wishlist Idea....... Could AW not 'deform' the downloaded .seq file the same as they do objects and textures, thus protecting them from theft? [View Quote] lady nighthawkJan 31, 2005, 8:58pm
Sure, but pw'g it leaves it open to hacking if it can be viewed as a text
file, or so I'm told ... that's how OP pws are stolen is because people pw protect their seqs :o/ If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will *correct me* or even elaborate further. LNH -- [View Quote] strike rapierFeb 1, 2005, 8:14am

Ya but aren't they read in text format from a seq or some other text
readable file? LNH -- [View Quote] strike rapierFeb 2, 2005, 1:22pm
ZIP passwords are not the actual passwords, the password produces a set of
keys - comparing a zip with a password and one without is called plain text comparison / comparing the keys - it gives the a password. But proxy > Decoder > read is the easiest way, but only a few people have access to that, 2 or 3. - MR [View Quote] |
