I dunno, but tyrell is right =P

If you wanna explore, you'll be busy for days looking at SW City, 350
buildings.

aka: AW 2217.4s 3609.8e 90

those teleport.cgi? things have never worked for me. all that happens is my
MIE tries to download a file, that file being a dummy file with the link
inside it. Anyone have any clues on how to fix that?

Download the file, open it. (Aw needs to be open)

Vevo's AW mapper has instructions on how to set up external web browsers
to handle teleport links... here's the C&P :)

in Netscape Navigator (Communicator) 4.x:
Edit menu
Preferences...
Navigator -> Applications category
New Type... button
Description of type: Active Worlds teleport location
File extension: aw (or nothing at all)
MIME Type: application/x-activeworld
Application to use: your full path to aworld.exe
OK button
OK button

in Netscape Navigator 3.x:
Options menu
General Preferences...
Helpers tab
Create New Type... button
MIME Type: application
MIME SubType: x-activeworld
OK button
Launch the Application... radio button
(fill in the entry field with your full path to aworld.exe)
OK button

for Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x or 4.x:
open Windows Explorer (e.g., Start -> Programs -> Windows
Explorer)
View menu
Options...
File Types tab
New Type... button
Description of type: Active Worlds teleport
Associated extension: cgi (or nothing at all)
Content Type (MIME): application/x-activeworld
New... button
Action: Open
Application used to perform action: your full path to
aworld.exe
uncheck Confirm open after download box
OK button
Close button
Close button

Hope that helps :)

Thanks Goober... That fixed it :o) Its surprising that the AW
installation program doesn't put in that setting as part of the process.

If I remember right - a couple years ago I went through the instructions
given by Vevo, but it didn't work at the time. Either I did something wrong
or its been updated recently.

Regards, Justin

Roland has just advised that AW version 3.0 installation does have the
update to the browser so that html teleport links work.

I can't run 3.0 so never installed it. :o)

I'm assuming it's pretty much the same, since all version of IE use
Windows' File Type settings... Netscape has it's own set of File Type
settings, which is why the instructions are different.

Wouldn't really know since he avoids IE like the plague...
