I dunno, but tyrell is right =P
If you wanna explore, you'll be busy for days looking at SW City, 350 buildings. http://objects.activeworlds.com/cgi-bin/teleport.cgi?aw_2217.4s_3609.8e_90 aka: AW 2217.4s 3609.8e 90 just inNov 27, 2000, 9:51pm
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? .... Justin [View Quote] goober kingNov 28, 2000, 1:23am
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 :) [View Quote] -- Goober King Felt it needed to be said for all the newbies... rar1 at acsu.buffalo.edu just inNov 28, 2000, 8:20pm
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 [View Quote] tony56Nov 28, 2000, 9:33pm
You got instructions for MSIE 5?

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) Regards, Justin [View Quote] goober kingNov 29, 2000, 2:18am
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. [View Quote] -- Goober King Wouldn't really know since he avoids IE like the plague... rar1 at acsu.buffalo.edu |
