From deep in the vaults of the AW Skunkworks, come several new developments
!

After a meeting the other day, I put forth the idea of opening up the Z
objects for building in Alphaworld - and, it was accepted.

Some of the changes outlined below have *already* come into effect, and some
of them will come into effect at any time this afternoon - sorry, there is
no definate time for all of this, except this afternoon...

1) The new objects, are known as the X objects. These are Z objects that
have merely had the Z changed to an X. We have done this, so as not to break
anything existing and to also retaint he ability to let us use protected Z
objects in the future. There are one or two Z objects that have not been
added, due to size etc. The registry addition here is almost exactly the
same as the WildAW object registry in regards to Z objects. As noted, the
new registry should go into effect this afternoon.

2) I updated the Alphaworld objects, textures on the webpage
(http://www.activeworlds.com/tech/objects.html) - this is the most current
package, and it was really due for an update (my, I have been productive)

3) Mars objects have been placed on the webpage. This includes objects,
avatars, sounds and sequences. You may freely use these in your own worlds.

4) Pollen will be opened to public building sometime this afternoon. This is
a dynamic world, things could change whenever..err, really, I want them to.
Climate may change, lighting may change, strange things may emminate fromt
he ground. It is an experimental world - but I have increased its size, and
user limit for anyone interested in experimenting, then you are welcome to
do it in here. The first 50 cords or so are blocked out for special
development, but the rest of it..for for your life. This is still a private
world of mine, not an official AW.com world, but, lets call it a
"semi-official" world - its really just my way of saying "come play at my
house". There are some broken objects (over 4500 objects are in there), some
broken av's..that kind of thing...as I said, its a large scale experimental
environment - but now it'll be open to all =) All that remains is to put in
the registry, and if I can get Andras's reg builder to stop quitting after a
few lines then it'll be done in a jiffy =)

I hope you all like these new developments. I've been working hard on them
to get this stuff done for all of you. I am sure there are going to be
problems associated - jsut let me know as soon as somerhing comes up so I
can get it fixed okay ?

Enjoy =)

I would like to deeply thank you for letting citizens be able to use the
X objects, updating the AW zip files, letting citizens build in your
personal world, and (especially) releasing the Mars objects, avatars,
etc. for download. *cheers for Facter* =)

Wow, you sure do know how to suck up to me :)
Can't wait to get my grubby little fingers on those former z objects.

Hiya...
Is it just me... of all the z turned x objects that I have tried in AW the
only one that I can see so far is the xiggy4.rwx. All of the others just
stay little black triangles.

[View Quote] Try killing your cache, logging in and out, force it to download.

The machine is unix, so it may have some case-sensitivity problems, but it
*shouldnt*....there are some objects that have different cases...I might
tomorrow go through and lower case everything =)

Hi again...
I closed AW, deleted the whole cache and came back in. I redownloaded
everything but I still can't see the x objects except for the xiggy4 and
xcart. I tried bouncing several times and restarting AW a few times. Is
this happening to anyone else?
Thanx,
Jynx

I've been trying to download the marsavs.zip but it says the page cannot be
found. I was able to get to the downloads for the other zip files. Is the
page down or is it just me?
Thanx again,
Jynx

Thanks Facter :o)

However I can't see most of them...most of them just remain triangles and
thats it. :o(

I Deleted the cache
Exit and re-entered
Still the same problem
Exited
Deleted the cache again
Rebooted the computer
Entered

As with jynx, I can only see the xiggy4.rwx and the xcart.rwx in Alphaworld
so far

Just a run down


There are some problems, I believe they are associated to the case-sensitive
nature of some ISP's and the fact that the objects are on a Solaris machine.
I'll have to go thorugh tomorrow morning and fix them all up by hand.

The other thing, is I made a typo on the mars avatars - my apologies, it
will be fixed first thing in the morning.

Pollen is now open for building - with all of its flaws =)

i don't know if this is the reason or not, but i know the following to be
true from when i was messing with my AV files... seems some servers keep a
cache of what's available.. perhaps it's not cached correctly.. maybe before
you go to bed tonight, dump your aw cache, then when you log on the next day
see if it works, that'll give your isp a chance to del their cache or update
it or whatnot.. (they don't seem to hold onto their cache for more then a
few hours)
