AWGZ wouldn't be the best place IMO. Too many cits that can't move would
most likely vote (caused by the Juno effect and now the Calgari thing is going to bring more). Of course, Calgari's users are probably a bit smarter than Juno's. Perhaps a website poll would be more effective. Put a sign up at AWGZ notifying those there of it's presence, ask object yard operators to put it up, etc. -- Wing This little spot is dedicated to my girl, Jessie.

YOU FOOL! have you ever seen the difference between walk029.rwx and

Know much about objects, Kah? Doesn't seem like it. AW's objects are going to need to have their surfaces changed if they want to be able to reflect light more realistically. Currently, most AW's objects are .5 .3 .1. They should at least be increased to .5 .5 .1 (though specularity has no effect in AW3+, but AW 2.2 users--yes, they still exist--can still see it) or a higher diffusion so light is reflected more. I use .5 1 0 but in AW 2.2 polygons facing the light source are white, but in AW3+ they're simply brighter. So I figure .5 .5 0 or even .5 .75 0 is a good tradeoff if AWCI wants to support AW 2.2 more (which they probably should since not everyone has a 3D card--hard to believe as that may be).
Oh and the correct subject reply prefix is "Re:" not "SV:".

Until there's an RWX Modeler worth using that gives me the control editing them in text files does, perhaps. However, a GUI to add avatars (and their SEQs, sounds, etc) to a world would be MUCH more user-friendly and easier to use than having to edit avatars.dat.

Eh? If your referring to using a bot to replace the objects. that'll work,
but how many people in AW will know how to do that?

For AW world - not sure, make people vote would be the best instead of risking hundreds of mad builders. A decision that came through a vote is better to take than not beeing asked at all, although still some will be mad, in either case.

Totally; hardly anyone bitched when most of AW's textures were mindlessly resized to 256x256 instead of getting the original, larger versions and resizing them down to 256x256 like they should've been. AWCI obviously needs to go back to image editing 101 and learn about pixelation.

The problem is that, like colorizing old movies, you are changing things that were created with a different scheme in mind.

Well, that's why Facter said a test world with probably AlphaWorld GZ in it will be done to show what it'll look like before it's applied to all of AlphaWorld. He and AWCI (according to him) don't think AlphaWorld will be affected much by the change since .3 diffusion isn't that much light reflection in AW3+ anyway.

None of the original textures WERE larger...that is, not what was brought into AW. Almost every texture in AW was stolen from somewhere else. :)
