i insanely agree with you.. i spent hours sorting my avatars.dat list.. if
there was something with a GUI you don't even know how much less time it
would have tooken..

Then they should have left the ones alone in which larger versions weren't available. They replaced some with entirely new ones (which I think most are better), however. But to mindlessly resize 128x128 to 256x256 does nothing except waste memory and download time.

You wouldn't happen to have any of the original versions at higher resolutions or uncompressed formats (BMP, TGA, TIF, etc), would you, Rus? I'm specifically interested in fall_g but will take any others. I've telegrammed AWCI people numerous times about this but they never respond.

No as I say, they were stolen from elsewhere, mostly by Danny who no longer works with AW and who probly wouldn't have saved the originals anyway.

I don't give a shit if they were stolen. I'm hardly disappointed by it either. ;P But AWCI has to have the original, uncompressed (non-JPG) BMPs/TGAs/whatever of most of the textures...

I know that, I was just referring to your "AWCI has to have the original,
uncompressed (non-JPG)
if they were stolen in the jpg format... But as you know i'm not AWCI and
don't know if it's the case or not (although dataman seems to say so). It
was no offence, just a thought :o).

Doesn't surprise me in the least. They'll just continue modifying the
modified ones losing image quality each time until it all goes to hell
instead of converting directly from the originals.

Do you not know how to read, Fox? I already stated that AWCI changed SOME of the then 128x128 textures to 256x256 and didn't simply RESIZE them like they did SOME others. I'm just curious if they missed some (fall_g, etc) since they're not thorough and consistent at other things (except being inept). Pay attention and read more carefully before you respond to my posts.

Yes, I like this idea. I see two options, either make all the current
objects under a different name then somehow go through the AW database and
change everything around (kinda intrusive if you ask me) or make an entirely
new object set - could be the same objects, with a prefix or something like
that. Maybe this would also be a good chance to get a naming convention
down -- they tried that and it seems to have fallen through IMO

I think all the objects should be replaced with the new liteable objects. It
will not effect older builds in anyway whatsoever. Only if you put a create
light brightness=100 next to it, lol Besides AW already has light
restrictions in the world settings that should not effect any old builds
whatsoever, someone would have to literally build 20 meters away and set out
to destroy the look of someones build to accomplish that, lol So I say
change them ALL :)

Mar 5, 2001, 8:05pm

That's not entirely true. With "texturemode lit" added, objects facing light sources (including the single world light source) will be brighter on one side than on the other facing away from the light source. However, surface .5 .3 0 (standard settings for AlphaWorld objects) won't make that much of a difference for light reflectivity. However, it WILL make a difference on objects that did not HAVE "texturemode lit" on them before since they will now look slightly darker on one side, but this won't be as drastic and damaging as some people (Lara et al) think.

Anyway, I would recommend using at least surface .5 .5 0 or .5 .75 0 or even .5 1 0 (like I do in Hole and Cubed, but AW 2.2 users see white on the sides facing the light because the lighting has changed in AW3+).

I still say change them all, look at what happened to 3.0 users with the
mask commands, if we can tolerate that then 2.2 and 2.3 browser people might
have to tolerate a little glare on white objects I guess. Eventually
everyone gets use to their environments once it's done it's done. I say deal

I say people shell out the measly $50 for an adequate enough 3D card (3Dfx Voodoo3, for example) and upgrade to AW3+ and be done with it. Most 3D games don't even support software rendering anymore so why should AW? Oh, right, I "forgot": AW is still YEARS behind most 3D games...

I use NT4 and will continue using it as long as possible, so I cannot
use AW3.x either - not before there will be OpenGL support. The reason
why I don't "upgrade" is that I don't want to loose the quality that NT4
has after several bugfixes - I would have access to all windows
versions. Running Linux as second OS would be an option as I worked on
Unix in several projects - but not any of NT5, 2K, 98, CE, ME as long as
I can avoid it.

Hopefully XP won't be the overhyped bug-ridden POS that Win2k and ME have
been. And if they dumb it down anymore, I'll still be using 4 year old
software (Win98) until it's no longer supported by what I need to do.
