Calling out to the Community for help

Feb 8, 2003, 9:23pm
Geez you folks are crazy LOL
I think most of the "community spirit" a lot of you have is what comes out
of your ass and gets flushed down the toilet.

News Group - where news is discussed
Community - where topics related to the community are discussed
MrBruce's post are just as relevant as any of you other idiot's post. I
see there are plenty of people who have been willing to step into Eep's and
mgib's shoes in here.

New Curtains

Feb 23, 2003, 4:45pm
Do you need nice Curtain objects that won't be invisible when viewed from
outside a Windows that has transparent glass panes because the curtains you
have use transparency or mask themselves and the AW software is inadequate
at rendering such combinations of objects?

Then take a look at my New Curtain set in Ganymede.

LETS GET THIS STRAIGHT RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Aug 17, 2003, 3:46pm
MrBruce,
I'm not quite sure I'm following this, But if the gist of this is
that

you are selling/leasing access of your object path to other world owners to
use (speaking for myself, but I think most other modelers you may have
purchased from would feel the same)
and you are also providing your object password to those world owners you
are selling/leasing the OP to,
then you would be violating the terms of my models agreements.

I allow purchasers to use the models they buy from me in all worlds they own
in any universes but they are not allowed to give, sell. provide access to
those models to anyone outside of those worlds without my consent.

Now if you are selling/leasing your object path but NOT providing the
password to non-public domain models (like mine) then that's fine. That
would be like AWI used to do in AW. You could build with all models except
their Z objects.

So, if you are selling/leasing your OP to world owners along with the
password to the non-public models then you need to stop now. I sold the
models for use in your worlds not for use in other's worlds and you wold
in essence be giving my models to others if that is the case.

Hope this clears up this thread some.

Condemnation of AW Citizens

Aug 23, 2003, 8:47pm
Some of you folks are behaving like the idiots you are.
Daphne has done as much or more than a lot of you put together for AW and in
many cases I know this 1st hand since I lend a hand or advice on occasion.
And thats not to mention all the help she has given me.
True she can be stubborn and opinionated at times, but as is obvious here,
everyone has faults.
As for Alex complaining about Daphne I still remember waiting about 6
months before I received the avvy 2001 Lifeforms prize for my Manta Av. And
I know of at least one person who when she telegrams Alex with some question
about some of his models or bots receives a response to email him about it.
Too busy to answer questions in AW Alex?
I think you all need to get a grip.

copyright violation

Oct 12, 2003, 5:17am
A note to users buying my models.
If you are thinking of uploading models you buy from me to a Shared or
Rented object path, such as Heartfall Productions rented object path,
don't do it.
My terms of sale do NOT allow my objects and textures to be used on an
object path shared by other worlds owners and doing so is a violation of
copyright by you the purchaser (if you know that the path is shared) and the
Object Path owners/operators.
This came about when last night Lady Murasaki told me she saw some of her
textures on http://www.heartfall.org/wcoltxgals/default.aspx where they had
no right to be so I looked and sure enough I saw some of my non-public
domain textures on there also.
I don't know how they got there but I expect them to be removed and I have
also filed a complaint along with screen shots of their web page showing my
textures and proof of my development of those textures with AWI regarding
Heartfall's violation of copyright and EULA and I believe at least one other
person is filing a complaint also.

Paul

copyright violation

Oct 12, 2003, 2:23pm
I want to say that after talking to InSaNiTy he did remove the textures in
question from the WCOL OP and apparently were not known to be protected
material.

copyright violation

Oct 12, 2003, 6:47pm
You all misinterpreted the complaint.
A purchaser of my model can use the models and textures in there world in
any manner they choose, even to the extent of changing the textures on the
models themselves.
What the purchaser can not do is allow the models and textures to be shared
by other worlds owners by (1) giving them the models or textures, (2)
selling them the models or textures (without my permission), or (3)
uploading to or allowing them to be uploaded to an Object Path that is
shared by other world owners (without my permission).
That is pretty clear and has always been my policy. If you don't agree with
those terms then don't buy my models. Those Terms of User are more
generous than that of many modelers around.

copyright violation

Oct 14, 2003, 9:27pm
yes Lady Nighthawk I did make those textures. I do use public domain
textures too and I would never think of claiming those as my own or where
they can or can not show up. I'm only concerned about the textures I
create. I simply want what is mine used the way the way I state in my Terms
of Use which are clearly posted in Ganymede. Some modelers here don't even
want you to open their rwx files, much less change them. Edit mine anyway
you want as long as they are used only in your worlds. If the surface
light settings or textures don't suit your taste on my models or if there is
a Clump you would not like to be in the model then change it to suit you
as long as you realize that the model is still mine and I'm allowing you to
make any changes you like for your world's use. Just like you can modify
the look of Windows to suite your own taste and add 3rd party windows tools
to help you better use your system. Microsoft allows you to do this but
your windows OS still belongs to Microsoft.
How many modelers around here can you name that will allow you that
flexibility?
You want to use what you buy and I want what I sell to be protected by the
people who buy it :) That's all.

Technozeus needs our help......!!!!

Oct 28, 2003, 8:31am
Technozeus, I can only say that I think if I were in your situation that I
would try talking to the D.A. and Attorney General where you live and
explain the situation and see what if any help they might can give you or
advice and if you do local charity help then tell them that and that they
can contact whomever you know locally who can vouch for your character and
maybe they can tell you better how to proceed or maybe even intercede on
your behalf ( like especially if you are a church member and could get your
pastor/preacher/whatever to talk to your D.A. or Attorney General with you).
Just a thought.

Something's not right!

Nov 3, 2003, 1:41pm
If you are crashing a lot in your world you can try this to maybe help
restrict reloading.
(1) reload everything in your world.
(2) copy your world cache folder to another drive or backup folder
Then if you crash delete your world cache folder and copy the good
folder from the back up back into the AW cache. Then you won't have to
reload unless the back up is older than the 10080 (1 week). if you don't
make many changes to your OP (new models or textures) then you could set
your world refresh to say 30080 instead of 10080 (approx 3 weeks) and the
backup wold be good a little longer.

Also try not to teleport in and out of your world or other worlds until the
downloads are done and that may help reduce some crashes but not all.
3.4 is just too buggy and does crash a lot for no reason (related to
anything in the OP, models, textures, etc. unless maybe it's odd sized
textures).

New Fountains

I have some new Brass and Silver Fountains for sale in Ganymede for any who
are interested.
I suggest setting Vis low to avoid a big download.
May have to start reverting to some pictures of some of the models instead
of displaying all the models in world.

URGENT NEWS BULITEN FOR ENTIRE ACTIVE WORLDS COMMUNITY

Nov 25, 2003, 3:10am
A lot of people go around downloading screen savers and Theme files and
some of these install ad ware/registry entries. A friend of mine on ICQ
just went through this and started getting popup add every time she open IE
no matter that the web sties she went to didn't have popup ads. Just the
fact that she opened IE after installing the Windows Themes she had
downloaded and installed put some ad ware on her systems and she had to
unistall the themes (and guess what, the uninstaller didn't work so had to
uninstall the stuff manually) and then run a Spybot S&D scan and AdAware
scan to get rid of the ad garbage and registry entries.
All that hassle for some pretty pictures.

$6.95 Too Much?

Jan 30, 2004, 2:14am
Actually you don't know what most people pay per month for anything. You
can only guess based on your own spending preferences and income level. I
don't drink coffee and I haven't been to a movie in 15 or 20 years . I know
of a number of people in here past and present that have a hard time
justifying paying $70 a year for AW. Maybe it is worth that but that
doesn't mean everyone can afford it any more than everyone can afford to get
rich in the stock market while the poor get poorer.
Just like I don't sell models to try and get rich, I need the additional
income (1) to help pay for AW and (2) to help pay bills. There are others
in AW in the same boat and some who have left who liked it here but just
can't afford it and have gone to CNW or DLP.

$6.95 Too Much?

Jan 31, 2004, 8:44am
If you do want another place to chat you can go to Belladora's new Galaxy
CASTLES. You can go in for free as a Tourist or if you want to be a cit
there you can pay the 19.95/year. The number of people online varies a lot
but she has over 100 members now and it's only been open a few months. At
times you may not find anyone in there or you may find 3 or 8 or 10 or more.
Most are all her old Castles friends from when she had her worlds Castles
here in AW and you will find everyone there nice. You can download her
browser at www.belladora.com .

CY was one of the original AW avatars so any copyright to the word CY and
anything using that word would belong to AWI.

Jan 31, 2004, 7:19pm
I think that if Wiz bought the domain with the word CY in it without AWI's
consent that he be violating AWI's copyright. Now they may not have cared
or known that he was the one who bought that domain. But I think it would
be the same type of situation if some one made a female avatar and called it
CYrina or something. Would have to have permission from AWI to do that in
my opinion.

T+L

Feb 4, 2004, 6:14pm
I'm not sure I'm following this thread but here are my thought about sound
regarding AW and outside AW.
First off I have a dual CPU motherboard. I have (2) Pentium III 650Mhz
cpu's on my motherboard which is a Supermicro P6DGU. Multiple CPU's are
more performance for application that are written to support SMP
(Symmetrical Multiprocessing) with Windows 2000 and Windows XP OS's what
support SMP. Windows ME and 98 do not support SMP and thus multiple CPU's.
But when it comes to sound the problem is that Sound card manufacturers like
Creative Labs and most all the rest have not and are not writing sound card
drivers that support SMP motherboards and so sound cards tend to have
problems on Windows 2000 and XP systems that have multiple CPU's.
On top of that sound support in AW and gotten terrible since all versions
after AW 3.0, at least for me. Sound in AW used to work fine in AW 2.2 and
3.0 And I think even in 3.1. But from 3.2 and above sound as been terrible
and the wav and mp3 and even Midi file break up. Especially if you are
doing something outside of AW. And I believe it stems from them switching
to use the Direct 3D Sound interface. I'm not saying the problem is Direct
3D sound because the DXDiag sound test all pass on my system. But just
like bugs in the rest of AW browser I don't think they have a handle on
the sound programming either.
Also, Microsoft's Windows Media Player is really lousy on Windows 2000 and
XP systems and I have the same problems with sounds breaking up because they
are apparently not devoting enough CPU thread overhead to the processes.
That's why I use Real Player One because it plays mp3's much more reliably
on my system. I don't like Real's policies about cookies and their
background tracking programs but I have a firewall running and I have
blocked access to their spyware files so they can't access the internet and
send any unwanted information yet the Real Player still functions and all I
get is one cookie which I can delete with AdSubtract Pro periodically. And
I believe Windows Media Player puts a cookie in also.
So as far as AW sounds I just leave them turned off. But I'm 52 now and
don't care much for the sounds anyway. Guess I'm getting old.
BTW updating to the newest sound card drivers does not help. I've tried that
so many times (and actually made things worse) that I've totally given up on
Creative Labs developing reliable drivers for Win 2k and XP. In fact I now
count Creative Labs like ATI and Matrox. They are 3 companies whose
products I won't buy any more for any systems that are going to run AW.

You should not uncheck T&L though. It will cause your frame rate to drop
substantially and cause you a lot of lag in AW.
