Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Who else would (or COULD) think of taking ordinary objects such as a lamp,
a TV, or a computer and creating virtual images thereof (and make them look
so REAL in the process :-))???

One thing *I* would like to see is a street object that curves much a "C"

easier.... :-)

How 'bout rotating them according to VRT??? And add WEATHER effects too...
:-)

I wouldn't mind a car avatar (even in Alpha prime) as I've often had the

I hafta sometime keep telling them to think of it as a Honda motorcycle.

Aside from that, I really can't think of anything offhand right now.... :-)

Feb 28, 2003, 6:52am
Hi everyone:

[View Quote] I don't agree with this because Tourist builds, NO MATTER HOW GREAT THEY
ARE, can (and in the VAST MAORITY of the cases WILL) be deleted or damaged
by a citizen. Look at the number of fragmented tourist builds on AW today.
Look at the number of tourist builds which are now COMPLETELY gone because a
citizen either didn't like it or wanted to build something else where the
tourist build was standing. Given this, there's NO incentive for a tourist
to keep on building.

I say - AND I WILL REPEAT (again!) - Give tourists ACCESS to AlphaWorld, but
DO NOT give 'em building rights

> 2. Drop the price of citizenship to $35 per year.

This I **TOTALLY** agree with.

So can a PK equipped with ejection privs. Anyone who's acting like an ass

As such, I often wonder WHY FierceFerrette uses the mapper when laying down

encounter WITHIN THE AW BROWSER while laying down road. :-)

OTOH....When laying down road, there's NOTHING more frustrating than running
into objects I didn't even know existed BECAUSE THE MAP DOES NOT SHOW
THEM!!!! :-(

IDEA: Radio/TV Station Directory...

Apr 17, 2003, 11:17pm
Hi everyone:

I have an idea which doesn't really need to be on the wishlist and can be
done by the AW Community :-)

As I write this, I am on my way from Hamsterville to Blankaborg to pay
BlankaM and his/her wonderful town a visit (In fact I'm sitting on the
highway out in the middle of nowhere at 4280N 1080E headed SE right now),
but as I was driving down the road, I stumbled across a BRILLIANT IDEA!!!

What if someone kept a directory of Internet Radio stations serving a
particular towmn and/or world complete with primary genre as well as Virtual
TV stations that do the same. then this way, for example, people visiting
Hamsterville could listen to MusicRadio 102X (a Soft Rock/Oldies AC
station), Jeeper One Red & Blue Networks (a pair of Old Time Radio stations)
or either one of the Jeeper One Comedy Network stations (one is a dialup
station and the other is a broadband station). In addition, visitors could
watch the local TV stations (once they're online) too.

And if you're sitting out in the middle of nowhere like I am now, one could
listen to one of the MANY "virtual satellite" stations out there with NO
ties to any particular town (such as WOLF-FM).once you "drive out of range"
of a station serving a particular town or teleport from one world to
another. :-)

Comments anyone?? :-)

IDEA: Radio/TV Station Directory...

Apr 19, 2003, 7:38pm
Hi everyone:

[View Quote] It can be simpler than that Comit ( think Goober's just having a bad
day/start to weekend or something :-)), but what I was talking about is
basically localized content (or VIRTUAL signal strength as it were). The
directory can be a simple web page on a freebie service like Tripod which is
updated periodically and would consist of the following....

* Station name (obviously)
* Station Genre(s)
* Station's make-believe Frequency (if applicable)
* Station Website
* Player(s) required to listen to the station
* Distance in all 8 directions (in meters) from town in which the station
can be "heard" (suggested distance being 500 meters from the edge of town,
but can, of course, vary depending on terrain, VIRUAL signal strength and
other factors)

Mind you, none of this is in any particular order, but is merely an example
:-)

Of course, Internet Radio stations have no barriers as far as how far its
signal goes, but the content can be localized. Once you're beyond the
content range of the station, about the only way you're going to partake in
an event is if you either A). Race back to town or B). Teleport or warp
yourself to the event.

TV stations could be listed in a similar fashion as all that would be need
is the following....

* Station Name or Make Believe Call Letters (obviously)
* Station Channel No.
* Station Website or Webpage (if applicable)
* Information on how the station can be viewed
* Distance in all 8 directions (in meters) from town in which the station
can be "viewed" (suggested distance being 500 meters from the edge of town,
but can, of course vary depending on terrain, VIRTUAL signal strength and
other factors)

Again....None of this is in any particular order, but is merely an example
:-)

Of course, Internet or Virtual TV stations have no barriers as far as how
far its signal goes, but the content can be localized. Once you're beyond
the content range of the station, about the only way you're going to partake
in an event is if you either A). Race back to town or B). Teleport or warp
yourself to the event.

Additionally, signs can be posted like billboards throughout town and in the
surrounding coverage area so visitors will know where to tune in for all the
latest happenings in and around town.

Of course, virtual signal strengths can also vary on you imagination as
well. All that's needed is a little CREATIVITY. :-)

Finally, if you don't want your station to have ANY limits whatsoever (like
ABN, XEON, etc.), then your station can be listed as ORIGINATING from a
particular town or world (In other words, if Fox News were to be listed, it
would be listed as being a network or station from New York as that's where
it's headquarters are).

Do ya follow my idea NOW Goober?? :-)

Hope this helps :-)

Cheers for now everyone :-)

Does ANYONE Know How To Make (or where I can get) The following....

Apr 19, 2003, 8:02pm
Hi everyone:

I've got a few building projects in mind (yes I said BUILDING projects....As
in I actually CREATE A BUILDING), however in order to do them the way I'd
like, I need to know how I can make (or whwe I can get) the following....

* Budweiser logo (I know FierceFerrette has a Miller Beer logo in his bar on
Abbey Road) but I'd like a Budweiser logo for events and a sports bar I plan
to build near Bear Stadium in the Cedar Town District (there is some open
space nearby that I can take up)

* Sale mages of electronics and furniture stores - After seeing the shopping
mall BlankaM built in Blankaborg, I figured a shopping mall would look nice
in Hamsterville as well. However, I'd like to have it sell MORE than just
clothes. I plan on adding a few electronics and maybe furniture stores as
well (No...I don't plan on making any REAL $$$ off this mall, it's strictly
a virtual mall :-)). Some sale images from grocery stores would be useful
as well, though maybe not neccessarly for the mall

* Gas Station Bell - A good sized town like Hamsterville needs a place for
someone to get some go juice for their car. However, I'm thinking about
building the gas stations around Hamsterville a lot like the full service
stations of yesteryear in the RW (Remember the old Conoco, Texaco, Amoco, or
Phillips 66 your parents or grandparents used to go to when you were just a
kid in the back seat always asking the question of "Are We There Yet?" that
your kids ask nowadays) :-) I can embed this bell within an object which
would sound when someone pulls into the station. :-)

If anyone could help me out here, it would be appreciated (Even source URLs
would do if the image isn't on a service which blocks remote linkage of
images). :-)

Many thanks in advance & Cheers for now :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] If so, then I suppose we should all take down all the Coke-a-Cola and other

AlphaWorld??

Besides, it's not like AWI is making $$$ off of AlphaWorld or featuring it
on their website....

Now, as for the Budweiser logo itself....Justin, do you know of a version
which can be used on a sign in a banner-like fashion (the one I got comes
with a bottle). Does anyone else??Just curious. Not that it's not usable,
but if I can get one that's NOT shaped like a bottle, that would be better
IMO... :-)

FWIW...I made sure the snack bar at my Drive-In theater was equipped with a

I don't know if there is a better object to better imitate a vending

Ever since DfameD not only left town, but TOOK HIS PROPERTY WITH HIM (or
deleted it and never relocated it), I've been stuck fixing and straightening
roads I had to previously alter to accomondate him and his property (which
he NEVER finished I might add), so I'm using this as an opportunity to

Registering on AWNews (which IS BTW Goober's OWN SITE and has NO LEGAL

And to have them back WITHOUT A PRICE for World Owners. I know Hamsterville
will flourish once tourists see the town and realize that citizenship DOES
have its advantages. :-)

Plus, it'll make putting together a Convention & Visitors Bureau more
worthwhile too. :-)

Speaking of tours, a BRILLIANT idea just hit me (I know...this could be a
scary thought coming from me), but has anyone in the community thought of
SPONSORING tours of the AW Universe before tourists were costly (if not
unaffordable altogether by MANY World Owners)?? If not, maybe this is
something the AW Community might wanna pursue should tourists be allowed
back on Non-AWI worlds and AlphaWorld (Uhh....ohh...Me gets the feeling he

If ya go about 30-35 miles (or roughly 5000 meters) to the North, you just
might catch ME building away in Hamsterville. :-)

BTW....Out of curiosity, here's a couple math questions to challenge the
mathmeticians amongst us (and to jog my now-half-mushrrom of a brain with).

1). How many meters are there in a mile?
2). To post a sign announcing mileage between two towns using an oddball
direction (such as NW), I assume I add up the total mileage in both
directions and divide by 2. Am I correct on this?

The reason I ask this is becuase I have a sign at the very southern tip of
Blankaborg and I would love VERY MUCH to convert the distance in meters to
distance in miles to keep it AT LEAST fairly consistent with the other signs
in the Blankaborg Metro area. :-)

Thanks a bunch in advance for the answers & Cheers for now :-)

without building rights). Hopefully the results of this poll will force

tourists back onto AW, but WITHOUT building rights, isn't as bad of an idea

STUMPER ALERT - What Does Anyone Make Of This??

May 2, 2003, 6:13pm
Hi everyone:

Been busy expanding the Riverside Expressway from Hamsterville all the way
down to SW City and got as far as 2914N 2780E (I know the highway looks like
it's running in circles in that area) when I came across this at 350 meters
below AW.....

http://musicradio102x.tripod.com/alphaworld2914n2780e.jpg

Can't tell what it is, but whatever it is, it won't allow me to go below 350
meters NOR can I add more road about 2 meters above the surface either.
Near as I cal tell, there's nothing ABOVE me preventing me from moving
further westward either (I've been up and down AW lioke a freakin' JUMPIN'
JACK deleting useless road for one reason or another all day today it's been
so bad :-( ).

Tried all three rendering options available to me. Get the same picture
each time. I can move from side to side and go up, but NOT down....

Am I just not looking hgh enough or have I stumbled across one of those
weird oddball unrenderable objects one only finds underground?? I hope it's
just my brain being the mushroom it is (couldn't sleep a wink last night -
too much caffeine before bedtime).

Note, my version of the AW Browser is 3.4 Beta (cache obviously NOT cleared)
and the view is with me looking level.

(preferably when my batteries are FULLY CHARGED and my brain is NOT a
mushroom :-)), I'll try looking further up than I had been before.
Hopefully whatever's keeping me from adding more road isn't so far up I can

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] [snip....]

I'm curious Lady...

When you post something, WHY do you srtart a WHOLE NEW THREAD just to add
more to what you said in a previous post in a DIFFERENT thread???? I'm
referring to the "More Comments" and "Comments - More" threads. I've always
thought the etiquette of newsgroup posting was to keep posts relating to a
thread CONFINED to that particular thread and NOT use someone else's post
(such as swe's in the above case as he has yet to post in this thread I
might add) as a reason to start a NEW thread simply because the old one just
became to unbearable to read.

It'd be one thing IF you were to add a comment or two and then move on to
allow your post to cover something else completely different (such as I did
in my last post in the STUMPER ALERT thread which I started when I went on
to ask a couple math questions), but all I've seen from YOU is the same ol'
same ol' BLATHERINGS over and over again like a broken record. As it stands
now, you have (at least) THREE threads which basically cover THE SAME
THING!!!

Have you EVER thought of CONSOLIDATING your posts into ONE thread??? At
least mrbruce got the clue or he'd have had AT LEAST two more threads posted
by now. Perhaps you should follow his cue. You could learn a thing or two
from him.

Just a thought.... :-)
