Could Lighting in AW be brought back? (Community)
Could Lighting in AW be brought back? // Communityjohn doughJan 10, 2005, 11:37pm
Well I have seen the effects of light used in vandalism, in AAWR last week
someone had posted a thousand signs throughout the world with light radius & brightness of 1000, which virtually blinded anyone entering anywhere in the world, and made slower computers hang. I don't know that masks or transparencies would create the same problem to require the need of disabling. Although vandals creating hundreds of transparent objects is a pain, and I wouldn't want to imagine the effects of this coupled with the above light commands! But I still don't think this would be possible in any respect as neither are a actual downloadable file which can be blocked as sound is. I also don't think any GOOD idea is a waste of time, I can understand AW's viewpoint that they can't go updating browsers for every single little upgrade every other day (or at least I'd hope they wouldn't) and I know if the idea is in fact a good one, they will attempt to incorporate it into their next revision. Just my opinion of course ;) John Dough Worlds: Arc, AAWR, Saffron Website: www.arcworld.net Email: arcworld at shaw.ca [View Quote] sweJan 11, 2005, 12:30am
hmmm, actually see where your coming from. guess it could be useful. guess
only reason i thought it was a waste of time was becuase i never experienced a problem with light vadalism, but i don't really move around much. well guess you're right, could be useful. -SWE [View Quote] |
