It would be sooo nice to have settable chat ranges :-) so that it doesn't
have to necessarily be 20 coords :-)

This is possible in 3.4. It's been called chat zones.

Yeah, and with 3.4 we have finally nuked the cylinder chat radial

[View Quote] But theoretically, that's how it works. I mean your talking range isn't a square or
an parallelogram or something like that. Unless I missed something, someplace.

That's not a 3.4 feature. You need a bot for that... and even if it was a version 3.4 feature, being able to set up chat zones and being able to customize the chat range are two totally different things.

It requires a bot, but it wouldn't work well without 3.4.

That is true. The support for that type of bot does require a version 3.4 world. NewAW uses a modified version 3.4 world, but even there it requires more than just the 3.4 browser and world server.

It was at one point a square vertical prism. Then a cube. If it has changed to a cylindar I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised but I haven't tested that lately. I did try to run a test of the exact shape of the current chat range, but after going through the trouble of managing to get two copies of the beta running, without it throwing me out of one of them for being a tourist, and then finding a world that allowed tourists, local teleports, and flying, I found that I still couldn't run a proper test because every time I teleport... I fall.

I should clarify that, for those who aren't on the beta... when I said current, in that context, I meant the version of Active Worlds that I am currently testing.

Agreed. It *Should* Be

Perhaps a world option would be even better.

bugger the world option, my chat is (for the most part) spherical, not cubic
