  1. Can't make any of this work and it is supremely frustrating. I did everything as outlined above, got Winamp, Shoutcast, the streaming host thru Centova as suggested by the OP, filled in all the fields correctly afaik, nothing works. People I ask just point me to yet another tutorial which is vastly unhelpful and frankly a little rude. I am getting sick and tired of being told how "easy" it all is....it isn't.

  2.   If you load the item that you want to find in the room you're working on.  Say a kitchen and you have your house built.  You clear all props, load the kitchen, select it all, raise it high then Merge in your room with your house.  You'll have the kitchen way up high so all you have to do is move it in place into your house.

    I....think perhaps we have a language barrier here, sorry but I just don't understand you. What do you mean 'If you load the item that you want to find in the room you're working on'? Like I said, when I merge the item, it appears somewhere random, not in the room I am working on. And how would I load just my kitchen?? 'Merge in your room with your house'...that doesn't even make sense.

     

    Does anyone else understand this explanation? If so, please clue me in. Thanks.

  3. as far as I understood MarMohan:

     

    you can load the item you want to add first and merge in your room, this way you can select the item.

     

     

     

    a very basic approach which I like to use is adding a 10x10 meter block in pink to the item... impossible to miss then :)

    Ok, that's definitely an idea, although you still have to hunt for the item even on a blank map. There are some out there which remain hidden even on a completely blank map.

  4. You can to reverse load and select them, move them way high up in the air so it's above what you're presently building so you can find it.  Then if the same setting for day or night, cloudy what have you.  You can easily find them once you load the room you're working on.

    I'm not sure I understand you...are you saying to load the item on a blank map by itself, then when I load my own house it will be there? I'm very confused.

  5. I love finding and downloading all the inventive items people share, but there's one huge problem---whenever I load them into my map, there's no telling where they will appear...it's like a game of hide & seek, and so far there are at least a few items I merged into my world and could never find!

     

    Is there some way to assure where they will appear, or find them?

  6. I'm not sure what's happened within the last patch or so, but just within the last few weeks I have noticed a big jump in the lag generated inside homemade world maps. It doesn't seem to happen in the "stock" rooms (like Sin Club), but it HAS gotten worse in hand-built places. I am not the only one who has remarked upon this.

     

    Avatar movement has become jerky, and you can easily see this effect in any animated movement on map materials (such as the ripples in water) as well. There is a "stutter" in the graphics.

     

    Time for a server reset, perhaps, or some man-hours dedicated to addressing the root causes. Thanks!

  7. As the subject line says, How do you make lights blink in sequence? I have seen this effect in various 'nightclub' worlds but for the life of me can't figure out how they do it. The illuminations in-game seem to have their own timer which can't be changed. Any help would be much appreciated.

  8. I have more than 15 years in roleplaying, i'm DM on various games, and you are the first "veteran" roleplayer i met that use non RP element in his RP (like my "silly little stat based character sheet" that let you instantly know that Suzie was a magic user).

     

    I can understand that some players won't like theses rules. Hey, here is the map : https://mega.nz/#!Hgc1wC6S!38DuZtCHi3OO1nZTQOREG14RLxldRtph22iumAu2ZKs, feel free to host it, and play on it with your own rules. I don't mind. And i won't understand why you will keep going on my map if the rules bother you that much.

     

    It's my place, i have spend weeks building it, i'm building a story with some others players for weeks too, i even bought a second account so players can still use the map while i'm disconnected and i'm sorry if you can't trash it instantly because you decided that what i have done it's not the way you would want it to be and that you can't play your all powerfull character and do what you want.

     

    Now please keep telling all the players who enjoy my place and the rules what bad roleplayers they are and how shitty my work is.

     

    I have putted you on full ignore and it will stay that way, so live your own live, let me live my, and everybody will be happy.

     

    (Ho and please, keep the insulting privates messages on the forum for yourself. The "you are insecure" blablabla, and the "Learn to RP" doesn't show a great maturity.)

    Oh, and btw, I've been DMing for 40 years, Suzie, so what's your point? I could DM circles around you in my sleep. If you've been DMing for 15 years, and your only recourse to someone challenging your canned narrative is to kick them from your campaign and ignore them, all that proves is you're a terrible game master who can't think outside the box. I've played in games run by people like you, and invariably they fall apart because the players will always do something unexpected, it's inevitable...and you won't be able to cope, so you'll try to railroad them back onto a single path. That's not only horrible DMing, it's also lazy and shows a woeful lack of improvisation skills.

     

    But I digress--no one else at the Hotel (and I've met quite a few of them now) had any problem whatsoever with Awry's magical nature, in fact they loved it, and this character has been around long before I ever discovered Chat3DX. I was not about to change her just because you feel some urgent need to control everyone in your map with an iron fist on some pathetic power trip. 

     

    But you know what? That's ok, because it was just more incentive for me to build my own world and invite roleplayers over for brunch. Brunch or sex parties...whichever they like. ;) No "rules" involved, and they can play their concept as they see fit (and they won't have to hunt 'spiders' in the woods for 'xps'...seriously, get some dice and start a guild in Neverwinter Online, you'll be happier). Toodles.

    Go ahead and ignore me, Suzie, and we'll compare notes on the relative maturity of that tactic lol. And instead of trying to make a social/sex chat-based game into Dungeons & Dragons...how about you just go play frickin D&D! Oh, and btw, most of the OTHER roleplayers I met there are awesome people with great skills! YOU, Suzie, are the one who apparently lacks any actual adaptability and improvisation, since your immediate response to my established Fey character having magical abilities wasn't to roleplay with it, but rather to just instantly resort to OOC and tell me "you can't have any magic". As a few of your own players have agreed, that was pretty damn lame.

     

    I don't really give a flying crap about your little world or whether I get to play as a part of it...I had no intention of getting involved in it. That certainly isn't why I play Chat3DX, for crying out loud! It's a sex game! Not a combat MMO! I would have been perfectly happy just RPing with the others there in our own way, no attributes involved. But that's fine, you just resorted to a coward's way out and blocked me (then immediately disconnected and ran), so at the end of the day, you're the one who looks bad.

  10. Sorry but if you think characters coming in are just going to lay down and trash their concept so you can lord godmod power over them, you are mistaken. Many of us are veteran RPers with long-established characters and we won't sacrifice that for the sake of a silly little stat-based 'character sheet' on the bottom of our bios. From what I have seen so far, the good roleplayers don't need or want that, and have no problem interacting as they see fit.

  11. I am new to the game and love it, but there seems to be a glaring oversight---how do you send a private message to a player who is not yet on your Friends list, and whose avatar is not there to click on? There are instances where they might DC, or the room may suddenly close, or you simply forget to add them to your Friends list...and then there is apparently NO way to send them a message, or even know if they are online!!

     

    I can't believe something this fundamental and basic escaped the developers. Does anyone have an answer??
