[Upstage-list] Re: uptage:8081

[<vic...@pa...>]

hey all i have just been looking around in :8081

there have been a few changes and improvements that make the whole space
look heaps better!
the new avs and backgrounds look great! [no i didn't do any hen]

some points
avs
* when i first log in many of the avs look very large until i select them
then they appear as the little squares in the wardrobe

* the av names are not all showing correctly mermai, black an... etc
does the space given for a name have to be extended or can it be set to
show x number of charaters that we have to remain within?

-- when i first went into test stage i could not see the av for mermai
although after going back to admin and re entering i now can

* when i select an av if i have the movement on slow it will not come on stage
i have to set the movement to fast [this is when i am already holding an av
as well as when i am not]


* do the av names have to be black? is there any way we can change them and
or could they have a background colour behind the name?
they are difficult to read on some avs

text box [chat log]
* when the environment is up and running how will the audience
differentiate text in the chat log? could the player names be bold?
i realise the audience will see the avs onstage [and thus their names] but
if a few people are in there commenting it may be hard to work out what the
'conversation' of the stage is...

also may be helpful when the avs are responding to or jamming with the audience

backdrops
* love how the forest has a jagged edge - like that functionality of the
upstage backdrops, will be great for off/on stage action in performance

* they are not showing their full names in the gallery [can this be altered
so there is more space for names?]

* the backdrops that are gifs show up all along the bottom of the gallery
for me - i can select the haunted forest or arabian one in the props
gallery by selecting some of its colour


crashing
* after being in the testing stage slecting many avs and typing text,
moving, dropping clearing resetting no problem i went into admin and made a
prop available for the stage

i was unable to select the prop - and soon after when typing text i was
crashed out of explorer

this always seems to occur after i have been in the admin area

cheers
vicki :)
