hi There's a copy of the code at http://upstage.org.nz/Upstage-2003-12-19b.tar.gz Eventually you will be able to download the latest code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/upstage/ but for some reason I haven't been able to upload it yet. The cvs access works though, so anyone who wants should register as a sourceforge developer (http://sourceforge.net/account/register.php) and get the code from CVS. The html is there, and so should be the documentation. CVS allows several people to work on the same code at once -- it keeps backups of everything, and tries to merge everyones changes together in a sensible way. I haven't fully tested the beta file though. I'm getting a bit sick, and slowing down. Some of vicki's list has been fixed and some hasn't. >> * the text from the last session is still there [could be potentially >> embarrassing when small gripes, private conversations remain for the next >> users to come in and find] this is deliberate, so if you miss some of a performance, or get disconnect and come back, you can fill in the backstory. The reset button will clear the words though - whether it should be on the stage or only in the admin pages, I don't know. You wouldn't want to hit it by mistake. d |

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 :) |

thanks for this vi; i'm working on a Big List of things for douglas so i'll incorporate your comments. i'm just heading in to upstage now myself ... point about the text chat is a good one; the audience will be distinguished in that they won't have a name at the start of their chat (because they're not logged in) but you're right, it will be hard to follow (especially if there's a dark background underneath & no scroll bar!). it would be good if we could make the performers' text be coloured or bold. h : ) >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!

i'm really enjoying playing round in upstage, but there are 2 things that are making it difficult: one is not having a scroll bar on the text chat, & the other is not knowing who's actually there. the scroll bar needs to be a real priority - otherwise it's almost impossible to keep up with the conversation. i've been thinking about where we could fit in a little box showing who is present, & i think that if we have the scroll bar we can afford to reduce the size of the text chat window (for the players - can leave big for audience) and fit in a small window above the text chat & below the tools. all this window needs to have is a list of the players who are present in that stage (usernames) & the number of audience present. i'm sure this is not do-able before the launch (altho the scroll bar is pretty urgent) but it will really help us to know where we all are! h : ) -- ____________________________________________________________ helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst he...@cr... http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.avatarbodycollision.org http://www.writerfind.com/hjamieson.htm ____________________________________________________________ |

12.30 monday & i've just logged in - & got that login error with the square brackets, which i haven't had for a while. some of these problems (also like not being able to hold avs) seem to occur randomly ... perhaps douglas is working on it right now ... pot boy seems to be stuck on the stage, & mozilla seems to stop me from being able to type in eudora as well as not use shortcut keys : ( i think we need to recommend a limit for the number of animated avatars on a stage at any time (or in the wardrobe) h : ) >hey all > >just did another check in upstage [midday monday] > >went in after receiving your email last night hen but you must have >gone already > >i can see some chat from len and there are more avs names available > >HOWEVER > >the only one showing on the stage is pot boy > >i can pick up and hold others and they are showing in the mirror and that i >am holding them [ie little icons] but are not showing up onstage > >there are also no bacgrounds and the prop i still can't pick up > >in the text chat words that are letters or nonsense are sometimes spoken >and sometimes not [this seems to be the case with other languages also] > >cheers >vicki :) > > > > >------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials. >Become an expert in LINUX or just sharpen your skills.
