World: r3wp

What steps are required to move an AltME world from one host to another?

It has been a couple of years but I think I just tarred the whole 
directory tree moved it to a new machine

untarred it , ... made sure the need ports were available on the 
new machine ...

that is the one (non economic) feature for safeworlds hosting the 
world server

clients will not need to know you moved at  all

I just got a console message saying "Show on face in closed window". 
When I closed the console window, AltME quit. The only window I remember 
having open during that session was the alert window.

Why is ALTME not messing up my screen when I manualy resize the screen? 
Where when a simple 'resize in /view Does!??? What does ALTME do 
differently? Is it a more dircet /view access ???

The screen refresh of ALTME is much faster then normal rebol /view 
routines... how come so??

describe "faster"... because I don't think it's any faster than any 
of the stuff I do myself

but if you use SHOW wrong, it can get very slow

Well i mean that when i start ALTME in i.e. 500x500 and then resize 
with mouse I dont see any screen stripes while resizing, but when 
I do this with a simple window under rebol I do see lots of screen-stripes 
during resize untill I loosen my finger from the mouse button...

Its not so important but i thought perhpas altme is using less /view 
overhead somehow..

AltME probably ignores resize events until its ready to redraw

Yes that must be because the background color stays nicely white...Mmmmm 
I need to fingure that out too ;-)

Mmm... good question, Rebolinth.

also, don't forget AltME is running on 1.2.10

Yes, that appears to be why. The exact same code running on 1.2.10 
gives nice solid white background, while 1.2.48 and 1.3.2 leave trash.

view/options center-face layout [area] 'resize

Maybe RT was trying to see if they could get continual resize events 
processed by rebol, so they disabled a default refresh. But then 
it was probably found that rebol refresh is not really fast enough 
to keep up ? Not sure.

I don't remember ever seeing an option to enable "all resize events".

There might be a way to do it using the system port, but then that 
might be platform specific (ie. probably Windows-only) for now.

Ok, after all my complaints about font sizes in Altme on newer monitors, 
it looks like the next windows will deal with this... a quote.. 


 Don't you hate it how, when you increase the resolution of your desktop, 
 everything gets smaller? With widescreen LCD monitors sporting resolutions 
 of 1920x1200, and even laptops with screens that high-res, the icons 
 and text on your PC can become absolutely tiny when you run at the 
 native resolution. Enabling large fonts and trying to scale your 
 desktop icons in WinXP only sort-of works, and it breaks as many 
 things as it fixes. With Vista, your plug-and-play monitor can tell 
 your PC what size and resolution it is, and then Vista can scale 
 everything appropriately. 12-point fonts will actually be 12 points, 
 regardless of whether you're using a 1280x1024 19
 LCD or an ultra-high-res laptop."

wonderful news on the blog! Looking very much forward to testing 
the new AltME under OSX

http://www.altme.com/beta.html

More to come. Also, OSX works, but a few small bugs still hanging 
around. See notes on that page.

 - Wow, finally WinXP works like the Mac did 10 years ago. (Sorry, 
 I just had to say it.)

Is there a way to remove all the reds from every user and group ???

I installed the beta, and things didn't go well.  So I uninstalled 
and installed again.  Now everything is red :(

hmm, running beta now too ....

seems ok so far :-)

Aaaa guys.. why is Linux always running last for these great tools 
? ;-(

but for altme to become really more adopted, world look-up port should 
be removed, as I can see it as unnecessary obstacle ...

couldn't it be done via default 80 port plus cgi?

world lookup is so that they can control the licensing.

yes, but why does have to run it via special port?

Grham ..Is it a coinsidence that I like FileSharing very much in 
your Chat Applet and its now inside Altme ? ;-)

AltMe files application is not available on this world...

Can smoeone send me the last 10 lines frmo this Group? It seemed 
to be lost while I was running the old Altme and the new at the same 
time..

untill Carls notification

Well almost complete this filesharing... If there would be a nice 
Password protection possible on shared files (Like the SHA exmaple 
from Carls Cookbook) the filesharing would be complete upto the level 
of privicy ...

...Shared files and stored with encoding... So let the newsgroups 
now misuse ALTME for anything ;-) Good for business though...

Rebolinth, I guess it's the situation of simultaneous separate development 
:)

installed on top of the old with no problems

hundreds of mouse clicks later .. I've cleared all the reds :(

yeah, any news on how close this beta is to final?

You'd think there would be a "clear-all" button.

I must request a feature to create source files directly within the 
filesharing area. if it works how I think it works, this could be 
used for a form of collaborative editing

Yes That was a feature request frmo 2 years ago from me too, Clear 
all unread messages with 1 click..

I like the edit/publish methodology inside the filesharing area

I Wish I wendy I wanda.. there was a linux beta ;-)
