Pig's World(s) and other confusing stuff

Okay ... let's do some work now !


Blaxxun is down again ... not for long time, no worries people ... but for a couple of days may be.

+ Blaxxun = Blaxxun Down !

So I have decided to make a big deal out of the "2007 Blaxx down" and re-launch an old peace of "good for nothing" stuff that I started during "2006 Blaxx down".

Since then, my good old friend Jicer has been the only one in taking a look there from time to time, and even placing the "n3dme keyhole" window in his http://schizzo.free.fr page. (Gracias Jicer).

But now the time has come for me, to become of alternative 3d-chats, or at least (the fool) of the web-publishing community.

Let me introduce you to :


The N3DME 3d-Chat



Not good ?

Hey it's under constant development ... evolution ... give it a try, now that Blaxx is down.

Look at the login form :
Note : the pig showed inside the "Avatar prevue" is Gammonbrat's pigavc.wrl. The (c) Peter stuff is regarding the chat, and not the avatar showed on this picture


You can write there your Nickname, you can write the URL to your favourite Avatar and you could even write the URL to your world ... ... isn't that great ?

About the Nick and the Avt, all works fine so long. The world, has got some issues to be solved ... it loads, but you'll be set there into a probably undesired viewpoint. Nothing that could not be solved pushing "PageUP" or choosing another viewpoint from the context menu of Blaxxun.

Another ugly issue, is that some bindable nodes will not render properly (as they will be unbound at start-up and so some very nice worlds, look rather ugly when viewed inside the N3DME system (sorry X, I could not solve it yet).

Okay, now a few goodies :

If you accept cookies, your last few Nicknames and Avatars and Worlds will be saved as cookies, so you might easily catch them again, just opening the context menue that appears clicking at the 'examine buttons' (those marked with '...') at the right side of each field.

Ah, there is also a problem with my cookies script : after a couple of visits, your cookie will be much too big, so Windows crashes - even XP - with one of those magestic blue screens. It looks far worse than it really is (but it's messy, i agree)

But there is another goodie :

Before logging in, you may have a look at what worlds are actually being visited, by clicking at the [...] stuff, at the right side of the 'world' field of the log-in form.

Simiar to that, you may also open a floating window while not being inside the chat (I mean while being offline). One like that :



If, there is a world opened, you will see the world's name (clicking at it, it will take you right there) and who is inside the world at that moment.

This same floating window opens whenever you log out properly, pushing the yellow button at the base of the chat-text display.

You may also embedd that window into your web-page ( why wouldn't you?) , like Jicer did, using the following code :

<IFRAME></IFRAME>

(dang! Alain's forum deletes my iframe params ! ... just write this into the opening <iframe> tag :

id="navi_ifr" src="http://3dchat.3d-check.com/external_navi.htm" scrolling="no" frameborder="yes" height="200" width="200"

Well, isn't it cool

Okay, it will be better for the "2008 Blaxx down", I promise.

Anyhow, feel free to play arround with it. If someone want's the sources, just let me know.

Ah, it only runs on MSIE (pure MSIE .... no Netscape with MSIE rendering engine nor such stuff!) and Blaxxun (may be Bitmanager's BS-Contact too).

"Dang!"

"Oink, oink, dang!"
