[X3D-Public] XTranormal X3D: Virtuality Uber Alles

[GLG]

Although the X3Daemon server can support most X3D/VRML
viewers, you need to have BS Contact to access Office
Towers. It was a difficult decision to make 3 years ago, but
if we wanted any kind of rendering consistency, we had to
pick a viewer. Otherwise, attempting to support a larger
number of viewers would only diminish the number of features
in our world. Office Towers being such a large world (it is
now actually a collection of worlds in addition to the
linked worlds), that didn't leave us with much choice but to
support one viewer and fully exploit its capabilities. We
would like to be able to do otherwise, but the reality of it
is simply not practical to say the least. It is difficult
enough to support the 3 major Web browsers in addition to
stand-alone Contact. You will find that most extensive
worlds will tend to gravitate around a single viewer.

Tried on a Mac, using Octaga.  No errors, but didn't see
anything load either.  Perhaps I didn't wait long enough.
Tried using Instant Player, but WTF, can't copy and paste
the error.

Used this URL:  http://www.x3daemon.com/mu/load.bswrl

Yes you would think so. Actually, for all practical
purposes, this is almost exactly what we have; a mesh
network where you can add your world. For example, World A
links to World B C D E and F via the teleport which in turn
are linked to G H or I and back to A, D and H, etc, etc. All
while correctly retaining the multiuser avatars in the
appropriate worlds. But there are few takers. We even put a
'My World' page for world submissions to this, but most
people going to the site don't seem to have a clue what a
world URL is. So we get all kind of incorrect submissions.
There are currently 8 worlds linked to our teleport, and an
unlimited number of worlds can be added in a mesh network,
but for now we just linked the worlds back into more of a
star topology until we have enough to work with. Maybe I'm
not clear enough in the way I promote it. I generally don't
like spam or most kind of advertising done to me, so I tend
to try not to do it to others -I might have to change my
view about it :|. But, if you're reading this and would like
your world added just go to officetowers.com and click on
'My World' to submit yours for free. Please submit, submit!
We want your worlds. There, I did it again... LOL 

Cheers,
