Object Paths are sites that AW uses to find the
avatars, models, sequences, sounds, and textures for a world. In this section,
you will learn how to make your own object path!
- First, go to http://members.xoom.com
and get a free site, to use as your OP. (Object Path)
- Next, go to http://www.activeworlds.com
and look in the Objects and Avatars library. Download the AW set.
- Make sure you unzip the 5 files you get, awavs,
awmodels, etc. zip files, but leave everything else zipped up.
- You will need an FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
to upload the files to your OP. Go to http://www.download.com.
Do a search for WS_FTP Pro. WS_FTP Pro doesn't have the best interface, but
it will be the easiest to use. Download WS_FTP Pro.
- Open up WS_FTP and enter ftp.xoom.com
as the Host Name. Then, enter your XOOM name and password. Then connect.
- Make 5 different folders, called Avatars,
Models, Sequences, Sounds, Textures. NOTE: The folders HAVE to be named
these names, or else your OP will not work!!!
- Upload all the avatars into the avatars folder,
the models into the models folder....etc.
- When you open your world, enter the main site
address under Object Path.
- You now have a full working Object Path, in
which you can add your own objects to!
You need something called avatars.dat to put into
the avatars folder, to tell your OP which avatars to show in your world and what
actions it can do. So, if you are making an OP, tell me and I'll give you an
avatars.dat to complete your OP!
If you have any problems while trying to make an
OP, or you just have some question, E-Mail me at Labrador78@yahoo.com!
Hope ya have fun! :D
