Hi Garry,
Ah, yes, I'm very familiar with the file EAISimple.wrl, as my totally
inept and empirical trial-and-error approach centres around that
file. However, I think that what you are suggesting is different
from the problem I have. In the snippet below, it is my understanding
that 'avatarNames' is the name displayed in the avatar selection
dropdown menu for the benefit of the punter logging on, so that they
may have an idea of what avatar they are choosing. But the login name
they choose is what is displayed in the world, and it is that that I want
to get rid of. Having said that, though, your suggestion of using spaces
instead of characters on the login name is probably the easiest solution.
Thanks for the suggestions. How goes it down in Cardigan St?
Also, does anyone have any thoughts on my second question about network
loads (see below)?
TIA,
adam
