:: UTL Updated
Posted Monday, May 31, 2004 by Comit

The Universal Teleport list had been given a face lift. A handful of teleports have been updated. But more importantly, the UTL system in general has changed. You'll notice that comments and simple ASCII art have been added to make it easier to install and understand (does not effect AW browser).

From now on, new additions to the list will be at the bottom, and a comment will be placed above it to show the date they were added.

I also went through the list and was quite surprised at all the errors overlooked for all this time. I removed some unneeded teleports, fixed a couple typos, and renamed a few.

You can download the UTL in the downloads section, or click here.

:: Pextures
Posted Monday, May 31, 2004 by Comit

A new service is available to SW City - Pextures.

Pextures are custom textures that can be used on picture objects. Most of these are made for walkways, where they can be of most use; though there are some brick textures that can be suited for walls.

Currently, about half of the pextures are imported from other worlds, and are then edited to look like a regular textures when placed on a picture object. The other half are either extremely manipulated textures, or entirely new ones made by yours truly ;D

There is a temporary display set up at AW 1772S 4675E
A more permanent and user friendly directory will be setup at a later date.

:: CY Awards
Posted Saturday, May 22, 2004 by Comit

Well today's the day, and, sux2bu if you missed it =P

But, unlike the usual me, I took lots of pictures this time.

We had a great turnout for the preshow at Uncle Nitro's Bar & Grill, which was being broad casted live on VWTV. 15 minutes before the show, we all went the CY awards and gave our traditional "O_O" upon entry.

The shows didn't take long to get underway. And to our surprise our very own Ferruccio took home the first award for Architecture & Planning for his Mansion. Congratulations ^_^

But all was not well. Not long after, Ferruccio was assaulted by a mysterious silent man, but guards quickly rushed to the scene and escorted the man out.

Mysterious stranger attacks Ferruccio


SW City didn't take home any other awards though some friends of the town won such as Onesummer and Andras.

We'll be posting a follow-up report later on who exactly won.

:: Cy Awards Invitation & Website Updates
Posted Monday, May 3, 2004 by Syntax

May 22nd is the date for the Cy Awards! Click the link below for more information. SW City is nominated in a number of categories if you haven't checked the voting list (which is now closed). Hope to see everyone there in the new world Alphabit has been working on for quite a while now. Should prove to be the most impressive Cy ceremony yet.
You are cordially invited to the Cy Awards!

I also updated a few portions of the website. Added some new game links to the Fun & Games site and updated the description info for Palm Grove and Syntax Estates. I hope to get around to updating all of the descriptions one of these days. Those two were the worst and I had to update them. I must have wrote 'em when I was 2 because there were more sentance fragments than I could shake a stick at. *shake* .....>,x!!!
