Hi Rick!

I used the Shared My World feature on your website and submitted two URLs for two wrl files. I just restarted my computer and am planning to test them, but I do not how to access my worlds through vrmlworld.net. How do I get to my worlds I just sent you using the Share World feature?

Actually your wrl file is never stored on vrmlworld.net. Just the URL is saved.

When you use the "SHARE MY WORLD" page. You aren't actually sending your files anywhere. It uses the information you enter to create a web page and reserve one of the chat servers at vrmlworld.net.

The URL of the wrl file and snapshot image are combined with the title as arguments to the frameset.php script. You have two options once you enter the information, "Share This World Now" or "Create Anchor".

The "Share This World Now" button creates a login web page and starts sharing your world immediately. The URL you entered is used in the webpage but the actual wrl file is not downloaded or transfered. The chat server just points at it.

The second option is to press the "Create Anchor" button. HTML is created in a pop up window that you could use on your website. You copy and paste it into your website HTML pages. It is just an anchor tag that provides the correct parameters to frameset.php. When someone comes to your site and clicks that 3D chat link a chat server is automatically launched.

In both cases, as long as at least one person stays in 3D chat, your world will appear on the world list. Once everyone leaves your world, it is removed from the list and the chat server you were using becomes available for others to use.

Hi Rick!

I have a few questions...I almost got this working and figured out!

1) So I think I should have chosen "Create Anchor". I already submitted two of my worlds choosing the "Share This World Now". How can I change this and choose the "Create Anchor" option instead? Is there something you change or should I just resubmit my two worlds and then choose "Create Anchor".

2) Once someone enters my world, then my world appears on the vrmlworld.net world page?

3) I have 12 worlds (12 wrl files) on my blaxxun server. They can all access each other by clicking special orbs throughout the worlds. For example, while in world #1, I am able to go directly to world #2, world #3, and so on by clicking special objects in the worlds. Do I need to use the share my world features for all 12 of these worlds or just one of my worlds? Or should I do a combination of some "Share My World Now" and some "Create Anchor"

Hi Rick!

I was wondering if you could help me with my testing problem. Did you have a chance to look at the three questions in the above reply?

Thanks!
