Here are a couple of things that you need to remember when creating your Zaby

- Each item you place in your zaby takes time to load when someone enters. If you take to long to load a region, the server will disconnect you.

- Some scripts you can attach to items in your zaby load pictures or other resources from the web. Cached Web Load Image is an example of these. If any of them load slowly it is because the webserver they come from is slow, they will delay the rest from loading. This won't stop you from getting in the door, but your zaby may not look right for a long time. Especially for people with slow internet connections

- Compress and resize your web loaded resources! most of the time, a web loaded image should be 512x512 or less, and should be either JPG or PNG compressed. Raw images from your 7 Megapixel camera, although in JPG format, may be several megabytes in size. As a rule of thumb, if they're bigger than 500k, they're WAY TOO BIG! A visitor to your zaby must download all of these images to display your room properly. They add up quick if they're 5 MB each!

We are working hard on optimizing our game engine to provide you with best experience possible. But not all users have the same hardware, what works fine for you might cause problems for other users.

Although there have been some conflicting information regarding this, please take note this is the official stance on the utilization of textures in the Resource folder.

Using textures from this folder to decorate your Zaby is NOT permitted at this time. Many of the textures there are for exclusive use only and can not be used in your Zaby.

That being said, any props that are currently available in the Zaby prop editor are permitted. Textures that you create yourself or have permission to use OUTSIDE of the resource folder is also permitted. Once again, using textures located in the resource folder for your Zaby is NOT permitted.

As of this moment all departments in Utherverse have been updated with this information.


If you have any further questions regarding this please do not hesitate to contact worlddev@utherverse.com.

In an effort to make the VWW process easy and useful for everyone we have made a lot of changes to the setup process in the last few weeks.

The biggest changes you will notice are we now have stats available (with charts) that will tell you how many people are visiting your world as well as how many people have signed up under your world. You can also see this information for each individual property. If you are an Universal VIP you will be able to see more in depth stats, such as: age and gender of your users plus the length of time of their visit and the day of the week they visited. If you want to upgrade to Universal VIP you can do so here.

You also now have the ability to enter in keywords about your world as well as each individual property you own. We are currently building a search engine for all VWWs. When this is completed the keywords you input will be used to tell us what your world is about and how we should index your world as well as each individual property. You can also write a short paragraph about your world and properties that people will see when your world comes up in searches.

The other change made that is going to allow you the ultimate in customization to your VWW is World Branding. If you go to the "Manage World" tab (previously Manage Domain) and then go to the Branding tab you will see we have now added an easy tool that allows you to choose any image file on your computer and upload it for the most branding possible. If you already have your world's icon on your desktop you will need to uninstall your world and reinstall it to see your icon change.

These are the first upgrades we have made to the VWW. We hope you will find them useful. If you have any questions regarding your VWW or the process of setting one up please email support@utherverse.com.

Hey guys,

Wanted to come in and share our plans currently in development regarding Deco/Layout security.

The solution is going to be on a few fronts:

- We will be adding an option to strip clones from properties and layouts upon transfer. This will be available to a Deco when they transfer, so they will be able to control what goes where.

- Additionally, there will be an option to not allow clones to be made of the property after transfer, if the Decorator chooses this option. It will be a flag that's respected throughout the 'life' of that property.

These will essentially be ‘protected’ properties, transferred without clones, or the ability to clone.

Please let us know any feedback about these additional options and protections here in this thread.

Thanks a lot,
-Shane
