In the edit profile on this site there are 2 things that say:

Uploud avatar from your machine .................. and
Upload avatar fram a URL

I was wandering what these do. Does uploading from URL allow me to transfer my character from one computer to another? if so how do i do it.

no the avatar its referring to is the icon below your name (er.. mine anyway.. you currently have none selected)

only avatars already in the game are usable currently, no way to add any.

Yeh, it refers to your forum avatar.

There is a way to get new 3d avatars into the game itself. You have to model, texture and animate them :)

(I've still got a few I haven't finished... life is busy at the moment but when I get time I'll finish up The Traveller, Gangsta Guy, Caveman and one or two others)

You can get new avatars in the game, however, it will only be visual, and it'll only appear as a different avatar to you.

Er... yeh. But that could conceivably be used to cheat VDZ. It would affect stuff client side, but not for other people. One day mit'll need to write some kind of checksum routine to stop people doing that. In the meantime we don't need to discuss it :)

Um...how exactly could that be used for cheating? It's only the model...
