\n"; print "Citizen Name: The name of the citizen who built the structure \n"; print "that you're submitting. If the building was made by \"Not a Citizen\", \n"; print "put \"NAC\" as the Citizen Name. Please do not submit buildings that \n"; print "were constructed by a tourist. There are two reasons for this. \n"; print "Firstly, tourist buildings tend to get deleted by malicious users, and \n"; print "therefore aren't really appropriate for the database. Secondly, if you \n"; print "do submit a tourist building, that makes it much easier \n"; print "for a malicious stranger to find and delete your building. If you are \n"; print "building as a tourist, and you want your building to last, it is best \n"; print "not to publicize it too widely. :-)\n"; print "
\n"; print "\n"; print "Citizen Number: The number of the citizen who built the structure. \n"; print "You can get this by right clicking an object in the building and looking \n"; print "at the \"Owner\" field. I need this so that people can search for buildings \n"; print "by a particular builder, even if the name is not known. (EG buildings \n"; print "by a particular NAC).\n"; print "
\n"; print "\n"; print "Building Type: This is the category that the building falls into. There \n"; print "are 15 building types available to you. They are listed in a drop-down \n"; print "selection box on the Add Entry page. Most of them are self explanatory. \n"; print "The \"Celebration Sites\" category is for areas devoted to birthdays, weddings, \n"; print "memorials, and party areas. The \"Landscapes\" category is for \n"; print "mountains, rivers, forests, islands, and things of that nature.\n"; print "
\n"; print "\n"; print "Building Age: This the year that the building was constructed in. \n"; print "I am only interested in the year, not the month or day. Right click an \n"; print "object in the building and look at the \"Built\" field to figure out \n"; print "when it was built. There is a drop-down box of available years. So far \n"; print "as I know, there are no buildings from earlier than 1995, and precious \n"; print "few of those.\n"; print "
\n"; print "\n"; print "Comments: Here's where you get your say. Feel free to write whole \n"; print "books worth of commentary, as long as you can do it in 100 characters or \n"; print "less. Please note that HTML is not allowed in this or any field, and will \n"; print "be stripped from the field before entry into the database.\n"; print "
\n"; print "\n"; print "Coordinates: Here is the part that makes it all worthwhile, and makes it \n"; print "easy for people to find your building. All buildings are assumed to be in \n"; print "Alphaworld, since this is not a database of the entire AW universe, just \n"; print "its primary world. If you've got a great building in Mars, you'll just have to \n"; print "publicize it the old-fashioned way.\n"; print "
\n"; print "\n"; print "The database supports the full scope of AW teleport commands, with the \n"; print "exception of relative teleports. That is, you can't specify negative \n"; print "or positive values to the teleports. Most people never do this anyway, \n"; print "so that shouldn't really matter. As a rule of thumb, use the coordinates \n"; print "just as you'd use them in AW.\n"; print "
\n"; print "\n"; print "You can specify the north/south east/west coordinates down to a tenth of a meter, \n"; print "and the same goes for altitude. You can even specify the direction that the \n"; print "person will be facing on arrival. For complete details on the format of \n"; print "AW teleports, please see the \n"; print "AW help file. \n"; print "Ignore the bits about relative teleports, and you will have a thorough knowledge of \n"; print "all your options. Be careful with teleport coordinates. If you \n"; print "make a mistake, you will need to \n"; print "send me an email so that I can fix it, \n"; print "which is a pain to both you and me. So be careful, okay? :-) Fiddle with it \n"; print "from inside AW until you get it right, then just copy and paste. Please note that \n"; print "if you want to specify a directional coordinate, you *must* specify an altitude as well. \n"; print "
