How to setup your control file (.ctl)
NOTE: The .ctl file has the same name as your world, but the
extention of this file ends with .ctl
e.g. Myworld.aer Myworld.ctl

The solutions is to use the free "CrazyBrowser", but is no longer available.
It also runs in Windows 10's Internet Explorer found in Windows Accessories unless a Windows Update changed it into Microsoft Edge. This happened to me without my permission. My solution was to remove the updates that caused this, and voila, the "About Internet Explorer" shows "Internet Explorer" again. At this point, I deactivated Windows Update on my Windows 10 Laptop. Atmosphere worlds now work on my Windows 10 using the Internet Exlorer (iexplore.exe)!
You must set the hosting website of the worlds using Compatability Mode.
The security features of Win 7 and up -- Protected Mode must be temporarily deactivated and Active X must be enabled in the settings. Websites that contain Atmosphere Worlds must be entered as Safe Websites and/or Compatability Mode in the browser settings.
Once this is done, activate "Protected Mode" in the browser settings.

How to Share and Receive Avatars
Docking Palettes is a very convenient way to access any menu such as Users, Avatars, Bookmarks, Controls, Setting Preferences, etc.

OnScreen Menu is another option that is
available in an Atmosphere World. Users can Right-Click within the world window to
open a hidden menu.

Avatars and the Bookmarks Panel. The video above will show what these options are

Atmosphere Server 1.5 (Updated code)
The Atmosphere Collaboration Server Source Project allows communication with the 3D
Atmosphere World. The chat function allows for collaboration as well as the user of Shared
Objects & more. The "AtmosphereServer1.tar.gz" is available for
download.
The server source code is written in C. You will need Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu, etc. to unpack, install, configure several files for your site and compile. Be sure to download the PDF files.
The
"README_FIRST.pdf" has instructions that you must follow to be successful in
configuring and running you own Atmosphere Collaboration Server.
A download link, username and password is provided below. The server is free since
it is open source.
I have corrected all errors but you may have to recompile it depending on what version of
Linux you have. Try the already compiled version provided. If it does not
work, then you will have to recompile.
My original compiled version was gcc.4.2.1. This version does not appear to be
available any more. There is a latest version 4.7 or .8... which when I recompiled
to run on CentOS 7.6, gave many warnings messages, but no errors. The server has
been running on a dedicated server for a while without any problems.

** Remember!! You will need a Linux Operating System
for this server. I use CentOS 5.9, but it will also work with other Linux
Distributions, including Ubuntu, RedHat Linux, etc. Most are free versions, so be
sure to check it out before downloading. Most are Open Source Operating Systems.
