VRML worlds designed for Blaxxun Contact were often intended to be used in a multiuser context. Without the Blaxxun server running, some things might not work as expected. Light switches might not toggle, minigames might not work properly, pool covers might not open. In their original context, the buttons to trigger these would send off events to the server, which would send a message back to everyone connected to the world at the time (or sometimes later), including the original person.

This page will hopefully explain how to hack VRML that uses Blaxxun multiuser features to work properly while offline.
