Nothing, Inc. needs your help :)

Aug 11, 1999, 8:00am

Please . . . We're testing NEW Web Based Install . . .

We'd very much appriciate it, if you would take the time to go to :
http://members.xoom.com/Nothing_Inc/

or for a DIRECT LINK
http://members.xoom.com/Nothing_Inc/UltraBOT.htm

We need to test this on various configurations, such as Web Browser, OS, etc
.. . .

Please send all errors found to : gizmo98 at earthlink.net

Install will tell you what to do if it finds an error, but if you encounter
one before you even get Install to work, send OS, Web Browser, and a brief
description of your problem

-Thanks in advance from everyone at Nothing, Inc.

P.S. Andon13 is going on vacation for 2 weeks starting tomorrow (8-11-99),
so E-Mails regarding Ultra BOT won't be replied to for about 2 weeks.

It's not a Java Applet --- It's ActiveX control, and it has a SIGNED
Digital ID VIA Verisign . . .

Anyway, after careful review (about a hundred or so E-Mails of
UB_INSTALL_ERROR : 1), I realized I have a long way to go on the install
process . . .

However, the main concern now is to write the documentation for the BOT.
Once this is complete, I will offer 2 ways for installation.

NOTE : Web-Install will ALWAYS contain the newest version, as it is MUCH
easier and faster to create my Web-Install package and upload it than it is
to create a standard downloadable one. This goes for the BETA program
aswell. The initial setup for the BETA version will be Web-Install, and the
upgrades will be individual files.

Thanks,

Hello everyone, it is my pleasure to announce that Ultra BOT is now Open =
BETA!

Currently there is no documentation, but I believe that it is simple =
enough to use. If you have any problems trying to use it please contact =
me (Andon13) via Telegrams or E-Mail (gizmo98 at earthlink.net). I will be =
more than willing to help.
Ultra BOT includes an advanced Auto-Update system, so during BETA =
updates will be quite frequent . . . Always be sure to read the Release =
Notes that are displayed after an Update is complete.
There is an Automated Bug Report system in the BOT . . . Currently =
for technical reasons you are only allowed to report 1 bug every time =
you run Ultra BOT.

All you have to do is run Installer.exe in the directory you wish to =
install Ultra BOT, and the rest will be done for you. Could it be any =
easier?

P.S. If you get an error about MFC42.DLL, then be sure to download the =
version from : http://home.earthlink.net/~gizmo98/UltraBOT/MFC42.DLL
This version is included with Visual Studio Service Pack 3, and is newer =
than the version that ships with Win95 / 98, but is the same version =
that ships with Windows 98 Second Edition. It is a rather large file, so =
please be patient . . .

This is one NG you really don't belong in, you should keep all of your
complaining in Beta . . . Come to think of it, you should keep it all to
yourself . . .

You need to work on constructive criticism.

Jul 29, 1999, 10:10pm

Calling AW_AVATAR_ADDRESS changes the value for AW_AVATAR_SESSION . . .

In other words, when I try to whisper to the person who did the clicking, it
whispers to the person who's IP address was being looked up . . .

Mysterious other DLL (not aw.dll)

Jul 30, 1999, 7:02pm

If you ever get a chance, you ought to get Visual C++ : )

You can get V. 5.0 real cheap, and the Introductory Edition of Visual C++ 6
is like $30. . . The best part of Visual C++, is the extensive SUPPORT for
Windows, and the extensive documentation.

Actually, you can do this :

Remove the bot from the world, and replace it in the world at the NEW
co-ordinates . . . It works for me with my BOT (Just have to temporarily
de-activate Avatar_ADD).

Getting Co-Ordinates based on Session ID?

Aug 4, 1999, 5:36pm

That would seem to take up extra memory, and an unpredicted overflow in
the size of the array would cause an access violation error . . .

Shouldn't there be a way to retrieve them by calling an SDK function,
Roland? How does the AW Client do it?

-Andon Coleman

Got Registry access working, really stupid reason it wasn't working =P

Aug 4, 1999, 5:31pm

Primer on "_T" written at the bottom . . .

It wasn't working because I had these lines under the InitInstance OLE
FAILURE CHECK . . .

EXAMPLE OF HOW DO DO THIS :

// Use this line under InitInstance()
SetRegistryKey (_T ("Company Name Here"));

// These lines wherever you need them . . .

CWinApp::WriteProfileInt (_T ("Sub Key Name Here"),_T ("Sample Data"), INT
GOES HERE);

CWinApp::WriteProfileString (_T ("Sub Key Name Here"),_T ("Sample Data)",_T
("Sample VALUE"));

That works great, and it's EASIBLY convertable between Win98 and NT . .
.. That's why the _T is there, to make the string neutral, so that it can be
made into Unicode if you decide to port the program to NT or Win2K

Reason this may come in handy : Windows NT, and any versions of Windows
newer than 98 use an international standard character set called Unicode (16
Bit), whereas Windows 98 and previous version use ANSI (8 Bit) . . . Anyway,
Windows NT and Windows 2000+ are backward compatible with ANSI (They would
HAVE TO BE!!!), but it causes a performance hit while converting from ANSI
to Unicode.

Anyway, I'm told that sometimes you run into problems when writing to
the System Registry in NT using ANSI . . .

Looking for some help with my Visual C++ Project . . . Thanks in advance.

Aug 8, 1999, 10:47pm

Okay, here's a list of the KNOWN problems ( I'm sure there's a ton more that
I don't even know about =) ).

1.] When the project is built in Release instead of Debug, the damn thing
doesn't respond to chat messages.

2.] Ever since adding my splash screen hitting 'esc' or [x] causes a crash
(NO BIG DEAL, since the intended action was to close the program anyway, but
this is nonetheless a bug).

3.] Am unable to get : GetProfile . . . To actually work outside of
SDKBOT.cpp

I would appriciate it if some nice person who I can trust with my ENTIRE
VC++ Project would take the time to help out a rookie, thanks . . . I really
don't know what I can offer in return, but I'm sure I can work something
out.

Thanks,

BOT Universe Logins using IP address ( Some Problems it may cause ).

Aug 8, 1999, 11:42pm

As stated in Roland's announcement that the Universe Server
(auth.activeworlds.com) will be changing IP addresses, this can present
unforeseen problems . . . I discovered one in my BOT's login code.

The problem with using IP addresses for logging into a universe as opposed
to a DNS is this :

If the IP address of the Universe Server changes, and the IP address for the
Universe was hard set into the source code, people using your bot are all
going to experience login problems when the IP address changes.

My thoughts on working around this problem were originally to add a second
entry box in my Universe Login settings for a DNS value, but then I got to
thinking . . . This is what I came up with :

Have the BOT Program query a Domain Name Server to find the
corresponding DNS for the entered IP (if one exists). If this is done at
the time that the person enters the IP address into the BOT settings and
stored in the registry as an entry called "FAIL- PROOF" or whatever
floats your boat, you'd then have a 2nd resource to fall back on . . .

If an attempt to connect to the Universe Server : 127.0.0.1:0001 returns a
callback other than 0, have it re-attempt a login using the previously
stored value for 127.0.0.1.
Let's call the DOMAIN NAME for 127.0.0.1 LocalHost (since that's
essentially what it is =P).
Now, let's say for some imaginary reason LocalHost has been moved from
127.0.0.1 to : 192.168.0.1
Had we not stored the Domain Name for 127.0.0.1, the BOT would never have
known that the new server is running on 192.168.0.1:0001
Furthermore, the process could be improved even more to change the IP
address in the settings from 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.0.1 automatically.
This in turn fixes any problems associated with my concept to create a
Network Efficient BOT.
Since it doesn't call upon your local Domain Name Server every time you
start up the BOT, you are saving resources on the DNS for more useful things
.. . . Like updating itself =P

I sense you don't understand the point of that . . .

RC303?

Obviously, you were using too many bytes =P
Try reducing the size of your data =)

FYI : data type sizes :

char : 8 bits
short int : 8 bits
int : 16 bits
long int : 32 bits
float : 32 bits
double : 64 bits
long double : 80 bits

That's about all I can say, cause that's about all you can do.

.hlp and .html . . . Are they easily convertable?

Aug 21, 1999, 6:32pm

I'm starting work on my documentation for my BOT, and was wondering if I
should do the base of it in HTML, or if I should write it in HLP. Any
comments are welcome.

Thanks,

Have I lost my mind, or is this Error IMPOSSIBLE to Trace?

Actually, I fixed every single bug :)

For some reason attempting to put my HTTP Get File function into a =
Thread of its own was a bad idea . . . So, I moved the ENTIRE Process =
into its own thread, now it works great . . . You can move the window =
around while its downloading, and the Progress indicators work =
perfectly.

But thanks for the help originally . . .

Simple method for creating "Lock-Up Look" FREE Logins, Sample Source included!!!

Sep 22, 1999, 5:54pm

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Ooopsies, already I discovered a BUG . . . The Name specified is too =
long . . .
[View Quote] Q. What's this "Lock-Up Look", and what's it caused by?
A. The "Lock-Up Look" is named that because, when you call the AW SDK =
Login Functions without any intervention, your Dialog Thread does not =
receive the WIN32 Message Pump until each one of functions you call has =
finished.
Subsequently, your Dialog Thread is not able to do a Redraw, =
causing undesired Dialog Painting effects.

Q. What is this Thread you speak of?
A. Think of a thread in terms of real life . . .=20
Imagine our program as a string of yarn.
Now, think back to kindergarten, what is yarn made of? --- Why, =
threads of course!
=20
This applies to WIN32 Programming also, however, WIN32 Programs =
are not usually made of hundreds of threads :) --- Usually there's 2 or =
3, and in the case of simple MFC App Wizard applications, there's 1.
=20
This single thread is assigned the job of many things, including : =
Repainting the windows, and any code executed from within it (Such as a =
while block) . . . While blocks will cause the thread to focus in ONLY =
on repeating the code contained inside the block, and not redraw the =
windows, or any of the other stuff it's SUPPOSED to do

Q. Alrighty, that was a kind of loaded answer . . . How does Andon13 =
solve the "Lock-Up Look" problem?
A. Haven't you learned anything so far? =3DP
The most simple solution to the whole problem is the one used . . =
..
=20
In this work-around, we create a Background Worker thread . . . =
This thread has no Dialog Boxes or anything assigned to it, so it can =
focus solely on the AW SDK Initialization / Login --- Further, it has =
the ability to send data to the MAIN Thread, which is the basis for =
the nifty looking status indicator used in this solution.

=20
Q. Wow, sounds interesting . . . Is it hard to implement?
A. No, not at all --- The whole Sample Source code has been commented =
from head to toe (Well, the functions relating to the LOGIN anyway).

NOTE:
Here's a list of syntax / usage / purpose for the most commonly used =
functions in this sample code :

Function: Class: =
Usage: =
=
=
Return Type:
NewStatus(CString LOG, int nTYPE); CLogin Log is the =
message to be appended to the status text area of the Status Dialog, =
nTYPE is an integer value specifying the type of Status Message being =
sent VOID

=
nTYPE:
=
-1 =3D Append without increasing the Progress Indicator's =
Position
=
0 =3D Error --- This removes ANY progress currently shown =
in the Progress Indicator
=
1 =3D Append and Step the Progress indicator up 1 notch.

Function: =
=
=
Class: Usage:
Login (CString chPassword, int nCitnum, int nX, int nY, int nZ, int =
nYAW, int nAV, CString WorldName, CString chIP, int nPort, CString =
chBotName) CLogin Pretty straight forward . . . This function =
is to be called ONLY from within the Thread.

Return Type:
Boolean -- TRUE if the login completed without any errors, =
otherwise, it returns FALSE.

Function: Class: =
Usage:
ThreadFunc (LPVOID pParam) N/A (Global) This is =
called with the creation of the thread . . . There is no need to modify =
the Input / Output to this whatsoever, however, you may change the =
functions called from it (Login being the only important one)

Return Type:
UINT -- No need for intervention with this, just let =
WIN32 Process it.

Function: =
Class: Usage: =
=
=
Return Type:
OnThreadFinished (WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) CLogin =
This is called by the Global Scope call to =
::PostMessage(There's some parameter's in here, but who cares? =3D)) =
LONG --- Leave this to WIN32

That's pretty much it --- If you have any questions, or find any BUGs, =
please E-Mail me : Andon M. Coleman at : Gizmo98 at earthlink.net

Hmmmmmm --- Converting that out of my DJ BOT and into a simple Sample =
BOT has presented a few bugs, maybe by tomorrow I'll have them all fixed =
.. . .

Regards, Andon13
[View Quote] Q. What's this "Lock-Up Look", and what's it caused by?
A. The "Lock-Up Look" is named that because, when you call the AW =
SDK Login Functions without any intervention, your Dialog Thread does =
not receive the WIN32 Message Pump until each one of functions you call =
has finished.
Subsequently, your Dialog Thread is not able to do a Redraw, =
causing undesired Dialog Painting effects.

Q. What is this Thread you speak of?
A. Think of a thread in terms of real life . . .=20
Imagine our program as a string of yarn.
Now, think back to kindergarten, what is yarn made of? --- Why, =
threads of course!
=20
This applies to WIN32 Programming also, however, WIN32 Programs =
are not usually made of hundreds of threads :) --- Usually there's 2 or =
3, and in the case of simple MFC App Wizard applications, there's 1.
=20
This single thread is assigned the job of many things, including =
: Repainting the windows, and any code executed from within it (Such as =
a while block) . . . While blocks will cause the thread to focus in ONLY =
on repeating the code contained inside the block, and not redraw the =
windows, or any of the other stuff it's SUPPOSED to do

Q. Alrighty, that was a kind of loaded answer . . . How does Andon13 =
solve the "Lock-Up Look" problem?
A. Haven't you learned anything so far? =3DP
The most simple solution to the whole problem is the one used . =
.. .
=20
In this work-around, we create a Background Worker thread . . . =
This thread has no Dialog Boxes or anything assigned to it, so it can =
focus solely on the AW SDK Initialization / Login --- Further, it has =
the ability to send data to the MAIN Thread, which is the basis for =
the nifty looking status indicator used in this solution.

=20
Q. Wow, sounds interesting . . . Is it hard to implement?
A. No, not at all --- The whole Sample Source code has been =
commented from head to toe (Well, the functions relating to the LOGIN =
anyway).

NOTE:
Here's a list of syntax / usage / purpose for the most commonly used =
functions in this sample code :

Function: Class: =
Usage: =
=
=
Return Type:
NewStatus(CString LOG, int nTYPE); CLogin Log is =
the message to be appended to the status text area of the Status Dialog, =
nTYPE is an integer value specifying the type of Status Message being =
sent VOID

=
nTYPE:
=
-1 =3D Append without increasing the Progress =
Indicator's Position
=
0 =3D Error --- This removes ANY progress currently =
shown in the Progress Indicator
=
1 =3D Append and Step the Progress indicator up 1 =
notch.

Function: =
=
=
Class: Usage:
Login (CString chPassword, int nCitnum, int nX, int nY, int nZ, int =
nYAW, int nAV, CString WorldName, CString chIP, int nPort, CString =
chBotName) CLogin Pretty straight forward . . . This function =
is to be called ONLY from within the Thread.

Return Type:
Boolean -- TRUE if the login completed without any errors, =
otherwise, it returns FALSE.

Function: Class: =
Usage:
ThreadFunc (LPVOID pParam) N/A (Global) This is =
called with the creation of the thread . . . There is no need to modify =
the Input / Output to this whatsoever, however, you may change the =
functions called from it (Login being the only important one)

Return Type:
UINT -- No need for intervention with this, just let =
WIN32 Process it.

Function: =
Class: Usage: =
=
=
Return Type:
OnThreadFinished (WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) CLogin =
This is called by the Global Scope call to =
::PostMessage(There's some parameter's in here, but who cares? =3D)) =
LONG --- Leave this to WIN32

That's pretty much it --- If you have any questions, or find any =

There needs to be a way to get the avatars.zip file in the SDK . . .

I always get complaints from people saying that using Avatar Numbers =
is highly antiquated, and should be changed . . . After all, the AW =
Client uses names. Why not create an SDK function that creates an =
Internet Session and called OpenURL to the Path Containing Avatars.zip? =
That way the only data returned would be a pointer to a CStdioFile =
object. This would keep the "Privacy" which I think is the reason for =
hiding the Object path from the SDK and Client?

Please post your thoughts in the following threads.

Roland, I think it would be a nice change if you would remove the Want
return from the Edit Box in the Telegram Dialog, and instead, allow for
multilane whispers . . .

Of course this would mean you'd have to add a 2nd Dialog Box for reading
them in their intended viewing format (OR Coding in a spacing / alignment
calculator to display the message in the chat history the same way it was
written).
