Multithreading Tutorial (Was to be "Is there a wait command?")

Aug 1, 2002, 6:58pm
[View Quote]
This one can be accomplished by using the function Sleep() unless your bot has a GUI, which complicated things.

use Sleep(5000); to wait 5 seconds.

Xelagot chess-bug fixed

May 2, 2001, 5:29pm
Hmm, a question comes to my mind.. .why does Xelagot have check-mate verification code and a chess script ?

Wouldn't either a) the bot do chess without the need to be scripted to it or b) (preferably) a chess script also include the
check-mate verification and therefore be the only thing needing an upgrade ?

Just a thought :)

And yes, i still do question your versioning scheme :) "2.9999991" can't be called a version number, i'd say :)

Preston question....

May 17, 2001, 4:12pm
I am assuming you use Preston 33.

Enter a regular entry to your dictionary that puts up the sign. Then right-click that new created event and select "add sequence".

The new action edit dialog is now attached as a sequence to your sign action. Adjust the settings so that this second entry creates
a sign as well, and click "OK" to save these changes. Now the dictionary display both entries in sequence.

In response to KAH: 2 exact similar event settings are not possible in Preston. A new entry having the same event would overwrite
the old one.

Well, you can add a sequence to the build-in version command.

Besides that, the "read-only" feature of version and owner suffered more than once from bugs that allowed their temporary

As i telegrammed you today, your observation is correct and it will be corrected in the next preston version, which because of that

Which means it will be released at some point in november, i guess in the next 2 weeks or so.

Well, a bot cannot pick up the current object selection of the browser. Therefore you would have to
communicate in a differentway to the bot which object to manipulate.

This would either require pretty bad interface ("Enter exact position and model") or a good
interface providing some graphical choosing method, say, a 2d blueprint of the world or so.

But i have the feeling both is not what you intendet :)

Open Source Development

Jun 15, 2000, 2:46pm
I wonder why for Open-Source projects always only the successful ones are given as an example. The
most known bad example is Mozilla. Until yet, that group can not deliver. If they ever do, they will
deliver late, incomplete (licensing), <IMHO>and from what the beta shows, pretty ignorant regarding
at least one of the main systems they need to run on (i.e. Windows.) </IMHO>

Anyway, Open Source works only either if the project is small enough (that was the case for the open
source "prototype", fetchmail, but its not the case with AW) or if many decent programmers are
interested in developing it (which was the case initially for Mozilla, but not anymore, and which is
for sure not the case for AW).

I think the linux success is driven by one single goal: overtake windows. That goal is shared by all
linux participants. Windows is the enemy. If there is no such goal, then there is no group focussing
on it, everyone will have his/her own set of targets and priorities. I suspect if Windows fell
behind, Linux would suffer from that. Add this one to the reasons why Mozilla failed (when it
startet IE was not advanced enough to provide a feature and quality level goal for every
participant, now it would, but the inertia is gone).

An AW Open-Source would not even have this kind of focusing from the start. I like reality, others
like shoot-em up.. etc etc

It might be tempting to try and find a way which incorporates "best of both worlds", i.e. a
Management that sets goals and causes focussing, and thousands of programmers that do not ask for
pay. But didn't Netscape try exaclty that ? (and yes, Netscape was critized for doing so)

AW would start as a propriety system that would be suddenly opened up to the open source community
as well. There will be lots of initial problems surrounding the licensing and exactly how the
project will be run. It will be realized quickly that AW's code is a disaster and a completely new
design will be attempted. A rewrite will be in progress for years, checkpoints being released... etc
..etc I think you get the point. AW is not the "model" for a good open source project. (I heard

Yes, the fact that so many people participate is of course about fun, learning and fame. But the
fact that all those people focus on the same thing is due to Windows competition.

And i think Mozilla will only have a chance if District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's ruling is

Disabling HTML in Outlook Express 5/6

Jul 14, 2001, 1:42pm
I need an explanation

Usenet is based on an ASCII based protocol, just like email is. But just as in email, this does not force us into ascii display.

HTML-Messaging was introduced by Netscape, not by Microsoft.

But the explanation i need is: Why do the AW newsgroup have to take care of the fact that 2/3rd of the people in the world never
made a phone call ?

I mean, as the technology is progressing, we regularly raised the "lowest" standard, say, in screen resolution, bandwith, colors of
the display, speed of the machine, etc etc.

So why exactly would we exclude one single tiny bid of technology, the format of newsgroup messages, from this ? If your excuse of
people paying by the hour or having slow connection would hold, why do abuse departements not deal with colorful web sites ? Why is
streaming video still allowed on the internet ?

There is a well established standard of usenet and email encoding, its called MIME. It is well accepted, and every little HTML
message is encoded in MIME, along with its plain-text counterpart. That means that all that is asked from news readers is that they
are MIME compliant. They could easily strip out the HTML part then.

Every Newsreader that also reads emails IS MIME - Compliant as that is mandatory for emails these days. So its actually not much to
ask for, and i think the only non mime compliant news reader is free-agent.

That means that there is one single newsreader that has trouble with HTML messages. But, actually, thats not my concern. There are
also lots of people reading usenet on palmtops. Or have vision handicaps. I am really very sorry for those, but we cannot all
behave as if we were slow, blind, deaf, and read the newsgroups on 8 bit machines. There is no point in a backwards compatibility of
that kind.

I wish that people which complain about html would, after all, keep to the real arguments they might have. And the only valid
argument i have seen is that if everyone posted in HTML we would have a pretty mix of colors, fonts etc. But thats what real letters
make out. And thats what the web makes out. And thats somethign the usenet world could learn to adapt to if it were allowed to give
it a try.

Lets keep an realistic view on things here, you are NOT fighting against HTML because of bandwidth problems. Right now we have,
what, 10% in html here ?5% ? And, say, below 100 posts per day ? And HTML puts what, less than 5k on a posting ? So you are

Why don't you draw the line there then ? Why insist on "no html". Just ask for "no stationaries, no pictures" then.

Well, thats why "no pictures" make sense. But i am talking about simple html. Simple Text-Markup.

If people would use simple HTML, but on the other hand not complain about it, the number of posts would actually
radically decrease. Ever thought of that ?

Fine. Lets throw our technology in the winds. Lets stick to 1980 technology. Lets all revert back to green-on-black text, shall we ?
Lets forget about 3d-internet that aw is and meet in a pub, ok ?

Why this categorical denial ? It is not based on any logic argument. Draw the lines somewhere else, where they belong.

To all the HTML people...

Jul 14, 2001, 2:57pm
I would once in a while use html to have a posting that allows me to

a) emphasize a paragraph or a word, e.g. use BOLD instead of capitals
b) have a quoting separated by a different style to be easily distinguishable
c) use html - list tags for stuff like this

I am prevented from doing so because HTML is categorically denied. You may argue that some or even many HTML posts are bloated, look
like crap, etc etc, but thats not because they in HTML, thats because the guy writing it did not care about its looks.

However, this is also usually the case with plain text postings. They all usually "look like crap".

So my need is to have only a few formatting options available. No pictures, and only a few if any colors.

But all the time you run into people that full quote your HTML and add a "do not post in HTML". Those people are not considering the
content of your message. They didn't not compare message sizes. They saw something webbish and stopped reading and thinking.

Faber

ps: I have saved this email in a HTML format and in a plain text format. plain text has 3k, HTML has 6k. Your assumption of 20K

[View Quote] No, they are not. It does not enable me to distinguish between a capital word and a bold word. or a word that has an underscore in
front and behind it, and a word that is underlined.

Using capitals, asterisks and underscores is something like adjust the human reader so that it understand the handicapped machine.
That was necessary long ago, it is not anymore these days.

You know that a hand written letter has far more styles (and people use them) then an ascii terminal ? Those techical limits that
were present 20 years ago are so artificial. There is no meaning in those anymore today.

- Pure Plain-Text is artificial. No HTML is artificial and outdated
- No Pictures, no binaries is artificial but valid for another few years
- No colors, no visual "junk" is a natural limit and never asked for. I do not know why.

This, as the rest stated above, is a work-around, not a solution. No newsreader knows how to proper break lines properly.

You remember Eep fight for certain settings regarding line breaks in newsreaders ? He asks you to not limit your lines so
that the recipients newsreader can break the lines as they fit on screen. ? Did you ever notice that there are many others that
ask you for a 79 character limit on each line, so that terminals or transport protocols do not break ?

You know that HTML encoding would eliminate all of this, as it does not need simple carrige returns/line feeds as line breaks. It
breaks lines just as a web page does which has no concept of line breaks, all it has is paragraph separators.

The technology is there, only very odd, old and aritifical rules prevent us from using it.

Now we come to an agreement. I agree that most HTML here is posted just to annoy people, and you may have realized, that I actually
never used HTML here. I would have, maybe once or twice in a month, but i did not because its not accepted here.

But I do question that behaviour, I do not see any reason for this categorical denial.

So why don't we change the rules from "no html" to "no bloatet messages, no binaries, and no intentional provoking".

Well, arbitrary numbers are pretty bad if you do not have support for them. My numbers showed a 3k plain text post to increase to 6k
by using html.
That does not tell if the size doubles, or say, if the size just increases by 3k. a 10k message might be 13k in HTML, we do not
know.

I think that the numbers are in between, it might grow to 15k or 18k, but even if. 20k is not much these days, and you don't need
HTML to reach it. A nice little full quote does it too.

--==USW Web-Site==--

Sorry to disappoint you, but i would not thank your webmaster if i were
you.

My personal oppinion:

1) he put up a rediculous warning page as if you were about to enter an
adults only area
2) your home page is not a home page but a navigation help page, pretty
redundant
3) your Webmaster has a a Spelling Problem (capitalization)
4) your longer texts (e.g. CHALLENGE) show that your webmaster used a way
to TINY font that noone can stand for more than 3 lines of text.

Well, and being polite once in a while is no option i guess ?

Even in your speech where you complain about him not inviting you to his
beta list, you can't stop insulting him. It does seem he deals very good
with it... apparently better than I do as I do not seem to keep my "ignore
eep" up...

> Exactly. Take Young Phalpha. Who the fuck is s/he? I've never heard of
him/her before since perhaps a couple months or so ago...and I've certainly
been using AW longer (summer 1997) and have been beta testing AW for almost
as long too, yet that unexperienced twirp makes the closed beta over me??
The only reason Roland didn't "invite" me is because I give him the
straight dope without all the fluff and ass-kissing most people give him.
He simply can't handle the ONSLAUGHT of my dead-on RIPS of his pathetic
coding attempt that he'd rather simply not even deal with me at all, which
is also why he mutes me at TechTalks and doesn't respond to my telegrams.
He's had his wittle feelwings bwuised by the truth and now can't build up
his self-esteem enough to deal with it. Pa-fucking-thetic.

> There isn't? How about posting a newsgroup post first? I was still able
to READ the newsgroups; the problem was in POSTING to them. Had there been
a message from you or some other clueless AWCIer about the newsgroup
POSTING problem, I would not have had to email AWCI "support".

What irony.. .besides the bad manners and lack of knowledge.... even logic
seems to be absent. I could not resist to point this out. If posting to a
news server is not possible you cannot post a message to it that posting is
not possible. You have to fix the server first, and have to use another
channel of communication such as the web. Its simple logic. Must be
difficult to see while trying to shoot down your enemies.

But nevertheless, you seem to have a fan out there in the universe. After
all, imitation is the highest form of admiration and appreciation, right,
I.A. ?

[View Quote] LOL, this is incredible...

whine about a 6k html posting, while at the same time FULL QUOTING the post you reply to, inflating your little sentence to
4k...

ps: no offence intended, but this really had no valid point in it....
