Does anyone have any bots that they give away? I have looked around at
Imabot, Xelagot, and other kinds of bots like that. I am talking more of the
homegrown variety. Also, I would be willing to help with beta-testing of
bots. Let me know.
Thanks,
Andrew Bugera(Agent1)

What I am looking for is a compiled bot that has some useful functions. As
long as it has decent documentation (even a short instruction from the
creator), I should be able to use it fine.

Another test... please ignore if this post appears.
Jan 1, 2000, 10:20pm
.... but I can't find it so I'll ask again.
What would be involved in making a bot walk over bumps in a terrain? I am
reffering to the way they walk as if they are using shift. We are designing
a group of bots and it would seems much more natural if they walked over and
around the bumps instead of through them.

I believe that an article in the next AW Newsletter may end up being
slightly misleading. I am posting this here, as if I tried to post to the
news.activeworlds.com/community newsgroup, it would most likely be rejected.
I saw HamFon was in ActiveS (Mech's world) and I thought there might be some
truth to what Mech Warrior told me. Anyway, here's what I have to show you.
-----------------------------------------------
*********************************************************
* Active Worlds chat session: Sun Feb 13, 2000 12:20 PM *
*********************************************************
Mech Warrior: Ok, well, we have been trying to keep this covered up because,
It will be announced throught The Aw Newsletter.
Mech Warrior: I beleive as best bot or something
Agent1: I see
Mech Warrior: with like a 8 paragraph article.
Mech Warrior: And we are just releasing the Flora and Fauna Intellegent is
hush hush
Mech Warrior: Because
Mech Warrior: We are not COMPLETLY done with it.
Mech Warrior: we still need to program alot more.
Mech Warrior: like houses.
Mech Warrior: etc.
Agent1: I thought so...
Mech Warrior: and we still have to make about 3000 avatars .
Mech Warrior: for the bot to use.
Mech Warrior: like baby
Mech Warrior: to adult
Mech Warrior: we were thinking
Mech Warrior: just making the berry get bigger and bigger
Mech Warrior: And when it is angry
Mech Warrior: it will turn red
Mech Warrior: and when it is happy it will be green
Mech Warrior: when it is sad it will turn yellow
Mech Warrior: and when it is dead it will turn into ghostberry
Mech Warrior: and float up into the air.
Mech Warrior: hehe
Mech Warrior: good idead huh?
Mech Warrior: idea*
Agent1: Yep :)
Mech Warrior: are you good at anything that could help us?
Mech Warrior: if so. I will let you join.
Agent1: Well... I could build things... create simple objects... code a
little bit (in C though)
Mech Warrior: I really need object creators.. no builders
Mech Warrior: we need
Mech Warrior: about 1000 berry's
Mech Warrior: from like a small ant
Mech Warrior: To a gigantic berry
Mech Warrior: about the size of a pp01m
Mech Warrior: or pp01l
Agent1: Uhh... if you need that many... why not just code a way to modify
the RWX files and upload them as needed?
Mech Warrior: It isn't possible in vb
Mech Warrior: I believe
Agent1: :O
Agent1: You can't read/write to files?
Mech Warrior: it can do that
Mech Warrior: just cannot upload.
Agent1: hmm.. That's odd
Mech Warrior: we've tried everything.
.......
Mech Warrior: see ya later

Would this be connected to AW in any way? If not, this really isn't the
place to ask for help.
You could try www.gamedev.net or www.flipcode.com (I think) for some game
programming (and other general coding help). Gamedev.net has a bunch of
forums (including ones where you can ask for help).

It would be nice if we could specify just one co-ordinate and have the avatar be warped relative to thier current position.

"007 awp Abbot Pabisoko, 5N" would move him 5 meters (or co-ords) north from his current spot.

I believe that once Preston has Bone features added to it, it will be
possible to remotly control a Preston (if you're authorized).
Faber has said he will add this to one of the upcoming versions. We'll just

Since I don't know exactly how Preston works, I'll only be able to give a general answer.
I'm assuming that Preston has to load all of your commands into memory so that it can check them against the events it is recieving
from the world server as quickly as possible. I may be wrong, because the entries can still be read from the file every time, but
that would take a considerably longer amount of time (I think :D).
Anyway, I hope Faber reads this soon and can give a better explanation than I did :)

Litestep does seem to be a much more stable shell than Explorer. However, I
would only reccommend using a different shell if you are an advanced
computer user and know exactly what you are doing. If you are an advanced
user, you might want to give it a try. Good thing is, you can always just
switch back to the regular Windows shell.

I've just completed the first publicly available version of BonePhone! :)
Check it out at http://hairsquare.virtualave.net/bnph.html.
BonePhone acts as a relay system between a Bone channel and a world in AW.
Currently, BonePhone is in beta, so there may be a few bugs left.
You can ask general questions on the message board (link on BonePhone page)
and I will try to answer them as best I can. Also, bug reports can be made
by emailing me at Agent1 at my.activeworlds.com with the subject "BonePhone Bug
Report". If possible, include the general time of the problem in the email.
Have fun :)

There is no feature like this :) There is however, the aw_teleport() thingy :D
This allows you to move an avatar to anywhere you want if you have eject rights. A bot maker would have to have the bot keep
updating the avatar's position to it's own. Faber has implemented a "carry" command in Daniel (AWGames). It's kind of fun... for a

Now, call me lazy, but I want it fixed! :D
Instead of only specifying these as it does now:
AW_OBJECT_SESSION
AW_CELL_SEQUENCE
AW_CELL_X
AW_CELL_Z
AW_OBJECT_NUMBER
Why not have it specify the same attributes as AW_EVENT_OBJECT_ADD? Or is
there a simpler way to decrementing the number of a certain model than
keeping track of all of the objects?
