As far as I know...
In the .lib, .dll, and .h files that are included in the SDK download... Many of those defnitions are not actully available to the SDK. Using the example you gave.. AW_CONTACT_NUMBER is not a attribute that would be available to any bot. Their counterparts may not be either.. And I wouldn't expect those to be documented.. Then again, with the introduction of AFK mode, handle_contact_state makes sense... I guess you'll have to ask 999 about it. -Jeremy -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker JTech Web Systems (www.JTechWebSystems.com -- Coming Soon) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [View Quote] Worldserver(?) bug with global mode + invisible botsJun 8, 2002, 8:07pm
Reading this post.. It became a little confusing which build is which.
Does anyone keep track of which builds come out when and the files that go along with them? I've never found such a place, so I think I'll dedicate a page on my website. I'm interested in finding copies of all the aw releases of the AW browser, admin tool and world server. If you have one of these saved somewhere, please e-mail it to me with an appropriate description of what it is.

By "imposter" you mean you're getting an error code that doesn't show up
in the SDK error codes list? I have a sneaking suspicion that those error code tables aren't getting updated as often as they should (or not at all)... We've also come to the conclusion that some error codes are passed though the brower from 3rd part code, such as the microsoft Internet Explorer code that handles the HTTP requests for download objects, textures, sounds, and avatars. Basically, if it's not in the SDK error code tables, you're SOL. YOu can try e-mailing support at activeworlds.com, I'm not sure if they'll really be of any help on this matter though. -Jeremy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker - Owner / Webmaster JTech Web Systems www.JTechWebSystems.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Maybe I should spill the beans... But during some chat with Will (999),
he mentioned a new linux world server that was a total rewrite of the first, including support for MySQL. I'm not sure about any of the details, or any estimated release date. He just said he had been working on rewriting the server and that it supported MySQL. -Jeremy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker - Owner / Webmaster JTech Web Systems www.JTechWebSystems.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

I've heard that this *can* be done, given enough determination and a
little will-power. Unfortunatly, there isn't a good how-to doc, or any documentation for that matter, specificly for setting up the AW browser on linux. The only place I know to point you is to the WinE (the emulator chrispeg already mentioned) site. You should be able to find everything you need to know about setting up WinE at http://www.winehq.com/. You can then setup AW from there. If you get it to work, try to document what you do or keep a record and report back on your success. :-) G'luck :-) Regards, Jeremy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker - Owner / Webmaster JTech Web Systems www.JTechWebSystems.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

On a more constructive note ...Jun 19, 2006, 1:31am
Sounds interesting, but you should really code it in ANSI standard C++
instead of proprietary .NET. Standard C++ will be much more useful to many more people who are not windows/microsoft-centric. -J [View Quote] On a more constructive note ...Jun 19, 2006, 4:07pm
[View Quote]
From my understanding, ANSI C++ is C#, but C# isn't ANSI C++...
In other words, the C#.NET compiler should compile standard ANSI C++ just fine, but the ANSI C++ compiler will choke on C#. I admit, I'm not a M$ kinda guy, and thus I'm not familiar with C#... So, don't quote me on that. I'm sure Strike will be able to correct me if I'm wrong.... -J Passing a Variable to a urlAug 8, 2001, 11:13pm
I'm with Grimble, as this is really confusing. However, I'm going to do my
best to clarify what I think is the answer to your question..... The question was rather confusing sounding, but the example was clearer...so I'll use it. >For example aw_url_send just lets me put >in the url, but I need to be able to send a variable (such as to an ASP >page) so that a slightly different page could be opened depending on the >variable. If I understand correctly... You want the bot to send a URL to the client, along with a variable. The variable will determine which page will be displayed, or can just fill in certain parts. This could be done with CGI or ASP (just as faber suggested). Your bot would send the url to the client, the url would point to the script. (I would use CGI/PERL) The script would parse the input, and output a page, or replace items in a template with inputted values. I have all the parts to the script, and I could put one together for you relatively quickly. If I'm totally off, let me know... But I think that clarifies what Faber was saying... -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker JTech Web Systems (www.JTechWebSystems.com -- Coming Soon) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [View Quote] Passing a Variable to a urlAug 9, 2001, 11:54pm

[key1] = [value1] & [key2] = [value2] As you can see, it takes the use of many name/value pairs... The script can split this long URL into intelligible chunks, and test the values to take the proper course of action.... There may actually be a limit to how much information you can pass. You could consider writing the information to a file, and having the script retrieve it to display the page. This is a lot more complex a task though.... I would work with you to write this script.... e-mail or telegram me if you're interested....

You couldn't have 2 scripts trying to read and write to the same file, at the same time.... That would produce hellish results. Use a random number, or an icriminted index #, as the file name. This prevents the script from corrupting its self. However, there is still a rare chance that you could (with precise timeing and a lot of luck) get the same random # or an index # that hasn't been incrimented. To deal with this I use (in perl at least..) file locks ( flock() ) to prevent any other instenation of the script from using the file....You can check for a file lock. If it's locked, there's a problem.. You can either deal with it by trying a different file name, or by simply exiting with an error message and letting the user retry the script. >Calls to ASP scripts are > session-based so its a one-request-one-response conversation unless you > either build some persistence on the web side (servlets, etc.) or make some > conversation model. > > If you only want to pass one of the variables in any one call, the string > building routines can handle that in the same way in the same way as the > values.

What the hell are you talking about? The passwords are encrypted every step
of the way. The only way to get them is with brute for cracking (a program to guess the password). Which, takes forever unless you have a supercomputer. Needless to say, someone didn't get 53 of them by that method. It takes an ungodly amount of time just to get one. That only leaves a few other options. First, what you're saying is totally false. Second, the password was intercepted between the world server and client, or vice versa. The password must be sent from the world server to the client, so the client can unzip the rwx files. This, however, is also encrypted.... The only other way is if someone was actully good enough to compromise a few servers and get an atdump. But I presume even *that* stores the password encrypted...
