Help Needed: Bot can't login?

Dec 15, 1998, 4:07pm

I'm trying to put together a simple 'bot using the sdk. Everything seems
fine, but login attempts keep coming back as rc=43 (password incorrect).
I've double checked the citizen number and the privilege password, and both
seem to be right. Is there some other reason why the bot wouldn't be able to
log in?

Oh, I'm using SDK build 10 and Metrowerks CodeWarrior C++ on Windows NT 4.0
(sp3) in case that makes any difference.

Thanks,

Help Needed: Bot can't login?

Here's a snippet. Because this is all C++ code, there isn't a simple =
code flow that you can follow as in the SDK sample programs provided on =
the activeworlds web page. Modularity is nice, said an old professor of =
mine, but it has a habit of using up lots of paper.

bool Robot::Create(void)
{
int rc;
=20
rc =3D aw_create(universe_name, universe_port, &instanceID);

return (rc =3D=3D 0);
}

bool Robot::Login(void)
{
int rc;

cout << "Login Name =3D " << login_name << "\n";
cout << "Login Owner =3D " << login_owner << "\n";
cout << "Login Password =3D " << login_passwd << "\n";
=20
aw_string_set(AW_LOGIN_NAME, login_name);
aw_int_set(AW_LOGIN_OWNER, login_owner);
aw_string_set(AW_LOGIN_PASSWORD, login_passwd);
aw_string_set(AW_LOGIN_APPLICATION, "Benjamin Sample SDK Bot");
rc =3D aw_login();
=20
cout << "Login Result =3D " << rc << "\n";

return (rc =3D=3D 0);
}

When Login is run, it prints:

Login Name =3D GreetBot
Login Owner =3D 291967
Login Password =3D XXXXXXXX
Login Result =3D 43

(I've intentionally hidden the password above.)

Aaah!!!

Of course, I had to post it to find the bug...

Where it says AW_LOGIN_PASSWORD below, it should say =
AW_LOGIN_PRIVILEGE_PASSWORD instead!

Thanks, all.

a note about bots and special avatars

Dec 19, 1998, 1:16am

This reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask. Is there a way,
using the SDK, to get a list of the available avatars on a world by name? Is
there a way to get the list of available gestures for a given avatar by
name?

Hambot-based bots seem to know how to do this, but I could be wrong.

Thanks!

Bot avatars...

Jan 1, 1999, 5:20pm

[View Quote]
This feature alone (plus a $20 tool for making simple avatars, or a yearly
fee for registering them) would bring in lots of new revenue into COF. I
realize that you're "just the engineer" (so to speak), but I hope everyone
at COF realizes how many people are waiting with bated breath for that
feature.

I used to be involved with the MUD/MUSH text-based worlds that were popular
5-10 years ago and the one thing that came up over and over is that there
are a relatively small number of people who want to build rooms, buildings,
places etc. compared to the number of people who just want to tour around
and express themselves. The *key* item in self-expression is appearance,
both in RL and in VR. Hence the need for custom avs and sequences.

Please take all of this as a vote, I hope, for custom avatars and more
avatar control in the SDK (and in the browser) sometime very soon.

Thanks,
