The reason why Xelagots do NOT eject when they hear bad words is that I am
absolutely against that sort of practice. Words have a context, and bots
(at present) can not correctly identify this context. A human being can
decide that a word, even if it is on the black list, does not deserve
ejection under certain circumstances: a bot can not.

Xelagots can warn you bad words are being said, but will not eject the
offender: that's up to you. You can of course overrule this behaviour by
writing a script, but I won't help you do it :)

Xelagots don't have the FTP protocol, so the answer is no :)

Thanks, but not at present. I can add it myself, I have the tools here to do
it, but the bot has a lot in it already, and I'm being carefull now what I
add. I want to release a final (haha, never been one in the 2 years of the
bot), the much expected 3.0 or 3.1 (getting tired of so many 99999s).

No, not stop developing... There will be new features and bug fixes, but
every new feature of weight requires a lot of testing, so I'm being careful
of what I add and when. My priority now is to get the 3.1 functions working,
without breaking old code, so the bot keeps functioning in 2.x, 3.0
universes and worlds as well.

While still in beta-testing, Xelagot 3.3 is healthy and doing well,.
It has decided to dedicate it's new version to the person who made it
possible for bots to exist and multiply: Roland Vilett.

Thank you, Roland, for providing us with such a wonderful tool! My
bots and I wish you a very happy and successfull future.

On the xelagot scripts page, I now included a section (at the bottom) with
downloadable zipped examples (with html help) of how to tackle the xelagot
scripting. At present, I include only two examples for Chat: one is VERY
simple, good for beginners. The second one is complex... I will add some
intermediate steps too. These are not really full tutorials, one must learn
to use the online help files, but I hope this will help people to make their
own scripts.

If you are interested in beta-testing a simple bank bot script, please send
an email (NO TELEGRAMS) to xelag at 3dee.nl

Try copy+paste a story (not too long, or just in chunks) into the xelagots
chat input, and hit enter. Instead of saying just one line of text, the bot
will recite the text at a certain pace. It also works using the scripting
language, see my latest examples (iLabBooth2.txt) at
http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgasexamplesidx.html, look for how the the
keyword 'Laws' is treated.

No, the bot can be anywhere to survey, it does not even need to be visible,
but it needs to be in the world.

The biggest problem, which is not well shown in the AW examples, is how to
query outside GZ. If you follow the AW example, you get stuck in GZ.

I'll give my example in Delphi Pascal, read it as pseudo code. Supposing you
start querying at coords CentralSectorNS, CentralSectorWE (I use NS and WE
instead of z and x, I find them more convenient to use). These coordinates
are in sector units, use aw_sector_from_cell(...) to get them from the cell
coordinates of your starting point.

Suppose that in the event CellBegin you get cNS, cWE (in cell units). You
need to do a sanity check:
// chnage to sector units
sNS := aw_sector_from_cell(cNS);
sWE := aw_sector_from_cell(cWE);
// the next two lines are the clue: you subtract the original sector
coordinates from the one you get in CellBegin.
sapNS := sNS - CentralSectorNS;
sapWE := sWE - CentralSectorWE;
// and you set your boolean CellOverflow
CellOverflow := (sapNS < -1) or (sapNS > 1) or (sapWE < -1) or (sapWE >
1);
then, if CellOverflow = False, everything is ok and you can proceed further.

Just one more remark: we work here actually with 3 different systems of
units, but they are all interrelated. The units used for positions of
objects and avatars are in centimetres (negative values for east and south).
To pass to cell units, which are in integer decametres, one divides by 1000
and converts the result to integer. Delphi does not have an adecuate
function, but Basic does: Int, or in some Basic dialects, Trunc. The
important thing is that the rounding off is done 'downwards' and not towards
zero. For positive numbers, there is no difference: down is always towards
zero. For negative numbers, towards zero changes -3.2 to -3, downwards
changes it to -4 (and this is what you need). So test your function first
(I think it is Int in VB, but I might be wrong). To pass from cell units to
sector units, use the function provided by AW: aw_sector_from_cell.

Example of a normal coord in cm:
NS := 54321
WE := -9276
these represent actually 54.321N 9.276E

The cell coordinates of these are
cNS := 54
cWE := -10

The stupid thing queues up the actions per category, it never sends
directly. As from next version 3.303, the sending order will be:

1) Console messages
2) Whispers
2) Chat Aloud
3) Text


Within each category, messages are sent in the order they were
requested.

In my delphi bot I use this:

function UnixToVRTime(UnixTime: Integer): TDateTime;
begin
{Unix time is GMT in seconds, VRT is 2 hrs earlier}
Result := UnixToDelphiTime(UnixTime - 7200);
end;

function UnixToDelphiTime(UnixTime: Integer): TDateTime;
begin
{UnixTime is GMT in seconds. 86400 secs in day,
25569 days from Unix standard 1 jan 1970 to Delphi2 30 dec 1899 }
Result := (UnixTime / 86400) + 25569;
end;

Sorry, I dont know how to convert it to DOS units or so...

Hi, troop2, I got your message, but your isp rejects mail from my isp, with
the message "Die stupid spammer!" Since you did not sign your email with
your aw nickname, I reply here. Here is my:

Thats not easy, because only 3.1 browsers are 'recognised' by the sdk, 3.0
are not 'seen'. But I suppose all 3.0 browsers are now 3.1, that should be
ok then. There is a new statement, GetVersion %v &p, which tells you the
version of the browser for people, and of the sdk for bots. It only works
in 3.1 worlds.. If the version is 3.1, it will give you the nuber, otherwise
you get 0 or maybe -1 (I don't remember), just try it.

[View Quote] Hey, in xelagot how can yyou tell if a person has 3.1, 3.0, or a 2.2
browser??? Cuz in my pball script iim making it so when you have a 2.2
browser it ejects you, and when you have a 3.0 or higer it avwarps you
How would you do that???

The xelagot paintball script has a bug in the event handler for the avatar
click event. To correct it, copy paste the code below to replace the
*whole* event handler in the script. The bug is not really in the script
but in the scripting engine, the code below will fix it through the script.
I'm still tracking the bug itself :(

Event Click1
# get ejector data
GetSourcePerson &Hunter
# get target (= victim) data
GetTargetPerson &Victim
# check source is in own area
IfLoc &Hunter IsInSquare at LimitA at LimitB # carry on LOL
Else EndEvent
# Victim's session to check eject timeout
GetSession %Session &Victim
# if target <> bot, gosub...
IfPerson &Victim IsNotBot Gosub CheckEject
EndEvent


The old code that produces the error is:

Event Click1
# remove click detection
OnAvatarClickEvent
# get ejector data
GetSourcePerson &Hunter
# get target (= victim) data
GetTargetPerson &Victim
# check source is in own area
IfLoc &Hunter IsInSquare at LimitA at LimitB # carry on LOL
Else Goto Click1End
# Victim's session to check eject timeout
GetSession %Session &Victim
# if target <> bot, gosub...
IfPerson &Victim IsNotBot Gosub CheckEject
Label Click1End
# enable click detection
OnAvatarClickEvent Click1
EndEvent

and the error is here:
# remove click detection
OnAvatarClickEvent

A bug in event handlers, causing GOTO's to fail on certain occasions, has
been fixed. This bug caused problems in the Paintball and a few other
standard scripts.

The new X1 2.9999976, Av99bot 2.976 and SrvcXlgBot 2.976 have this fix. It
is recommended to upgrade if you use or make scripts.

Mar 12, 2001, 8:37am

Hi Brandon,

to run more than 3 bots in an Av99bot application, you don't need the
server. Just follow the instructions on how to set up the ini file. As j b e
l l says, if your PRIVILEGE password in AW is banana, put ?banana in the ini
file, and leave the ClientXXX fields unfilled. If you want to set up a
xelagot server, you can try that once you are familiar with your bot.

A simple example:

[Bot1]
BotName=Squirt
Profile=
UniverseName=ActiveWorlds
World=xelagon
Location=1.932n 2.982w 22.90a 240.0
Avatar=30
CitizenNumber=289499
PrivilegePassword=?banana
CitizenName=Brandon
Owners=289499,299724,299728

Mar 12, 2001, 8:43am

and if the universe is not AW, for example, if it is Vectorscape, use the
data of the Vectorscape browser:

[Bot1]
BotName=Squirt
Profile=
UniverseName=VectorScape
Host=universe01.vectorscape.net
Port=0
....etc

My experience has been very hazardous too, and I've crashed world
servers a few times. It seems that the safest way is to delete all
terrain first, and then start uploading full pages, one at a time, on
an empty database. You can not just create a node, it must be done
according to certain rules when you make a page. It's a bit
complicated:

A node must have EITHER all same textures and heights, OR be the
smallest node (which is 8x8 cells)

The largest node you can have is the size of a page, 128x128 cells. if
this size has either different heights or textures, it must be chopped
into 4 equal nodes of 64x64 cells. If any of these have different
altitudes or textures, chop it again into 4 equal parts (32x32 cells).
carry on doing this until you get to an 8x8 size: this is the smallest
size allowed.

Once you have all the nodes of a page, you can start sending them to
the server, in the correct order, which is from east-to-west (X), send
each 'column' of nodes south-to-north (Z) (east-to-west is the outer
i.e. slower loop).

To modify the terrain partially, you should not use the load_node
method.
