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.

XelaG and his Xelagots

The first version of Xelagot 3.3, sdk build 24, including x1, av99bot
and srvcxlgbot, is now available for download at:

http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/


This version is dedicated to Roland Vilett, on his last day as
programmer of Active Worlds.

Yeah, the bot in global mode perceives a lot, but other avatars don't.
If an avatar does not 'see' the global mode bot, it can not hear it
either. Notice that this applies too if the bot is invisible in global
mode: it hears all chats, but it cannot reply by chat or whisper. The
global mode bot does not know if the other is within hearing range
even if it is visible in the world. Use console message to talk to
people far away.

What always works in global mode is: console message, avatar
warp/teleport, send url and eject, because the target avatar does not
need to know who did these actions.

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.

Cheers,
Alex

A simple array is not that simple :) I would have to make arrays for
all types of variables, and in your example, you use a 2d array...
even more complicated. String lists are not ideal, I agree, but I
don't have the time at present to tackle the array thingy.

Cheers,
Alex

No it's not, because you will miss the copyright notice and what's
worse, all installation instructions and new gimmincks. The correct
pages for downloading x1 are

http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgwhatsnew.html
if you want to know what's new and then download

http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgdl.html
if you want to download directly

Never use the x1.zip link, it's in your own benefit to go to the right

Yes, I mean exactly that. I'm getting sick and tired of people
changing the urls I post for download of the bot. Some don't mean it
badly, some do. I post the download page because I do not have the
means to protect my bot otherwise. The legitimate dl page has the
copyright and other necessary notices. If you don't like that, DONT
use my bot.

My bot is freeware, but not a laughing stock. I give a lot of my time
and old energy (I'm 53) to provide you ppl with this free software....
I might even start to rethink my policy :(

Bye.

The matter has been settled, maki and I had a talk about this. No, it
isn't funny to bypass honest instructions, even if there is no
sanction attached. Respect should be given without a need for pressure
from sanctions.

Enjoy the bot :)

For one thing, Justin, my bot is freeware. Your way of questioning and
demanding is quite annoying. Bug reports, or efforts to solve
dilemmas are welcome... but not quite the way you pose them. May I
say it roughly: if you don't like my bot, lump it! On the other hand,
if you think there are problems etc, you are welcome to contact me at
xelag at 3dee.nl in a gracious way, and, if I have time and the will to
do so, I will try and solve them.

Alex

PS: why does the bot... because I made it so... could be my answer to
your questions... I am not bound to serve you or anybody.

Dear Xelagot users,

As stated on my pages, bug reports (and suggestions) about Xelagots
are to be sent to my email address
xelag at 3dee.nl

Most people do that correctly, but some insist in following their own
ideas about how this should be done, even up to the point of writing
to me saying "Would it really have killed you to answer my questions
in the newsgroup so everyone would know where things are at?". It is
my privilege to decide on these matters. I have a certain degree of
tolerance for newbies and jounger people, who do not yet know their
way around, but very little tolerance otherwise. Every bug report or
suggestion makes me spend time, sometimes a considerable amount, to
handle it. I do this without charging expenses, but only according to
my own terms. I also expect politeness from users, even if I do not
garantee a successful handeling of all matters. But I do try to solve
bugs and other problems according to my capacity. And I do *not* enter
into long discussions about why I chose to receive reports only by
email.

I hope this makes these matters clear to all.

Cheers,
XelaG

Xelagot 3.306 is a maintenance update, and will be the last version in
the 3.3 series. For details and download, visit

http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgwhatsnew.html

Reminder: bug reports, suggestions and questions about the bot should
be addressed to xelag at 3dee.nl

Xelagot x1, av99bot and srvcXlgBot 3.307 available.

Propdump/propload fix: the new 3.3 propdump format changed the
encoding of hard-returns in the description and action strings. The
old 0x0D + 0x7F code was replaced by 0x80 + 0x7F. The 0x80 character
appears on screen as the new Euro symbol. This change was not
documented by ActiveWorlds. The new version of x1, av99 and srvcXlg
can read both encodings, and upload the project correctly. When saving
a 3.3 propdump to file, the new encoding is now used.

XelaG

http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgwhatsnew.html

3.4 beta testers please read the beta newsgroup.

Aug 21, 2002, 8:07pm

Xelagot x1 3.308 available.

Enhancement: when using an elevdump to rebuild your terrain,
non-existing terrain pages can now be added and modified by the bot
(altitude, etc), just like existing ones. This allows you, for
example, to change the altitude of a virgin terrain.

XelaG

http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgwhatsnew.html

PS: av99 and srvcXlg have not been modified, since this is a user
interface enhancement.

URGENT REQUEST TO UPGRADE XELAGOTS

A new version of Xelagot 3.309 fixes a bug I discovered today in the
property query code: if the bot's Object cache was used for querying
(surveying) property, old deleted objects would sometimes reappear in
the surveys and in backups. Due to this bug, some scripts could fail
to work at random moments. This is a serious bug, so please upgrade!

The functions affected are:

* verbal command queries
* all surveys made by querying with the Survey Manager if the cache
was used
* action script surveys with "QueryAt at a" that do not specify
"QueryUseCache OFF"
* action script "ProjectBackup" as from Xelagot version 3.3 (before
then, this function did not use the cache). This includes the world
backup scripts distributed with X1 (they are safe to use after
upgrading)

Not affected are:
* backups/propdumps made with the Survey Manager's "Backup" tool using
the iteration method
* "ProjectBackup" scripts used before Xelagots version 3.3

Note that this bug does not make you lose objects, but it will add
unnecesary objects and may cause the Object Inspector to squeak.

The web pages still mention the old version at the time of writing
this, but the downloadable files are the new version.

X1 3.309:
http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xlgwhatsnew.html

Av99/SrvcXlg 3.309:
http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xelagot_av99bot_dl.html

The beta 3.405 has also been updated with this fix.

My apologies if this bug has caused inconveniences,
XelaG

Nov 13, 2002, 7:58pm

All xelagots have been patched for a slow memory leak, please upgrade
your bot too:

Alex

Nov 25, 2002, 3:29am

LOL, Ananas.

The reason is quite simple:

I update the bot at random moments, when I have time or when I
discover a bug which needs inmediate attention.

There are tens of versions of x1 and other xelagots around, making a
separate patch for each (or one that covers all) is not practical.
Some people run several versions on their computer or servers, so you
see the mess of making this automatic upgrade system... Compare with
the aw browser: if you have missed a few upgrades, you have to
download several times patches... if I did that, you might want to
download 30 patches from version 2.999999 or so to the current one :)

Anyway, I don't have time for this, I prefer to dedicate the time I
have to enhance the Xelagot :)
