What the hell? It'd be easy to write a program that modifies those files in
vb or c++ or any lang down to basic. What is that guy smokin? Yaw calculations?Feb 28, 2000, 3:05am
Alright, my bot moves from point A to point B fine. The problem is it
sometimes does it backwards, sideways, etc. I need to find an equation which calculates yaw based on a given set of two points, the bot's current X/Z and it's target X/Z thanks for your help. -RecilS Yaw calculations?Feb 29, 2000, 3:43am
Oh thats great dude, thanks for the math.
I'm assuming I plug in the tangent of the triangle fo arctan. I'll have to put that function into vb but that'll take like 2secs.Thats really cool, now my blimps and such wont try to do the moonwalk and impress everyone. BTW here is what my bot is being designed to do - Basics : o Basic AI functions (Not too cheezy, just small talk, weather, etc) o Land reservation (Covers any ammount of land with any object quickly) : Done o Random motion including motion patterns o Music o Building repetition patterns. Need a 10000ft spiral staircase? Np Cool Stuff : o Advanced building AI. I am in the process of 'teaching' the bot to understand architecture including the concepts of walls, flooring, ceilings, entrance passages 'decoration', road access, location, etc. This will allow the bot to create entire citys or world in minutes. o Shadowing (Will create 'shadow' by moving a translucent box as the person moves to give the impression of darkness) o Hindenberg scenario : Blimp flys around randomly, every once in a while crashes in flames. (Really cool =) If you'd like to know more, talk to me on this news server. (Im also at 755S 1515W AW and a part owner of AtomicF world) [View Quote] Top 10 wishes for aw3Feb 29, 2000, 4:21am
Id like to see some diff stuff. I havent really read the docs yet tho
1. More advanced download queues/priorities (incl. background DLing of common models when idle) 2. SHADOWING - This'll be done by DX 3. Models with moving parts Compact Action Field Format...Mar 1, 2000, 3:01am
I don't know what header format AW uses to send data of this nature, but
using abreviations might involve the need for longer headers to distinguish data. Also, the 'no spaces' idea is going to be very hard to implement. For instance, how does the browser know to interpret at100N50S as two distinct commands and then arguments instead of trying to interpret it as one command (the unabreviated substitute)? True it could look for an action with no spaces, but then what happens when someone decides to use a space after the first command and none after the second? It's a great idea, I'm just trying to shine light on some of the logistics. [View Quote] MP3 SupportMar 1, 2000, 2:51am

I, in fact, propose that we reduce the avatar count to about five. They
could be Michael Jackson through his various phases of 'development'. This could explain any and all interesting or seemingly odd movements/actions. Just a thought..... [View Quote] Re: Nice feature to add to future versions.Feb 29, 2000, 4:18am
Orator is an english word, no longer latin (although the same word and
oratio[speech] appeared in their lang), and yeah, PK is wierd. I remember bein like scared of em when I came in because I'd played Diablo too much ;) I remember bein afraid they'd delete my house or something. [View Quote] Any idea about these features?Feb 29, 2000, 4:24am
Id like to see some diff stuff. I havent really read the docs yet tho so
this may be in the works What about..... 1. More advanced download queues/priorities (incl. background DLing of common models when idle) 2. SHADOWING - This'll be done by DX Im sure 3. Models with moving parts 4. Group clone/move/altering (You cant alter most object data as a group w/out a bot) 5. Other things ;) |
