Yes, but due to the fact that your using VB, and console messaging only the
people near the bot is out of your grasp.

[View Quote] I will test you for the project, then we will see what we can do about a
world. Then the fun begins.. from scratch, we will make the best RPG bot
ever seen on AW.
Please do not join if you plan to quit.

PS- check out the november newsletter coming soon to see my bot of the month
article!

It needs to say something, unless you want to enable "view all avatars" or
whatever in 3.4. Have it whisper a welcome message or say something at
random intervals. Other than that, nothing can be done :).

The SDK sends an event mask to the world server when connected, the world
server in turn only sends the events that the mask specifies.

When you set events, the mask is generated, and when you connect to the
world server, the mask is sent... That's why if one tries to set events
during an open connection to the world server, they will not trigger.

Nah :). You're forgetting that you cant change events on the fly. When you
set an event, it doesn't matter if you change it to another handler, its
still set. Also, if you set it to NULL, the sdk will still get it, but not
pass the data on to anything else. So, lets say you have 3 events set, then
if one event triggers, it sets 2 other new events. 3 events are set when it
connects, correct? Wrong, all five are sent in the mask.

Nah, you're forgetting that the program can look ahead into itself, and
check what events are set, whenever. The SDK would send a mask for all five
of the events.

Gah, I feel silly now. Just looked through the protocol documentation.
Setting an event mask is its own packet. I saw somewhere, where it was sent
with the login packet, but, I was wrong. Its sent right after the login
packet, along with a state change packet. The browser only sends one mask
setting packet (0x018f), to receive all events, so that's all I've delt
with.

There's six bytes of overhead in a aw_whisper message. So, considering \n
is two bytes, we can say that 4 bytes * number of lines that are being sent
is saved ;). But, we also have the limitation of maximum message size and
all that to take into account too :O.

Your bot seems to be written in some lame programming language that isn't a
programming language at all. Perhaps you should, write it in a real one?

Ok, so... I know every windows version (save windows 1.0), unix, Linux,
Solaris, OS X.... I know VB, and C/C++, enough assembly to get me through
some tight spots, PHP, XBox API... and a lot more... So, now what do I
learn? It seems I've already met and exceeded your "quota" to diss on VB.
Also, I've read plenty of job listings.

So, I say I'm fully qualified to say that VB is a horrible programming
language. Not only do you need runtime DLLs to run the most basic code, but
its really not programming at all, only scripting. You can do a lot more
with C, its more portable, and it also does require 9 million runtime dlls
that bloat up your system.

Sure, it might be *easy*, but sometimes the easy way, isn't the best way to
do things. Compare a basic C application with a VB one, both do the exact
same thing. You'll find that VB wastes like, 400 - 900KB on god knows what.
I will admit, I've used VB for a few simple programs when I don't want to
mess with Winsock and windows in C, but all of those programs sucked. All I
can say is: been there, done that, hated it.

Seriously... learn C for Christ's sake.

I learned programming with a tin can, $.35, and one of those adapters that
allows you to plug in larger old skewl headphones into the smaller more
conventional plug... I had to consume the $.35, then attempt to put the can
on my head while singing "I want to marry a light house keeper", and
stabbing at random things in the dark. I might have been drunk, I cant
remember.

Uh, perhaps you should do a little more research... There *is* an SDK for
java, at least there was a version ago, I see no reason why it wouldn't be
updated.

The "heartbeats" are only send after a full minute has elapsed since the
last message was sent to the server, timeout is two minutes, so if the
client misses two from the server, or visa-versa, and the socket is still
open, the connection is dropped. All of the SDKs protocol handling and
whatnot is called whenever any function is called, or aw_wait is called. By
putting aw_wait in a loop, eg:

while (aw_wait(-1))
;

You update everything correctly, events are called -on time-, etc. If you
wait 16 to 32 seconds before calling another aw_wait, and don't call any
other functions in the meantime, all events are ~16 to 32 seconds old by the
time you get them... Not a good coding practice. But, in order for a
heartbeat to be sent after the 60 seconds, you'll need to call an aw_wait;
so just put it in a never-ending loop at get it done with.

-Joe

No, I didn't, because they really don't have anything to do with eachother.
Aw_wait is just a convient way of moving and processing traffic. The
heartbeat *will* be sent by Aw_wait if a minute has elapsed... But, that's
it...

Well then, I object to the p-20 world. You don't need any land in a world
to test a bot, really. Also, chances are, you got the version of the 3.1
server that wasn't properly "cracked", and is riddled with virii and Trojans
as far as the eye can see. I also wouldn't be surprised if one out 20
people had this nasty piece of software that's been passed around more then
nobody's business. There are other "brilliant" and *legal* ways to develop
bots, such as logging into a uniserver and testing your code. Mine, well,
lets see there, this is a goose of a different color my friend.
