It is, but only when you log in.

Displayed VRT = Current Clock Time + (Uni Time Attribute - Clock Time at
Login)

VRT is correct at login, from there on it is treated as an offset.

Actually, 2 of them :O as to many others who develop things for AW, bots,
models etc. Grimm actually tried getting something to allow developers
access to the technology properly to use, but unfortunatly he left now.
Personally I can't think of a better setup for AWI unless they wanted to do
it, they lose no money (as they would not get people purchasing them anyway
just for such design, and the users dont make money) and AWI has the benefit
of having their user-base expanded by people attracted by higher quality
support products.

Good lucky getting past the localhost-only connection block.

Solserver = Purchased like a world, it is a 'universe' with a maximum of 1
world, but is paid for yearly and AWI has to host it for you.

Galaxy is 1 world, but once you have it, you have it.

thats about universe servers.

To effectivly run 'Active Worlds' (I dont mean as a user, I mean as a
distributor / server) you need 3 pieces of technology:

The universe server
- This is the very heart of an active worlds universe, it is where details
of each citizen and their attributes (passwords, email etc) is stored.
- The universe server also stores all the world licenses.
- The universe server is controled by whoever owns the 'root' citizenship,
this is citizen #1 in Active Worlds it is 'AWLD'
- When you purchase a universe server, you purchase one for a certain amount
of size that you can divide how you wish among the worlds you create
- You also purchase a maximum user count that can be in the universe at
once.
- The universe server we connect to for Active Worlds is infinate,
supporting as many worlds and users as the coding allows (65,0000)

The world server:
- The world server stores information about all of the objects, users and
attributes for all of the worlds that are running on it.
- World servers connect to the universe server and tell it which IP / Port
they are at
- When the world server connects to the universe, it checks the world being
connected has the right password.
- As far as the universe is concerned the world server is a node

The browser:
- The browser is what clients use to interact
- A client logs on and verifies his / her username and password by
connecting to the universe server.
- The universe server maintains the records of everyone in the universe, you
stay connected to it the entire time you are on Active Worlds.
- All telegrams / joins / your contact list etc are sent through the
universe server
- When you want to move to another world, you tell the universe server its
name and ask it to tell you the Host / Port of the World Server, and if it
knows that that world is connected to it (the universe) it will tell the
browser where to connect.
- The browser then connects to the world server, each world server can
support hundreds of worlds, you tell the world server which one you wish to
connect to when you first connect to it.

------------------------

There are 3 actual types of top level server (what I have described as
Universe Servers), they are:
- Universe Servers : Supports multiple worlds (Most expensive) and once you
have purchased it it stays yours, you have a perminant license to use it.
- Galaxy Servers: These are like universe servers, but you can only have 1
world running at a time on them.
- Solservers: These are like galaxy servers in only being able to run one
world, however, you pay for them yearly and AW Inc hosts them for you (you
dont get an option in this) and these are the cheapest.

-------------------------

Everything plugged into any of the type of universe server is different and
completly seperate from any other universe server, for example:

'Active Worlds' (The first universe) can be found on auth.activeworlds.com
port 5671
'Active Worlds Edu' (the educational uni) can be found on
edu.activeworlds.com port 5671

Each is a copy of the Universe Server, because they both run on port 5670 we
know they are on different machines.

If you connected 10 worlds to the active worlds universe, anyone in the
active worlds edu universe would not have a clue about them, because the 2
universes do not communicate.

Likewise, if you connected a browser to the awedu universe, it would be
nothing to do with users connected to the active worlds universe.

----------------------------

Important things to realise is that worlds and browsers just effectivly
connect to the universe server to give / recieve services from it such as
logging on. An active worlds environment is entirly based around a universe
server (regardless of its type, galaxy, solserver etc).

The final important note is, world servers / browsers / bots can only
connect to one universe at a time.

Hope that helps,

By the defenition of enum.. thats impossible.

AW_BOOL is not a function, neither is there any session targeting or calling
functions.

Also, if an enum isnt in an enum, it aint accepted, the arguments for the aw
functions are enums.

Just set the return type as AWT and do a replace on QUERY_STRING replacing _
