It was never intended to exist...

Botgrams were origionally designed to invite a user to enter the universe at
another persons location, without them needing to have AW open to recieve
it, only the bot invite.exe. This feature was intended for a different
universe.

The general idea is to send from one citizenship to another, not from one
session to another.

While I agree that one to one session methods would be absolutly brilliant,
this is not what the feature was designed for.

'Invite' as it first existed was a seperate application, 'invite.exe' which
was installed with the alpha browsers that I still have kicking about
somewhere. When you invited someone to join you who was not in-world the
universe server would send a botgram with a specific type (hence the type
id) to identify who sent it, and their coordinates. Hence allowing the user
to join them even if they did not have the browser open to recieve the join.

In alpha browsers you do not launch aworld.exe... you launch invite.exe...
which logs in then launches aworld.exe... if you get what i mean... uh....

Invite was later integrated directly into the browser as origionally
planned, however invite.exe still works to request you join people elsewhere
in the universe that requested the feature in the first place as far as i
know.

Its hardly spying... but it is a lot more fun when certain hackers (we are
all probably thinking of the same person) releases new information and
various tools get released that have all the fun stuff in... (like the rest

I, personally, am going to flip if the programmers don't get the C++ and VB
3.6 SDK's released pronto... I know theyre busy buy cmon guys this is beyond
a joke. Your not the only people who have programming interests in Active
Worlds, think about it, theres more of us than there are of you so it makes
sense that applications will be developed far more rapidly than the browser,
but to do that and give AW some cutting edge bots to use we need the latest
SDK so when you do catch up to the SDK coders ideas with the browsers were
ready.

This is an absolute b*****d of a bugfinder if you dont know what your after.

the avatar pitch is only displayed when AW_MY_STATE is set to FLY (2), the
default is Walk (1) hence it will not show up. Use the following:

void refresh( void ){
aw_int_set (AW_MY_X, X);
aw_int_set (AW_MY_Z, Z);
aw_int_set (AW_MY_Y, Y);
aw_int_set (AW_MY_YAW, YAW);
aw_int_set (AW_MY_PITCH, pitch);
aw_int_set (AW_MY_GESTURE, gest);
aw_int_set (AW_MY_STATE, 2);
aw_state_change();
}

Hey Folks,

Does anyone know if there is a standard on the format for the monthly /
yearly citizenship costs in the SDK / Universe? Ive noticed when I've been
playing with Eclipse's Uni report that in some situations the uniserver
gives a $ / £ figure before, and sometimes it does not (ie: AW).

Does anyone know what this is MEANT to be? I am guessing logic would say its
meant to have a currency unit so different countries can use it but I need
to decide if I should throw in a $ into the formatting of the report...

Ideas, anyone?

- Mark
Yes I've thought of only including it if no other currency symbols are
present

Its bloody annoying, I think its rather strange
When I try to interpret, these currencies you sendd
And that I still need to use val( ) despite all that ive done
Yet wont compile for meeeee

All you will see is Buffer overflow,
Although masked in ASM
Which of course is rather poo
I think the coders should sue!

I dont have to accept standards, my codes dont av' to change
I couldent spend my entire life based on feeeel

Looking in the IDE, looking for the bug
So I chose a breakpointtt

Running around trying watches now
But nothing works at alll

Id never expeect a sodding format,
id never expect at all...

....


I feel like cryin' cause of argentina
The truth is your a painnn in the asss
All though these dark days,
of sodding coding...
You make my life harddd
So commas keep your distanceeee

Have I ranted to much? Theres nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is change your 'global options'
and get rid of your formatting pooooooooooo

...

So DONT CRY FOR ME MR. CODER!
The TRUTH is im HERE TO HAUNT YOU
Though EVERY PROJECT
In YOUR EXISTANCE
I'll make your code screeeewed

As a wise coder once told me, he was shouded in fame
make your programs compatable, or hang your head in shame
Other people may seem like illusions
But those illusions you will see
Dont pay your bloody wages
So they might as well go go away...

So they might as well go awayy...

Of course as far as maths goes... there is a reason we use the decemal point
in uh... the decimal system...

However thats not the only reason: the comma is the matrix array denoter
seperating 2 or more items in a linear matrix such as (1, 2, 3) which of
course could be used to represent 3D coordinates...

As for the space as a thousand delim, I always thought that was shere
madness to include whitespaces in a single entity... a , you can just do a
string replace on and delete the ","... but with a " " you dont even know
where to begin parsing the number unless you spend absolutly ages trying to
create inventive ways to tell where one thing ends and another thing
starts...

I can just about live with non-iso english... but I prefer this:

3,400,227.87 at least for when I am actually doing math...

Damn the ISO! Noone wants you anyway and everyone should use DD/MM/YY[YY]
for dates or even better:
DDD DD MMM, YY[YY] (see, matrices delimiter seperating 2 entities).

Anyway... moving onto more interesting things... we have 1000 seperators in
decimal... what are the equivilents in hex? hehe

Use the C sdk documentation: www.activeworlds.com/sdk/, its cleaner.

I even go as far as to have aw_int, aw_int_set, aw_string etc defined as
global functions, just like in C.

That way no silly property malarva.

Good whatever-it-is,

It seems that we are lacking a major portion of the botgram functionality
with the botgram type attribute. I am wondering if we could somehow create
our own version of it by thinking up some kind of protocol or header for
each message so that we know what is what, something that takes as little
space as possible out of the 512 chars?

The reason I ask is I intend to be sending a lot of information through
botgrams, of course if every other bot recives every message screens are
going to very rapidly will get flooded compared to some of the messages
which users will wish to read etc.

Now considering we are lacking the type attribute, it seems sensable to use
several bytes at the start of the message, presuming we don't go insane 2
logical bytes should be enough, so xxxx as hex maximum? That way we can have
different 'types' for different purposes allowing bots to deal with them
appropriatly...

For example if I wanted to send a message for the user to read in every bot.

0 - Display on all
1 - Display on bot with name
2 - Bot-Only Broadcast to all
3 - Bot-Only Broadcast to bot with name
4 - Status Requester
5 - Arrival Register
6 - Depart Register

So for example a general message to everyone could be:
"0#This is my message"

A message to a specific bot:
"0#[?Some Bot]#Hello this is my message"
Could be identified via name, session etc (if registered).

Bot-Only would be the same as above, but not direcly displayed to the
user...

Status requester would be this:
4#get#<session>
Responded to by bots as
4#return#<session>#Eclipse Nightwing 3.6.93#awteen#2750s 0w

Arrival Register would be much the same, but no request:
5#Eclipse Nightwing 3.6.93#<any other info>
This would be for CT's for example, so each bot has to log in.

Exit Register:
6#<session>

We could designate the rest of the 36,000 registers as we need them, someone
just needs to keep a tab on all of them.

I think its worth a try at least, so our bots don't get flooded by other
bots comm traffic.

- Mark R

Aug 7, 2004, 9:12pm

Of course if the Universe Server let us have access to the botgram type
attribute we could impliment any number of systems, for example we could
just put any comm traffic like this is channel 1. Keep channel 0 open for
normal bot traffic.

Hi Everyone,

Would anyone be able to post a list of the different (constantly changing)
attributes for the different SDK builds for what resolves to what, such as
World Ratings, Object Limits etc, and what they appertain to? I admit that I
have no idea what these have been in the last few builds and I am hoping
someone has been keeping a closer eye on them than I.

- MR

Make sure you unregister the AwSdk2 or its globals will take presidence, you
should only *ever* have 1 version of the sdk on a bot at once, the
alternative is using HUGE enum callers.

Recently, I have had problems with the SDK, has anyone else experienced any
of the following problems?

The following is an extract from the Eclipse database while it was running
somewhere, the database creates a record on enter, sets its privilege etc as
it recieves them, and finally sets the exit information on exiting.

Yet for some reason, event ID's 422 and 423 show the same user, including
session entering twice. If it were a disconnect it would show a new session
#, but this looks like its basically sending the information twice almost 10
seconds appart, not good.

The bot has world disconnect handling installed, and the system log shows
nothing out of the ordinary for this time, does anyone have any idea why or
how this could happen?

--

Secondly, while experiencing a universe disconnection I did not recieve the
disconnect connection-lost message once (like I did on the copy of Eclipse
Nightwing running) but on Evo I recieved it constantly, at 1 second
intervals (Evo aw_wait frequency = 0.2 seconds).

To date I have no idea what could have caused these. I have added margin
code to ensure the uni message only displays when recovering, but any ideas
as to why this happens would be appreciated, im lost on this one.
