[View Quote] That works for me... one problem down, about 60 more to go.

This new executable protector drops a second executable temp file though
(which is bad), and sooner or later DEP (data execution prevention) is going
to come into play...

To be frank JP, theres very little point encrypting all this stuff except to
give yourselves more problems, the EXE has to be unpacked somewhere before
it can be run, at which point anyone that got a grade C or above in script
kiddie class will just dump the in-memory image.

At most all I feel the need to do is UPX my EXE to make them a bit smaller,
although I rarely do that either... Theres so many tools about to pick
appart these protection schemes automatically its a bad time investment, the
gains are practically non-existant compared to the hassle of crashes like
these, and actually having to encrypt the things before you want to send
them out.

As I spend a fair while on security related newsgroups, I see a lot of
people come up with imaginative solutions to protect data and the likes, and
in the end they usually come back saying how much of a waste of time it is.

The rotation of your avatar continues for almost 3/4 of a second after you
have released the key, this makes me feel worse than trying to play AWTeen
paintball after downing 30 shots of smirnoff.

Hi,

Yes, the browser may decide that:

for (size_t i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
double x = sin(cos(sin(cos(i*i))));

Is a good thing to do inside the message loop, I on the other hand don't...

I have converted Eclipse Evolution to 4.1, unfortunately I have had to rip a
significant part out of it because some absolute idiot decided to put a
logic bomb in the SDK when a debugger was detected (As any programmer will
tell you, this is STUPID) leaving me unable to test them, so they arnt
enabled for stabilitys sake.

That said, I have put 2 files online:

For existing Evo users you can download:

www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/downloads/evo41_265.zip

This contains a 4.1 SDK, an updated bot, and updated universe list. You
simply unzip the files into the same folder as your 3.6 evo, over-writing as
necessary.

For those of you whom have never used Evo before... There is a full 4.1
'first time' download:

http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/downloads/evo41_257_full.zip

Which will get you set up using the latest version.

Should you want to know what commands are and are not available, I put the
dispatch table up at http://www.pastecode.com/316 the bit after the
IMPL_FUNCTION is the command, if that command line is green, it aint
available.


~~~~

The eject systems now work, as does the main database and greetings...
HOWEVER.

Due to the logic bomb inside the SDK, I cannot properly system test this
bot, so you must remember you are *using it absolutey at your own risk*

</rant>

That said, its still a pretty nice bot if I may say so myself.

[View Quote] Although it took me 2 hours instead of 120 seconds, I have identified a bug
that will cause a crash in the teleport command. This only effects the
verbal command (requires: core/move rights).

I will hopefully be releasing a patch tomorrow with this bug fixed, along
with the following commands re-enabled:

- goto
- world/about
- world/info
- avset
- setstate
- sys/quit
- sys/reconnect
- sys/rciss
- sys/sciss
- burst
- ssnd

The reports/tactical command has been switched to administrator only with a
set of flags that control if each part is displayed, the rot (redirect
output target) command now includes a title header.

It should be out tomorrow, just warning you about the teleport bug really.
Im not aware of any other crash bugs.

A current working directory is the folder a program executes from...

If you launch an application are in a folder called c:\pie\

Now, if an application tries to open the file 'chat.txt' using only that
name when it tries to open it... it will actually add it on to the end of
the current working directory, giving you:

c:\pie\chat.txt

The current working directory is usually set to where you launch a shortcut
from (I think).

Hence, in this case the current working directory (Temp folder??) is your
desktop.

Its a function used to find out the actual folder the EXE itself is stored

Or, you can use Eclipse Evo's zone files which I have yet to actually get

I have been doing a little bit of copying over; having both 3.6 and 4.1
browsers and using a macro to copy and paste my contacts list from in 3.6 to
in 4.1 a contact at a time.

I noticed that while doing this, seemingly at random, the entire tabs
dissapear, leaving the tabs window completely empty, not even the tabs
header remains.

When saving a config from particle emitters etc, or using the object type
box, the object thinks it has changed even though the user has not changed
anything.

Should be something on Beta NG from this where we studied it last year.

The object dialogs still fully rebuild each time, even if the object type is
the same or even if you click on the same object again.

Can I suggest (as a coder, to whomever is listening) that each layout is
stored on a dialog frame, and they are switched between rather than doing
the delete / rebuild / repaint nuke style.

Long avatar lists are no longer split into multiple menus side by side (no,
not the tree) resulting in having to scroll (at a very slow rate) through to
get to the end of the list.

Can be fixed by individual OP managers, would be easier for all concerned if
the browser were smart enough to pop them side by side so they fit.

Velocity sticks when moving quickly, then selecting an object.

The velocity indicator shows you at your last velocity rather than update to
zero.

The toolbar at the top of the object properties dialog is clipped, and cuts
off a button half way, presumably there are other missing buttons.

The browser *still* does not recognise the double click message as 2
seperate clicks, this makes playing the piano etc very annoying.

I reported this half a year ago, it really needs fixing!
