Hi all,

I would like to announce that the latest release of Eclipse Evolution
(246b - evo-v246b-sdk.c36.rc3) which is, you guessed it, an advanced Release
Candidate, i.e. it works well.

You can download Eclipse Evolution at
http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/software/evolution/helper.php?page=download,
the bot requires Windows XP or 2003 Server.

This is the final release (short of identifying any major issues) before
moving on to add major new capabilities and closed testing (such as queries,
terrain yarda yarda).

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact myself.

I could blow a badly programmed C++ tool out the water with VB.

VB has many other advantages too, the problem is that a *lot* of its
programmers are n00bs so it got a bad reputation. The main problem VB has is
its lack of advanced OO and WinProc handling.

Uh.... You really have no idea. Things like AW take *hundreds of thousands*
or even *millions* of LOC to write. At last count Evo was 35,000 and if you
include the heavy heavy use of multiline macros that pushes it up to about
40,000.

When you have 7 or 8 thousand hours of coding experience behind you. Then
you can challenge me. Infact what the hell.

I challenge you, produce your own version, C++, everything, Dynamic rights
system, multimode attributes editing, 100+ commands, god knows how many
reports, the back end database interface, the XML communication standards,
the profile management system, the advanced logging capabilities, the
context sensing menus, the graphical display interfaces, the compressable
GUI.

Oh, and more than 2 { or } on a line does not count.

See you in 10 years and 80,000 - 10,000 lines of code because I can
guarentee you cannot code as pure as I can.

A question, have I neglected to add any? At this point I am only looking for
commercial (or linked) 'companies' to add, such as modelling providers,
hosting services, bot designers and so forth.

At the moment im just after a short description, contact and owner info, a

Greekings!

Over the past few weeks I have been working hard to produce a site combining
masses of information about Active Worlds including:

o Help Files w/ user comments
o Personal Profiles
o Blogs
o Quizzes
o Regular News
o Company Listings
o Much More

I am glad to say that it is progressing well, we now have regular news,
company listings, profiles and quizzes, among other things - so if you want
to participate (which I hope you all do) now is a good time to sign up (for
free!) and register your name.

You will notice Google Adsense placed upon the site; hopefully as the site
grows and people click on the ads, in addition to covering server costs, the
revenues from this will help provide the funding to reward the the monthly
top contributor(s) as I will be offering 1 month citizenship extensions to
people who put in the most effort - Its in your benefit to participate!

The site is being updated with new features, next on the to-do list is to
resurect an old mainstay, a community register.

In the mean time, you can all register at
http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/sites/u2i/?pid=signup (those with shared
teleport list users can log in with these without the need to sign up
again - http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/sites/u2i/?pid=login).

You can also check out the news
http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/sites/u2i/?pid=news_main containing
interviews such as:

o Rossyfox,
http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/sites/u2i/?pid=news&article=9
o DMC2U, http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/sites/u2i/?pid=news&article=18
o Syntax http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/sites/u2i/?pid=news&article=12

The help sections such as the 'CT Guide' provide content in a standard
format suitable for different groups,
http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/sites/u2i/?pid=aw_help&topic_id=.ctguide.

As with the entire help system, users are welcome to provide their own
examples by posting 'notes' at the bottom of each help page as on
http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/sites/u2i/?pid=aw_help&topic_id=building_cmds_Media.

I hope to make the AW Portal the hub of Active Worlds in 2D, and by the
technology employed such as RSS and lots of user defined content, I hope
that the site will help to promote AW by reaching into areas such as Google
News.

Enter the portal now:
http://www.temporal-solutions.co.uk/sites/u2i/?pid=home

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Follow-Up has been set to the community newsgroup to stop Andras physically
harming me! :O

If you post a reply please check for it in the community newsgroup.

[View Quote] Its a complex task, such systems take quite a while to develop.

Basically, you have the bot read from the same database as the web
application, updating as necessary (ie: no caching) and therefore you get
good cohesion.

Please be aware that Eclipse Evolution has now been upgraded with 256a
release.

You can download the program here:

For users that have never used Eclipse Before, now would be a good time to
get to know the program as there should not be any major manual upgrades for
a long time.

Hi all,

To my mild embaressment, due to a little thing called sleep depravation, Evo
is messed up!

Its offensive (eject based) systems should be considered non-usable, infact,
using them makes the bot crash! Yay!!!

I've been working upto 18 hours a day since to restructure the bot code and
fix the bugs, but uh, its gonna take me a few days yet...

Sorry guys =\

You can download Eclipse Evo for 4.1 at

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

Simply over-write your 3.6 evo install with those files from this zip.

WARNING: THIS SOFTWARE CONTAINS A LOGIC BOMB IMPOSED BY THE SDK MEANING IT
IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DEBUG THIS APPLICATION.

THIS SOFTWARE MAY BE *HIGHLY* UNSTABLE AND THERE IS NOT A DAMNED THING I CAN
DO ABOUT IT.

In short, use at your own risk, and whichever idiot massacred the SDK should
be shot.

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.

Hi,

In between driving around chair movers in demo worlds and screwing with E N
Z O's camera I have managed to come up with the start of Eclipse Evo's
documentation, now hosted on awportals.com

Until I make a better front page, you can find the documentation at:
http://www.awportals.com/eclipse/docs/verbal/basics_1.php

At present there are details of 25 of the main verbal commands, plus
explenations of some of the security features and the new scripting
capabilities for the next build. I plan on spending the next few days on
writing documentation, so there should be even more up soon :o)
