When you quote somebody, you usually also say who it's from.

Use a bot that tracks avatar sessions, when u have a object built it has a aw_object_session which will corespond to 1 of the avatars. Just track it like that, ive done it before, shouldent be too hard for someone to create a standalone bot like it :)

A bot like that would go crazy in a world like AlphaWorld.

The only obvious problem is that the SDK isn't usable on UNIX :/

People with build rights that have object select off can still right-click...

It doesn't--if you pay attention to the PW field, you'll notice there is a small delay between the PW field & the rest of the fields being filled in.

Perhaps the uniserver/SDK could be set to only allow bots to send 1 telegram every 2-3 seconds (but not for citizens)

[View Quote] >Is it possible to put the password in like a dll or something? AW Checks for the DLL and if no password has been entered than there is something in the dll instead of a blank dll. (so that you can't just delete the old one and create a new empty dll file)

This DLL could be replaced with an evil DLL that can trash your system. Bad idea.

This is a general wishlist for anything related to AW; Preston uses the AW SDK, thus it is related.

If it can be done to objects, it should also be able to do on avatars.

No, they still cost $20 for a 3 bot extension. (it actually helps to email the right people ;))

Try again.

These would either be 0 or NULL like Bowen suggested. The session number would exist because it was assigned by the universe.

[View Quote] >You can still run builds all the way back to version 3.2, build 402, in the main universe, and older builds in any universe that chooses to allow it, plus you can run them in stand-alone mode, but if you can't get ahold of them and don't have them already then you obviously can't run them at all. This is particularly a problem for serious beta testers who would like to be able to help track down exactly when and how some old bugs came into existance but have limited space in which to store back-up copies of old builds.

If you play around with the browser's upgrade.exe component, you can get older builds.

Feb 23, 2003, 5:24am

[View Quote] >Care to tell me how? I thought all you could get with that was the available upgrade patches.

This is how it's supposed to work, but I've done some testing of my own (as I discussed with you in telegram) and have found it harder to go backwards (due to how the index for objects.activeworlds.com/upgrade is blocked, and how I haven't tinkered with this in a long time).

These are the three parameters upgrade.exe expects:

1. objects.activeworlds.com
2. upgrade/kit<BUILD #>.rtp
3. aworld.exe

So this is what you might enter for Start->Run (change path as necessary...)

E:\AW31\Upgrade.exe objects.activeworlds.com upgrade/kit375.rtp aworld.exe

Putting 375 in for <BUILD #> bumps you up to AW 3.2 build 402. I attempted to go backwards by entering 300; what happened was, the upgrader didn't want to replace anything except the (2.2) splash screen. I guess AWI did more than just block the directory listing.

[View Quote] >Textures are jpg so passwording them is actually server side and has nothing to do with AW.

It's possible to add an attribute to specify an HTTP password for basic/digest authentication, or perhaps extend the 'object password' and then just add a checkbox with something like "Use object password for HTTP authentication".

[View Quote] >AW2? Just what would that be? A technologically enhanced AW?

AW2 would be a complete rewrite of the AW browser; which would make it technologically enhanced, yes.

Apr 21, 2003, 2:30am

I'm 100% right there with you in proposing a browser rewrite. It's becoming obvious now that the browser's current architecture is making future expansion very difficult; just look at what happened to the movement system. Of course, backwards compatability with AW1 would be very important as everybody transitions into AW2, but eventually AW1 will have to be dropped, as you proposed, after it's no longer fit to keep AW1 running.

[View Quote] >I am proposing that a new project to develope AW2 be explored which would require a complete rewrite of the browser from ground zero using the latest in technology and lack of backward compatibility. Requiring the most recent DirectX, CPU(P3 or better processor), video(Geforce2+/Radeon 9000+) and OS(Windows XP/2000)

>I am proposing that AW2 run along side AW1 and that AW1 not be dropped or abandoned until such time as AW people migrate from one system to the other in suffient numbers as to warrant abandoning it

>I would also propose that Contact lists be mutual between AW1 and AW2 as to not abandon communication between users in either system.

>I would further propose that if this topic is at all debated in this forum that a respected reader of these newsgroups be elected as secretary to keep track of the debate and list the proposals and ideas for AW2 in an up to date features/requirements list to be reposted and updated twice monthly or as required.

Mauz.info has the propdump format published; does anybody have anything similar for the elevdump format?

Haven't you ever been so concentrated with building that you get distracted by someone signing off in your Contacts, and then wonder [for a moment] "who just signed off? -_-"? It would be a handy option (for me, at least) to have a notification message in the Chat History window. This should be optional of course.

"Clickable" instances?

[View Quote] >Give a bot the ability to create an unlimited amount of visible, clickable instances. They would still belong to the same bot though, but this would give the ability to create games much more realistic -- without selling my soul to ENZO for a huge bot limit.

Jun 11, 2003, 7:06pm

Selecting 7+ objects only to blow it all away by an accidental click on terrain becomes infuriating after a while, especially when it happens every other time. There should be a way to "lock" the Object Properties dialog so that it doesn't close on any kind of click until either the window is closed through the "X" or by unlocking.
