There seems to be a huge delay in some instances with global mode and
bots recieving the events. Sometimes they're not even captured at all..
I know XelaG has said something about this but I'm wondering what the
status on getting this fixed is, that's just horrible with a 5 minute
delay sometimes.

[View Quote] It's mostly the chat events that are causing problems, but it could be
due to another bot in global mode recieving them (it was getting them,
and they were delayed), but my bot was not getting a lot of them it was
getting.

Mar 13, 2004, 6:28pm

[View Quote] Okay, I seem to have fixed the part about not getting the events (bad
programming on my part), but there is sometimes a significant delay
between actually getting them and when they were transmitted.

[View Quote] Been a long long time since I've checked the SDK documents. Mainly for
the poor documentation -- which never seems to get much better. I did
check recently and I must've skimmed right over that.

happens when you get it?

[View Quote] Hmm, I don't think it'd have to do with world attributes. Try
commenting out some code and see if you can isolate what's doing it.

QBASIC? Wow that's something I haven't heard since.. 1993.. you need to be
very good with math and logic to do C/C++.. BASIC is way too limited for
what you need to do. True the first games were made with it but the SDK
doesn't work with it :) except VB. Pick up PHP then progress to C++.. that
should be easy since PHP is based on C :) hope that helps kinda or not,
whatever.. too tired

LoL I posted this a while before you posted your new one :) but Qbasic was
the first language I learned.. a while ago I made an old final fantasy kinda
game but it was .. weird.. it was in text form gotta love those :)

I think you might be able to incorporate DLL's into qbasic.. it's been so
long. I don't remember how but you can do it in basic so why not qbasic? :)
look for the syntax for that.

ok I'm looking here : http://www.qbasic.com/chapter4.txt and it does seem
you can include files into qbasic.. or open them rather.. there's a slight
chance if you investigate further you can do it.. but this may not be the
best way to do it qbasic isn't very visual :)

Yeah, Ananas and I were talking about it.. since qbasic is a dos program
(which might not run DLL files.. but it can run some sort of library file)
it would take a lot of time to work something out (you can run it in
windows) but it would be a very odd bot if anything.. I agree pick up VB or
Basic itself.. they'd probably get the job done faster and better.

LoL Yes, WindowsXP shows just how bad windows really is. They just want to
spy on you.. that's what all this new crud they put in is for. MSVC++ is
not a good compiler.. use borland, watcom, dev-C++, or anything that Isn't
made by Microsoft, there's always other options.. and 9/10 they're less
expensive then any Microsoft product will ever be :).

Because anything developed in it is tagged by microsoft. Microsoft does a
lot you don't know about. There's been a couple of things I've seen that've
crashed and said "Thank you for using Microsoft Visual C++". Now I don't
think the creator of that would've liked microsoft to advertise a product
inside their own, do you? (not putting something in the compiled exe, but
more along the lines of an actual window that pops up before it crashed and
only when it crashed, no other time) It's not legal, so much as microsoft
has ever done that's legal.. just finding the loop-holes so they don't look
bad. I would recommend you look at a site but it's domain name isn't PG so
I can't post it here. I can give you one that points to it that's not R in
language, but it's still on the site.. it has some pretty informative stuff
about microsoft. I hope that was good enough? I'm tired of pointing out
Microsoft's blunders and faults and all the other crud that they've done
wrong.

I'm using this product because I'm hosting worlds and if I hosted it in Unix
as of this moment I'd HAVE to have access to a windows administration so I
thought I'd save myself some trouble.. oh yeah, they do add windows.. The
game Pax Imperia 2 has that "Thank you for using Microsoft Visual C++" after
it crashes. I have linux installed. This is faster for me anyways. Oh by
the way, XP is forcing users to do things in order to use it.. ie
registering to use it.. you only get 12 free "major" system changes before
you need to pay to use it again. I'm not going to get into another long
debate when I already have on this particular topic. I'm sure it's still on
the newsgroup someplace if you look for it. *community or general
discussion* I'm e-mailing you the site now.

Student ID's are applicable to anything.. you don't even need a teacher
edition. I can get the professional edition of Borland which is $400 for
$99. Compare that with a microsoft product. A good majority of the
compilers I've seen offer debuggers, so that's nothing major. I didn't say
there was any problems.. things that microsoft has done is just not
acceptable anymore. For example, the use of a "registering" policy to user
their products for at most 12 extreme system changes (which includes formats
/ partitioning / etc al.). Help is not an issue either.. all compilers
offer help files, even more then Microsoft does (ie you don't need to look
around a webpage for your answer). And if you don't know microsoft made
*MS*VC++ and Windows.. there's some problems ;). I also never said their
programs are illegal.. I said some of their practices are. Have you ever
been required to send in cards to use your refrigerator after 12 weeks?
Same deal with XP and "XP" addons such as Office XP. And yes, before
another flame war is started, you do need to register to use any "XP"
products and the license agreement states, in a nut shell, that you may only
user their software through 12 extreeme system changes.. or at the
discression of a microsoft employee if they believe the software is a warez
version. So if they think you're using an illegal copy.. they don't have to
agree to let you use it anymore and cancel it on you :). Sorry I responded
in reverse.. I'm exhausted.

I don't need to prove my views, there's plenty of "crap" on the internet is
true, and if you don't believe me go to www.windows-sucks.com . If you
don't want to believe anything I say, that's your problem not mine. Be
aware that the site does contain a bad word in the title. Maybe if you'd
actually read other articles rather than the "pro-MS" ones, since they ARE
payed off by microsoft employees, you'd be aware of the inherent evil that
Microsoft is. Do you think they're going to tell you they're putting code
in? no that's microsoft. They're a monopoly they don't need to follow
rules. And before you say they do, they don't. That's why they've jumped
into the console development. They've already told a lie ahead of time "our
console outsold any previous console to date, but we won't release the exact
number of sales." I'm done arguing a point that's so blantently obvious.
Windows is the wrong platform.. if you want to do just internet
applications, Unix solves that just fine.. desktop version? there's linux.
Graphics development? Macintosh.. the good majority of games are being
ported to Macintosh OS X which means that they are compatible on some level
with linux. There's all 3 of known system types, Internet applications,
Gaming applications, and Graphic applications. Obvious enough yet?

LoL glad someone isn't blind to the facts.. and before you say that windows
is awesome.. perhaps you should use something like Linux, or a macintosh..
I've made that decision based on fact from my experiences with both Linux
and Windows. Windows seems to give errors and crashes a lot, bsod, etc
etc.. while linux will only do it on a VERY rare circumstance. If you're
looking for stabability.. linux and other unix clones is the way to go.. say
you want to be a game or graphics person.. macintosh leads that department
even unix is better then windows (WINE will run the majority of windows
games all others should be mac compatible).. Windows isn't anything to be
hurrahed about anymore.

You obviously haven't used anything besides windows, I told you this site is
based soley on fact.. the person there is a computer science expert. He's
been around longer then you have, and has been around computers then you
have. I'm using Windows now because I can't run the server in linux without
having a windows admin tool.. which I can't get access to a windows computer
otherwise. Have you even read the site, or tried to look at the info? no
didn't think so, it's all based on fact. And no Microsoft doesn't have to
follow the rules, they've broken so many anti-trust laws it's not even
funny.. OEM payoffs, charging companys for every computer they make.. etc
al. Microsoft does pay off companies to write good reviews for them.. See
the new XP commercial? No where on it does it say "Windows XP will not allow
you to fly" so they're making people belive XP allows them to fly ;).
Perhaps you should read and try linux, macs, BSD before you say microsoft is
the best. Any program in windows has a counterpart in *nix or macs, most
games are compatible in Macintosh.. and all the games that aren't are WINE
compatible. Even try to do that yet? nope, good job. As xelnaga said after
I asked why don't people realize what bad things microsoft does "Do babies
realize how bad formula milk is for them?" Good stuff Xel. I'm done with
this now.. don't reply.. but even that's futile since there's a 99% chance
you won't listen. Sorry I had to rant yet again.
