Hello all

I am using MrGrimm OCX (Thanks !) to make a bot to extend chat range
in my world. I am a somewhat experienced VB programmer but am an AWSDK
novice. I would appreciate any help and thanks in advance !

I am instantizing 3 bots (which works fine) using this code for each :

*************

sdk.AwInit AW_BUILD
sdk.AwCreate Universe, Port
sdk.EnableDefaultEvents
sdk.AwLoginApplication = Application
sdk.AwLoginOwner = Cit
sdk.AwLoginPrivilegePassword = Pass
sdk.AwLoginName = BotName1

***************

I am also calling a timer for each bot :

timAwWait1.Interval = 1000
timAwWait1.Enabled = True

**************

In the timer sub (1 for each of the 3 instances) I am using (latest
itteration) :

Private Sub timAwWait1_Timer()

sdk.AwWait 0
sdk.AwEventSet AW_EVENT_CHAT
sdk.AwStateChange

End Sub

**************

What happens is when bot1 logs in, it receives chat events but when
bot2 logs in, bot2 receives the events and bot1 loses them. Same when
bot3 logs in ... both bot1 and bot2 have lost events.

I have looked everywhere to try to resolve this (including hours of
scanning this newsgroup) and just cant find it.

Any help would be most appreciated :-)

Best as always

Hi Joe

I don't know ... I have tried everything I can think of ( I first had
just one event set and state change on form load and that did not work
so I got desperate I guess :) The joys of being a newbie !

Also each instance has a different number ... timer1 is bot 1 and
timer2 is bot 2 etc

Thanks
Taco

Hello all !

Thanks so very much Grimble for your assistance !

While I was unable to get mutiple OCX to work on a single form ...
that was the clue I needed so badly!

What I ended up doing was making MDI child pages and placing the AW
wrapper OCX on each form.

I would have liked to do this on one form but I kept getting errors
even if I tried a control array or renaming the 3 controls. The array
kept giving compile errors while the renaming of the 3 controls would
log in but not return events.

I am sure as I recover from this massive headache that there is a much
more elegant solution.

Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction ... I am so
appreciative !

Best as Always

Hello all !

I am posting this code in hopes that it can be a source of information
for new people so they do not have to go thru the brain damage I did
to make a bot. It is not authorative and only partial code is here as
there are actually 3 bots but this is a start.

This includes ability to store/retrieve location data, use multiple
cit# and encrypt / decrypt passwords.

Please don't throw stones at me for code imperfections ... there
simply was no information available other than what very little I
could get from this NG.

This is Visual Basic

Best as always !

Hello All

I wish to announce version 4 of Relayer. This bot is similar to
PhoneBot but has significant enhancements.

It enables up to 3 bots to be logged into any World in 1 or 2
Universes of your choosing and enables extended chat.

It is extremely stable and allows saving and restoring of login
information.

You can use 2 different Cit#s (required for multi - Universe) or
desired in some cases to avoid the "Bot Limit Exceeded" error.

It is free and you can see it at:
http://www.jefftech.net/relaybot.html

Best as always :-)

Hello all

This is a VB question.

I want to thank all who have contributed to the TimerBot project!

I most particularly want to thank Grimble for getting me on the right
track to start with.

I am having a problem with multiple instances.

I can initiate multiple instances within the same API without problem.
The problem comes when I release an instance.

Any initiation of a new instance will pass events to an already
created instance !

I have tried everything I can think of in my exit handler for an
instance. I have even tried :

AwDestroy

and it comes back to an already created (but not killed instance)
rather than a new one when recreated !

Any insight would be greatly appreciated :-)

Hi all

I wish to announce my second Bot called TimerBot

It is designed to watch an area of any World in any Universe where you
have Bot privs.

The idea is to place the Bot high above an area to be watched so it is
not seen and it watches for avatars entering or exiting the area. What
it does is keeps track of the time that an avatar has been there by
reading the system clock for when the av enters and leaves. Times are
updated for each avatar in the area every 10 secs. It also pops up a
small window on top of all windows for 10 seconds and generates a
sound when an event occurs if notification is enabled. The different
sounds used for entering and leaving are included in the package. The
Bot does not announce it's presence and has no chat or whisper
functionality at all at this time. TimerBot completely ignores other
Bots.

You can save / restore the Cit info and retrieved information for ease
of use and cumulative analysis of traffic in the area. The Priv.
password is hidden from view for your protection. Please note that the
file saved with the parameters DOES have the password encrypted as
well. It uses an algorithm that I developed several years ago that is
quite secure.

Please see http://www.jefftech.net/timerbot.html for further
information and free download.

[View Quote] I was thinking (after posting this) that TimerBot could have an
additional function. An intrusion logging mechanism that would be
quite easy to implement actually.

Here is the idea ... Timer would log chat in the area and save it to
an encrypted file using the same algorythm that I currently use that
can not be read by the person using the Bot but able to be read by
only PK's.

This could actually be a definitve source of untainted information to
resolve disputes.

Only PK's would have the password necessary to decrypt the chat file
that TimerBot has generated. The Bot has logged chat already and
tampering is impossible.

Any ideas here would be appreciated as the mechanism is in place to
very easily do this.

Hello again

This is not intended to be an algotithm of 1024 Cypher strength. It is
intended to keep the usual abusers in AW and their victims honest.

Most typical (at least in my world) is a gang will invade (usually
teenaged boys) and make life hard for legitimate people.

This is intended to provide a mechanism to validate the event occured
and was not "doctored."

I did in fact develop such a mechanism in the form of 2 executable
files. TimerBot itself is now capable of storing an encrypted text
file of avatar events and chat events that includes local time/date
stamps. This file can only be read by the companion program unless you
are into crypto which is highly unlikely for AW users.

Rather than hand out passwords to PKs ... the decryption executable
has the same algorithm and password as the TimerBot itself.

I will never release source code for this.

If a user has an issue ... they can send the encrypted file to the PK
and the PK can decrypt with full confidence that the event did
actually occur.

Please see www.jefftech.net/timerbot.html for full details and
download

Mar 7, 2002, 10:55pm

Hi again

I was thinking about the posts about encrypt strength again. There is
absolutely no need to have a strong cypher as the data is intended to
be decrypted with minimal code.

What is needed for this application is the inability to modify the
encrypted string and there is a CRC checksum built into the string so
if it is modified ... decode will either fail altogether or it will
appear tampered in the Decrypt executable.

I am not giving away my secrets but trust me ... the security is more
than meets the eye here.

Greets to all

Stable and debugged versions of TimerBot and Relayer are released
today after nearly 2 months of development.

Please let me please explain the purpose of each.

****

Relayer is an enhaced Phonebot that enables chat between different
Universes or different Worlds or simply to increase chat range in a
World.

***

Timer is an ambitious project that can watch an area in a World. It
monitors all avatar and chat events and can save this activity with
time and date stamps to an encrypted file. There is a companion
program that can read this file.

The intention of Timer is ttwofold actually:

1) To keep a cumulative log of avatars entering and leaving the area
and time spent such as GZ of a World.

2) To generate a valid log file that can not be tampered with than can
be sent to PKs in case of disputes.

*****

If you are interested in these projects ... they are both well
documented with screenshots too and you can download them at :

Hello all

I have been following the dialog of the issues that Insanity has
raised. I am a consutant for 4 ISPs and there have been numerous
E-Commerce issues I have addressed.

I fully concur that E-Mail is a wholly inadequate mechanism for credit
card transactions and that practice should be halted. It is completely
insecure and is vulnerable to snooping as well as spoofing.

I am appalled that AW would set up an online transaction where double
billing would or could occur. When setting up an E-Commerce site, you
test and retest and then test again till you are sure all is well ...
and you use SSL. These transactions must be secure !

I can not address the issues of "refunds to customers" related to
overbilling as I have no personal knowledge of that but I can say that
AW is getting very bad marks in my book for the way it treats their
customers. I have a wonderful example of "customer care".

The decision was made to buy my world. I contacted customer service
via E-Mail and asked what are the ramications of world purchase. I was
told all would be well ... no complications, the world would be
available in a minute or two. So I purchased the world only to find
that it was totally devoid of objects ! Desperate attempts to contact
AW resulted in a response some hours later that they had not saved
world contents !

Well as I have my own object path and world host ... I was totally
hosed ! Fortunately I had backed up the world with BuildBot and was
able to recover. I however was appalled at AW customer service telling
me all would be well when in fact all was lost !

So I fully concur with Insanity that there is something very wrong
there.

I want to wish the happiest of birthdays to Andras ... a great guy and
a tremendous asset to the AW community ! I was fortunate enough to go
to his party where I saw old friends and met new ones alike. It is
wonderful to see many of the " people that make AW better " get
together and have fun. There is much that is good with AW and we have
to continue to look for the good side. In spite if the flame wars that
occur here ... there is the often overlooked (and taken for granted)
95% of the population that has fun in AW ! Not aware of underlying
issues perhaps ... but they have fun.

Best as always :-)
