I am making a scheduling system with long running tasks, threads are the
only way to do that. You see, I could write 1,000 lines of threads, or
10,000 lines of codes without threads... Which seems more economic?

incorrect, the only other alternative is to do everything with separate
processes, which would be about 4,000 lines per 1000 threads. But, it would
still be good to get the sdk threadsafe, and not that hard either

magine's magsbot does something like this... but you only have to have
eject. You can drag avatars behind the bot, or you can warp them to specific
objects or avatars...

same point :-)

wow, I have to say it, that was one of the most "entertaining" posts I've
read in a long time. Especially since not one of us feels good about what
happened to Columbia, we are all on the same side, don't worry :P also, this
has absoultely nothing to do with bots, sdk, wishlist, or worldbuilders... I
could see maybe community and general discussion, but not the others :P

there is a way to get an object to talk through the use of a bot, kinda,
where you click on the object, and the bot sends a console message with the
text put into the string inside the object... they use it in awrpg :-)
which, btw, opens on Saturday at 6pm vrt

> Well, at this point in time objects in Active Worlds don't talk... but the
addition of a simple "talk" command (or a send chat command, speak command,
or what ever you want to call it) to allow a line of text to be sent to the
chat in the same way that it can now be placed on a sign would change that.
I think the biggest drawback would be that it would only take one person
abusing it to make almost everyone want to disable it. At the least, there
would need to be a built in way to mute objects, and a limit on how many
lines of chat text can be sent by objects placed by a single citizen within
a given amount of time.

I have the preston files, if anyone wants them, just send me an e-mail
j at jlife.net it's really simple to use, however, in order to attain the best
results, you should have a 3.4 server and browser, but it works without
those. If you have those, just turn on the hide chat option, start up the
bot on the right ppw, and off ya go!

it would be nice if a change could be made to the cache, making the property
folders inaccessible for certain worlds in standalone. For instance, since
standalone allows shift, fly, ect, in worlds which do not have those, people
can roam around freely. Say there are specific places that the admin of
those worlds do not want people seeing before a certain time... that can all
be thrown out the window with standalone mode. It would be nice if people
could be trusted... but there are people out there who have nothing better
to do than cheat.
