Well, security by hiding an implementation in the aw browser is no security
anyway... the gain would be bots acting a lot more "natural", or a bot which uses completely different methods for 3d display than the browser... and the loss is close to nothing.

Yep, point taken, you are right. Bots probably won't have a more advanced
collision detection. Compared to actually no object recognition at all (and there for no collision detection whatsoever) it would still be a huge improvement :) but pure theoretical, bots that have access to the complete rwx file for both avatars and objects, could for sure implement their own detection, which can be much improved in comparison to the aw browser. access to the rwx files and maybe helper functions to parse them hands all those posibilities over to the bot programmer. right now there is nothing. and copyright issues might make this case stay that way.

I was thinking about it. Put a box around the guy having "bump warp..." as
action, but if that guy is running fast, you end up chasing him with "a borg cubicle" in order to make him go as you want :) Walter aka Fbaer Rjinswand schrieb in Nachricht <36ddbc4d.0 at homer>... Nope not yet. This is a vital feature that we need to have in a future SDK... not too far future I hope. In the meantime you'll have to make do with "patch" methods of creating bump teleport/warp panels dynamically, which isn't the same or as reliable. Rjinswand [View Quote] Having a header problemMar 8, 1999, 5:01pm
Since 444 is RC_NOT_INITIALIZED check the following:
1) make sure the header file aw.h does correspond to the aw.lib and aw.dll you use. 2) see if the error is actually thrown by the code you provided. it might be that your api_start is not called for some reason, and then EVERY other function would throw 444 as the error code. e.g. if you program via copy&paste (as all good programmers do it, its called "code reuse" :) ), you might have an aw_login() or aw_create() somewhere which on failure prints out "Failed\nUnable to initialize API (reason %d)\n", causing you to look at the wrong place.

The only way i can see how a bot could influence an avatars position is the
following: Say a bot decides that Avatar "Faber" should be put somewhere else, say out of the playing field due to soccer rule violation. The bot now would have to see where "Faber" currently is, and build an object into the walking path of "Faber" with an "bump warp 0n 0e" action, so that as soon as Faber tries to walk somewhere, bumps into the new object and gets teleported to 0n 0e. Since you can't know where "Faber" will go next, you would have to use an object which surounds him, say a big cubicle. but the drawback of this approach is the time delay between the determination of "Faber"'s position and the object appearance. It might happen that "Faber" left the building area before the bot's object is in place. In this case, the bot would have to remove the object again and place it on the new Position of "Faber". If "Faber" now keeps on walking fast enough, the bot is actually chasing "Faber" with a cubicle object. And, taken from the Star Trek TV Series, this is what the aliens named "borg" do, they chase star ships with big bulky black cubicle ships. hope my point is clear now :) Walter aka Faber Riccardo Antonini schrieb in Nachricht <36E8F8C8.77731BCB at UniRoma2.it>... >Message for Walter Knupe > >We have read your message, and would like to ask you what do you mean >exactly by "bump ward" and by "borg cubicle". >Please specify exactly what you mean. >We look forward to receiving your reply >Thanks in advance and best regards > programming avatar through SDKMar 14, 1999, 12:16pm

Unfortunately MS changes their import library format with almost every
compiler version. aw.lib is the VC6 import library, invalid to old linkers. in order to use the aw.dll you need to either a) create your own aw.lib by using an implib.exe or impdef.exe tool (if it came with your compiler) b) using run-time binding to the aw.dll, which must be self-made and is difficult even for people who know how it has to be done (GetProcAddress() calls) c) for other compilers check if others have done the work of creating proper import libraries already d) use other languages like Java or VB or Delphi. These add-on SDKs are not providef by Activeworlds, but if you browse this newsgroup closely, you'll find the links for more information and downloading e) spend $80-$100 on the MS Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Edition Walter aka Faber Jeffrey W.

Your error message is cause by an aw.lib import library that refers to
missing aw.dll exports... that means you have a non matching aw.dll in your path. Since your development environment can not use the supplied aw.lib i assume you created it yourself or got it somewhere else. it looks like you have to recreate it from the current aw.dll.

Its actually better for a foreign lib, such as aw.lib, to be put under
Project/Settings/Linker/Object libraries (just put or add aw.lib in that edit field) Walter aka Faber Wampa1 <Wampa1 at email.msn.com> schrieb in im Newsbeitrag: 37a4ec50.0 at homer... > in Visual C++ you click > Project --> Add to project --> Files... > > then find the AW.lib file and click OK [View Quote] What's wrong with my codeAug 3, 1999, 7:49pm
Well that or keep in in the same directory as your project files.
Which is what i do. Even old bots with old aw.dlls compile and run fine this way, if you have aw.h, aw.lib and aw.dll in the project directory...

How do you check if an aw.dll is build 15 ?
You can't, so you have to remove all aw.dll's, all aw.libs and aw.hs from your system completely then redownload the sdk, _RECOMPILE_ completely (!!!) and your problem should be gone..

All you can do is store the coords for each session id when you get them in
your aw_avatar_add and aw_avatar_change events in some kind of array or list, and then retrieve them using the session id as needed. Walter aka Faber Andon M.

If you using a list instead of an array, you have no problesm with an
unpredicted increase in the avatar number, but since you can specify the maximum number of avatars your're interested in, you can use an array pretty save. 50 avatars is default, so a 50 entries sized array should be pretty safe :) Walter aka Faber Andon M.

what about including both .hpp file in your avatarme.c. ?

Same here, actually,. I did not get the point... never use I.P. addresses,
just use domain names and you're on the safe side.... but IF someone enters an I.P. address, please NEVER EVER change it automatically to something you think is what was ment.... an I.P. is a direct "order" to connect to a certain internet socket endpoint, which should not be "interpreted" in any way. That is what DNS was made for :) Walter aka Faber Andon M. Coleman <gizmo98 at earthlink.net> schrieb in im Newsbeitrag: 37af6d40.0 at homer... > I sense you don't understand the point of that . . . [View Quote] Preston 30 is outMay 22, 2000, 9:02pm
As the subject says, Preston 30 is out.
The list of changes include: - Note #1: The BETA phase of Preston will not end for a while since it is using the beta version of the Active Worlds SDK. - Note #2: Before updating your Preston, make sure to backup your preston.ini and preston.mls file. You should regularly backup these 2 files anyway. - This build has all the actions categorized and sorted now on the Dictionary Entry Add/Edit Dialog. Note that this is a visual change only, all old preston scripts load and function without a change. - Preston now has a new event: Object select. It triggers whenever someone nearby right clicks an object. - Object Click events with no target name now trigger on all objects. In previous builds it was required for the object to have a name, although any name did match, the name tag was mandatory. This is no longer the case. To have the old behavior, you have to use a pattern like ?* or similar. There is a new action "wait". The new action causes Preston to let a sequence wait the given number of seconds. Preston puts the current entry on a wait list, and revives it after the given number of seconds, continuing with any sequence attached to it. Therefore the action makes only sense as part of a sequence. Note that only the sequence is waiting, all other Preston activities continue to work during the waiting time. There is no limit on the number of sequences waiting concurrently. - Pattern matching is now a matching option for phrase dictionary entries. The pattern matching algorithm understands the usual wild cards * and ?, and letter sets in curly brackets, and negation. f?b*r would match "faber" but as well "febour" for example. "t{a-c}st" matches tast, tbst, and tcst. "t{!e}st" is like "t?st" except that it does not match "test". - All events except for "phrase" used to have a simple equality match on their arguments (avatar or object names, etc). this has been changed to "pattern matching".. .an avatar click on "f*" would match anyone whose name starts with an f. - The target name for "change object" and "delete object" now uses the pattern matching as well. - The announcement page now carries a "face speaker" check mark which controls if Preston faces the avatar it hears the chat text from. Its on per default to match the old behavior, but can now be turned off. - There is a new action, "change world settings", which enables Preston to change the current world settings (lights, fog, etc) on command. It takes an world settings entry name as an argument. For that reason all world settings entries can now be named, and the editing of the world settings list is now possible even if the automated scheduling of those entries is turned off. - "whisper reply" on the dictionary edit window was only working for "reply" action. This has been changed, it now should apply to all other responses too. - The <teleport> action now understands the at notation as targets to. using at faber or at someobject would get your bot to the given avatar/object. - The <avatar> action now takes the avatar number as a configurable parameter in the dictionary entry. Preston now has a <gesture> action. - The "Named Objects found" display now should be able to display the numbers on the right column accurately even if the number is very high. - The <log> action was not properly saving the logged entries to preston.log. The output on the user tab was ok, but the log file is corrupted. Enjoy :) Faber RC303?Aug 10, 1999, 2:54pm
We're talking about 32 bit programming here...
short int = 16 bits int = 32 bits long = 32 bits short int has always been 16 bit and long int has always been 32 bit... its just that the size of an integer changed from 16 bits to 32 bit when moving from 16 to 32 bit programming...

Any laptop has a FN-Key combination to emulate a numpad. Usually you can tell which keys
in combination with FN to press to have the numpad results by very closely examining the keyboard. You might make out a numpad alike numbering :) Hope it helps, Walter aka Faber "LBC" <lbc2 at home.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:38942bc0 at server1.Activeworlds.com... > Thanks very much Jeffrey. > > Does anyone else have any ideas on how to get a Numberpad.less laptop to defy > gravity? > > Thanks again, > Lucia need some helpFeb 9, 2000, 10:05pm
Looks like your font folder is messed up. All the symbols on the system controls that come with
every window are taken from a special font for them. And if that font is missing, the system has to fall back on a default font, which, if missing too, has a fallback on a system font which resides in the kernel and which was not touched since Windows3.0 I believe, and which causes a "bulky" look :) So you might want to check your fonts folder and see if you can repair it somehow..
