Build 39 of the 3.6 SDK:

Please look at http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/whatsnew.htm for changes and
have it tested. Preferable link with msvcrt.lib insteed of libc.lib. Reply
to this message thread to let me know if you run into problems when you
compile it. Build 38 is still available at

Yes, you are correct. The SDK, the universe and the world serves are
available to run on -nix platforms, but the browser is not. Thanks to Andras
at this place again, for porting the SDK to linux recently!

Linux has a Windows emulation software called WINE. Not all parts can be
emulated, though, but the 3D window, the chat and other main parts should
work. One has to be experienced on Windows and on Linux to set up a propper
and rather complex emulation environment, though.

If someone knows of an easy way how to run a complex application like the
browser on linux (WINE or another emulation), I would appreciate it very
much too :-)

With the Resourcce Manager of VS 4.x RichEdit controls could not be used
directly. Load and create the window 'manually' in your code instead, which
would look like (for ANSI 8 bit chars ) :

#include <richedit.h>

LoadLibrary ("Riched20.dll");
CreateWindowEx ( 0, "RichEdit20A", ...);


I'm sure you figure it out,

You have to call all SDK functions from the same thread. Although, you can
run the GUI or other working threads from another thread. It's up to the
application programmer to take care of IPC ( Inter Process Communication -
transfering data and issuing function calls inbetween threads of an
application ).

Call aw_wait (0) inbetween the aw_object_add () and aw_object_change ()
mehtods, to a) catch callbacks and events; b) to avoid buffer overruns of
the outgoing socket. Or use syncronous calls to avoid this situation is mass
building.

Mark, I have to correct you here.

aw_cell_next is an enumaration through cells and uses an iterator; this
iterator is not increased before the callback returned.

So, if you ever had a closer look to the result you got back, you see that
you got the cell same 10 times, unless you set the AW_CELL_ITERATOR to a
right value before you issue an call to aw_cell_next ();

If you do not use AW_CALLBACK_CELL_RESULT, just look at the example at the
SDK help pages. If you use the callback, issue subsequent aw_cell_next ()
calls from there, as it is where you first get the new enumerated iterator.

Thanks and good luck,
Chris

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=iterator

iterator

<programming> An object or routine for accessing items
from a list, array or stream one at a time.

By extension, the term can be used for an object or routine
for accesing items from any data structure that can be viewed
as a list. For example, a traverser is an iterator for
tree-shaped data structures.

Note, ONE at a time ;-)

Not in this case, where objects data are received before the object result
comes in. The object result will iterate to the next available cell.

in particular the Preparation section. You can also register the DLL using regsvr32.exe

Example:
create sign, name=stream; activate media url=...

To mute (equals to set volume to zero):

activate media set vol=0 name=stream

To stop, either click the media sign itsself or:

activate media stop name=stream


For advanced examples look at AW 32743N 15000E.

[View Quote] When we talk about streaming media, the amount of data downloaded depends on
the stream content and quality itsself, and even may vary during the time
the stream is running.

Unlike the sound command, the media command does not download the file into
the browser's cache because the content actually may change, in particular
if the feed is broadcasted live.

The purpose of the media command is not to replace the sound command, which
has differnt features and purposes. Even the media command has capabilities
to play files and formats which could be used by the sound and the noise
command too, the usage of the media command is focused to support a wide
varity of streaming (non-caching) audio and video formats the from the
internet ( from the web or from media servers).

A file's extension does not tell you the actually used format in many cases,
in particular not if streaming from a media server using the mss:// prefix.
Also, one may call a file .wav for example, containing a mpg formated
stream for example, where the stream still will display the video.

Object Refresh does check if the file on the web (OP) has been modified
since it's been cached. In plain words, the objects and the according
textures are only downloaded if they have been modified since the cache have
been updated before. This is achieved by comparing the modification date of
the files from the OP with the modification data stored in the local cache.

It's just fine to set object refresh rate to zero, whenever you want your
visitors to downloaded the latest avatars.dat too.

A reminder how to set up debug log for the browser:

1) Open aworld.ini in notepad.
2) Look for a section [Debug]
3) Add or modify to:

[Debug]
all=1
purge_time=30

4) Save aworld.ini and restart the browser.
5) Reproduce the issue.


This will generate the log for each session in a file aworld.log. In case the browser
crashes, compress this file to a zip file and send it off to support at activeworlds.com
along with a descrpition of the problem and how and where to reproduce it. (Beta related
logs should go to beta at activeworlds.com).

Note: While the debug log is on, you might notice descreased system performance.
Therefore, switch it off when not needed:

[Debug]
all=0

If you get a telegram like this:

"Telegram from someone's name, sent Mo Jul 21, 2003 06:41:
My friend has made a cool little program for AW and it would mean a lot to
me if you helped him out and downloaded it and told me and him what you
think: www . twisted-inc . com / awtoolkit . exe "
(URL without blanks).

do NOT download and run the program.


How it installs on your system:

awtoolkit.exe immidiatly renames to c:\%win_root%\msagent\mslxlu.exe. It
creates at least 3 registry entries, which call the program whenever you
logon to windows and/or you start IE. Once mslxlu.exe it copies itself to
c:\%win_root%\system32\msrksd.com, which is also called when you logon to
windows or start IE. A third copy is made and copied to
c:\%win_root%\win32cmds.exe. Using your taskmanager (win2k/XP) will show you
this process once its running.

All instances are UPX compressed files. Norton does NOT recognize the
trojan!


What it does:

1) It runs an IRC server on port 6666
2) It connects to ICQ using remote port 80
3) It tries to connect to hotmail.com to send off an email, using remote
port 25

I did not analyse the data it would try to send, though, as in- and outgoing
connections were blocked when I analysed it. It looks like the trojan is
even able to capture your screen.

In case one of you already got infected, please contact ActiveWorlds for
removal instructions.
