Hi neophile,

Class methods cannot be used for event handlers, as they have an implicit 'this' parameter. You must use plain C functions.

My bots received this when TechnoZeus attempted to invite me while I was offline.

Have you tried remaking your import library? (http://brutus.homeunix.org/aw/sdk_devcpp.htm)

[View Quote] > Hi, I use DevCpp and since I had updated my version 4.9.9.0 to 4.9.9.2 , all my compiled applications crash when happen the aw_init(AW_BUILD) function: My sources codes not change since the upgrade and the compilation not report any warning or error. Is someone have an idea or solution?

AW_TERRAIN_NODE_X
AW_TERRAIN_NODE_Z
AW_TERRAIN_NODE_SIZE
AW_TERRAIN_NODE_HEIGHT_COUNT
AW_TERRAIN_NODE_HEIGHTS

Using this data in the TERRAIN_DATA event, is it possible to determine the 'property' cell (like 7S 6E) of cells inside the terrain node?

It would be nice for bots with eject rights to be given an avatar's IP address (AW_AVATAR_ADDRESS) on in AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD. It would spare both having to set up AW_CALLBACK_ADDRESS and make a call to aw_address().

You have 2 solutions for resolve it : make an aw_wait(20) inside the windows callback loop (20 ms for exemple) or use a specific thread for AW. I using Dev CPP 4.9.9.0 with the wxWidgets (better than windows API for the GUI)

You should use 0 for aw_wait(), as any non-zero value will cause the GUI to block. As I understand it, the value of 0 will cause aw_wait() to just process immediately without blocking.

Reason code 500 is RC_CANT_RESOLVE_UNIVERSE_HOST.

By the way, if you just want to get into the default universe aw_create(0, 0, 0) is sufficient.

You may need to check your DNS server to see if something is wrong if you are receiving RC_CANT_RESOLVE_UNIVERSE_HOST (500).

I have a bot which keeps track of the cell sequences it receives for sectors in a small database.

When this bot sends these sequence numbers to the server (via aw_query), how will the bot be notified that an object has been deleted since it last queried for property in that area?

May 31, 2005, 6:45am

[View Quote] Okay. So what I can do is when I detect (in CELL_BEGIN event) a different in sequence numbers from what the bot has recorded, it erases that whole sector from its property database and issues a query for that sector.

What does the AW browser do in this situation?

No, that's actually going to be more of a hassle.

What I plan on having this bot do instead is in the CELL_BEGIN event, the bot will erase the cell from its property database. Any subsequent CELL_OBJECT events should fill it back up, and getting none would mean that the cell is empty.

I have recently completed a clone of the popular Demeter bot, "TerraForge", which allows non-caretakers to make use of terrain functionality.

TerraForge strives to remain compatible with behavior expected from Demeter so as to present a smooth transition for Demeter users to TerraForge. With noted exceptions, most of TerraForge's commands behave similar to Demeter's commands.

In order to properly assess TerraForge's ability to handle user stress, a public stress test is being run in the world "ziOn". All users (unfortunately except for tourists) are welcome to come into the world and play around with the bot.

This public beta will last one week, from 12 May 2005 (today) to 18 May 2005. During the first three days, public bots will not be permitted in the test. For the remaining four days, bots will be permitted.

After the stress testing period, TerraForge will become available for download.

Suggestions for TerraForge may be telegramed to me in ActiveWorlds.

Hope to see you in ziOn! Invite your friends and have a building party. ziOn is a P-30 world, and has been extended to 100 users by AWI for the duration of the test.

I've had this happen before. It's specific to Xelagot, and not the AW SDK.

It usually happens when Explorer crashes and X1 loses its tray icon. Since I can't restore it from the tray, it can't be safely shutdown since it tries to bring up a little "Do you wish to exit?" prompt.

All of those variables need to be declared... it didn't even work on mine. (version 3.610)

"$cht =" also did not work as expected, but "Concat $cht" does.

Fixed script:

GetChatline $lin
Concat $cht $nam ":" #9 $lin

The AW browser is bolted on to Windows by too many critical things:

* Renderware (is there an RW for Linux now?)
* Windows Media Player (for the 'media' command)
* Internet Explorer (for the in-browser web panel)
* Faircom CTree database (what about this one?)

It seems to me that a complete rewrite of AW's browser is necessary to make a Linux version possible. IMO, this is not something AWI has the manpower to do.

[View Quote] > [...] OSF will be asked to look into this now. [...]

The OSF has absolutely no authority over a private company's actions. It is completely absurd for you to even think that they do, and only continues to prove the notion that you're just a Linux zealot trying to push your own agenda.

'R i c h a r d' has already told you it is possible to use AW under WINE. If you won't do this, then there's no alternative for you. If you REALLY want to run AW, get your hardware in check and figure out what went wrong under Windows XP -- that really is the *only* problem you've had with Windows XP.

I'm personally getting sick of your Linux-pushing agenda, and I'm sure many others are too. You need to lighten up on it, or else you're only going to increase the resistance to your idea.

Might be handy to have the cell grid outline sector areas as well... or you could just throw in a "Sector Grid"...

While we're at it, the session number should also be available in AW_EVENT_CONSOLE_MESSAGE.

If you have _only_ a firewall on the affected PC (or external gateway), without antivirus software, then the firewall doesn't stop you from downloading a virus and running it.

No, you all have it wrong; it's a rather complicated story.

Operator was jealous of CA and BI, so she created some forged telegrams which appeared to be from the CA; the telegrams were essentially that the CA had been in a long-running affair with the IO. This obviously upset BI, and he went to confront the IO. The BI and IO had a huge fight, and the IO tried to deport BI but he couldn't, so they both agreed that the real problem was the CA and IO simply had her deported.

It's all a huge mess right now.
