at the MBE/KAHBOT we've just improved the standard Xelagot LaserTag script!
it now dumps "skulls" where someone has been shot! I'm making a page for it
on our site, http://www.kahbot.com/, right now. it can be downloaded here:
http://home.no.net/kahbot/war.txt
it has been tested in BotMania of Vectorscape.

also see our new online bot-forum! http://kah.vectorscape.org (thank you,
Lord Vector!)

well, it makes it more realistic...one could for example dump a
"skull"-object that looks like a dead avatar.

Hi, I just put up an example project illustrating how to query property in
AW, and how to effectively manage the data from the query. It's well
commented (at least for me being me, but I think the commenting is rather
good), and illustrates both awquery (the old one) and awquery5x5. You can
download it at http://kahnews.cjb.net/bots/ :-))

Hi, I'm thinking of starting a project relating to bots and bot programming:
in short, the Planet Source Code concept, for AW bots/utilities. If you
don't know Planet Source Code, the concept is that users submit source code
to a source code library where other programmers can get the code freely.
Many find it very usefull for learning, and I think it would be nice to do
something similar for AW. What do you all think? and are some of you
interested in helping out creating it? please reply to this post or emial me
[kah at kahnews.cjb.net] :-))

PS. please don't flame me for crossposting, this seems relevant to both

Look, before you continue posting, learn how to post correctly! this is NOT
related to the sdk and community groups, only the bots group. And this is an
issue you should contact Brant himself about, we don't really care about
your rants about bots. And obviously you aren't very familiar with how AW
works it seems, neither about some general things about bots and software in
general (don't expect a beta to work like a release). Please don't crosspost
if it isn't REALLY necessary, and if you REALLY want to post a rant, do so
in general.discussion.

Z is meant to be depth, so it's quite normal (X: width, Y: height and Z:
depth). But it would be Y in your equation if you do a 2D circle on a
picture, since pictures don't have any depth.

I'm making a HamBot script called AdBot, that rotates ads. It works fine
with Hambot build 29, wich I used to test it (in Vectorscape) at first. But
after the first release, I tested it in Norge of AW, and when it was
supposed to restart the rotate process, it suddently got
RC_CANT_FIND_OLD_ELEMENT (Reason Code 204). What's the difference that makes
this happen in build 32, but not in build 29?

First, > is different from >= because if you have X = 1 and Y = 1 and you
do If X > Y it will be false, but it will often be desireable to have it
evalute to true in this case. What's the point of assigning awobj.x to
another variable? It's already a variable, you'll be wasting time and
memory assigning it to another var :-)). Parantheses don't make much of a
difference, really (actually, I don't think they matter at all). Xcounter
and Zcounter are just a shortcut to have a loop, because the For var = X
to Y needs a var.

I know you had a very good point about those For loops, I was just trying
to explain why Brant had done it, I would probably have used a Do loop
myself. You might've optimized code for a while, but it doesn't really
matter, does it? :-)) Anyway, I have no problems with your post, it had
quite a few valid points, even though I don't see the interest in gaining
a few milliseconds in such an app lol, but I guess it's like me and valid
HTML, it doesn't make any difference really to not have quotes, etc, but
it still should conform with HTML standards, we all need our little
quircks ;-))

But who's sniping who? I guess datedman meant I was "sniping" him, but
that's a misunderstanding, I was absolutely not trying to be rude or put

6MB of GUI drivers??? Get VB and make GUIs that take up a few kbs... (in

Well, maybe you didn't intend to put down VB systematically, but it sure
was that way it seemed. This has annoyed me and lots of other VB
programmers around here. I'm adventuring into the realms of C and C++, but
it's taking a while ;-)) I don't recommend posting "you should do that in
C, not in VB" in VB related threads, we see it as an attack on our

WMP.OCX? that's a crappy thingy lol ;-)) Mailer OCX? You mean those
horrid MAPI things from MS? I recommend just using a winsock (the SMTP

Note that VB *does* have typing, but it also has a type called Variant,
which does not have typing, and it is considerably slower than a variable
declared as a specific type, all serious VB programmers keep well at
distance from it.

Yes, but any sane person will use it, and there is an option to force it
(Option Explicit). I program 3D in VB, so speed is important to me :-))
