Actually, it was all due to my stupidity lol, I had forgotten to update the

sorry for that and thanks for the help anyway :-)) *ashamed*

I guess the SDK is used internally for lots of admin apps, maybe to help
with development too. I don't think AW would know what to do with a
telegram sent from a bot, so even if you managed to get the telegram
functions working you'd have a hard time. Plus the AWC might detect it (if
they read logs or have log analysing apps) and get angry at you (Robbie
will tell you about that ;-)) ).

I think that it's pretty much always referenced Winsock 2 (yes, it is the

I'm assuming you know how to set SDK variables:

To move a bot, you set AW_MY_X, AW_MY_Y, AW_MY_Z and AW_MY_YAW (rotation)
and call aw_state_change() (in C++, in VB it's very similar).

To change the weather (there's no weather feature in AW, I guess you mean
changing the skybox and lighting), set the world attributes you use to
make a weather effect and call aw_world_attributes_change().

To login to the EduVerse, you must change the parameters of aw_create():
aw_create ("edu.activeworlds.com", 0, 0). Find connection info for other
universes on Mauz's great site (http://mauz.info).

Look in the SDK docs for complete documentation.

*NOT* the newsgroup, your newsreader did that :-)) The news server doesn't
sort messages (off course, it could, but it wouldn't matter because most
newsreaders sort messages themselfes). Yes, I know I'm freaky for insisting

I've had some weird trouble with updating objects (in VB, I don't know if
this is a VB wrapper related thing) if I don't set all the object values
again, instead of just changing the one I want to change, it has fun
changing citnum to the citnum of objects nearby, model, etc, etc. Have you
set all the object properties (especially the position/rotation, model and
owner properites)?

It just means that you can't mail Ima Genius about your problems with it,
not that it isn't documented. It works almost *exactly* the same way as the

Say Bot1 is in WorldA running on Machine1 and Bot2 is in WorldB running on
Machine1. Say both bots are relaying bots that relay the chat from other
places. But how are they going to transfer the chat between them? They need
a communication channel outside of AW. That's what BONE is. See the purpose

I use MingW, it has no problems with it, but you have to convert the DLL to
a .a library for it to work (easy process really).

You must run AW.DLL through a tool that comes with MingW called dlltool,
only thing is that it needs a file listing all the functions in the DLL,
you can either do it manually or use an app like pexports like I do (see
the MingW site for a link). To catch the output of pexports I wrote a dead
simple PHP script, I could send it to you if you want it (you'll need to
have PHP installed on your machine though). Dlltool generates a library
file, aw.a, that you reference to when you compile the app :-))

That's the newbie-ish uncorrect way. The most common correct way is to use
an array. With an array you can also skip having any listboxes at all:
<code language="VB">
Private Type AwUser
AwName As String
AwSession As Long
End Type

Dim AwUsers() As AwUser
Dim AUIdx As Long 'this one should be set to -1 at init

Private Sub sdk_EventAvatarAdd()
AUIdx = AUIdx + 1
AwUsers(AUIdx).AwName = sdk.AwAvatarName
AwUsers(AUIdx).AwSession = sdk.AwAvatarSession
End Sub

Using RW to do it isn't such a good idea, since you'd have to use a pre-RW3
version which are crappy (and when AW was converted to RW3 Roland & Co.
started making their own RWX extensions that it wouldn't support anyway).
The OGL or D3D version would probably be best (I daresay using D3D will be
easiest because there are more D3D engines than OGL engines for VB). I
really doubt an OCX/DLL doing exactly this task exists, but a search might
be wise.

The COM wrapper uses the same names (pretty much) as in the standard C/C++
SDK, so it's

sdk.aw_init (AW_BUILD)

QuickLogin]

Hi all avid bot users and developers!

I'd like to announce the opening of a new AW bot site, targeting both the
user and the developer, powered by a custom, dynamic content system:
http://bots.omegauniverse.com/

There you'll find bot news, bot source code, and compiled bot programs in
three categories:
- C and C++
- Visual Basic
- Misc./Pascal-Delphi

By registering as a member (it's free, fast and completely SPAM free) you
get access to even more features, like submitting your own bots. We'd
appreciate it very much if bot developers submit their bots to the site!

We're constantly working on adding new and cooler features, especially bot
developers can expect some really neat improvements soon...

So check Bowen & KAH's bot site out now:
http://bots.omegauniverse.com/

But the docs say it should return the citnum of the owner, so it's not

Something major has changed in the protocol it seems, and after some
digging I found that the real RC returned is 58 RC_MUST_UPGRADE. The HamBot
is compiled for the SDK build 15. Could someone with VC++ please recompile
it for build 24? I can provide the GPL sourcecode.

Developer note:
This is valid for all bots using old SDK builds, so if you wrote a bot long

want to recompile it...
