Query the terrain first, then give your trees random X and Z positions,
then compute the Y value for those positions, according to the terrain
query results. You'll have to do a bit of maths though.

API is an abbreviation of Application Programming Interface. Any component
not part of a program used by a program for functionality can be called an
API. The COM wrapper is an API, D3D is an API, Winsock is an API, etc. I
believe there are installation instructions provided with the COM wrapper.

Hi, I'm about to begin work on a new and improved version of
http://bots.omegauniverse.com/. To be able to create the ultimate bot site,
I need to get input from the people who might use the site. That is, people
interested in using bots and people who develop bots. I'd appreciate it if
you visited the site, had a look around there and told me what you think is
good, what's not so good, what should be added. Mail suggestions to me
(kah at kahnews.cjb.net) or reply to this post.

I appreciate all input, thanks in advance :-))

You have to associate the MIME-type of the file to the AW browser. It's
just a little pointer for the browser. If you're not going to use it from
outside the AW browser then never mind it, just use AW's script (it won't
actually request it, just parse the URL).

This option is not possible. You wouldn't like it if all your registration
info (including CC#) was broadcasted to bots, would you?

Ditch all this bot stuff, just use the built-in system. If your universe is

PS. If you want the real answer (you're right, it's quite off-topic, and
thus a lot of people here won't know either) check MSDN.

Apr 3, 2001, 1:53pm

Well, as MrGrimm sayd, you have to call AW_WAIT! And you should also do the
state thingy when you log in your bot.

KAH
PS. If you don't call AW_WAIT all the time, your bot will be thrown away by
the AW server.

Dead simple to do as well, just generate installers (okay, they look
horrible, but they still work) with the installation tool included with VB.

Show us your code. BTW, this is a question for the SDK group. I don't know
what AWObject.allObjects would be, seems like some sort of Java-wrapper

Actually, it's a timezone somewhere in the Atlantic. It's supposed to be a

Ugh. That's rather paranoid if you ask me. The simple solution is educating
people not to open anything at all, as has happened here. And while we're
discussion trusted sources, that was just what our friend M a t t exploited
to distribute it, first take a few citizenships, then abusing the trust
others had in the stolen accounts to further distribute it.

Don't just accept a bot/application without even asking what it does
("toolkit for AW" tells a *lot*, doesn't it...), or without getting a demo.
If you do accept something and it seems suspisious to you, investigate it.
Look in your process list (under Win9x/ME you won't get access to all
processes through CTRL+ALT+DEL unfortunately), in your registry, etc. A
packet sniffer can be usefull too.

I doubt everyone is going to be willing to give out their sourcecode to
AWI, and what would it help to have it code signed and hosted by them if
it's really a trojan?

No MSN support. I was working on ICQ because it would require quite few

You can build objects anywhere within the building limits of the world. If
you can teach your bot how to do things, then you're one damn good AI
programmer ;-)

As for terrain sensing that's a bit more complex since AWI never bothered
to properly document terrain. I'm sure someone here can help you with it.

No, you just need to set the AW_OBJECT_* properties (with the exception of
a few, such as AW_OBJECT_OLD_*) and call aw_object_add(). See the SDK
documentation on that function for more.

Would be kind of stupid if the server randomly placed the object, wouldn't
it? Like Strike said, I think you need to go read the SDK manual, it covers
property well:
