Hi all,

A beta upgrade to Eclipse Evolution is now available on the website at
www.awportals.com/eclipse/

This upgrade contains the basic scripting system and it gives some features
similiar to Preston bots and can be accessed via the support > simple script
controller menu option.

Examples are available at:
http://www.awportals.com/eclipse/docs/bscript/example_1.php

There are also enhanced tools such as listing power-users.

Also introducing global-command-services, a set of special commands designed
for world owners to give their users abilities such as seeing who else is
using their privilege password, auto-join capabilities, finding their
coordinates etc.

Eclipse Evolution is AWTeen's primary services tool, to find out about the
new global command services visit AWTeen to try them out by saying...

^ratios
^version
^myprivs
^coords
^myrights
^identify
^world/about
^jump/near

For more information on jump points see
http://www.awportals.com/eclipse/docs/verbal/jump_1.php

Jump points are one of AWTeens most popular features with over 230
individual jump points and almost 1000 jump commands used a week.

Later on this weekend I will also be publishing a case study on using the
inbuilt MD5 cryptographic-hash function to positivly identify citizens to
web servers (no more need for them to give their privilege passwords to
authenticate via the non-existant COM DLL)

[View Quote] While I have the new thread, I would like to bring up one of the best
selling-points for using Eclipse Evolution in your worlds.

A lot of people come to me and ask me is there any way to find out who
ejected someone if I do not host the world and the ejection has already
expired, and I have to say that it would require contacting the hosting
provider.

<techsnip> The OO nature of Eclipse Evolution means that actions taken by
the bot can be handled in a uniform and consistant style, such as having the
eject method itself write an ejection report </techsnip>

Anyway, for those world owners that are concerned about giving out eject
rights you should consider using a bot such as Eclipse Evolution, its
inbuilt eject log capability means that you always know who has made
ejections and for what reason in a format that is easy to use.

No more having to contact world hosts to find out who ejected who.

For more information see:

I keep getting bugged for previews, so here one is (build 276):

* Zone based events allowing you to exclude users from areas of a world
* Advanced graphing capabilities (see below)
* More commands including sound-sending
* Easier access to change the CIS keys

[View Quote] Ok, so maybe I lied...

Last night I encountered a catastrophic hard disk failure (ie: somehow my
drive got formatted while installing a new drive).

Several of the latest Eclipse Evolution source files became corrupted,
however I made some pretty large changes in those files -

Its not the end of the world, I managed to recover 90% of it using Stellar
Phoenix and am trying to replace the lost files.

It does however mean the next update may take a while.

[View Quote] Its my fault really - I did not notice that my laptop was disconnected from
the network, and hence the backup across the network wasnt working.

[View Quote] Update:

Full investigation has revealed that the evo core has been corrupted.

It therefore makes more sense to re-write the bot (or at least its core) and
import what can be salvaged from the old project, rather than attempting to
fix the current project.

Sufficed to say I have learnt one hell of a lot in the process of making Evo
and moved from C++ noob to a proper designer, so I should be able to rip
through the redesign and get something back out within a few months.

Until that point I will likely release the last build I produced for the
beta which is, sufficed to say, more stable than my hard disk.

Sorry to everyone that uses it,
