SDK 32 serious bug (Sdk)
SDK 32 serious bug // SdkxelagJul 10, 2003, 2:25am
Dear devteam, Bill, E N Z O,
a couple of weeks ago, testing SDK 31, I corresponded with Bill about a serious bug in the forced avatar change code regarding tourists. This bug has NOT been fixed in SDK 32, and leads to much confusion. I will give an example, to show the bug. Supposing the world server, and the clients are 3.4 compliant. An SDK 32 caretaker bot can change the avatar of other clients. When it comes to tourists, this happens "Cheng" comes in with avatar 1 (female tourist in most worlds) [Creep] that is a caretaker, changes her av to avatar 7 all browsers see her wear avatar 7 (including herself) bots see something different they get first an avatar_change event with avatar 7 (same as browser do), followed almpst inmediately by an avatar_change event with avatar 0 (the male tourist avatar). That means that the information bots get does not correspont with what browsers get. It may be that some code is left over in the bot SDK which does not correspond with the code in the browser. In any case, I would like to ask you to check this. I have tested this myself and with Anne of DLP. I am posting this in the relevant newsgroups too, so that bot makers and users know about this SDK 32 bug, hoping it will be removed soon. Alex bowenJul 10, 2003, 3:25am
It seems the only way to get their attention is to use a lot of nasty
language in your subject line now. ;) -- --Bowen-- xelagJul 10, 2003, 10:55pm

Don't worry. I'm sure since I replied, Enzo is watching it closely to
make sure I don't use the swears. :) -- --Bowen-- |
