Ever hear of punctuation?! Give it a shot :) .. If I knew anything about
bots or bot programming, I'd give you a hand, but thats not my
department so I can't help, sorry.

Make a better bot in console now then, and then another, and another... when
you have made 5 or 6 then go onto GUI's. Which are quite similar, except no
aw_wait loop.

Again with the punctuation >.<.. Anyways, i'm not a programmer, although
I have some experience with basic C++/ Programming is a tedious, at
times boring process, so to do this properly, you have to overcome the
desire for entertainment while you focus on what you are doing. It takes
time to make somethihng work properly, and many different modes of
getting there. Tomas Edison for example, tried 2000 ways to make a
lightbuld, and found one way that worked. Patience and time will teach
you how to make the GUI function and how to make it work.

alright stop posting about my puncuation i dont really care i've always
typed like that and i always will and C++ programing is fun cuz u get to
dance around like a moron once your 50 line code finaly compiles and runs
without crashing

With the Resourcce Manager of VS 4.x RichEdit controls could not be used
directly. Load and create the window 'manually' in your code instead, which
would look like (for ANSI 8 bit chars ) :

#include <richedit.h>

LoadLibrary ("Riched20.dll");
CreateWindowEx ( 0, "RichEdit20A", ...);


I'm sure you figure it out,
Chris

omg.... i feel dumb now -_- it was only cuz i had this:

log = CreateWindowEx (
WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
"RichEdit",
"",
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_AUTOHSCROLL |
ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE | ES_NOHIDESEL |
WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | WS_BORDER | ES_WANTRETURN,
0,
100,
544,
275,
hwnd,
(HMENU)1,
hThisInstance,
NULL
);

insted of this:

log = CreateWindowEx (
WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
"RichEdit20A",
"",
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_AUTOHSCROLL |
ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE | ES_NOHIDESEL |
WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | WS_BORDER | ES_WANTRETURN,
0,
100,
544,
275,
hwnd,
(HMENU)1,
hThisInstance,
NULL
);

ohh and i frogot to load the dll :P thank you soo much

Maybe you are using aw_wait(-1) ? If yes, the AW SDK take for itself all
the thread time for it. your rich control is not refresh by the windows
system. You have 2 solutions for resolve it : make an aw_wait(20) inside
the windows callback loop (20 ms for exemple) or use a specific thread
for AW. I using Dev CPP 4.9.9.0 with the wxWidgets (better than windows
API for the GUI)

You should use 0 for aw_wait(), as any non-zero value will cause the GUI to block. As I understand it, the value of 0 will cause aw_wait() to just process immediately without blocking.

ok i got the richedit control to work and all but now i'm getting a wierd
reason code when it fails -_-
reason code 500 what is this error code and what causes it?

May 31, 2005, 9:31pm

oops sry i frogot to mention what it fails todo :P it fails to connect to aw
here's the connection code:

addline("Connecting....\n");
if (rc=aw_create("auth.activeworlds.com", 5670, 0))
{//5670,"auth.activeworlds.com"
sprintf(tempstr,"Unable to Connect (reason %d)\n", rc);
adderrline(tempstr);
//return 0;
}
else
addline("Connected...\n");

ok adderrline and addline are both helper functions i made to help with
writeing the log

Reason code 500 is RC_CANT_RESOLVE_UNIVERSE_HOST.

By the way, if you just want to get into the default universe aw_create(0, 0, 0) is sufficient.

You may need to check your DNS server to see if something is wrong if you are receiving RC_CANT_RESOLVE_UNIVERSE_HOST (500).

nopoint i dont get it on any of my other bots -_-

[View Quote] Timers are fine with a -1. Be careful with multi-threaded applications
with the SDK.

[View Quote] I need to ask you a small favor, please use decent grammar. I know it's
a pain but it really helps us to help you in the end.

Most programmers will be able to find errors in your code if they can
understand you. Also, link to a code file instead of copy and pasting.
(if you don't want to show the whole code just copy it to a new file and
show all related functions that are called -- use geocities to host it
or something)

[View Quote] For example , I have my GUI in the main thread and all AW operation are

For the aw_wait(x), I make a specific Thread who I can stop, pause and
resume in normal task priority.But in this specific thread, I don't use
the -1 value because it block my thread, so I use a time like 20 ms.
I'll test it with a 0 value, I'll tell you...

You have to call all SDK functions from the same thread. Although, you can
run the GUI or other working threads from another thread. It's up to the
application programmer to take care of IPC ( Inter Process Communication -
transfering data and issuing function calls inbetween threads of an
application ).
