Hi,

I recently purchased MS Visual Basic 6 for the sole purpous of creating bots
in active worlds. Would anyone be willing to provide me with a working bot
script in a Format that I can open in VB that just logs a bot into AW.

Also is there anyone that can provide me with lists of commands and how to
use them with the SDK...

Best of all if there is anyone willing to give me proper lessons on creating
bots with VB and provide all of the above, please contact me.

I would be very greatfull indeed :o)

Thanks,

-Gamer

why is it almost everyone who gets vb doesnt buy the instruction book for it?
wouldnt that be easier than getting people to help you over the internet?

Here you find the SDK description : http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/
The pages are all below this path so you can use a download manager
to make an offline copy from it.

Hint to Facter :

What about a complete zipped version ?
The links seem all to be relative to this path so it should be
easy to do.

For some reason I remember downloading it once before. Can't seem to find it now, though :/

That's exactly what I used, but I think it would not be a bad idea
to have it in one piece. TPP is no freeware.

i meant visual basic in general.. you cant use vb if you dont have a book to
teach you it....
im not trying to be mean or anyhting but you will never be able to program bots
by getting your freinds to teach you vb as good as getting a book that lets you
simply look up something in the index if you need help and lets you learn at
your own pace rather than when your freinds are on....

I dont have a book, and most of it I figured out on my own or i had help with.
You cant assume you need a book to learn anything, are you a teacher or something?
Cuz most teachers Ive meet think that.

well i started out with a book then taught myself on my own and use the book as a
reference. but im STILL having friends ask me simple things like how to get stuff from
a text box 2 years after they first started which shows how slow you move without at
least something next to you when you need help

Perhaps if you read one of the gazillions of VB books out there you'd see
(a) why other people buy them and (b) what you can really do with VB. You
don't know how much you don't know ... and you're not going to find out
unless you listen to/read from people who DO know ... hence the existence of
reference/tutorial books.

If you just work it out on your own without the reference material, you're
gonna produce shit. Only a fool would believe otherwise. Its rediculous for
you to say that you don't need a "qualified" teacher on a subject ... be
that a person who knows the RIGHT answers (i.e. a tutor) or a book written
by such a person.

yep.....I'm buying "Learn Visual Basic 6.0 Now!" from Amazon.co.uk tonight.
Its the best and highest rated book out there and is written and published
by one of the Microsoft Programmers that created VB...

Thanks all for ur input in this string...but withthe book on the way and
Uncle Azazael helping with SDK stuff...I think I've got it covered...

Take Care all,

I taught myself VB, and never read a single book, and I hope that I
don't produce trash...

I used a book, but learned a lot on my own, what I never could find on my
own I looked up.

| I dont have a book, and most of it I figured | out on my own or i had help

Trekker, Grimble is right, you know little and you claim you learned most by
yourself? You ask me a question almost everyday. You didn't know this:

List1.Text = "whatever"
' Nothing in list
Respond = List1.ListIndex
MsgBox Respond

What does the message box say? (-1)

I had to tell you what the numbers meant b/c you never learned how to use
Lists.

| You cant assume you need a book to learn | anything, are you a teacher
or something?
| Cuz most teachers Ive meet think that.

You of all people need to get a book. THEN and only then can you come say
that you know a lot. YOU do need a book, I really don't have the time to
answer common knowledge questions all the time. (sorry Brant, I know I ask
you a lot)
