Finally Chazbot has reached enough maturity to be able to be called a
final release. Version 1.0 has a completely rewritten botmanagement,
whereby those in large, very populated worlds can decide to add as many
instances as their botlimit allows to spread the load amongst the other
instances by simply setting the maximum number of bots.
The bot calculates the event load on each instance and on that basis
swaps instances slower or faster to divide the incoming events over
them.On screen is shown what the current load per bot per timeunit is
with a minimum of 1 second. On that basis one can decide to add or take
away bots. All bots load under the same name making it seamless for the
visitor to talk with the bot whatever instance it is.

Also the main Chatwindow has been redesigned, making it more the
controlcenter of the bot, so only 1 window needs be open. The Chatwindow
now allows 2 way chatting in the same window which is now a full RTF
editor, so one gets WYSIWYG color/attributes setting for send chat.

Much more to read in the readme file.

Those who still have an install from more then 1 month ago do better to
reinstall a full installation.

Work in progress:
WorldMapper
Extending the point & click building
Terrain management

Hi,

Remember the golden rule: final is never final :)

In my 3 to 4 years xelagoting my bot (hehe) I found out that soon
enough. I hope and trust you will have a different attitude than AW's
finals (at least, since Roland left). Final is the beginning :)

Cheers and best of luck with your bot, the more good ones the merrier!

Alex

I agree that final is never final, I've made some programs marked for
Example: Version 0.4 Final and later I made 0.5 and 0.4 disappeared off the
face of the web

Final is only the final... until you start work on service pack 1 the minute
after...

Final is final if you uninstall all programming software and never re
install it
