Xelagot 3.501 available // BotsxelagApr 11, 2004, 12:26pm
Happy Easter sunday!

You forgot the Mega cell limit again, new in build 64 of the world server.
Mega is 5000 bytes. -Ep0ch [View Quote] xelagApr 12, 2004, 3:09am
There is a problem with the cell data limit:
1) the SDK pages do NOT mention a change there 2) testing now, I find that world build 57, which accepts a cell limit of 5000 (go to av02 and check), the 531 browser does not show this, although the new SDK does report it properly. World 64 is accepted ok by the browser with a Mega cell limit (see Xelagon) 3) in older worlds, the SDK allows to set 5000, even if its not allowed, and things go wrong at world and SDK reporting level So I forgot nothing, it simply has not been properly implemented and documented, even if the 531 browser has 5000 Mega. I will investigate this further, thanks Ep0ch. Seems typical of what is happening lately for the past 3 or 4 months with the beta: no proper info or updates.

Not just the beta, the whole sdk. I have to check Aw.h if I need a parameter
that isnt on the sdk docs like AW_WORLD_REPEATING_GROUND. They really need to document it better. -Ep0ch [View Quote] sweetsApr 14, 2004, 3:14am
when I change the limit to Mega using the xelagot, I noticed when I checked
by aw browser (still have 3.4) that it had switched from Huge to Normal and the building inspector still was screaming.. I changed it back to Huge and tried again through the bot and it again changed to Normal.. Is this Normal? LOL .....do I trust the Xela at Mega or AW at Normal?... sweets starfleet starfleetApr 14, 2004, 3:32am
Not much point with 5000, that gives maybe 4 more objects, it needs to be
put to 8000+ to make any difference. [View Quote] xelagApr 14, 2004, 10:37am
That is how the 3.4 AW browser behaves because it does not know Mega.
Use the 3.5 latest browser 531 in a world server 64 (world server 57 is included in the bot as having Mega by mistake, will be corrected in a future version).

ok zeofax must tell you I read it and read it and still is chinese to
me.....3.5 latest browser 531 in a world server 64 (world server 57 LOL sorry folks but although I have run bots and world for many years I do not even recognize any of these numbers or have any idea what anyone is talking about (ok flame me for being dumb is ok LOL) Do I leave it on the AW browser as Huge? or do I change it to Mega using the bot then leave the aw browser at Normal when it is switched.....sorry but that is all I need to know without a batch of numbers..... sweets xelagApr 14, 2004, 10:53pm
Sorry Sweets, if you don't know about numbers, just leave it at what
it was. The maximum setting you can use if you are blonde and things don't work is Huge, Mega is not for blondes. Set it back to Huge in either the browser or bot, and pay for the best :) Alex On 14 Apr 2004 17:02:03 -0500, "sweets" <stylecanin at hotmail.com> [View Quote] >ok zeofax must tell you I read it and read it and still is chinese to >me.....3.5 latest browser 531 in a world server 64 (world server 57 >LOL sorry folks but although I have run bots and world for many years I do >not even recognize any of these numbers or have any idea what anyone is >talking about (ok flame me for being dumb is ok LOL) >Do I leave it on the AW browser as Huge? or do I change it to Mega using the >bot then leave the aw browser at Normal when it is switched.....sorry but >that is all I need to know without a batch of numbers..... >sweets > xelagApr 14, 2004, 10:55pm

not exactly sure about that blond comment, I am a very dark brunette. Was
also a Maths/Science major in College. I worked many years on a cord switchboard for a large hospital and then was head of Telex and TeleCommunications for a large insurance company for 10 years. Yes even back with Ticker Tape. I dialed to connect to other computers in other cities by dialing a rotary dial before internet was born. I saw the birth of the fax and photocopier and not only ran them but was in charge of the department. Then the birth of the PC, computers entered our lives full force. BUT we were never expected to fix or even understand how these things were programmed, made, we were operators. So yes although I have intelligence and knowledge not all of us are tech. But we are not completely stupid. When my tv breaks I take it to the shop. When the computer breaks I take it to the shop. I kind of expect AW to work properly, if not aw should take it to the shop LOL not expect us to try fixing it. You have marvelous bots and they work well. Many years we have used them and found them both functional and fun. But when I look at a script, I am completely lost. Sorry I am not blond, but an old fashioned girl. LOL expect when flip a switch everthinng will run the way it is supposed to. I think Bot makers are fantastic, yes, but if I asked you maybe about the dental work of a dog, which is my profession, could you do as well? *grins Anyway I really do thank you for your help and until I hear anything from aw (or by lurking) will leave it at Huge...But please remember not all of us are blond (and shame on you for such prejudism anyway), it just is not our field of expertise : ) sweets sweetsApr 15, 2004, 2:03am
ok one question....heh why are my letters going to 3 places when I am
writing to bots oh man *flips blond hair and smiles at Alex believe me I feel dumb now but what am I doing wrong here LOL so I can stop doing it?? sweets lady nighthawkApr 15, 2004, 8:07am
You are simply replying to posts that are on three sections of the NG ...
not your fault LOL. As to *blonde* perhaps Alex is thinking of me, I like to claim *blonde status* (for which I am btw, although not Platinum LOL) when I do something silly or don't know things that others think I should. It's a good excuse, nice to be able to blame something LOL. I could say I'm scatter brained, or haven't got a clue but heck ... most people know what those mean. Now *blonde* ... some actually hafta ask me what that means LOL. And it really means nothing cause not all blondes are dumb, hair color doesn't determine your intelligence ... hasn't got anything to do with it ... but some folks take that comment and run with it so whatever makes em happy!

now that I understood...thanks Alex....was confused because world server
says at top build 57 and yet when look in the 'about' there it says build 13 (and that was loaded 3 months ago)....I have 3.4 browser and my partner 3.5 but see aw as build 498 (not sure what hers is) but by the bot says sdk build 37 and on bot browser says on entry is Activeworlds. build 51, Universe build 51.....none of these numbers seemed to match anything anyone was saying.....LOL can kind of see why I got confused. Thanks much for the help and the explanation. Makes a bit more sense now *groans sweets PS: did I ever tell you I hate computers?? LMAO.....PEACE : ) |
