| Welcome to Chazbot's home page. Check What's New regarding Chazbot. Check Update News for the latest updates. Chazbot is an Active Worlds bot build around the SDK DLL as supplied by ActiveWorlds inc. It's major feature is that it performs most worldmanagement tasks, acts as a GateKeeper, Greeter, Tourguide, Weather&Lighting, Universe, Unlimited Interworld ChatRelay using tcp/ip protocol, Remote control of the bot and various other functions without the need for external scripting. As such is an ideal tool for those world owners in need of one or more of those functions but don't have the time, inclination or knowhow to script a bot themselves. The bot offers the ability to divide the load over multiple botinstances. Default all functions run on one instance, but should you suffer from event misses,dropouts or other speed related issues you can add a botinstance on at a time up till your botlimit. There is no limit to the number of instances in the bot other then your system can bear. Once other instances are added the bot will divide the load over those instances by rotating the botinstance through a timed interval in rest and dividing based on instance load in action. The bot does text to speech Chat based on the MS Speechapi. The installation contains Speechapi 4. You can set the bot to speak out only the chat which contains your name. Handy if your screens are hidden and someone wants to draw your attention. The bot has a configurable DLL usage. That way you can choose which aw.dll from which build to use. Features not supported by the aw.dll build you choose obviously will be ignored. The bot is operated through a GUI. All functions can be finetuned to your needs using easy to use dialogs. Once setup the bot does not need further maintenance. Chazbot keeps all it's information in a database, the bot therefore can store any kind of number of visitors, bot definitions and all other necessary data. Chazbot has been developed using Borland CBuilder Enterprise v6.0, sp4. Additionally a third party library has been used: LMD-Tools which enhances and expands the Borland VCL. The underlying database is BorlandDatabaseEngine, using the Paradox tableformat. As Chazbot incorporates so many functions and features it's download is bigger then you may be used to in a bot. The initial download is around 14 mb and updates will be around 5 mb. Of the 14 mb about 6 mb consists of the multiuser database engine, which only needs to be installed once.2 mb consists of actual written code, the remainder consists of the Borland VCL and the LMD-Tools VCL, which also need to be installed once. The download on this site contains the release version 1.0 of this bot An update is available here. When you have installed the bot, you can use the Update function of the bot for automatic or manual updating. Please report any problems to (if any :) [Petrossa], try to give as much information as possible to reproduce the problem. Building Chazbot took a lot of hard work, and expense.
