Andras' World Monitoring Bot (3.6)   (4.1) for ActiveWorlds

Version 3.1.1 (10/10/2001)
Adjusted to the new SDK (still in beta version!!!).

Version 2.2.12 (2/23/2000)
New feature: Different Universe support.

Version 2.2.11 (2/22/2000)
New features:
    The bot can respond to an e-mail by sending back the available log data for the selected world. Useful for ppl with no 24/7 connection if someone has this feature enabled.

The mail retrieval procedure is as follows:
Someone sends an e-mail to the program's mailbox with a proper sender e-mail address and with the Subject line containing the particular world's EXACT name.
The program reads the e-mail and parses the Subject line for an exact match of a world name. If it finds one match, it creates a logfile and replies to the mail with this logfile as an attachment. The logfile name is the world name with the report date/time concatenated to it..
You can read that file into your local chkworld program by clicking on the "ReadOldLog" button for further examination.. To avoid autoreplies to spam or other malformed e-mails, the program discards all e-mail which doesn't match the exact world name in the subject line.

Parameter settings are as follows:

You have to specify the outgoing mail parameters of any mail features you want to use.
Mail From Name         - the name of the robot as it will appear on the "Sent from" field on the mail.
MailFromAddress        - the e-mail address of the bot (used as a return address)
MailTo Address            - is the e-mail address where you expect the message received (preferably your e-mail account)
Outgoing Mail User Name - some mail servers requires a valid username on it to accept the mail sent by the bot.
Outgoing Mail Server        - is the Mail Server's URL

To act as a data server for other users you have to fill out the Incoming parameters:
POP3 MailBox name:    - your username/mailbox name on the server which will be read by the program
POP3 User Password:    - you know what it is for :)
POP3 Server URL         - is the server where the program finds the MailBox.
Enable remote request    - check this box if you (or others) wish to retrieve data from the program.
Automatic mail read:        - check this one so the program will check the POP server for new mail regularly based on the "Frequency" parameter.
Leave Message on Server:    - if you want to retrieve the messages later from another mail client.
 

Version 2.0.11 (2/21/2000)
    Password save/restore bug fixed

Version 2.0.10 (2/19/2000):

The program's objective is to help World owners or anyone else to monitor certain world's popularity.
This is a Robot - based on the AW SDK Build 15.
Usage and distribution of this program is free but reverse engineering is not allowed :)

The bot logs into the Universe only so no World bot restrictions apply.
The very first run (or if the chkworld.ini file is missing) the program asks for some basic parameters you need to provide, like Citizen number and Privilege Password for the robot, e-mail parameters if the user wants to use the mailing feature of the bot.
The list of worlds to be monitored is on the right side. Double click on an item or hit the Insert key to add worlds to the list. If you highlight an item and hit the Delete key - the selected world is deleted from the list.

The parameters can be reset by pressing the "Set Parameters" button.

ReadOldLog Button:    - You can read a previous log file into the memory and the bot will start logging from where the previous file ended.
You can select which date range are you interested to read with the dialog.

Login Button:                - click here to make the bot log into the Universe, start monitoring the worlds on your list and log the data to a fresh file.
CheckNow Button:        - Click to check the status of monitored worlds.

MonitorCharts Button:    - Click for a graphical interpretation of the number of visitors in the monitored Worlds.

Chart a World  Button:    - Click to graph a particular world not in the monitored world list.

NOTE:: By double clicking on a chart you can save it as a bitmap for later use.

SendMail  Button:        - Will send an e-mail about the status of the monitored world to the specified e-mail address.

All AW:     The number contains the total number of visitors in all the worlds within the AW Universe.

Monitored:    The total number of Visitors in the monitored worlds.

Each item in the World list has a checkbox next to it which marks the world if it is running.
If the E-mail feature is enabled, the program will send the "To" address an e-mail stating if one of the monitored world's status changes (like a world stopped or started). Also, the program will send an e-mail if it can not query the Universe Server.

Look Up Cit  Button:    - Click to get a name-cit# or a cit# - name resolution. (Just a little "Why Not" feature :) )

    Fill in the Citizen Number field, hit enter and you'll get the Citizen Name field filled
or
    Fill the Citizen Name field, hit enter and you'll get the Citizen Number field filled.

Translate CitColor File  - the program can read the builders.lst file generated by mapview and update it to the current user names. Use with care !
