Internet Mode Fix

Limitations of Visual Basic 6 left the standard Internet Mode with several bugs and it generally does not work very well because of this. To correct the problem, Sammeh put together a fix by way of a helper program.

Installation and Setup

  • Download the fix into the same directory as your Darwinbots executable.
  • Create two folders somewhere on your hard disk, they can be named anything you want, but for ease call one inbound and one outbound.
  • Inside Darwinbots, create a new teleporter (Objects->Teleporters->New Teleporter...)
  • Set the type to inbound, and then change the path to the location of the inbound folder you made earlier.
  • Create another teleporter, only set the type to outbound, and the path to the outbound folder you made.
  • Now run DBIMHACK.exe
  • Change the inbound and outbound paths to the ones you made.
  • Change the nickname to whatever you please (Your name on the forums would be good)
  • Press Start.
  • You now have a sim connected to the Internet, congratulations!

IRC Commands

There are also commands in our IRC channel that leverage the fix.

  •  !bots - Lists the number of bots in transit
  •  !online - Shows the active sims connected to IM
