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 (For ease of use, it can actually be anywhere).
- 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 DarwinbotsIM.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)
- Check to make sure a Darwinbots process is selected (the drop down box)
- 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
