For those of you who have ventured into SW City over the past few months, you may have noticed a city wide bot networked called [Scaranet].  This was in fact a lil’ bot that I programmed as an experiment to see how well I could program a bot.

What it does is it allows people in different places to communicate with each other. This is especially useful in places like Alphaworld which doesn’t allow global bots, or for inter-world communication or for people who want a private chat channel.

In what might as well be AW 4.2, build 973 was publically released just a few hours ago. This version is “the special effects” build, including graphical additions such as environment mapping (glossy surfaces), bump mapping, shadows, sub-rendered surfaces (projecting a camera feed on an object, aka poor-man’s reflective surfaces), dual texturing, and support for .x file formats intended for next-gen avatars.

See the AWiki for details.

AWE2 is finally now available. AWE2 features much higher res commonly used textures, improved objects, and a realistic skybox. See details here.
