If you want to start using bots , this is what you need to know first. |
|
1. Paying credits (per simultaneous bot use ) |
In Activeworlds you need to pay credits for using a bot. For this you need to click upon the dollar-icon in the toolbar ,where a menu will appear. First you need to purchase credits and with those credits you can buy 1 or several bots.. If you have bought a world, then there is no bot included , most world owners use a bot for making a backup of their worlds. If you buy 1 bot then you can use all bot programs with it . If we speak about buying 2 bots, then we mean for using the 2 bots simultaneously, with the bot program of your choice for each bot. The credits that you pay is a 1 time fee, you don't need to pay for it year after year. Prices (in credits) in 2015 , indicated as "bot limits": |
1 bot |
210 credits |
2 bots |
400 credits |
3 bots |
570 credits. |

2. Citizen number and Privilege password. |
Go in the AW menu to Options - Citizen. Here you can find your citizen number. And here you can also enter your privilege password. For most bot programs, this password is required when starting up the bot. |
The privilege password is also used for Caretakers.For instance as a teacher in AWSchool , citizens can log in with that privilege password and cleaning up the teaching area.And a world owner , if you give other people your privilege password , then those people get the same rights as the world owner. But be careful to who you give it !! The privilege password has nothing to do with bot rights : if someone wants get bot rights in your world, then he/she does not need your privilege password for that. |

3. Port number of the universe |
If you want to start up a bot, then you need to type the port number of the universe. This port number is different for every universe and galaxy. For Activeworlds, in a lot of cases , you don't need to enter the port number for most bot programs, but in some cases it is needed. |
