| With the upgrade of the Activeworlds program to version 7.0 (in january 2021 ), there can compatibity problems with some bots, Chris (#290065) has posted in the forum the necessary files, to keep the bots functional: |
| See AWForum : |
* Teamwork / Activeworlds 7 |

| Server development kit |
| |
| Older version of bot programs likeYASBB and Preston may not work properly, or work slowly or could crash. As an option, you can replace the aw.dll -file that is needed to start up the bot program with the most recent version of aw.dll |
| The aw.dll can be found in the AW SDK (server development kit) |
| Activeworlds.com/sdk/download.htm |
| The latest SDK version is version 134 (available since january 2021) |
| |
For windows users , there are 4 download zip-files available :
| awsdkcom134 |
( 32 bit ) |
| awsdkcom134x64 |
( 64 bit ) |
| awsdk134 |
( 32 bit ) |
| awsdk134x64 |
( 64 bit ) |
|
| A lot of older bot programs were created a long time ago, they used 32 bit. |
| |
| We will look now , for each bot program , how to get the bot started |
| Most bot problems still work, it's just that a recent .dll -file makes them work better. |

Chkworld |
doesn't work anymore |
version 7.0 |
|
| |
| Chkworld has been created byAndras(#106479). The bot is not available anymore on the internet. The bot was a world monitor bot. With the bot, you can view the activity (of visitor) per world over a certain period of time, also of the entire universe . |
| |
| Startup of the bot Chkworld : |
| After replacing the aw.dll file, the bot makes connection and will appear in your world as 1 extra user. But the functionality of the bot does not work anymore : the bot can't show anymore the entire worlds list , like you used to see in the past (=a decade ago). |
| And you won't be able to have an activity chart report like you used to have in the past. The only thing that works is that you will have a logfile of the visitors that entered into your world, but not in a chart. |
| * Using bots with universe features was possible a decade ago, but Activeworlds has disabled this possibility. Bot-networks can still be used in private worlds, but not for public worlds. Universe features can be used by universe administrators only. |
|
 |
| Activity chart of in the AW-Europe universe on 5 july 2010. You could see the activity of each world that you wanted. |
