With the stupid new pricing scheme banner ads would never be able to pay up
for cits, you'll have a hard time getting enough revenue off them as the
e-advertising market is right now (you'd have to find something a bit more
innovative to get a good revenue right now). You don't need to have bots
approved by AW, and they can't really use their time on approving bots,
they've got bigger issues on their hands (ok, so Ricky & JP would probably
don't mind having fun playing around with bots all day, but anyways...).
Just download bots from places that seem thrustworthy, and that are
recognized if you're affraid of trojans, most bot programmers are honest
people that wouldn't dream of writing evil trojans (with the new encryption
the trojans can't do a lot either). Start out with easy to use bots like
HamBot & Co ( http://www.hamfon.com ), Preston ( http://www.imabot.com ) and
Xelagot ( http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/ ). Then go looking for other bots
(you can subscribe to the Bots NG for example), like the bots I've made,
available at http://home.no.net/kahbot/ (I know the design is HORRIBLE, new
one will come pretty soon). An important thing is that AW does not have an
object compiler! I guess you're referencing to the object properties window,
which only changes the property of an object (or duplicates/deletes one).
Many people would like to see bots integrated into the browser as plugins, I
think it's an OK idea, but right now it's not really that much extra work to
launch a bot from your startmenu or desktop... For the avatars thing, I
recommend starting your own OP and using one of the multiple OP tools
currently available, allowing you to add as many avatars as possible to your
world. Even though your 3DHP was, lets say, founded by the AWC artists it's
your world now, their only responsponsability is to continue hosting the
world and the OP, not to provide you with additional content. You've got to
provide that yourself, I recommend reading through
