Post subject: Bot Trouble

hello

I am having bot trouble

One of my Smods are using a MERV bot (from catid.sscentral.com) with the TM Mer 1.13 Plugin (lets u use Creds). I cant get the bot to prize the stuff

. he says "You have recieved a Burst!" (example) but it is not give. Below is one of the items i have put in the buy.ini file. maybe i done something wrong. any help?

[Item1]
Name=Burst
Description=Give you a Burst
Value=100
PrivAction1=*prize 22 ( i have tryied privaction1 and privaction0)
PrivAction2=You have recieved a Burst!
PubAction0=%name% bought a burst

Thanks,

Like, make sure your arena settings don't interfere, like, like, like maxbursts=0 would screw that up =P

Like, y'know? heheh

The same way you make people staff.
Always read the readme.txt

If you have validation checking on (in server.ini [Validation] section CheckMod=1 / CheckSMod=1 / CheckSysop=1), then just doing a "*smoderator" will not be enough. You will have to add the bot name to smod.txt / vip.txt . (Make sure you give the bot the power level the readme.txt says it will require)

This is a problem that arises all the time because it's easy to forget about the first several hundred times you use a bot

If you rule this out, come back and post some more.

isnt it funny how we can do all this from memory, and anyone else would be blown away even if it were referenced
and i popped into the zone. aparently its fixed.

u could just add the bots name to the sysop.txt then u add the sysop pass to the bots pass to let it enter then it might work i aint sure about this!!!
