Is it possible to let the bot perform the '?commands'?

I tried !say ?away The bot is currently away. But not the bot said it but me. The chatline that appeared looked like this:

Doggeti>!say ?away The bot is currently away

What can I do to let the bot use these commands?

Yes, bots can use server commands, but it is disabled in MERVBot for security reasons.
And ?away is not a real command(you just type it like a command), which is why it does not work with bots.

A few things, such as ?away, ?ping, ?time, ?crown, ?flags, ?team, etc are local commands that Continuum does for you. So in other words, means you have to add it to your bot if you want it.

I think I understand the problem but what are the server-commands continuum uses and which must be added to the bot?

Nothing must be added to support server commands, just the security block must be removed. Altough then anyone who can make the bot !say something can mess up the zone...

Oh, thats no problem. For the next time I will be the only one to have control over the bot. So where can I turn off the security block?

Well, you'll have to recompile the exe to do it. It should be in command.cpp, just find the entry for the !say command there and remove the checking for commands.

Problem! I don't have a Compiler.

You can probably get Dev C++ to do it, as you arent doing a .dll.
