Perhaps you could give a small description of what kind of a bot is needed.

Okay this is basicaly riped off of twbot's "standard module" but needed in merv. Im not much of a programmer but i know tw is java and merv is C++ i duno how hard it is to make it work out. Besides that cypher is gunna edit the Elim source once i get my hands on it. If i knew howto make tw-core work i would just use that but im illiterate to anything outside html
--------setships-------
!setship #-sets the ship to # 1-8 of all players
!setfreqship # #-the first # is the freq the second # is the ship
--------warp---------
!warp -just prizes a warp to everyone
!warpfreq # x y-warps freq # to certain x y coords
!warpall x y-warps everyone to certain x y coord
--------spec----
!autospec-well we all know what it does but i would like it in this category
!specplayer name #-specs specific player at # of deaths
!specfreq # #-specds a frq # at a number of deaths
-----freq------
!random #-if set !random 1 it makes everyone solo !random 2 makes teams of 2 ect.. to make it have teams of 2 say there 30 ppl you !random 15

Just some programming tips (I had nothing better to do and I dont want to do calculus homwork):
1. Dont use the String class all over the place, especially in places where you are looping through every player, example from the above bot: sendPrivate(parse->item,"*setship " + (String)num);
For every player it will need to remake that string, you can do this with just a character array. Ex: char msg[]="*setship ";(2 spaces, the forum cut them out)
msg[7]=num | 0x30; //i think its 30 hex, im too lazy to look it up.
Of course you need to make sure the ship number is between 1 and 8, which you did. Overall I recommend sprintf over the string class.
2. No return; in the middle of functions, ever.
3. sendPublic("*prize #" + (String)PRIZE_Warp);//thats just plain lazy
Ive never been a fan of player_tags but whever works.

Is there a sprintnf function that takes a maximum buffer length in addition to a char* and format string?

You mean snprintf?
Or for Windows, _snprintf?

Just do "msg[7] = '0' + num;" or something.
