Bot Questions - Loading dll

I'm making a plugin that when a mod pms it !host <event>, it will load the event plugin and go the the proper arena. When the event is done it unloads that event plugin and goes back to a priv arena. I was able to make it work by editing the core, but I want it to be a plugin. This is the code from the core in command.cpp, does anyone know what I need to do to make it work as a plugin.

Code: Show/Hide

if (h->imports->importLibrary(c.final))
      {
         String s;

         bool seen = false;

         for (int slot = 0; slot < DLL_MAX_LOADED; ++slot)
         {
            char *name = h->imports->getPlugin(slot);
            if (!name) continue;

            if (seen) s += ", ";
            s += name;
            seen = true;
         }

         h->botInfo.setSpawn(s.msg);
      }

Have you tried adding the bot to the operators list and have it priv message itself?

That would probably be the easiest, having it pm itself !load event

Talk to Catid. He could probably make an event for it.

did it work? I had trouble making a bot pm itself commands

I would suggest making the MERV core setup so it assumes a command from "self" is at full access level. This is safe as long as you trust your module builders.

All you have to do is make the bot login as sop to itself. Then it can pm itself commands.

Yes, but that's a silly way to do it. It means you have to add all bot names as ops. Every time you add more bots, you need to add them as ops. Bots should be ops by default.

to avoid dealing with operators.txt, add in the below 'me->access = OP_Owner;' line to spawn.cpp

Code: Show/Hide

case EVENT_ArenaEnter:
{
      arena = (char*)event.p[0];
      me = (Player*)event.p[1];
      bool biller_online = *(bool*)&event.p[2];

me->access = OP_Owner; // add this
}
break;

That looks ugly.

Ah but it really isn't.

It's actually a lot better than putting it in Operators.txt. Just get Catid to add it to the core, it's not that hard.

should do it in the constructor of the bot, rather than on arenaenter
