Well i just have a few questions, first of all...
If i have this:

public void handleCommand( String name, String message, String playerName ){
if( message.startsWith( "!ban ")){
m_botAction.sendUnfilteredPrivateMessage( playerName, "*kill 283892" );
}
}

How can i get this to work? It does not do anything when i type !ban in game. No errors are reported when i compile the coding either.

Also, how can i get the bot to send someone text from a txt or cfg?

Like !staff and you read from a file and send the text from there.

would it be something like:

...} else if( message.startsWith( "!staff" )){
m_botAction.send[w/e goes in here]
}
}

Just incode the !staff in a merv bot. Instead of writing it in java.

Check out the stuff here for basics on how I structure commands in my bots when not using the command interpreter.

Code: Show/Hide

public void handleCommand( String name, String message, String playerName )
{
if( message.startsWith( "!ban "))
m_botAction.sendUnfilteredPrivateMessage( playerName, "*kill 283892" );
}

When I see this, I wonder if your handleCommand method ever gets called because I have never seen one that takes three parameters. How did you obtain the value to pass as playerName? It's also possible that the name is invalid so it gets sent to nobody. What I would do (haven't tested this) is more along these lines:

Code: Show/Hide

public void handleCommand( String name, String message)
{
if( message.startsWith( "!ban "))
if(message.length() > 5)
{
   Player p = m_botAction.getPlayer(message.substring(5));
   if(p != null)
   m_botAction.sendUnfilteredPrivateMessage(p.getPlayerID(), "*kill 283892");
   else
   m_botAction.sendPrivateMessage(name, "Invalid Player");
}
}

Hope this helps.
