Post subject: TW MER /!buy <item> doesn't work? What is wrong?

Well I said I was using TW MER and it seemed to be working. Well It was partially. The default setting worked, whick only included buying points for 6000 creds. However, when I finally figured out the right format to list the store items that is when the problems started.

I can get the store inventory to list with the /!buy command, however when I go to buy and item from the store nothing happens. So I have included the buy.ini file for everyones perusal. If there is something wrong please let me know!

Except for the points, all of the buying actions can be accomplished through the [Cost] settings in the arena config (.cfg file). I'd suggest using that and not a bot.

About the points, I have no clue why it isn't working. The bot just doesn't reply? Can you see if the bot used the *points command on the console? Does anything happen at all?

I tried the *points command ingame, and zip.... It didn't even know I typed the command I don't think!

Were you/is the bot logged in as sysop?

And anyway, buying points seems rather silly to me. You get credits for kills/goal but you also get points for kills/goals. Why not just get more points in the first place?

Yeah, *points is a sysop command.
