Weeeel, if you are totally bored, you could duplicate area2's bot into ASSS. If you are up to it, i can give you CVS access to all the Hyperspace MERV sources.

NOTE: I don't think you will do this, but i was just pointing it out

What about a module than can load/run MERV plugins? Converting *arena to *a and things like that automatically.

ill look into it, ive mailed Catid. Im not sure what his take on the usability of modules is, and whether he will continue (i assume he will) support MERV.

I've been thinking about a digipet module with lvz, you give it a name and feed it and stuff. When you kill, score etc. you get money to buy more toys/lvz for it.
You could either have the thing in public so the lvz stay throughout the subarenas, or have it in an subarena but have the money earning zone wide (just without those annoying "you've earned 2 gold" messages all the time).

I thought of other stuff after posting, you can train the "pet" and go into pub, summon it and use it as an auto-turret, or base anchor (for a certain time only, of course). Also you could "walk" the pet by just making a follow-bot type thing. Anyway, it's just an idea (plus the batteries never need changing), it may help to increase zone population too because players have to come back to feed their pet (or it dies, noo).

Of course, it just costs a shitload more to use it. Computer, electricity, bandwidth, etc, but just THINK of the money you'll save in batteries!
