Can someone make me a MervBot plugin that will issue the *shutup command to everyone in the arena when there is only a certain amount of players in the arena it is in and has an in-game function to set the # of players to be in arena for when it sends the *shutup command to everyone?
I need this because some bots tend to send mesages when there is nobody in the arena and it floods the server logs.
Would someone be generous enough to make this plugin to MervBot for me please? |

It would be your bot if you programmed it, but my idea though. You can try to take the credit for the idea, but everyone on these forums will know otherwise. |

Why not add this feature built into the bot (assuming you have access or know someone who has access to the source)? Optionally, you could not log *arena messages if that is what is spamming the server logs. |

Sorry, I filed a patent for this bot 17 years ago. If either of you makes it, I will sue you.
Optionally, I will license the technology to you for 50$/mo.

Why use *arena messages for that? Just use public messages. Since I imagine itll be formated (and probably more than one line) itll stand out by itself. You dont need it to be green. _________________ There are 7 user(s) ignoring me right now. |

Also, Continuum has only been out only around 10 years.
Anyways, anyone willing to make this plugin? |

how about make another plugin that PM's !load and !unload to its own to toggle the bot on/off. Would be far better then using *shutup lol.
Both are ridiculous though. As Cyan said, the problem is with the plugin. |

IF the bot is SYSOP wouldn't the server ignore the *shutup? |

Then just dont make it sysop. Unless it is needed to run the bot. Some are. |

But once a sysop shutup's himself, it's permanent. This will obviously not work with one spawn (and two is ridiculous). Edit the code or something, Donkano. |
