ASSS Questions - Broadcast

When running a bot over ASSS, I keep getting flooded with the following error message :

M <objects> {0} [BotName] attempted rebroadcast without permission

According to objects.c, the bot would require the permission BROADCAST_BOT or BROADCAST_ANY in order to be able to toggle objects, but it doesn't state how to give a player/bot either of these permissions. Would anyone know how it's possible?

Bah nevermind, it just wasn't listed in the userguide. Here's the full list if anyone needs it:

On a non-bot related note, what could be causing the following error:

Code: Show/Hide

E <flagcore> {0} failed to place a flag at (512,512)-50, fallback disabled
E <flagcore> {0} failed to place a flag at (512,512)-50, fallback disabled

It seems to cause flags to spawn very awkwardly when the flags are reset (either when the arena is created or after a player wins the flaggame).

grep the source code for that message to figure out the conditions that trigger it

fg_wz.py states:

Code: Show/Hide

else:
   # couldn't place in original location, and couldn't place in
   # center either. this is really bad.
   lm.LogA(asss.L_ERROR, 'flagcore', a,
         ("failed to place a flag at (%d,%d)-%d, "
         "fallback disabled")% (cx, cy, r))

It's not very reassuring since there's nothing blocking the flags in the center of the map.

Edit: here's what I mean (dont mind my cont gfx though)
