I'm thinking it could be possible, as mervbot makes a .dll which an asss module could comunicate with.

so like set up all the necessary callbacks for all of merbot's events and just send the dll what the core would normally send it. Then when the plugin's talking to the core, listen and change those to the appropriate server actions.

So like when a plugin does sendPublic("*arena hello!");

it's actually doing

tell(makeSay(MSG_Public, snd, 0, "*arena hello!"));

makeSay creates a BotEvent struct, which is sent to the core

couldn't ASSS receive this struct, decode it and translate it into a chat message... relize it starts with *arena and make it

chat->SendArenaMessage(arena,"hello!");

if something like this was made then asss could use all the mervbot plugins that have been around for years

Catid has said this is possible ages ago.

If I remember correctly, Catid said that he MIGHT code an ASSS-module to do that somtime in the future if it's necessary.

Making ASSS manipulate the DLLs, since they are built object-oriented, might be a little painful. Then again, I've never tried accessing an OO DLL with C.

Well, like cypher said, MERV works, so who cares?

Although, this would allow porting of premade plugins to ASSS much easier, I'd imagine..

Why is that a problem?

Merv can use ".","!" and "@", too.

the commands arent written into the plugins with the or . or @ in them. So theoretically you can prepend them with anything else.
