Okay, Here is the "fix" to make the robots dumber in newbie mode. Modified newbie.c so that Merlin now sends in the robots and makes the robots read a command file before starting up. Modified INSTALL.Newbie with instructions on how to make such a command file and test it out. There's no limit on hm. You can put hm 100 and really watch the robots turn into dumb zombies. (Pretty boring actually) 2 patches here to keep my sanity. 1 for the changes in code. And 1 for the Changelog. I'm not sure I want to put in a news item, as this feature has been in the very first newbie server I have seen back 3+ years ago. The code somehow got lost. Jimmy P.S., next to write is the "ogg_pesky_humans" toggle in the robots, so people can turn it off ;-P. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
