Convert Logbot so it uses *sendto instead of *kill

Description

Getting kicked out of the server is annoying and not necessarily, a simple move to a different arena would suffice.

The *sendto command is a dangerous command, it can easily let the server crash when given the wrong parameters.

I can understand that I will not be allowed to test this out on the TW Dev Zone, a crash could easily follow from a slight mistake in the *sendto command. Therefor I will test it out on my personal test server.

What command the server uses as *sendto command depends on whether the Fix.dll has been altered or not. Therefor the bot *sendto command will be renameable through the logbot.cfg file.
(The Fix.dll in the server is editable with a simple hex editor. Making it easy for anyone to rename this command.)

The command isn't altered at the TW Dev zone. It can be used the same way as it can be used in TW. A successful implementation of the *sendto command can be found in the bouncerbot.

I don't think it serves much purpose to make the used *sendto command renameable in the logbot.cfg because it should always stay the same.

Thanks for pointing me at the bouncerbot.

According to the logs the *sendto command is getting ignored on TW Dev Zone.

According to RiiStar it might be renamed in the Fix.dll, thats why I thought a renameable *sendto command in the cfg's might come in handy.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to fixed

Added option to use *sento instead of *kill
(Exactly the same as it is used in bouncerbot.)

Enabled realtime logging on default, so the arenas do get protected realtime.

*sendto command is configurable
