+There is a module called sgcompat that creates command aliases from subgame commands to asss commands. To use the module add 'funky:sgcompat' to conf/modules.conf. Additionally, your bot may get silenced for sending multiple consecutive messages and commands. To fix this, add the line 'unlimitedchat' to the appropriate group the bot is in (e.g. groupdef.dir/mod). Lastly, bots that need to toggle objects may flood your screen with red error messages indicating an invalid toggle. You can fix this by adding either 'broadcastbot' or 'broadcastany' to the bot's respective group.
