From ASSS Wiki
My website http://toktok.sscentral.com/ has some ASSS and MERVBot plugins with source code. There is also some other misc stuff related to SubSpace.

Misc ASSS 'you should know this'
- In the packet callbacks the buffer has been allocated plenty of space, so you can read past the indicated length safely.
- When using amalloc() it will set the memory to all 0's for you.
- When using per-arena/player data that is also all 0'd for you.
- adkey and pdkey are often used as the arena data and player data keys respectively
- Functions with names_like_this() are probably local (ASSS uses local inplace of the static keyword)
- Functions with NamesLikeThis() are probably from an interface
- All your base are belong to us
- The ShipChange callback is broken, despite several requests for grel to fix it
- game_timer/Misc:TimedGame is not fully supported yet (shh)
- The default modules.conf doesn't have scoring:points_periodic, objects or messages
- *arena has been changed to ?a, *log to ?lastlog [<lines>] [<filter>] and esc+c with ?quickfix [<filter>]
- There is a glitch called lag coma where reliable packets get stuck (30+ players?)
- Downloads do take longer than subgame (needs tweaking)
- Autowarp/moveto does screw up your aim

some notes on soccer:capturepoints
capturepoints: positive each goal starts with this many tokens scoring a goal takes a token from the enemy goal and puts it in your goal win by all enemies having 0 tokens enemy has no tokens left: <team goal!> 'Enemy goal had no points to give.' <arena ?score> capturepoints: negative when you have this many tokens you win (soccer game over) each goal starts with 0 tokens scoring a goal gives you (team/freq) 1 token capturepoints: non-zero all modes except mode0: output from ?score sent to whole arena on goal end of game message: (ding) 'Soccer game over.' capturepoints: zero just reward points given ?score does not work game never ends ?score: mode0, mode3, mode4, mode5, mode6 SCORE: Team0:%d Team1:%d Team2:%d Team3:%d SCORE: Warbirds:%d Javelins:%d Spiders:%d Leviathans:%d ?score: mode1, mode2 SCORE: Evens:%d Odds:%d SCORE: Warbirds:%d Javelins:%d special case: mode0 just reward points given no tokens lost or gained game never ends special case: mode1, mode2 freq's are odds/evens, so spider = warbird etc.
