!useradd <name> superadmin
If that fixes it we'll need to look into how bot.conf is being added. There has been changes made to the security and security groups in-game and perhaps bot.conf doesn't correctly put users there.
I haven't looked at that code eiter, so I might be mistaking.
If that does not fix it open modules/Bid.php and check that the constructor looks like this:
/*
Constructor:
Hands over a referance to the "Bot" class.
*/
function Bid (&$bot)
{
$this -> bot = &$bot;
$this -> bid = "";
$this -> bot -> accesscontrol -> create('tell', 'bid', 'MEMBER');
$this -> bot -> accesscontrol -> create('gc', 'bid', 'MEMBER');
$this -> bot -> accesscontrol -> create('pgmsg', 'bid', 'MEMBER');
$this -> help['description'] = "Handles auctions using raid points";
$this -> help['command']['bid start <item>'] = "Starts an auction for <item>. <item> can be text or an item ref.";
$this -> help['command']['bid <points>'] = "Bid <points> raid points for the item currently on auction.";
$this -> help['command']['bid info'] = "Shows information about the current auction.";
}
Also check that you aren't using any custom modules (ie got a custom/modules/Bid.php) as they are most likely not updated for the new help system. To make them compatible copy the lines that read $this -> help... from the official module into the constructor of the custom module.
Edit: And finally when you do "svn update" it should (atleast it does in the *nix version) state which version it updates to. Which version is that?
Hope that helps.
