Well, it's been hovering on the verge of completion for a long time now, and it's finally here. BRenBot 1.52 includes a lot of bug fixes and changes, and also comes with a new automatic update client which can download and install future updates to BRenBot and any compatible plugins you have installed.
Downloads are available from http://new.brenbot.com/, which will also soon have plugins available for download. Please note that if you are already running BRenBot you can simply download the BrLoader client at the bottom of the downloads page, which will offer to update BRenBot to 1.52 when you run it. However it is recommended that you use the full installers if you wish to install any of the extras that are included in the installers as well (such as BIATCH, SSGM, BRenBot.dll, updated plugins etc)
Hopefully this release should go smoothly, as I have spent the last few hours testing the installer, but you never really know, so as always I strongly recommend you create a manual backup of your files before installing the update.
If you experience problems running 1.52 I suggest disabling any plugins other than those included with the 1.52 installer, and trying again, as older plugins may cause problems or even crash under 1.52 due to some necessary changes in the plugin interface. Updated versions of all my plugins will be available on the BRenBot website shortly. Also note that BrLoader CANNOT update older plugins as they do not register themselves in the BRenBot database.
Official changelog for 1.52 (Since 1.50.2)

Starting credits is a general setting in the serevr config ini file in your data folder.
<time></time>
<mines></mines>
<vehicles></vehicles>
<donatelimit></donatelimit>
<rules></rules>
These are the mapsettings options.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I think that's what Caveman's mIRC script functions from what I gathered from his post.
