DM has a nifty prob() proc for this:
if(prob(60)) // 60% of the time, do this:
  usr << "Yes"
else
  usr << "No"

What is a good site to get sounds like beeps and honks and stuff =P

Been a while since I've checked it in depth, but the best sound effects site I found was this:

http://www.flashkit.com/soundfx/

They have a very good selection of sounds, all free.

How do i make it so only so much letters can be in one line of text?
if(length(line)>200)
  line=copytext(line,1,201)  // only use the first 200 characters

How do i set macros from in the game?

Been a while since I've tried to mess with this, but I believe it's something like:
client
  macro
    ....

The reference has more information, though I think it's a little sketchy in that regard for beginners. Shadowdarke would be a good person to ask, since he uses macros extensively in Tanks.
