Try `bot_data` last as most of the constraints are tied to the `bot_id` column there.

Ok so i was able to delete everything from the other tables and then delete the bot_data erasing the bots which is good. I came up with another issue though. Under Rule_values where u can limit the amount of bots people can have up at one time I set it to 1 and it is not working. Set at 1 people are still able to spawn multiple bots at the same time.

Make sure that the rule you are changing in the database is named 'Bots:SpawnLimit' exactly - no deviations in spelling.

"Bots:QuestableSpells", Anita Thrall's (Anita_Thrall.pl) Bot Spell Scriber quests.
"Bots:CreationLimit", Number of bots that each account can create
"Bots:SpawnLimit", Number of bots a character can have spawned at one time, You + 71 bots is a 12 group raid

"Bots:GroupBuffing", Bots will cast single target buffs as group buffs, default is false for single. Does not make single target buffs work for MGB.
"Bots:FinishBuffing", Allow for buffs to complete even if the bot caster is out of mana. Only affects buffing out of combat.
"Bots:AAExpansion", The expansion through which bots will obtain AAs

The `ruleset_id` also plays a role in this..though, I can never figure out which one is supposed to be active...

Code:

SELECT * FROM `rule_sets` LIMIT 1;

..returns "3", "merc_test" for me...

(Is this why rulesets are so hard to deal with?)

Mine says Bots:SpawnBotCount
And my rule_set is at 1

There's 8 rule name changes starting here: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...pdate.pl#L1119

You'll need to update the names to match what the server code uses.

Code:

        if(get_mysql_result("SELECT `rule_name` FROM `rule_values` WHERE `rule_name` LIKE 'Bots:BotAAExpansion'") ne "" && $db){

                print get_mysql_result("UPDATE `rule_values` SET `rule_name` = 'Bots:AAExpansion' WHERE `rule_name` LIKE 'Bots:BotAAExpansion';");

        }        

        if(get_mysql_result("SELECT `rule_name` FROM `rule_values` WHERE `rule_name` LIKE 'Bots:AAExpansion'") eq "" && $db){

                print get_mysql_result("INSERT INTO `rule_values` VALUES ('1', 'Bots:AAExpansion', '8', 'The expansion through which bots will obtain AAs');");

        }

It sounds like you have the old rule names in place..so, you should be able to just run the 8 UPDATE queries.

Still not sure why your install wouldn't register for the updater script.

Yea it seems my updates are not working very well through the updater for some reason. I have to manually source in everything.
is there a way to copy and paste that code without getting all the numbers

I got this when doing the query

SQL Error (1064): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'if(get_mysql_result("SELECT `rule_name` FROM `rule_values` WHERE `rule_name` LIK' at line 1 */

Remember, you just want the SQL portion of those lines.

Code:

print get_mysql_result("UPDATE `rule_values` SET `rule_name` = 'Bots:AAExpansion' WHERE `rule_name` LIKE 'Bots:BotAAExpansion';");

would be

Code:

UPDATE `rule_values` SET `rule_name` = 'Bots:AAExpansion' WHERE `rule_name` LIKE 'Bots:BotAAExpansion';

The outer 'wrapper' is the perl script - which doesn't run too well in MySQL :)

ok awesome that updated thanks.
so is this Bots:QuestableSpawnLimit a quest people can do to be able to use bots?
