I had to import the tables manually through SQL, and now bot's work a charm.

Copy the tables found here: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...09_30_bots.sql

Insert via SQL, close server and run a back up of the database. Restart, this is how i got bots functioning properly.

For some reason, the bot schema was not actually working on my end. So i did it all manually.

noob question: how do I copy those into an sql?

This tells me that you're using older code and that your database is probably ok:https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob.../bot.cpp#L1556

That's where a new bot is saved during the creation process.


If your code is saying that it can't find 'peq.botdata' .. then it's likely because it doesn't exist any more.

In your database, you should have at least `bot_data` .. and possibly `botdata_old` if you had run the older script previously.


You can check to see what tables you have using HeidiSQL/Navicat, or entering these queries on a mysql/mariadb command line:

in my Db i can find nothing related to bot.

If this is a new server, I would recommend updating to the latest source code, dropping your 'build' folder (or at least clearing the cmake cache) and re-running
cmake (don't forget to select the 'bots' checkbox), then re-compiling the latest source code.

Once that is done, copy the new binaries to your server folder and run eqemu_update.pl manually.


Select option 3 to update your database (requires selecting option 3 first to check for and queue updates, and then again to apply them.)

Select option 4 to install the new bots schema (queue and apply again.)


That should get you up to speed with the current server state.

How do I update to the latest ? Sorry

bumping this post

Did you manually install - per wiki instructions, use the msi or use the latest install script?
