Hello everyone
I am currently 65, hunting Sirens for velious gems, and I have new remarks and questions about the bot system.
- Dispell : I have an enchanter bot in my group, and I saw in the npc_spell_entries table that he has dispelling spells, but never uses them. I looked at the code, the
SpellType_Dispel type is only used for bards. Any good reason ?
So I added the cast of dispells for enchanters. But in the
AICastSpell function (botspellsai.cpp) I saw that dispells are only cast if target's HP ratio is above 95, which allows a really short range of time for caster. Maybe I should lower this ratio ...
- Enduring breath : I tried this command, but it almost never works. Once again I looked at the code. I have the good classes (Shaman and Enchanter), but why testing
CanCastOutdoor() function ? I will put this test in comment and see what happens.
- Death and Resurect : when I die, all my bots disband from the group. I was ok with that until one of the last update where I saw poping a Respawn window. But I can't use it if my bots leave. Is there a parameter or something to disable the bots disbanding after client's death ?
Last remark : I saw in a previous post that WildcardX wanted to rewrite the bot system, based on mercenaries. I don't known mercs (I stopped playing live after GoD release) but I find the project GREAT. Any idea how long it will takes ?
I think I will simply stop bothering people with my remarks/questions, and continue modifying my server on my own until the new release will be available ...
Btw thanks for this wonderful private server and bot system, it's an amazing job, and it's so fun to play EQ again after so many years
