Default complete heal?

Hey Magoth,

So far eqoffline has worked great. When I first created a bot I used a level one character, the bot was a cleric and he did well at healing. I then tried to use the same bot for a level 50 character, his level updated but his spells did not. He still used a very low level heal on me.

I looked in the database and his level is 50, and I updated, killed and respawned him but he is still casting very low level heals. So I created a new bot and he has the same problem. Is there a bug with this? Have not looked at the code yet

update:

Checked the mana calculation ( I assume bots are under same rules as NPCs?) and my bot at level 50 should have 1100 mana (no equipment). Complete heal is 400 mana, but he casts light healing on me =/ From the code, the only thing I can see is that they check against there mana to make sure they can cast the spell.

But I have not found the logic on how they choose what spell to cast. Anyway..doing more testing. I am going to go in as Admin and #showstats on him to make sure he has the mana I think he does.

Is there a way we can see what spells they are able to cast? Or do they get them all based on level?

If your bot is a cleric, lvl50 and you "#bot update" 'd him, it should cast the lvl44-49 cleric's spells.

If you want to see what spells your bots can use, you have to see on what spell's ID it is. A magician by example should by 516 (by memories). Then you can check what spell your bot should cast by checking in the database, the npc_spells_entries table.

Thanks, I will check that. One other question, I didn't see this in the code. Do bots always spawn at level 1?

I second that, my level 70 cleric casts very low level buffs, though that is ok in itself. Also, she will spam heals on me for very low amounts, and keeps casting Yaulp over and over if there is no fighting going on.

I have a release coming this week, so I am again swamped at work... but I'll get back to playing with Bots first week of August or so. Regardless, Blakine, you might have missed the post that bots do not appear to be benefiting from their uber gear. My level 70 Ogre Warrior decked in Gladiator's has 5k HP... which I think is shy of what he should have (12k or so heh).

Nah I saw that, he was a naked cleric lol. Since that time I have made a low level warrior and leveling up legit with her. Bots have been a great help and have sped up leveling. A few issues but nothing major. One request I would have (again have not looked at code in depth) is if you could make the bots stay like a pet does? This way you could tell them to stay in one spot and then go grab a pull and run it back to them. Just a thought
