EQoffline, bots and more..

Will it actually drop the bot* tables? That would mean someone would have added those tables to drop_players.sql. If they did not, the PEQ drop_players.sql should just skip anything it is not told to drop? Or is that sql a "drop everything"? I can't remember.

Yes, it'll drop them because I added them to the file. By newest PEQ I assume the CVS is meant.

If the older Luclin package is implied, then no those bot tables will remain after running drop_player.sql.

Oooh, do I sense a Bots-Core merge?

Has anyone had an issue where your bots stop responding to anything but the attack order?

Normally I dont have this problem, but the last couple of night I have been camping spawns in Charasis and at some point my bots will:

- Quit buffing and/or healing
- Stop following me

I can summon them and use the "attack" order, which they will respond to. But nothing else. Not sure why this dungeon seems to be the one place this happens in, I did fall through some of the pit traps. Anyway, thought I would mention it.

When it happens, do the following things please :

- target the bots that don't respond
- type #hatelist
- say me what you see

Thx,
Mag

Ok I will. I went to a bunch of different dungeons last night with no issues. I'll go back to Charasis tonight and if it happens again I will do what you ask and give you the info.

Edit: If I remember correctly I fell through the floor of the east stairs pit trap at the entrance. My bots jumped on a skeleton down there and I took the teleporter back up, I then summoned my bots. This may have been when the issue occured. I will test it tonight.

Ok got it working, sort of.

I had a level 14 rogue and made a cleric and warrior bot.

The cleric bot keeps casting yaulp and courage as it wore off. No other buffs, and he kept casting a low level heal.

I then logged on my level 70 GM character, and created a new cleric bot. I added her to the group, and did a #bot update (where the bot said she was updated) followed by a #bot group remove, then respawned and regrouped her.

She still casted courage and yaulp, no other buffs. When fighting, she casted a small heal and thats it..

So what am I not doing. I did drop and source the npc spells from the website so I dont know what im doing wrong. Its basically like they are staying at a low level and the #bot update isnt working.

Thanks for any help!

This is at level 70...

Update : Looks like you have to ZONE after you do a #bot update for it to take effect, still testing....

Update 2 : She seems to cast resist buffs, (fire, cold, magic, poison, and disease) and frienzied strength...but isnt casting any HP or AC buffs at all. She does cast a higher level heal tho.....still testing...

Tha tis because you have gott aggro bug. Well you"magically" have got aggro from some mob in the zone that is out of reach for the mobs.

Thus they are in combat and try to get to the mob. But since it is to far away. They just stand there, but in combat mode. And since they are in combat. They dont buff...

Yes that's why I'm asking to have some reports.
But, that should'nt happen because mobs or bots test the Line of Sight with the mobs in their hatelist. If they don't have a los, the mob is wiped from the hatelist and it continues its normal AI.

Awesome work Mag.

I have a question though. Does eqoffline now support more than one real life player in the group.

My wife and 2 kids play EQ with me, but we are limited in what we can do with just 4 people.

I know this project started with the intention of being just able to play solo with the bots, but I was wondering if the project would move in the direction to allow us to use 2 more bots to fill out our group, and then eventually spawn 3 or so more groups of bots to raid??? (can you say run on sentence )

Thanks for any info!
