EQoffline, bots and more..

[Magoth78]

oghog> Create a group with your family and try a "#bot group add" on your bots. You should normally invite 2 bots. I didn't test it yet because as you mentionned the project was initially based to be solo with bots.. but I'm actually modifying some stuffs so you can play with other people.

Once your group is created, just create a raid with the command #bot raid create", etc...


sonicvt>an eqemu server can't send item links for the moment so it is not something that will be implemented to eqoffline.
Concerning the dual wield stuffs, be sure that your bot has the right level/class.
I've also noticed that when a bot is wearing an item that can go to the secondary slot, it equips it even if it's not a weapon/shield/totem/cristal.
I'm going to fix that so weapon are shown in priority.

Btw I'm actually doing some debug on weapons, melee dmg formulas and a new version should appear soon.

Mag,

Thanks for the reply. All my bots are level 34 and rangers dual weild at 14 or so. The same goes for the warrior (also 34). The inventory list says he has both Fabled Screaming Maces in slot 13 and 14 but it only displays the offhand one.

As a side note, the cleric and shaman bot both display their primary weapon (slot 13) and their sheilds (slot 14). I haven't found a weapon suitable for the ranger and warrior to replace the fabled mace or i would test it with a new weapon. Thanks!

It's likely that same-typed weapons get the bot confused on what to display... which would explain why a club+shield show up ok. I remember pets had a problem long ago with dual weild gfx, but had been fixed on live.

As for grouping humans with bots, I think it works fine at the moment, but your human groupies won't see the Bots in the group box... which makes interacting with them a challenge... but should work still.

Now, getting humans and bots on the same raid will pretty much solve 90% of the population problems in EQEmu. Magoth needs to have a shrine to him in game somewhere we can all go pay homage.

Thanks so much for the replies and info guys. I will try it out this weekend hopefully!
