EQOffline:BotCount issue I think

[Angelox]

If anything, it should fall back to 5, as the default is 5 - I tested this under windows and Linux, I even just disabled the rule, and it still defaults to 5.
"Group is full' is the wrong message - it should say "There is no more room in your group."?

I still have 266, haven't had a chance to put 270 in, but I don't see where that would change anything

Yah the correct message is "There is no more room in your group."

No matter what I do I can only group one bot. I can spawn all the bots I want but whenever I try to add another one beyond the first I get that message and the bot is killed.

here is my setting currently: (phpmyadmin copy)

1  	EQOffline:BotCount  	5

and here are some other rules so you can see how they are set up:

1  	Mail:ExpireTrash  	0
1 	Mail:ExpireRead 	31536000
1 	Mail:ExpireUnread 	31536000
1 	Channels:RequiredStatusAdmin 	251
1 	Channels:RequiredStatusListAll 	251
1 	Channels:DeleteTimer 	1440

I tried 270 out and it works fine too - what are you using for compile? windows or Linix? and if windows , what version VC?

[cubber]

I don't own a windows box, all linux here. I will try pulling down clean sources and recompiling. I did a make clean before recompiling this version. Then when I found I should recompile world with -DEQBOTS in the makefile I just did a make clean in the world directory and recompiled that. Then copied world to my server directory.

[cubber]

I just re-ran make clean on my svn sources then did a make and rebuilt everything. This did the trick. Seems you can't just change something in the world makefile and remake just world, need to do it all.

So problem was between the seat and keyboard sorry guys!

It's not actually your fault, it is a problem with the makefiles.

Both the makefile.common for world and zone specify ../common/rulesys.o in the SF= line.

../common/rulesys.o gets compiled for world first, then, when zone gets compiled, it sees that ../common/rulesys.o is newer than ../common/rulesys.cpp and so it knows it doesn't need to recompile it.

Normally, this is not a problem, however in the case of code bracketed in #ifdef/#endif, where different defines are used between world and zone, it causes problems.

Instead of ../common/rulesys.o, the world and zone makefile.common should specify .obj/rulesys.o

This tells the makefile to compile it's own private version using it's own set of -D flags.

I'll update the makefiles.

The EQOffline:BotCount rule should really be a RULE_INT (integer) rather than a RULE_REAL (floating point).

Thanks for the clarification Derision.

I'll get this fixed - I just at first didn't have any makefiles for with the WORLD makefile, and was going crazy trying everything, tell I realized what it was.

I've been trying to post replies on these forums, but for seems it goes dead at night for hours and now seems to drop a lot during the day too. Last night I couldn't get on here to reply, finally I just went to bed.

Derision; I also noticed, it seemed at one time, when I did a 'make clean' from the source root, it would go through all the subs and include a 'make depend' , it doesn't seem to do that anymore, just includes 'make clean' only.
I wonder if something got removed?
