New Bot Group Based Raid System

prickle · #1 10-22-2009, 09:15 AM

I haven't had a chance to test out the raiding aspect with the bots and the new code. However, the one part of the new bots code that I was able to test was with zoning. On my system (Ubuntu Linux), the bots go "stupid" after zoning. They forget to follow you, and don't seem to behave normally. The only way to make them behave properly is to camp them and then respawn them after zoning.

Dunno if this is just me that's seeing this because I haven't seen anyone else mention it yet.

What rev were you using when this happened? This sounds like a bug I fixed in rev 1033. If you are unsure, I'd recommend getting the latest code out of the repo today and try again.

Two midterms this week and some more next; I'll test this ASAP, sorry I've let my priorities get skewed temporarily =P

That was happening with rev 1035.

I updated to rev 1036 last night, but didn't have time to personally test it out.

I'll be able to test rev 1036 (or whatever the latest is when I get home) tonight though.

I play on prickles server and just tested this... they still will not follow after zoning.

I logged in... spawned in a cleric and verified he followed me to the zone... and zoned to another zone... after zoning the cleric was there and continued to buff me but would not follow me... i then spawned in a enchanter... this enchanter started buffing but also would not follow me.

So i figure when i zone somehow the fact that i am the group leader is lost?

Why they will buff me... but not follow me?

My guess anyways hope this helps narrow down the bug.

rev1036 BTW

Just tested on fresh PEQ DB with REV 1036 and I'm not seeing this problem at all, Tested on my Home windows environment. I zone to about 10 different zones and bots all responded great.

Thanks for the follow up... we will check over our setup and see if we missed something.
