*Desdemona Bot code

[Sneg]

It like have a merc of any class you do not have to pay for. you can may them do things like heal, port, snare, ect. Can have up to 5 out per account atm.

But there again, what makes them stand out from the existing BOT code ? The normal Eqemulator BOT code can do all of those things, maybe not snare but that would be easy to implement.

1) There bots will tank and not autogive up aggro to PC. So rogue pcs can backstab etc.

2) #bot heal was implemented

I have seen ways to change code prior to compile to enable item 1 but not item 2.

In order to improve bot heals I ended up removing nukes from clerics and dots from shamans and changed priority to direct heals over heals over time but still get complaints about why cant I tell my bot to heal me like I can tell him to cure me.

A wish list item I would love if feasible would be a #bot command that would toggle hold aggro or not hold aggro. This would make playing a non-tank character easier.

When I hear things like that I start thinking that since you could not necessarily command a person in live to immediately heal you, well....

Well i guess you could but it would not be immediate. Also no guarantee that they would be awake.

HA, I've been guilty on occasion on live as a cleric to fall asleep on those long raids.

100% truth there.
