EQoffline, bots and more..

[Congdar]

I've updated the 1102 bots again. Source and Binaries
fixes:
Mana regen for caster bots is a little faster now
Bots will reflect worn gear stats better
Fixed issue with default.pl

So is anyone planning on or finished cranking out an improved or *gasp* complete npc_spells_entries list for the rest of us to use?

Or should I go ahead and do it myself?

[Congdar]

I've done it for the Cleric but haven't had time for the other classes. Feel free to contribute. Remember, these entries affect all npc casters, not just bots.

I've been messing around with trying to create custom spell sets for my bots and so far all of them work great except for shaman. Whenever i create a custom spell set for that class and change the bot to use that list it defaults on the spell list, i have to use #ai spellslist # to get it to use the custom list. I'm fairly certain i'm not doing anything wrong since I've gotten other classes to work so if someone could look into this that would be great!

I started making Custom Spell lists but did not use the normal entries, instead added the id's in the 600's. The ones that I put to use those seem to work fine, but as you say, I haven't done the Shaman's yet, but have set the original ones as they should be by the minimum and maximum levels and I still have to use the #ai spellslist 6 to get the Shaman to load the higher level spells instead of the lower levels that he shouldn't even be loading. Once I get them all done, I'll edit the code in command.cpp where it assigns the spell lists to my 600's.

I'm going to try to get the time to setup the Shaman list tomorrow in the 600's and see if it loads them properly or not.

Also, the ones with pets seem to load that spell twice... Does that happen for anyone else?

Thanks Aramid, i did notice with the wizard spell greater familiar (i think it was this spell) that when it was cast the wizard bot summoned a greater familiar for both the bot and myself and the familiar also summoned its own familiar. I ended up with X's familiar and X's familiar's familiar lol

OK, just found out something I didn't know before nd maybe the coders can figure out why it's happening. I tested this with a Shaman, Wizard, Enchanter, Druid and Necro.

All except the Wizard will load there Default Pet XXXX, where XXXX = Class Spells instead of there own spells.

See if this is what is happening to you as well. Spawn your Bot and before grouping or anything, target it and issue the #showstats command. You will see that it has loaded spellslists in the 500's. They don't have a pet spawned at this time either, as they aren't even grouped yet. Funny thing too, my Wizard doesn't spawn a pet (Familiar) at all even though it has the spell and has the correct list loaded.

My Cleric seems to always load the spells I setup for it.
With the Shaman, I created a short list in the 606 slot and it did not load those spells until I used the #ai command. It loaded it's default pet spells. Yes I set it up to use that spellist in the db

Hope someone can figure out why.

When customizing the database list, make sure you put the familiars spell as SpellType_Pet. If you put it as SpellType_Buff it will cast it on everyone in the group.

SpellType_Nuke=1;
SpellType_Heal=2;
SpellType_Root=4;
SpellType_Buff=8;
SpellType_Escape=16;
SpellType_Pet=32;
SpellType_Lifetap=64;
SpellType_Snare=128;
SpellType_DOT=256;

Nice work on bots!! I only would like to suggest extend the range of bots to his owner, because they get so near that it is a bit disturbed. Would be a big problem to do it?

[Arex]

Hey guys, i was asking me, why u dont use the 100 first positions of npc_types table for bots?? Then u havent problems when new mobs are added to database

[cavedude]

They are reserved by the client so we can't use them without causing problems. But, as I said there is no problem with IDs. PEQ will never ever use the IDs bots are given. Your going to have to drop and then resource your bots everytime you upgrade anyway, since the upgrade wipes the whole npc_types table away and loads it fresh.

[Arex]

ok, thank you for the information cavedude.

In other point, i would like to know if it is posible remove "(BOT)" messagge that appear under name of bots, and the "000" that appear after bot's name in group windows.

any advancement in AI spell list?? It is only that my ench bots look so retarded... :P

[Congdar]

You can remove (Bot) by deleting 'Bot' from the lastname field in npc_types table. Something like:

UPDATE peq.npc_types SET lastname='' where isbot=1;

lastname is equal to two single quotes.


Can't do anything about the 000's
