EQoffline, bots and more..

Haerikk> You have to use "#bot update" on your bot at each leveling (mainly when they have new spells), then you have to repop them.

John> There shouldn't be a difference between windows and linux binaries. ARe you sure that, on your linux, the map are in the right repertory ?

Yes, but I will re-extract all the maps + the newer ones that came out recently, and try again.

Here's another 2 for ya (if you were bored):
1) #bot spawn - equipped bots are naked until they are grouped. scared the hell out of me, thinking all my bots gear was gone!

2) Mage bot inventory is not saved. I'll go through all the other classes today and let you know if there are more.

Is it a known issue that when you are grouped with a bot that the corpse vanishes without the chance to loot?

[Zengez]

Also had that happened but only a couple times, seems to be when the bots do the majority of the damage and get the last hit... which i think is in the NPC encoding more than bot's themselves...

[Topgun1969]

I have tried to make sure i did the most of damage and last hit. It still vanishes before the chance to loot. Disband the bot and all is normal. Yes. i believe you're right about the npc encoding. I have noticed i cannot let the bot do any damage at all while grouped. Then i can loot it.

Hello,


""" 1) #bot spawn - equipped bots are naked until they are grouped. scared the hell out of me, thinking all my bots gear was gone!

John> yes, you will only deal (and see their their stuff) with bots if they are grouped or raiding.
As for the mage's inventory, it's working as intended. What happened exactly ? was the bot grouped ?

""" Is it a known issue that when you are grouped with a bot that the corpse vanishes without the chance to loot? """

Topgun1969/Zengez> Are you talking about the bot's corpse or the killed npc's corpse ? because, yes, you can't loot the corpse of your bot.
Now, if you're talking about the killed mob's corpse, this shouldn't happen. I've made a good amount of tests today and didn't notice that. Could you give more info please.

Marie> did


G'day,

Updates:

-- Mob's corpses shouldn't poof anymore.
-- As asked, I've removed the limitation of 4 groups in raids. You can now have the number of groups that you want to in your raid.
-- "#bot raid info" is now working.
-- "#bot raid order task attack/follow/guard/assist" are now working.

Great job my friend.. Looting works great

[Bjerlk]

Sorry for sounding way too stupid.

But to use your excellent mod all I need to do is using your binaries /in windows) to start my server?
And IF is it then ok to rename them to zone and world?

[Magoth78]

Yes, you also need to do some databse changes:

First, I created a mage bot, then spawned him and grouped him. Then I sat picking through valid Mage gear, handed it to the bot so he was wearing it. If I go to the botsinventory table, that bots botid is missing. But other bots showed their info just fine - just the mage bot so far. I didn't have time this weekend to check all the other classes.

What I was also going to try is manually entering the data into the botsinventory table and see if the gear is retrieved properly. Haven't done that yet either.

He was a DE Mage, if that matters, and I was level 70 GM at the time.

Updates:

-- fixed a zone crash while raiding. It happened when a full group of bots wiped.
-- added a new command, group related this time: "#bot group order attack [target]". It will force your group to attack your target even if your grouped bots are already engaged.

I don't know why but I can group a bot but i still get the crash in the zones at times. Everything will stop moving and the bot will stop following. I am using the windows binaries. I double checked all installations and they are current. I know that it doesn't support multiplayer yet. So i try solo. Is there something i am doing wrong?
