Bot development status?

[Fasthand]

Can it be possible to know who's in charge of the bot development, it seems their is still lots to do and it seems that everyone is developping is own little things on the sides instead of pushing all togheter in the same direction.

I won't mind peeking a look at the code and help on the process, when i finish understand how things works around in the emulator. Before anything thing who's that jackass around that is asking question in last few days with very low response rate, i would admit that im very disapponted.

I am known as s0rCieR, MQ2 grand plugin daddy, author of MQ2Melee, MQ2Cast, MQ2Cursor, MQ2NetHeal, MQ2Netbots and more that never went live to the macroquest community.

I think that i am qualify to help out, if my help is wanted, i would like to get an up to date status, and maybe get my hands on some more recent bot scripts or something.

I would like to help on the melee aspect ... "spellcasting never been my bag" lollllllllllllll

Thanks Yall

Don't worry, Fasthand, we aren't all dicks, only a select few.

The basic ideas of what Caryatis said is correct though. You can see the source at the link he linked. And to submit changes, you have to do them on the forums in the Server Code Submission section. Direct access to the SVN is restricted until people prove themselves to have a clear understanding of C++, the source, and the goals of the project by posting multiple useful submissions.

Also, please stop any further arguing here (both of you). Flaming and drama are against the forum rules. So far you 2 haven't been directly flaming each other or anything, but I don't want to see it continue in the direction it was going in.

EDIT: Just noticed your edit... Who emailed you about setting up SoD for money? I think that may be worthy of a forum and LS ban (if they emailed you with an email address they have registered here as well).

I read that this was being rewritten, is that the latest code we have in the bin or the old one?

I've been working in the everquest macroquest community for a few years, i have code their that still being use as we speak.

Also i read that it seams that everyone is doing is little own things with the bot coding? so can i ask why?

Yes i know their is dick everywhere, i was blasting it in my previous post till i see that he did at some times submit some code, so for respect for a coder i just drop it down.

Thanks bro for your honestly and your help so far.

The 'rewritten' code is what's in the svn right now.
It originated as a kind of injected code using #ifdef's and was rewritten as class/object code.
In the translation from old to new, some features were lost, like raids, and some new ones added like bots zone with you.
There are a few servers running the new and some running the old, but the official source is at the link above.

BotAddEquipItem(SLOT_AMMO, GetBotItemBySlot(SLOT_AMMO));
BotAddEquipItem(SLOT_SECONDARY, GetBotItemBySlot(SLOT_RANGE));

shoult it be instead:

BotAddEquipItem(SLOT_AMMO, GetBotItemBySlot(SLOT_AMMO));
BotAddEquipItem(SLOT_RANGE, GetBotItemBySlot(SLOT_RANGE));

im not the expert but that tickle my eyes when i was reading the code.

Thanks

[Congdar]

that code is working correctly

[Fasthand]

cool forcing to equip range item in secondary slots seems logic

[Fasthand]

Well guess i should not be posting anything that look suspicious, i feel i would get the answer that the code is working perfectly.

Im just reading code for like 3 minutes and i see like 3 things that peek out my attention.

Im not here to bitch at coding or point out fingers, i just want to get it fix for the benefits of the community.

is the mana_regen_rate means to be a multiplier on how fast the bot was suppose to regen their mana, cause if it so ... why dividing it... ie: if i set variable to 5.0 i was thinking it should be 5x faster and not 1/5 ... you guys divide at the end instead of multiplying. (i dont have raw data on all the variables so i might be wrong, but that looks wrongs).

regen = (regen * RuleI(Character, ManaRegenMultiplier)) / 100;
float mana_regen_rate = RuleR(Bots, BotManaRegen);
if(mana_regen_rate < 1.0f)
   mana_regen_rate = 1.0f;
regen = regen / mana_regen_rate; <==== thats look weird 
SetMana(GetMana() + regen);

Yes i know code is working ... and working as intended ... now can we drop out that anemosity i feel ... or i should just fix things on my side and forget to keep your guys up to date?
