When you used CMake to create a solution file, you will have needed to check bots and compiled with that option.

In addition, you will need to source in 'load_bots.sql' - I believe the peq 'daily dump' now has the updated file..if not, you can find it in the emu git repo sql directory.

Bots do not currently support 'raid' activities. Most, if not all, quests that require group+ client counts currently do not work with bots.

You can still pseudo-raid with multiple bot groups. Just make sure that you set the rule to allow exp for bots not in group, or you will rarely gain since a full bot group
almost always out-dps' a client one.

There are some optional (useful) sql files for bots..but, I would recommend getting your server up and running before applying any of these.

I don't know if there's a wiki page for bot commands..but, they are actually located in '/../zone/bots.cpp' and not in the commands file.
('#bot help' should give you a list of commands)

Two clients can not have bots in the same group. The best way to do this is to have the person with bots form the group, then add any clients.

I do not know if client-with-bots group can join up for raids..but, anyone knowledgeable is welcome to provide feedback.
