Bots Won't Spawn

[gpofcore]

I've tried several of the bot servers but can't get it to work. Seems your supposed to spawn the bots first, either those you create or from the list. But, command #bot spawn 999426 gives the response:
You can't spawn a bot you don't own.

I've even tried to create my own bot and spawn it but it gives same response.

the process for "owning" a bot is to
1. #bot create
2. #bot spawn
3. #bot group add

The bot is then owned by you and nobody else can spawn it. If you skip 3(or somebody is watching for new bots and messin' with you), somebody else can #bot group add your bot and then they own it. The #bot create will return the npc id that will likely be in the 2700000 range, much higer than you 999426 number, othewise it will return a create failure message. Your low number might mean you are using an old database or old version of the bot code.

999426 is about right for a fresh db, I re-ordered the IDs to remove all of those unnecessarily high IDs a while back.

It worked, much thanks. I couldn't spawn a bot on the bot list but was able to create one, spawn and group it. Trying to spawn one from the list gave the 'You can't spawn a bot that you don't own' reply.

Woot, got my first bot.

The ones you can't spawn belong to somebody else. Use #bot listmine to show only your bots as #bot list shows everyone's bots
