EQEmulator Forums - EQBotEquipment

<tl-dr>
Download the release from github and extract
Edit Data.xml and update the <Database> record with your details
If you have .bot files from EQItems, put them in a 'profiles' folder next to the .exe
Run EQBotEquipment.exe
Profit??
</tl-dr>

I felt like creating a relatively easy way of equipping a bot without the hassle of searching for items and all that crap.

EQItems was always my go to tool for this - but it seems like bots have been updated and it no longer works.

I was too lazy to see if any other tools exist to do this - so I fired up Visual Studio and ChatGPT and came up with EQBotEquipment.

It's just a console application, so nothing fancy.

Check out the source here if you want

If you compile, you'll need the MySQL.Data package by Oracle from NuGet.

Features:

Equip a bot with an inventory profile generated from EQItems (or the pre-packaged ones I had lying around)
Import your existing .bot files by placing them in the 'profiles' folder
Before committing to the database, the account, character and bot are displayed along with a map of slot name -> item name for confirmation
Bot inventory is cleared before updating
Inventory profiles selectable are filtered by bot class
Importing of .bot files tries to detect the class based on .bot filename (Warrior_uber.bot, War_low_lvl, Tank_mid_level will all map to Warrior class)
Variations of classes in filenames is supported via the Alt parameter in Classes xml. (See Warrior or Magician entries for example.)
Duplicate class and item lists are ignored
Account, Character, Bot, and Profile selection menus are paginated to support long lists and avoid scrolling.

Hope it helps!

Note: Backup your db first - I did test this as best I could with a small number of accounts / characters / bots, howerver I'm not liable for borking a server if I missed a bug!
