Compiling with Bots

[Fluff]

Hi,

I recently returned to the community here, I have been visiting off and on for what seems like over a decade to check in on progress. I recently set up a private Linux server with the instructions on the wiki (which btw- were excellent, thank you). Initially I tried to compile with bots but I kept getting an error when trying to source the load_bots.sql.

I tried to determine the problem but there seems to be a missing character_ table which the script needs to make a view and some sprocs. After some investigation I learned this table is being broken out from a blob currently as part of improvements.

Is getting bots to work as simply as adjusting this script to use the new character_* tables or are code changes needed as well? Has anyone already done this?

Thanks
