BotOwner by AccountID instead of CharacterID

[skyy]

I am currently looking for a way to get bots to spawn if the accountID matches instead of the characterID and came to a bit of a pit regarding my meager knowledge of the source.

What i tried was looking into bots.cpp:

1) at the spawn command I disabled the check for owned bot:

if(!strcasecmp(sep->arg[1], "spawn") ) {
		if (RuleB(Bots, BotCharacterLevelEnabled)) {
			if (c->GetLevel() < RuleI(Bots, BotCharacterLevel)) {
				c->Message(0, "You are only level %d, you must be level %d to spawn a bot!", c->GetLevel(), RuleI(Bots, BotCharacterLevel));
				return;
			}
		}

		uint32 botId = GetBotIDByBotName(std::string(sep->arg[2]));
		int xy = c->AccountID();
		int yz = GetBotOwnerCharacterID(botId, &TempErrorMessage);
		int yzz = database.GetAccountIDByChar(yz);
			if (xy != yzz)//(GetBotOwnerCharacterID(botId, &TempErrorMessage) != c->CharacterID()) godrage
			{
				c->Message(0, "You can't spawn a bot that you don't own.");

			}

2) disabling the same check at the Bot::Spawn

void Bot::Spawn(Client* botCharacterOwner, std::string* errorMessage) {
	if(GetBotID() > 0 && _botOwnerCharacterID > 0 && botCharacterOwner )//&& botCharacterOwner->CharacterID() == _botOwnerCharacterID)

3) redoing the casttoclient to the actual client

if(this->Save())
			botCharacterOwner->CastToClient()->Message(0, "%s saved.", this->GetCleanName());
			//this->GetBotOwner()->CastToClient()->Message(0, "%s saved.", this->GetCleanName());
		else
			botCharacterOwner->CastToClient()->Message(13, "%s save failed!", this->GetCleanName());
			//this->GetBotOwner()->CastToClient()->Message(13, "%s save failed!", this->GetCleanName());

4) now the bot spawns and immediately despawns and I am stuck as to where the despawn is triggered


can anyone see this endeavour as totally fruitless ?

The main idea for my solo server project is to not have to create bots for every character you create over and over again.

thanks in advance!
