ok I did steps 1 and 2 not quite sure what you meant by step 3 ?
But i still do not have bots enabled for some reason.
Thanks in advanced for any help

Congdar;

How do you feel about adding a few more spells as bot commands?

#bot groupwolf ( don't always want to be a wolf)
#bot levitate (I hate bobbin' around like a cork in a pond all the time)
#bot seeinv (I don't even know if this is needed at all, but it takes up a buff slot)

Nicholasjohn:

step 3. is how you compile the source on linux. Not sure what you need to do for a windows compile.

Angelox:

I agree, I do notice that when I summon support type bots I get hit with alot of junk buffs first and never seem to have room for the good stuff.

I have levetating as a monk! That is why we have safe fall =P

I've added some, but I'm trying to add ones that can't be easily acquired other ways. Levitate and see invis can be found on items, or if you have a wizard bot you can get levitate. I'm confused with what you have in the () you want these commands to make is so you don't lev or wolf or seeinv?
see post #750

Thanks Congdar - and keep up the good work!

Yeah, I don't usually use the guard command as I move far too fast for all that. It's interesting. They'll follow me around and sit there while I get the crap beat out of me by 6 or 7 mobs. You know Rangers, we're not happy unless there are plenty of mobs. I have to tell them to attack each mob in turn. As long as I tell them to, they'll happily go about their business. It's like having an employee with no initiative. :)

By the way, I did notice one other thing. My Paladin was critting in the 8k's. Now he's got pretty damn good gear and all but that still seems a little high for a Paladin. And that may not be a BOT thing either. Maybe general issue.

not sure what your issue is, testing just now my bots assist me without having to do anything.

I noticed the same thing just now, they will not assist until i use the #bot group order attack. They just stand around and never get in the fight.

strange, like I said... I'm not seeing this problem. anything else you can tell me? Are your bots in a group? Is their gear equipped?

Yep, equipped, in the group, working great except for the assist thing. I'm running on FC8 Linux. Compiled no problems. Can't think of anything that would cause them to not assist either, especially since you say they are working for you. Last version I ran they assisted me no problem though. So /em shrugs. At work now so really can't play with it. Maybe I'll try to throw a debug message or two in it to give some more feedback later on.

what version are you using? check the date on your zip file and/or exe's. There may be a newer version. there was a version up for a short time that had a follow bug in it.

bots have gear and grouped up, I made a more bots and tried no gear and still no assist. I just compiled from the SVN revision 54.

I'm doing the same things i did on the previous revision and it did work on that version.

Yeah, same here. I'm on r52. Bots grouped and geared.

I wonder if Angelox's name change broke it. but that's not till r54 /shrug

I'm not running that yet. I'm running the r52 which is prior to it.
