Hey folks, new guy here!
First, I've noticed a few folks requesting windows binaries of the 1118 bot code. Here ya go:

Just copy the 3 files to your standard eqemu install and you are good to go (I think, like I said, I'm new, but it seemed to work for me last night).
I didn't have any trouble getting them compiled, just used the dev kit posted a few pages back (thanks for that, I'm sure it saved me a TON of time and trouble) set the dependencies, and chose ReleasePerl when building the solution.
Now, maybe I've just missed it in this HUGE thread, but is there any kind of user guide for these bots? I found the #bot help command in game, and like I said, managed to screw around with some bots just a bit, but I still have some unanswered questions, and would really appreciate some kind of in depth usage guide if there is one, just to make sure I'm using these guys to their full potential.
If there isn't a guide, then I suppose my biggest question is how do I teach bots spells? I figured out equipping them (that's easy, and very neat) but do I have to give them spells the same way, or is there a command similar to #scribespells that'll just give them a bunch of spells up to the correct level?
Also, are there any more commands for more fine grained control of the healing and mezzing bots? Similar to a "cast this spell on this target" command? I'd really like to set up some kind of CHeal rotation with some cleric bots, for example.
