EQoffline, bots and more..

[cavedude]

Yes, the newest PEQ database is compatible with eqoffline. However, if you have existing bot data then you do not want to run drop_player.sql. I would suggest running drop_system.sql and then load_system.sql against your current db (back it up first before doing this of course) and then you should be set. The bot tables are considered player and not system, so sourcing drop_player.sql will destroy that data.

Will it actually drop the bot* tables? That would mean someone would have added those tables to drop_players.sql. If they did not, the PEQ drop_players.sql should just skip anything it is not told to drop? Or is that sql a "drop everything"? I can't remember.

[cavedude]

Yes, it'll drop them because I added them to the file. By newest PEQ I assume the CVS is meant.

If the older Luclin package is implied, then no those bot tables will remain after running drop_player.sql.

Oooh, do I sense a Bots-Core merge?

/rumor on

Has anyone had an issue where your bots stop responding to anything but the attack order?

Normally I dont have this problem, but the last couple of night I have been camping spawns in Charasis and at some point my bots will:

- Quit buffing and/or healing
- Stop following me

I can summon them and use the "attack" order, which they will respond to. But nothing else. Not sure why this dungeon seems to be the one place this happens in, I did fall through some of the pit traps. Anyway, thought I would mention it.

When it happens, do the following things please :

- target the bots that don't respond
- type #hatelist
- say me what you see

Thx,

Ok I will. I went to a bunch of different dungeons last night with no issues. I'll go back to Charasis tonight and if it happens again I will do what you ask and give you the info.

Edit: If I remember correctly I fell through the floor of the east stairs pit trap at the entrance. My bots jumped on a skeleton down there and I took the teleporter back up, I then summoned my bots. This may have been when the issue occured. I will test it tonight.

Tha tis because you have gott aggro bug. Well you"magically" have got aggro from some mob in the zone that is out of reach for the mobs.

Thus they are in combat and try to get to the mob. But since it is to far away. They just stand there, but in combat mode. And since they are in combat. They dont buff...

Yes that's why I'm asking to have some reports.
But, that should'nt happen because mobs or bots test the Line of Sight with the mobs in their hatelist. If they don't have a los, the mob is wiped from the hatelist and it continues its normal AI.
