EQoffline, bots and more..

[Soulscry]

First off... I love the bots... after alil trial and error on my part i managed to get them going and do alil leveling... I can do groups and raids .. update the bots to get there new spells n stuff ... 2 questions though.

1: Is Update supposed to level up my bots to my level? cuz I still have to kill them and respawn them to get them to level up...

2: For some reason i cant get the bots to keep there gear... Dieing, me logging, zoneing, me #kill ing them ... if for any reason i despawn them they lose all there gear ... i tried #bot update ing them but to no avail ... im sure its some simple mistake that only i dont understand lol ... but yet here i am .. with my level 5 naked bot warrior trying to tank for me =/ ...

anyway .. thanks again for all the hard work... This is a dream come true for me ... I couldnt play eq much anymore for lack of time needed to get raids togeather or even groups... with the Bot-armada I can play in my free time and still do the things i enjoy ... Your my hero =) ... Cheers!

1) When you do a "#bot update", their level become the same as your. Don't worry about them staying blue, I just don't update their consider color.

2) When you do a "#bot inventory list" on your bots, what do you see ? Is the botinventory table created in your database as mentionned on the README (http://eqoffline.free.fr/README.txt) ?

The #bot inventory list says all the bots slots are empty ... even after i give them an item ... and the item is showing on the bot ... ( armor on and sword in hand )...

I just realized there was an error in the load_player.sql script. Source in botinventory.sql manually and I'd bet it will work for you.

Soulscry,

I routinely update the peq_db (drop_system.sql and load_system.sql) and when it do so it kills the bot names and classes for the bot but keeps the bot inventory lists (as an aside, when it drops the name and class for the bot it is a great time when you re-#bot create them to choose new classes and names if the ones you used before aren't suiting your purposes instead of just making more bots that jack up the number of bots you have) I've never had the bots not keep their inventory items before though. I know when I give the bots new items it won't show the new appearance for the item (e.g. breastplate or weapon) until I respawn and group them.

Mag,

I noticed that if I do #bot attack and I myself don't engage in combat that the mob won't be agroed on me (won't get faction hits, won't attack me if the 5 bots wipe). I'm not sure if this was intended but it was just something I noticed while searching for named in zomes I'm not KOS in, for example Chardok.

Also, if you are agroed your bots go into auto attack mode but if you are in a raid only the bots in your group do this. Is this intentional or should the other raid groups also auto agro on the mob that agroed you?

Thanks and great work.

I sourced in the Botinventory sql file with cmd promp smysql... load up eqemu server and fire up eq client... log in .. spawn a bot .. equip it and kill it... respawn .. gear stayed ... woot woot ... but in combat i randomly crash now... happened 3 times in 20 min ... not sure exacly what caused it ... im thinking once was when i lost LoS with the mob... once happend when i turned off auto attack mid fight ... and once when i was backing away from a mob so the bottank could taunt/ hold aggro away from me.... this is the Worlddebug.exe cmd lines of the errors when i crash... any ideas would be great ... thanks guys =)
