EQoffline, bots and more..

The low level spell casting problem is a DB issue not a code problem. You can modify the "npc_spell_entries" table and change what spells ALL NPC will cast or you can define a new npc types and build a spell table for them.

So I figured out that the bots would cast the correct level spells after I updated them then removed them from the group and then spawned them again.

They fight and kill the monsters fine too.

If you try to trade with them the zone crashes. I went and downloaded Magoth's current source and got it to build and it has the same bug as the 1077 sources i've diff'd to.

Does anyone have a working set of Magoth's source?

Magoth also provided binaries, you should try them too just to make sure BOTS are working at all for you.

Hello,

I'm sorry about not giving any information on this project. There reasons are :

#1 When I've stopped this project, the bots were working correctly wit hthe old code except, maybe, some spells as related in this topic. But that's just a database's entries issues.
#2 In order to have the bots working with the newer version, I wanted to make the bot system totally independant and "pluggable" to the emu's code at any time on any emu's official version. That's a lot of work that requires time, feeling, etc... wich I have not actually.
#3 I've started a similar project on WoW based on the emu Mangos. (didn't really finish it though bots are working correctly :> )
#4 I'm now playing EQ2 a lot and I like it.

Richardo> It'd be easily doable with a bit of c++ knowledge (wich you have, don't you?)

G'day,
Mag

I have rolled the BOT code, with some tweaks, into the 1086 build.
1. BOT pathing
2. BOT Item exchange, including rings, bracers, and earrings(2 slots)
3. Zerkers are working
4. Beastlords melee
5. Rogues and Rangers don't crash the zone

Could you post the source for that?

Wildcard and I were talking about the bot code to see if it would be feasible to add it to the official code base as a rule or something such, similar to the old Guild Wars system for those familiar with it.

I also have been working on the bot sources. I have merged John Adams' 1035 source bot code and Magoth's current download(some differences) into the 1090 sources.

You can test them on The Realm server down near the bottom of the list. I'm debugging some raiding issues but i'll post the sources when I'm done with that.

I have all bot code inside #ifdef EQBOTS blocks like the Guildwars code is in #ifdef GUILDWARS blocks.
