First off I have to give thanks to this amazing addition to EQEmu! I just came back 2 weeks ago after about 5 years, and am just totally blown away by all the progress and especially these bots!

Last week I decided to fire up my own server using the awesome PEQ installer, so I am running 1104 PEQ and 1102 bot binaries. I have since leveled up from about 10 to 57 using a group of 5 bots plus me (Cleric, Shaman, Monk, Berserker, Mage, and I'm Warrior). So far I have had ZERO zone crashes and only a handful of times have they ever even gotten stuck (can usually fix by moving, summoning them, then having them follow again). Really the only problems I've encountered are related to npc_spells_entries for the Cleric and Shaman. Especially on the Shaman, there are several levels where they have no heal loaded because there are just tooooo many buffs they are trying to load. I have hand tweaked the Cleric and Shaman entries (1 and 518) with the following goals:

• Close any gaps where they had no heal loaded
• Take out any extra buffs (like the resists) to make room for heals, and to keep at 15 total buffs or less
• Make sure they are always using their best heal for their level (the Cleric had greater healing from the 20s to the late 40s, doh!)

Using these tweaks, I farmed Naggy about 15 times at 52 in basically crap gear except for epic 1.0s with my group of 6 and had no problems! Someone else mentioned never seeing Complete Heal go off, however my Cleric did pop this on me anytime I was going down too fast. The rest of the time she was hitting me with a 900 point heal. The Shaman would also chime in with his 600 point one anytime I got below 50%.

So anyway, here are my tweaked entries for these bots in case it might prove useful. I have only play tested to 57 so far, but anytime I tweak something I try and look forward to 70 too, so there are a lot of fixes up to 70 as well.

Hopefully this will be of some use to the project! My only other wishlist item would be that the Cleric could be configured to start healing sooner (85% vs 60%) and to top off after a fight. I imagine that is hard coded somewhere since fighting an NPC cleric who healed at 85% would be pretty annoying. lol

[kraulek]

PS: Also I had a problem at 57 when the Cleric started loading Mark of Karn. She consequently stopped buffing entirely. Once I took that spell out and restarted server, all was well again. So I am not 100% if it was the spell or the restart, however I can tell you that I never had buffing stop before that. Just an FYI

Here are my latest Source and Binaries of bots using the 1106 EQEmu source.

I have made sweeping changes to bot creation stats. If you have existing bots, they need to be updated using #bot update. Caster bots will not know what to cast if you don't, and melee bots will be weak.

If you are using an existing database, 1104+ sources need database updates, check the changelog.txt

Bots now have AA's. I've coded in some offensive and defensive AA's. Most noticeable will be Finsishing Blow if your bot is of the appropriate level.

Some commands have changed or are new. See #bot help and #bot raid help

I've added raid checks to the group commands for attack, follow and guard. This reduced the number of macro's you needed to edit. You can then redirect individual groups using the #bot raid commands if you need to.

Bots are 'social' now such that if the main target has been killed and an add has come in somewhere, the bots will aid whoever is being attacked.

[kraulek]

Excellent, thanks for the update! The #showstats finally works to count gear and stuff, most excellent! I got it running without any trouble, though I have found a couple issues.

The most major one is that my shaman bot now gets hung up trying to cast buffs. He will get through a few of them, but then will continually be interrupted before he can finish the set. He will keep trying the same one over and over but it never completes. At first I thought it was just Infusion of Spirit (the one he was stuck on at first) though I zoned back to poknowledge and he did get that one complete but got stuck on the next. :( I did not notice any casting interrupt issues during a fight, however.

The other bug I came across is that 2 out of about 15 fights the bots freaked out and started yelling "Shregg is under attack, assisting!" or something to that affect. (Shregg is me on my warrior) This was like 5 times a second at least it seemed like, but other then be pretty funny had no adverse affects that I could tell.

As an FYI, the very first time I did a #bot update on my shaman he was loading the 6 spellset (pre-pet) instead of 518, but after depopping him and zoning he came back with the right set. Just something to watch out for.

Lastly - I have a feature request .... I would love to be able to type something and request a specific buff or spell cast from a bot. Like to have the shaman cast slow on demand, or to refresh Puma/Jaguar mid-fight (since it's a buff he only does it when not engaged but it's only a 1 minute duration). I have no idea if that's possible, or maybe already is using that #ai command like for mez?

Thanks again for everyone's hard work on this addition, they are really fun and I haven't even gotten to the raiding yet!

awesome one question are you going to release the diffs so people can stay up to date on their own as well?

Here are my latest Source and Binaries of bots using the 1108 EQEmu source.

If you are using an existing database, 1108+ sources need database updates, check the changelog.txt

I fixed the spell interrupted issue with my Ranger so hopefully it fixes everyone elses interrupts too.

Bardbots have suddenly remembered how to play songs.

[RCPD0715]

Hey there, quick observation from my server...I have a gear bot that hands out "cheater gear" and you can use the gear to equip the bots...prior to the last 2 updates, the gear would reflect correctly on the bots, but now for some reason, when I use #bot update it shows for example HP 12322 MANA 11065, but when I use #showstats or #npcstats it shows HP 7907 MANA 8904 and when the bot shows its medding message it shows the mana at 8904...with the gear it should be significantly higher...not sure what changed to make this different..thanks

I am trying to compile the source and getting the following error:

make -C eqlaunch
make: *** eqlaunch: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have checked 1106 and the 1108 and there is no eqlaunch directory in either archive.
