EQoffline, bots and more..

**Congdar** · #1 04-27-2008, 10:21 PM

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.

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

**Also, the bots used to work for level 85 as that is what my max level was on my server..but since the last 2 updates, I had to change my max level for my server back to 70, because above 70 the bots would simply not cast anything..

here comes another error...for some reason now when using bots, the mobs are vanishing upon death...no xp and even if the mob has loot its poofing...grr

I do add in item bonus' during the calculation, not sure why it isn't picking it up. I'll look at the calcs again.

I didn't add anything specific for level and casting. The spell tables come from the database, not sure if any changes happened there. Clerics use entry 1 but pet casters use entires in the 500's

I do know about this, but it is one of those "doesn't always happen" bugs that are much harder to find... still looking.

Hello, love this bots support, and during the time around am enjoying it.

Within this bots, got a question.

So far, am playing it on miniLogin, Hamachi (VPN), EQEmu 1108. So eventually am playing EQEmu with bots with several friends. In this case, currently.

Grp 1
Me, bot1-bot5 (Bot owner Me)

Grp 2
Friend1, bot6-bot10 (Bot owner Friend1)

Grp 3
Friend2, bot11-15 (Bot owner Friend2)

In this kind of situation is it possible to create a raid between Grp1, 2 and 3?
I did Bots and me Raid by and that has worked. Just wanted to know if Raid with me and my bots with friend and his bots RAID is possible or not.

In the above case, Grp1, 2 and 3, independently, is working great.

***

One thing I've noticed is, sometimes I get a "you don't own that bot so can't spawn" type message, although, I've just created him/her.

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.

Grab eqlaunch from the downloads section or CVS. The bots code doesn't touch it, so you can use stock EQEmu code.

Isn't zone the only thing you need to compile from the bot code?

**Congdar** · #11 05-01-2008, 10:57 AM

I think sharedmem is also required, not positive about world. I add EQBOTS to all 3 just to be sure.

cubber · #12 05-01-2008, 11:00 AM

I started using bots since your 1102 release and have always just compiled zone and copied the zone binary to my server directory. Has worked every time. I see no issues with the bot system by doing it this way. The rest of the server is built from the regular eqemu sources.
