EQoffline, bots and more..

[cubber]

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

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

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.

This is a followup to RCDP0715's post about Bot gear and stats. I play on his server and the bot code is up to date, as I understand it.

I've done several tests by adding equipment to newly created and spawned lvl 70 bots and see some apparently odd behavior. I'll mention of couple of oddities.
When I add an item with a negative stat , the #showstat function shows the stat(-3 int in this case- Giant Scalemail Sleeves) increased by 3.

When I give the bot(70 Ogre War) a group of equipment(all unedited items, mostly from Kael) and then remove them one by one, the bot inventory list command shows that all items have been removed- all slots are clear- and I put the items in my inventory. The NPCStats, however, will show some of the items still on the bot.

{I also created a cleric and gave items to her and then removed them- in one case I did this with the same item 3 times and ended up with NPCstats showing 3 of that item on the bot and #bot inventory list showing all slots clear. Despawning the bot(camp,zone,..) eliminates the items from her inventory.}


The HP stat shows inconsistent values, for example, giving Chestplate of Vindication to the bot and then removing it resulted in a 20hp drop in the showstats numbers.

I have a log of all of these actions but it is long and would take some effort to distill the essentail info. Please let me know if any of this is useful and if you would like more details.
