I know not this thing you call "Komm Pyl". I just downloaded and ran the thing

You can safely ignore the python message. I renamed my exe's to World.exe and Zone.exe

Maybe if i had done that it would have worked?

I'm pretty sure i noticed the bots entries in the DB from day one but never knew what they were for. That python message is a nuisance because it's wrong; depending on the OS, you have to specify the full path (XP) or not (vista) and it's python(version number).dll, not python.dll, and it's not in the python directory or subdirectories. There many frantic posts from people trying WinCVS. I don't really knwo the difference between python and perl, but i presume perl is an older scripting language for much the same purpose? I use Notepad++ but i still find missing } symbols cause me nightmares in the basic quests I've attempted.

I miss my VB4 days. I sort of knew what i was doing way back then.

Ok, a new complication has arisen. when i zone in, my system locks up trying to move me to a safe point. I've tried using #zone (current zone) and #zone cabeast (i'm an iksar) but it still get caught in a loop. I used #flymode 1 to get out but it was very disturbing! It's like the mab coords have been reset. i tried to find an error in my logs to show what i mean; maybe i should screenshot it. Ah well, #bot seems to do something but the weirdness meant i haven't been able to get it going yet.

[eski2]

so the bots seemed to be working but the maps seemed to be bugged now?

[Congdar]

zone points are a db issue, not related to bots, maybe resource your zone table? just a guess.

[eski2]

I went back to my backup versions of "EMuShareMem.dll
WorldDebug.exe
ZoneDebugPerl.exe"
and the zone issue went away. As far as i can tell, that shouldn't have affected the database? I can still see the bot entries in the db but they won't listen to me anymore. They were casting spells when i had them, i just couldn't move because eqemu kept trying to move me to a safe spot in a loop.
Is there anything i can post to help debug this? I feel like I am very close to having working bots but something is not quite right.

[Congdar]

try not to mix and match versions of source and database, not sure where you are on those.

[eski2]

I couldn't find any product version numbers but this is the output from Directory of C:\EQEmu . I'm happy to try anythingthat might get me the bots and the zones working together?
