EQoffline, bots and more..

[Congdar]

I've updated the source and binaries with the workaround for Group Heals. There are many Cleric and some Paladin group heals that report as ST_GroupTeleport for some reason.
I also made a change to trading that may fix the refresh on appearance when giving items to the bots.

My changes are running on The Realm server. If you can log in there and still get stuck then I can look at log files to see why.

I'm running whatever came with the minilogin package. Are those three files incompatible?

[Congdar]

yes, incompatible.

your loginserver.ini file should look something like this:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=192.168.10.241
loginport=5999
worldname=Congdar's World
worldaddress=192.168.10.241
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=MiniLogin
ServerPort=5999

and you should use the *.conf files that come from the main download of the win32 binaries(not source). Only use the minilogin.exe from that zip file.

Is there any way i can use the bots with minilogin then? My database is ready to i think.

[Congdar]

if you can get the emu up and running with minilogin, then the only thing you need to do is copy in the bot binaries.

Why the change to a hard limit on the number of bot groups, out of curiosity?

I realize that if 12 groups isn't enough to take down something, a player's got more problems than just bot count, but why add the hard limit when you were running on a LinkedList before?

If the problem was not being able to iterate through raid groups, this is what I was using for that:

LinkedListIterator <Group *> gps(RaidGroups);

gps.Reset();

while(gps.MoreElements())
{
    Group *gp = gps.GetData();

    if(gp) {
         // do some stuff here to your new group pointer
         // ...
    }
    gps.Advance();
}

also adding new groups:

// with your new group "newgroup"
RaidGroups.Append(newgroup);

// then reset any interators going to it

[Congdar]

that's not why I got away from the linkedlist, I just thought that 72 was the max raid in eq anyway.

I've updated the source and binaries for build 1110

[cubber]

There was some discussion earlier in this thread about incorporating this into the main eqemu source as a rule or something. Is this still a possibility, or should we keep searching this 39 page thread for builds?

[eski2]

I noticed the bot entries were in my database when i first installed it although i couldn't figure out what they were for, so i assume it was half done. I've tried replacing my binaries with the ones listed but that just crashes my game so i am not sure how to proceed.

If there's a way to backup my characters and install a version like minilogin that i can solo on and use bots i'd be very interested!

[quadroplex]

1 you need to check through the changelogs and enter the required mysql changes in it before trying to upgrade any of your binaries without those changes as soon as you try zoning in youll crash the bots work fine with minilogin just backup your character_ account, and inventory tables but you dont need to just run the needed mysql statements in the changelogs and itll work fine

[quadroplex]

heck atleast make a forum specificly for this as a alternate version or something hes right searching this thread is a bit of a pain in the ass.
