EQoffline, bots and more..

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

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

Ah, you may have a point there. Now that you mention it, I seem to remember them having that kind of limit, like the hate list depth, so people involved in stupidly huge raids weren't getting credit or something like that.

I've been working on command sets which operate on the entire raid (including loading and saving intact raids on a per-player basis) which used the linked list iterators heavily. ("#raid load fivegroup" loads the raid I saved as "fivegroup," complete with main tank and second tank flags).
Some of the stuff I've been doing (like adding a pacifist flag so the raid can't attack) I see you've already either been working on or finished.

This stuff still needs a bit of work though, although I think the new movement code for the bots I'm working on will be done in a week or so.

I've just integrated the code in your 1108 release into my codebase (but converted it all to linked list.)
When I update to your 1110 release, I'll switch back to arrays. Shouldn't set me back more than a few hours.

Gah, five minute edit rule strikes again.

I've been simplifying the interface for a lot of commands ("#bot raid order task attack"? really?) to a #bot, #bot group, and #raid command structure, and I've stuck all of the commands into two separate included .h files ("botcommands.h" and "botraidcommands.h") which can be included in "commands.h" to make merging a bit easier, etc.

Let me know if you'd like to work together on this stuff or what things you're working on now so we're not duplicating work.
