Does this happen with any guards in any of the other starting cities, like Qeynos, Felwithea, etc?

Hmmm.. this sounds like an awfully uber specific bug

I'll try to recreate it on my dev server, though just to be diligent.

Is anyone able to reproduce this bug? I can't. I made a human male pally with a human female cleric and neither Guard Maddoc or Guard Hobart would attack me, grouped with the bot or not. Btw, both con indifferent to me on my dev server (using the latest PEQ world database as of today July 30). Are there different guards I should try?

I made a high elf male pally with a human cleric bot and no guards attacked me in or out of a croup with my bot. Until someone else can replicate this bug I am going to assume it is some sort of config error or something.

WildcardX,

I have found a few rather nasty bugs.

When raiding Crushbone for a dragoon dirk, my bot group encountered the Fabled Ambassador DVinn. The fight of course happened on the spot where DVinn spawns. In order to position my cleric, druid, and enchanter bots to give them better LOS to DVinn I used #bot group summon. The first bug I encountered is that immediately upon the enchanter being summoned to my position, his pet immediately went crazy and basically killed DVinn in a matter of a couple of seconds. It performed about 50 melee rounds uninterrupted as though it were super-hasted.

The second bug is that the kill yielded no EXP and DVinn poofed.

The third bug is that #bot group summon appears to be able to instantly crash the entire zone. It does not always happen, but it is often.

Details:

Latest build from SVN as of this posting with latest PEQ database as of this posting (modded with Bots.sql from the same SVN update).

Thanks for all your hard work, and keep it up!

I haven't been able to recreate any of these issues. Can anyone else replicate these bugs?

WildcardX,

The bug affecting bots with pets seems to be related to pathing. I cannot replicate the bug UNTIL the bot's pet ends up against a wall or other object. The little hut in Crushbone with the Orc Scoutsman is where I can get it to happen with great frequency. When the pet gets "hung" on the back wall, the endless attacks occur. Also it seems to happen most when the pet is positioned behind the mob.

Also I have an issue with 'bots' table in the database. I cannot remove bots from the table (via Empty or Truncate with NaviCat) due to foreign key constraints. This may be related to some ineptitude on my part, but I cannot get it to work.

Quick question: Do you plan to add GM bot editing commands since #npcedit will no longer apply to bots?

I think the work you are doing is great, WildcardX. Please keep it up!

More testing...
Ok this time I used a Barb BL and for the bots I had Barb warrior, and DE cleric. I have screen shots to maybe help understand what I'm talking about. Everything is a fresh install, Eqemu rev 880 and PEQ Rev859.

I'm just about to start using this new code update. I do ALOT with Bots in many different zones I'll see what I can come up with.

oh another quick question,

I'm reading through the changelog, does this mean I need to recreate all my bots?
