EQoffline, bots and more..

[sonicvt]

Mag,

I noticed when creating a new group of bots (used to raid with 3 groups, recently created a 4th) that if they didn't have weapons equiped and engaged in battle it would crash. Oddly this didn't happen at 1st-10th level or so when I first started using your bots. Not sure if this issue is on the bot end or the EQEMU end but I thought I would post it anyway.

Additionally, any news on the bots being able to use weapon procs and focus effects/haste from items? Thanks!

Hi guys,

I won't upgrade the actual version of version until the 18th october (actually preparing an exam for my job). Then, I will re-write the whole bot system based on the latest sources to make it a real plugin for EQEmu that you will can active or not. EQoffline will become EQbots, a plugin for eqemu that will be playable solo and multi.

For the moment, you can use the EQoffline builds that are based on .994 (I think) wich are more than playables.

Later,
Mag

I wish you the very best in this project. Keep up the great work, and by the time you know it everything will be completed.

I too want alot of things in EQemu, but fail at finding the time to sit down and complete anything good like this.

I'll start with saying WOW, what you have done with BOT's is amazing!! I for one am looking forward to your new BOT system. I have BOT's on my server and everyone who plays with them love them. You have given players the ability to solo, (with BOTs as friends), even higher level mobs and raids! WOW thanks again!! I have a few questions for you, with the new BOT system will I be able to set the number of BOT's per char? Is there a way to have chars delete the BOT's they don't like, and this may be hard to do but hey you are the man, and last thing is give me a little more space or let me set it, the BOT's are to close to me, sometimes hard to loot with them standing on my feet. I'm not complaining just looking forward to the new BOT system!

Any updates in the past month or so? I've noticed it's been a while since Mag posted and his webpage hasn't been updated either. Hope he's ok...

Hello there, I'm fine thank you

For the moment, I don't have the time/feeling to work on the new bot system.
Sorry bout that,
Mag
