I'm not sure how to do that. I use DiffZilla to merge the bot changes with the latest source. Seems to work fine.

One thing i have noticed with pet classes (at least Mages and Shaman) are that they tend to waste 2 slots on the same pet summon. I have not found a way to fix that in the database, so I'm guessing it's a bug in some code somewhere? I had thought it was just the shaman but I looked closer at the mage #bot debug spell list and saw that she had loaded an Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water pet ... and a 2nd Fire one.

Spell lists for the caster bots are next on my list of things to work on. The current spell selections are for NPC's and the bots just kinda hijacked the entires. There has been some discussion on this, so the spell lists I come up with will use thier own database entries instead of the ones created for the NPC's. I have the Cleric done and I'll move down the list from there.

Is there a way to cut off the social they are under attack or something? I am putting bots together at times that spam very fastly this social.

**Congdar** · #**470** 04-24-2008, 11:23 PM

I've seen the repeating text issue. This is because you've told your bots to attack and they don't have line-of-site with the target. Try #bot summon and if you have line of site, then they will too. I think this is what you are asking about, no?

Any idea why the casters are always being interrupted? Sorry, I can't give any detailed info at this time, but I was just running thru innovation reeking havoc and even when they were told to guard, the casters are constantly having spells interrupted.

Jason1983 · #**472** 04-25-2008, 01:07 AM

Yes that is it. Actually for some strange reason they just start running that script for no reason. Not even attacking anything. Enchanters seem to be the worse.

My Ranger does this. Mage, Wiz, Cleric, Necro, Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Shadowknight, Enchanter i've tried and don't. I'll look and see if there is some ranger specific bot code somewhere. Do you have other casters do this?

Might be a different script? This would only happen if somebody has aggro and theres a line-of-site issue. If you have HTT installed you could cycle through your bots and see who has aggro. Summoning them has always fixed it for me.

Hmm, I don't use a Ranger. My Casters are Chanter, Shaman, Cleric and Wizard. I'll pay attention to which it is, but I'm purty sure it was more than one....

BTW: Thanks for keeping this alive. I could never do it...

I am just standing in POInnovation with my bots of a Warrior, Cleric, Shaman, Enchanter and Druid.

The Shaman and Enchanter are repeatedly casting a spell and getting interrupted. Even if I tell the group to guard.
The Shaman is trying to cast Talisman of Alacrity and the Enchanter is trying to cast Vallon's Quickening. They are doing it continuously over and over... They cast and about 3 seconds later they get interrupted...

Hope this will shed some light....

I have exact same problem with spell interrupt. I have mage, shaman, and cleric, but only noticed it on the shaman. I had to go back to 1102 binaries, which sucks cause the other improvements were nice.

**Congdar** · #**477** 04-27-2008, 10:21 PM

Here are my latest Source and Binaries of bots using the 1108 EQEmu source.

If you are using an existing database, 1108+ sources need database updates, check the changelog.txt

I fixed the spell interrupted issue with my Ranger so hopefully it fixes everyone elses interrupts too.

Bardbots have suddenly remembered how to play songs.

Hey there, quick observation from my server...I have a gear bot that hands out "cheater gear" and you can use the gear to equip the bots...prior to the last 2 updates, the gear would reflect correctly on the bots, but now for some reason, when I use #bot update it shows for example HP 12322 MANA 11065, but when I use #showstats or #npcstats it shows HP 7907 MANA 8904 and when the bot shows its medding message it shows the mana at 8904...with the gear it should be significantly higher...not sure what changed to make this different..thanks

RCPD0715 · #**479** 04-28-2008, 06:54 PM

**Also, the bots used to work for level 85 as that is what my max level was on my server..but since the last 2 updates, I had to change my max level for my server back to 70, because above 70 the bots would simply not cast anything..

RCPD0715 · #**480** 04-28-2008, 07:19 PM

here comes another error...for some reason now when using bots, the mobs are vanishing upon death...no xp and even if the mob has loot its poofing...grr
