EQoffline, bots and more..

[eski2]

i really like the bots idea but i can't see if there's a page here for a newbie to implement this, say using minilogin? I have minimal experience in all of this and am struggling, despite my excitement with the idea. I love playing different classes and would really enjoy being able to give equipment to my bots. I know it's not as good as having real people, but for someone who's always soloing, it is the next best thing.

I use win vista 64. Ideally i'd like to be able to integrate the changes into my existing campaign, and keep my characters and custom items, but i'd wipe nd start again if it was the only way to try with bots following me about. I imagine the AI must allow for some of it already; after all, npcs heal their mates when badly wounded, and buff everyone as soon as they spawn?

I imagine going raiding with bots could be amusing, unless it's a zerg fest, and having bots fall in lava or whatever could be horribly frustrating, but speaking as someone who never got to fight in proper raids, this would be the next best thing.
