EQoffline, bots and more..

[nicholasjohn]

for some reason when I'm compiling the source from the SVN revision 52 the bots dont seem to be included although i do see the botai.cpp being compile.
Do i need to do something different to enable this code?

You need to edit your makefiles to include the bot code.

1. Change the following in zone/makefile:

DFLAGS=-DEQDEBUG=5 -DCATCH_CRASH -DNO_PIDLOG -DSHAREMEM -DSPELL_EFFECT_SPAM -DFIELD_ITEMS -DCOMBINED -DAPP_OPCODE_SIZE=2 -Di386

to:

DFLAGS=-DEQDEBUG=5 -DCATCH_CRASH -DNO_PIDLOG -DSHAREMEM -DSPELL_EFFECT_SPAM -DFIELD_ITEMS -DCOMBINED -DAPP_OPCODE_SIZE=2 -Di386 -DEQBOTS

2. Then change the following in zone/makefile.common

../common/guild_base.o guild_mgr.o

to:

../common/guild_base.o guild_mgr.o task.o raids.o botRaids.o botAI.o petAI.o

3. run make

Maybe i missed it but which version is the 'most recent'/up-to date?
Condagars or the SVN's? or are they the same?

Is the CVS no longer current?

1. I'm using level 70 bots, and I get a few Unkown spell effects with the spell list that you published.
2. The bots will assist each other but not me.

Hopefully all the spells will be fully supported one day. Are you sure about the assist thing? You attack and they just stand there? Maybe you have them in 'guard' mode. You must use the follow command to get them to assist you again after using guard or enraged commands.

I will try to keep them at the same level. They were identical at 1129 and r47

Congdar;

How do you feel about adding a few more spells as bot commands?

#bot groupwolf ( don't always want to be a wolf)
#bot levitate (I hate bobbin' around like a cork in a pond all the time)
#bot seeinv (I don't even know if this is needed at all, but it takes up a buff slot)

Nicholasjohn:

step 3. is how you compile the source on linux. Not sure what you need to do for a windows compile.

Angelox:

I agree, I do notice that when I summon support type bots I get hit with alot of junk buffs first and never seem to have room for the good stuff.

I have levetating as a monk! That is why we have safe fall =P

I've added some, but I'm trying to add ones that can't be easily acquired other ways. Levitate and see invis can be found on items, or if you have a wizard bot you can get levitate. I'm confused with what you have in the () you want these commands to make is so you don't lev or wolf or seeinv?

Yeah, I don't usually use the guard command as I move far too fast for all that. It's interesting. They'll follow me around and sit there while I get the crap beat out of me by 6 or 7 mobs. You know Rangers, we're not happy unless there are plenty of mobs. I have to tell them to attack each mob in turn. As long as I tell them to, they'll happily go about their business. It's like having an employee with no initiative.

By the way, I did notice one other thing. My Paladin was critting in the 8k's. Now he's got pretty damn good gear and all but that still seems a little high for a Paladin. And that may not be a BOT thing either. Maybe general issue.

not sure what your issue is, testing just now my bots assist me without having to do anything.

I noticed the same thing just now, they will not assist until i use the #bot group order attack. They just stand around and never get in the fight.

[Congdar]

strange, like I said... I'm not seeing this problem. anything else you can tell me? Are your bots in a group? Is their gear equipped?

3. run make

ok I did steps 1 and 2 not quite sure what you meant by step 3 ?
But i still do not have bots enabled for some reason.
Thanks in advanced for any help
