More questions on Bots

I don't add customizations to the database and then try and get them out, I create the custom sql file manually, and at the same time as I add the changes to the database. Then after a database update I can just source in the custom sql and I'm back to where I was.

The bot issue can be several things. Are you using 1129 or the SVN version? With 1129 you need to add EQBOTS to the Zone pre-processor in Visual Studio, if SVN then the Configuation Manager has a separate bot setting you can choose for debug or release binaries. If you are compiling in linux, search the eqoffline thread for linux answers.

Ok, I guess I missunderstood... I thought that the release thread had a working source that didn't need any editing. I'll look around for what needs to be changed, thank you

The release thread source doesn't need editing. It should work right away unless you try merging it in to an existing source tree. Verify the EQBOTS setting in the preprocesser options of the Zone section.

Oh yeah, I'm using Debian Linux also.

there's some linux instructions for adding bots to the compile in that 800+ post thread.

I looked... linux stuff is on one of the last 3 pages depending on your settings for how many posts to view.
