Bot / IP idea

[GurkhaPanzers]

Here is my thought. I used to 6 box on live and hated it towards the end of my decade on live. I switched to eqemu and made a server that allows 5 bots. Problem was the 6 boxers now had 36 chars when including bots.

Is it feasible to make a global that is set to IP and Account.
If you are allowed 1 account you can have 5 bots.
If you are allowed 2 accounts you can have 2 bots each.
If you are allowed 3 accounts you can have 1 bot each.
If you are allowed 4 or more you get no bots.

The idea is no matter how a player wishes to play he still is no more then 1 group.

Any thoughts?

The thought being is one could make an npc to let a player set choose his/her style and then save the setting and tie it to each account on the IP.

You could recycle Aediles Thrall in Bazaar and re-purpose him.

You should be able to find 'Bots:BotQuest' in your rule_values table.

Here's his script in case you deleted it.

Apparently there's this:

$qglobals{bot_spawn_limit}

That might help you.
