Seeing that the bots are becoming more popular and polished, I added two files to the CVS, bot_npcs.bat and bot_npcs.sh.
They simply will dump your current NPC bots to bot_npcs.sql, so that they can be sourced back in after you do a DB update.
Windows users:
1. Open bot.npcs.bat with notepad or similar and change peq to the name of your database.
2. Then, run the .bat file. It will create a new file called bot_npcs.sql in the same directory.
3. Update your database as normal.
4. Source in bot_npcs.sql
That's it!
Linux users do the same except using bot_npcs.sh. Make sure it's marked executable, and you run it as ./bot_npcs.sh
Of course, you will need to repeat this every time you update your database, or your bot NPCs will be lost.
The next version of the installer (which will offer a db update feature) will do this automatically.
