Playerbot (archive)

[blueboy]

Hi Guys,

If it is acceptable to everyone I will remove 'botguy' code from playerbot. I will then create an installable 'botguy.patch' that I will post on this forum. If you can do the same with your patches, then members can choose which patch they prefer.

In the long run, it wouldl be prudent to create a separate fork off playerbot for botguy, so the public can access the code from github. The preferred solution can be upload there. Perhaps a volunteer can then managing this.

Please get back to me

[erazare]

this sounds appropriate to me.. got my vote

[erazare]

hey blueboy, i have a question for you... do you happen to know if ckegg is still working on his Ebon Hold modification he had going? the one that fixes grand theft palimino and other broken DK stuff?

[blueboy]

Sorry,

I don't. Ebon Hold definitely need work, particularly the 'Death Comes From On High' quest. Perhaps you could leave him a message.

Cheers blueboy

[blueboy]

As promised, here is the botguy patch I created. Only apply this if and when 'botguy' has been removed from blueboy. I'll wait a day or so before I do this, should anyone object.

Stillhard, fix seems to have fixed quests for me as well. course it did take me a little while to figure out what do do as the line numbers seem to be off.

On a side note I'm trying to import vehicle.patch (Made myself by branching main and then pull from vehicle, same way I added ahbot to blueboy's playerbot repo) and I keep getting a user.h.rej file. What I need to know is what do I do with it? is it similar to the patch files goto line number and fix what it talking about?

I'm running lastest blueboy repo as of today and ahbot last pull with SD2/(ACID 3.0.1) last pull. Not using botguy not even sure what botguy does.. UDB version 386..

Hi,

Look inside 'user.h.rej' and see where the conflict occurs. When the patch is applied the computer searches the files for a 'pattern' in the code. If the pattern is not found a conflict is flagged and it Fails producing a '.rej' file.

If the core MaNGOS code changes or changes as a result of a previously applied patch

* The patch suceeds if the pattern exists, but offset from original location.

* The patch fails if the pattern nolonger exists before or after patch mod

Look at the patterns shown in the patch file, and look at the code your trying to patch. See if there are differences. Look carefully, the slightest difference will break the patch (Info inside '.rej' file).

That help.. I figure that was how it worked but I was not sure. Just to make sure, it would fail as well if the pattern does not exist even if what it was changing it to already exists.

Newbie question, is github.com/blueboy/ the current source tree for playerbot ?

cause i tried the one on the first page but my compile failed, the above one does compile....

And.. the bots seem to work perfectly but, i can't get a list of the inventories of the bots and after a kill they stand over the bodies without looting.. is that normal behaviour ?

Thanks in advance :lol:

*Side Note* - Great work on this project, i have a small private server and you've just tripled the amount of characters online

Hi,

The short answer to your question is yes. The guys who normally look after the 'playerbot' repo are otherwise engaged. I have created 'blueboy' to keep playerbot going. I am pleased it works for you.

You get an inventory of your bots by asking them to 'trade'.

Right click on the bot avatar and a menu will drop down. Select trade and an exchange dialog will popup. In the background the bot will also list money and all the items it is carrying. Each item listed can be used as an 'item link' by holding the shift key down and selecting it with your mouse.

e.g

/w [botname] <item link>

item will then appear in the trade dialog

To exchange money

/w [botname] 1g

1 gold piece will be offered by the bot, if it has it to trade, in the exchange dialog (g - gold, s - silver, c - copper).

Note 'soulbound' items can not be traded. There is no graphical 'inventory' dialog, like the 'inspect' dialog.

Bot will only loot items that are necessary for them to complete quests (Exception: They will participate in group loot rolls for special items). If you wish, you can ask the bots to inform you of items they require,

For individual bots, whisper

/w [botname] report

For groups of bots, party

/p report

For more info on using your bots look at 'bot_readme.txt' in the source or this link http://wiki.github.com/playerbot/mangos

Hope this helps

[W0LFMAN]

Many Many thanks blueboy and my compliments on your (and others of course) work.

I get it now... i was trying to get them to list it in whisper without the trade window open.

Ok.. with that said, i will test later on....

just a little side note question... is there a limit as to how many bots i summon ?

[blueboy]

Yes, each account is limited to nine bots maximum

[blueboy]

When bots die they are resurrected in stages.

1. BOTSTATE_DEAD where the bot becomes a ghost, a corpse is created, and the ghost is relocated in the nearest graveyard.

2. BOTSTATE_DEADRELEASED where the bots ghost is teleported to it's corpse, and then resurrected.

3. BOTSTATE_NORMAL bot is alive.

Occasionally bots die in the wrong state (I have noticed that the bot's avatar on the client turns blue). They are

neither BOTSTATE_DEAD or BOTSTATE_DEADRELEASED. The bot is actually teleported to the players location without a

ghost. It appears on the minimap, but is invisible. The only way to then resurrect the bot (prior to the fix) was to

login as the bot, and then get the bot to search for it's corpse. This could be difficult, particularly if you not sure

where his corpse is.

PlayerbotAI:UpdateAI() handles resurrection events.

NOT BOTSTATE_DEAD AND NOT BOTSTATE_DEADRELEASED

It first clears relevant flags and sets the bot status to BOTSTATE_DEAD.

BOTSTATE_DEAD

Unfortunately, these bots already possess a corpse and the condition causes a code loop. I added a state change to

BOTSTATE_DEADRELEASED, to bypass creating another corpse.

BOTSTATE_DEADRELEASED bots are now teleported to the corpse and resurrected as normal.

I have uploaded the fix to github

Hello all and Blueboy Especially!

Thanks for the great program, love this new feature of Mangos.

However I have an issue with a version of playerbot that RRTN put in his repack and was hoping maybe someone could shed light on the problem.

When entering instances with spell caster bots my server crashes at times. Doesn't matter which instance. Tried Priest, Warlock, Paladin. the paladin and warlock were fine at first, but now they have turned a corner to where they will crash the server anytime I bring them in as a bot. I can enter using them as a player no problem.

Is this something that has been addressed already and i need to update? Or is this a possible problem with a database corruption?

RRTN's repack:

features:

Client build: 10482 - 10505 (3.2.2a)

Server build: rev_8876

ScriptDev2: rev_1508

Hi

Judging by the version of MaNGOS used in the repack, it wouldn't be a bad idea to update. There have been alot of changes since [8876]. Repacks are great, but if you have issues they can be a nightmare to debug. I can confirm that the current version of playerbot on blueboy is stable with the following,

MaNGOS [9106]

SD2 [1526]

PSMDB [279]

AuctionHouseBot from Naicisum's github repo

Autobroadcast by Xeross (old version)

If you require all these mods (from the repack) then I advise that you add them one by one and check for any server instabilities.

Please note: The current version of playerbot does not contain the 'botguy' code, which was found to be causing problems with server stablity. If you use 'botguy' to summon bots, then perhaps you can use the patch I posted. I recommend you check out Stillhards & yad02s fix as this seems to work well with Windows servers.

I have not seen rrtn online for a while, perhaps he may have an update on his repack:)

Hope this helps

Awesome Blueboy thanks for the fast response. I'll work on those updates. Unfortunately RRTN has taken a break from his repack and has not updated.

cheers!

where can one get a PSMDB?

Hi,

Sorry that's the acronym I use for the 'Project Silvermoon Database'. You can obtain it from this link http://svn.assembla.com/svn/psmdb_wotlk/

as a subversion repo (e.g to get revision 279)

svn co [url]http://svn.assembla.com/svn/psmdb_wotlk[/url] -r 279

I noticed you on the 'Eye of Acherus' thread. I'm also looking into that at present. I've just compiled the latest 'trinitycore' but it won't let me logon. Its less friendly than MaNGOS, telling me that my SSL library is too old. My Opensuse box runs openssl 0.9.8k, so it should work.

Got any ideas, blueboy

Hi

Judging by the version of MaNGOS used in the repack, it wouldn't be a bad idea to update. There have been alot of changes since [8876]. Repacks are great, but if you have issues they can be a nightmare to debug. I can confirm that the current version of playerbot on blueboy is stable with the following,

MaNGOS [9106]

SD2 [1526]

PSMDB [279]

AuctionHouseBot from Naicisum's github repo

Autobroadcast by Xeross (old version)

personally i hate repacks for far too many reasons.. generally i take them for the DB to compare it against my own work, but repacks imo shouldnt be made... here's an idea: lets distribute server software to morons who can barely turn on thier computer much less attempt to run a SERVER supporting a bunch of other idiots who dont know what they are doing..

no.. i think repacks are a mistake.. it introduces too much leeching and vermin with very few pluses on any level.

PLease help using version 9119 of mangos...

OH btw 9106 does not work either...

Hi Hanpuch

Where have you got your playerbot code from ?

If you read my recent posts you will see that 'botguy' has been removed from the playerbot code. I see in the Creature.cpp.rej file that there is reference to 'botguy' code.

+ // Playerbot mod
+ if(isBotGiver())
+ SetUInt32Value(UNIT_NPC_FLAGS, 1);
+ else
+ SetUInt32Value(UNIT_NPC_FLAGS, cinfo->npcflag);
+ // End Playerbot mod

This was removed from Creature.cpp ages ago. It looks like your still trying to use the code on the http://github.com/playerbot/mangos github. That is well out of date and only supports MaNGOS upto [8898]. I'm not suprised you are having issues with the later versions of MaNGOS. If you read the posts on this thread from early December onwards you will see that we are now using code on the follow github repo;

http://github.com/blueboy/mangos

Hope this helps

I'm still looking for an effective way to artificially populate a test server with what appear to be real players, 50-60 "players". Is the only way, to currently to load up multiple accounts and spawn their 9 respective bots each throughout the world? Or does anyone have an easier way?

Certainly not with playerbot at present!. One of these days I hope to form a RAID group with my boys. Each has his own GUILD of 9 bots + player. These GUILDs can be then converted into one large RAID group, but I am sure you are already aware of this

i dont get how you implement this. is this a patch cuz it seems when you download it from your git. your getting the whole mangos tree..
