• 10.10.20 Update

► Show Spoiler

10.10.20 WSG UPDATE

New features:

• WSG Playerbot support

• You can queue for WSG alone or with other bots (random or alts)

• Random bots start to join WSG only after real player enters queue

• You can not yet control bots directly in WSG, they will do their own stuff

• Random bots mounts are now race-specific (applied after first randomize)

• Random bots food is less random (Fix for bots using wrong items instead of water)

• Random bots will now have reagents for class skills

• Initial support for Stealth skills for Rogues/Cat Druids. Use "co +behind" strategy to make them move behind target

• Tauren bots will use War Stomp when facing several foes

• Warlocks will auto summon any available pet

• Rogue bots will use poisons if they have it (Random bots always have some)

• Bots will use Mana Oils/Sharpening/Grinding Stones if available (Random bots always have some)

• Webserver added with a Map of players (and bots) online. It's enabled by default and is available here http://127.0.0.1/

• Other small fixes

NOTE: All item/mounts changes are applied to randombots when they are randomised.
It means random bots will get Reagents/Race Mounts gradually as they are processed. You can speed it up by doing "rndbot init" command in the console after all of them log in. This will randomise ALL random bots online (caution, they will lose whatever items you gave them before. It only applies to random bots, not alts)


Special thanks goes to Lidocain for his BG Patch and support

For more information about new configs please refer to notes in aiplayerbot.conf (Search for Automation)

NOTE: It's recommended to backup your Settings and Server folder before update.
After update please do "6 - Reset random bots" from Launcher

IMPORTANT: if you have changed ahbot.conf or aiplayebot.conf (e.g. Spec probabilities) then you may encounter error after update - bots/ahbot will be disabled. If it happened, please backup your Settings and Server folder anywhere, then replace old Server_Fix.bat with file below and run it. Then run Server_Update.bat. ALL your settings will be reverted to defaults! Previous Settings will be copied to Settings_Old folder. Please take your time to restore bot number and other settings you've changed before.
Use this file ONLY if you have problems (e.g. bots/ahbot became disabled) after Update!

Main features:
- New core (CMaNGOS) - means more working stuff than in old repack

- (Planned) Transfer tbc to wotlk (will add later)
- Launcher : install locales for 8 official languages (for all 3 game versions)
- Launcher : replace English locale with any other to play English client + Non-English content (revertable)

IMPORTANT!

► Show Spoiler

Though same in appearance, this is not an update to previous repack! DO NOT try to install it to the same folder! KEEP old repack files until you ensure transfer to new version went OK if you decided to transfer your characters.

NOTES:
* Previous repack transfer is only possible from the same expansion you transfer to (vanilla-vanilla, tbc-tbc)
* Vanilla - TBC transfer does not transfer explored zones and (possibly) Honor Kills. If that is important to you please wait for us to fix it

- Transfer from vanilla to tbc DELETES all randombots who are not in your friends/guild!

- Just like the old repack this one requires internet connection to install (expansion server files are loaded when you select expansion). Keep that in mind before going "offline" to play

- WSG with bots temporarily disabled due to core differences and a planned BG Bots rewrite to support 3 BGs.
I think we will enable old BG code in next update so you can at least do it before we rewrite it
Arena with bots works in tbc/wotlk.

06.04.21 UPDATE

- Performance tweaks
- Cmangos AhBot added
- Update locales
- Fix bot stand while drinking
- Fix reset strategies on login
- Use healthstone instead of potion of available
- Random bots appear in different zones faster
- Temporary increase bot speed by 10% until fix
- Fix bots following while dead
- Disable Druid bots auto Prowl until fix
- Druid bots should now remove form to buff
- Fix auto/trainer learning of spells in tbc/wotlk
- Option to sync bots max level players level
- Hunter bots use melee if enemy is close or no ammo
- Hunter bots say if they are low on ammo
- "ammo" command to check ammunition
- [Vanilla] LFG using Meeting Stones
- [Vanilla] Random bots use LFG
- [Wotlk] Fix bots not confirming in LFG
- Other fixes

As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated Thank you for your support and for being a great community!
Many thanks go to @mostlikely , @Lidocain , and other Devs / Users who worked/helped with it!

Thanks for cleaning it up. I can't get 2.4.3 to install though.

[celguar]

I can't get 2.4.3 to install though.

Do you mean you can't install WoW 2.4.3 or repack for 2.4.3?

[Kralomax]

I can't get 2.4.3 to install though.

Do you mean you can't install WoW 2.4.3 or repack for 2.4.3?

The server doesn't initiate when installing from the launcher menu. Choosing 2 - The Burning Crusade (Not Installed) does nothing.
I tried on two different PCs and can't get it working, so I guess I'm saying the repack won't install.

[Kralomax]

Never mind celguar, I did exactly what you said not to do in the directions. I downloaded the source, didn't see the download at the bottom! Thanks again, it runs great now.

[slipknat]

hi tnx for the repack ! is there will be BG bots ?
# Enable LFG for random bots (NYI) (what is NYI ?) if i enable it bots will use group finder ?

[celguar]

We're working on adding BG to repack. We will notify when it's ready
NYI = Not Yet Implemented
So if you enable it nothing will happen. Also there is no group finder in vanilla and tbc.

[SuperLongCat]

My Mangosd.exe, and Realmd.exe crash on loading. Both of them error out in to an appcrash. I have all the vcredist installed. Any way I can get this working?

[celguar]

My Mangosd.exe, and Realmd.exe crash on loading.

What Windows version do you have - x32 or x64? Currently only x64 version is supported

[SuperLongCat]

Windows 7 x64. Odd right?

[celguar]

Yep, should work. What is the error you have?

[SuperLongCat]

Mangos Authentication Daemon has stopped working. Has the close the program pop up window.

Error in command prompt reads:

Using configuration file ./realmd.conf.

ACE_INET_Addr::ACE_INET_Addr: localhost: Valid name, no data record for type notifciation pipe open failed: address not available
ACE_Select_Reactor_T:open failed inside ACE_Select_Reactor_T::CTOR: address no available


Then,

Mangos Zero World Server has stopped working.

Can't read anything in the CMD Prompt window. it turns white, then also has the CLOSE the program option.

I remember a while back, I had problems like this before with a different repack. I ended up using a different mangos.exe, and that worked. Tried with this one, but it spat out a ton of .dll errors LOL

[celguar]

You didn't change config files, did you?

[SuperLongCat]

I didn't. Ran it right out of the fresh install. I'll keep poking around, and tinker. Who knows. I will try and redownload it, and start all over.

[celguar]

Do you have any other repack/mysql servers running when you try to start it?
I'll investigate and report back should I find a solution

[sGainos]

How exactly do you make the bots help you attack enemies in combat? I tested both in Vanilla and TBC and the bots only attack an enemy when told with attack my target or when they are grinding. This makes it very hard for me to complete any dungeon with them since I would need to tell them to attack every enemy. They won't even attack someone when attacked. This feels like they are set to "passive" but I even got the addon and couldn't "fix" that. Any ideas?

[celguar]

How exactly do you make the bots help you attack enemies in combat?

Hey there! There is a bug currently that bots don't assist with lvl 1 neutral mobs. They should assist with other mobs though. Sometimes addon makes them passive if you press "pull" for example. For a quick solution you can say in group chat "reset ai" so that they revert strategies to default values.

[sGainos]

Oh wow that's actually true, i'm sorry for not testing with higher level mobs, I was just trying to make sure the bots behaved in a way that made sense to me. Thank you so much!

[Abramelin]

Hello

Has the .bot add command been removed? I've been trying to use my account/guild characters as bots, but nothing happens when I enter the command. Is there a new way to add bots?


Thanks!

[celguar]

Has the .bot add command been removed?

Hey there
Start Server_Update.bat, I made a fix to allow commands for player accounts
