4 February - BoT revamp (round one)

Post#1 » Fri Feb 03, 2012 5:52 pm

One of the first major revamps of the bot system has been accomplished.

Code:
o Fixed some interesting calculations with Taunt. Players will notice a significant increase in their ability to maintain aggro utilizing the Taunt ability now.
o Added a few potential fixes for some rare zone crashes.

The first set of bot changes included reworking the entire Casting AI as well as a few smaller changes.

o Berserkers, Monks and Rogues will now all attack from behind a mob.
o Fixed the HP error calculation with Healer bots that caused them to constantly spam heal spells when they did not need to.
o Cleaned up the spell lists of all caster bots and removed a bunch of excess spells that were useless.
o Fixed Healer bot spell lists so that there is always a current heal spell available no matter what level the bot is.
o Revised how a healer bot searches for which group member needs a heal. They will now heal any group member who is < 95% and any group member pets who are < 60%.
o Fixed the constant movement of bots and bot pets after they engaged a target.
o Bot pets will now generate 1/4th of the normal hate that a player would generate.
o Warrior, Paladin and Shadow Knight bots will now generate 2x more hate than before.
o Caster bots will begin to nuke at 98% now instead of 95%
o Necromancer and Magician bots will now heal their pets when they drop below 60%
o New bot command, #Bot PetHeal - This will toggle a healer bot to heal pets or not.
o Warrior, Shadow Knight, and Paladin bots will now stand a little further from their target.
o Bot pets will no longer taunt. This was causing a number of issues with aggro management.
o Caster bots once again function correctly.
o Bard bots once again function correctly.
o Healer bots that can cast a HoT should now wait until the HoT has worn off to cast another.

As always, please report any issue or suggestions you may have!

Clone:
o Fixed an issue where some items were showing as dropping in every zone.

Unfortunately we need to remind some players to a server rule:
# Selling/trading characters on THF is strictly prohibited and those accounts will get banned permanently.

Enjoy your stay,
The THF team
Oh the fun you all are going to have in DSK3...
