Snigelmannenenenenenn: It was done in VS2010 I am afraid... if there's a way to do a back translate, happy to do it for you, but I could not see anything that allows for such. If you know of a way to do it, let me know.

Weird0-- LOL. So true. How many petabytes in the universe are wasted with things like that?

**snigelmannen** · 01-18-2011

Well i got vs2010 at home, checking it out then

Snigs: Again, if you or others want to recreate and maintain the LUA and inject code that recreate the internal functions, I am more than happy to help maintain this bot as a group. If not, well, happy to answer any informed questions on things.

Well, im just looking at code as of now. And i havent had the intention of making anything out of this, just gathering info/exp

Thanks for the release. I'm going to take a look into it and see what I can learn.

(New on the scene and I'm trying to learn as much as possible before asking stupid questions.)

Would it be possible to upload a video to see this semi-bot in action? For example how you bach through a dungeon with a 5-man group. This would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Funny, I was thinking of doing something like this as a 4 man with my DKs and Priests in a BG tonight just to show people ... The reason I can't do a serious dungeon now (except something remarkably easy), is that I haven't got the updates to any of my other classes synced with Cataclysm changes. I started on the Druid code, but no further. I am very happy with the Priest logic DB, as the Priest who actually is often the last bot standing after annoying the PvPers with his survivability. And I just noticed with the next release, Blizz is going to muck with classes again LOL... so likely even my current DB logic will be out of date. So, I'll see what's possible before any patch that mucks up my coding.

That said, whether one uses my code or not -- it's really about people starting to create CONTEXT DBs in a structured manner for more easily building context/reaction sets. I've seen so many spaghetti coding approaches or just lists of simple spells with some if/thens. My posting is just a one solution that bot behaviour (if it's not just a gathering bot) can be made more fun. My enjoyment was mostly beating teams of pvpers with encoded logic. And when I got beat, analyzing why, and hopefully learning from it. As you can imagine, doing this solo for 5 or more different classes becomes a chore when Blizz changes the basic rules (sometimes seriously) all the time.

If a community ever developed around this could be fun... BOT WARS... pitting different people's bot programming logic against each other.

This is awesome, great work. Here's a question -- I'm using TrinityCore and would like to use something similar to this to create Battlegrounds bots to play against on my server. The best way to do this would be direct hooks client/server so that it didn't require running a WoW client. Do you see any way that this could be leveraged for that sort of thing, as in a standalone application that just "ran" players of the opposing faction for my small private server group to play against?

**ShasVa** · 05-16-2011

I'm confused, and this seems like it is too good to be true.

Can this app of yours be used to easily win dungeons and possibly raids? Or does it only work on private servers?

If the former, I would love to try it out personally.

**dgrim** · 05-16-2011

ShasVa, I'm not sure if you've read any of the thread at all. It's not an application, it's merely resources that coders could use to develop a bot. It doesn't actually DO anything, in and of itself, at this point in time.
