[Bug] Bot-related fixes and improvements (not yet submitted)

[ttklmnt]

Hi, thanks for sharing and open-sourcing this project.

I noticed that the repository hasn’t had much recent activity,
and I’m not sure if it’s still being actively maintained.

Recently, I’ve been working with this core and fixed a number of
bot-related issues and performance problems locally,
but I haven’t submitted any changes to the repository yet.

The fixes include:

• Bot data generation fixes (all classes, randomized levels and currency, including Monk, Death Knight, Demon Hunter)
• Login appearance checks for Demon Hunter and other classes
• Bot online count not being read from the .conf file
• Formation commands causing bots to run off incorrectly
• Group invite issues where bots reported “player not found”
• Bots not engaging in combat, not retaliating, or idling
• Bot talents not being learned or activated
• A new “crowd actor” bot mode with performance optimizations
  (bots only load and operate near real players)
• Optional bot level sync with party leader (set by .conf)
• Transmog data request issues causing player login freezes
• Restored pre-combat buff behavior similar to 3.3.5
• Automatic resurrection and summon-based revival for bots
• Server performance optimizations (bots no longer save buffs or spell cooldowns)
• Bots overlapping with each other after joining a group
• Added a 3.3.5-style PlayerBot client addon for player-side bot control

If the project is still maintained, I’d be happy to submit these changes
as a pull request or share the patches in any preferred format.

Thanks again for the original work on this project.

Hi,

First of all, thank you very much for your message and for taking the time to work on the project. I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the core and have already made so many improvements.

The project is definitely still alive. Unfortunately, I’ve had quite a few things going on in my personal life recently, so I haven’t been able to spend as much time on development as I’d like. Once things settle down again, I fully intend to continue working on it actively.

I’d be more than happy to review and merge your pull requests. It sounds like you’ve fixed a lot of important issues and even added some really interesting features. Contributions like yours are exactly what help move the project forward.

The more people who contribute and share their work, the better the project becomes for everyone. So please feel free to open one or more pull requests—I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks again for your work and for reaching out. I’m looking forward to seeing your contributions! 😃
