   Operator's Manual

    

   1. Before you start playing on the server, create five characters of different classes (support, tank, DPS) on the same faction. Choose the character that will be your main and enter the server.
   2. Once you have entered the server, to add characters as bots to the group, type /bot in the chat (this only works if the addon is installed). A small window will appear with a green "Login All" button. Click on it, and all your characters will log in.
   3. Next, you will see a new button next to the "Login All" button. This new button will say "Join Group All." Click on it, and all your bots will join your group.
   4. If your bots die, you can disband them, log them out, and repeat the process in reverse order. They will appear alive again.

    

   The bots are programmed to respond to chat commands. The game addon is designed to make issuing those chat commands easier for the player, and though the desire is to make the addon a comprehensive solution, you may still have need for manual chat commands as you play.

   Caption

   command		action
   .playerbots bot add name1,name2,name3		login alts
   .playerbots bot remove name1,name2,name3		logout alts
   .playerbots bot add *		login all alts
   .playerbots bot remove *		logout all alts
   .playerbots bot init=rare name1,name2,name3		respawn @ your level w/ max talents & rare gear (random bots only)

    

   Behavior

    

   The bots are programmed to respond to triggers by listing possible actions and choosing one based on a strategy:

    

   1. triggers - what is happening
   2. actions - what can the bot do
   3. strategy - what is the best action

    

   Strategies can be combined, so they merge their effects to produce desired choices. Bots use two categories of strategies: combat and non-combat. You can add, subtract, or toggle strategies using the combat and non-combat prefixes in your commands:

    

   co +strategy1,-strategy2,~strategy3
   nc +strategy1,-strategy2,~strategy3
   

    

   You can query the bot to report what strategies are currently being used:

    

   co ? nc ?

    

   You can issue orders and query the bot to report back at the same time:

    

   co +strategy1,-strategy2,~strategy3,? 

   nc +strategy1,-strategy2,~strategy3,?

   To make bots flee with you from the danger:

   /p reset
   /p nc -stay,+follow,+passive
   /p co +passive
   /p do follow
   

    

   To make bots follow you and assist you in attack:

   /p nc -stay,+follow,-passive
   /p co -passive
   /p do follow
   

    

   To make bots stay in place and assist you in attack:

   /p nc -follow,+stay,+passive
   /p co +passive
   /p do stay
   

    

    

   Help

    

   The bot can tell you all available commands it will accept:

   /w help

   The bots will automatically do certain things based on what the party leader is doing.
