[TC] Feature Requests

[Kittnz]

I was thinking, bots are now static and are spawned on some locations around the world to play with. A few features i can come up with that would greatly enhance the experience of a official player on retail.

• [ ] Speech - Random speech and repond to some players questions. Basic speech would be fun and fun to make it very advanced.
• [ ] Waypoints - Make bots walk around the map. Litterly walk around go to zones and fight mobs, do quests, farm. Like a real bot would do in wow. The only thing i can think is some sort of waypoint system where player bots can walk. Pretty much like NPC waypoints are now but way bigger waypoints. This will increase memory usage but it would be worthwhile in the playing experience. Same in dungeons or raids. Pretty much what a bot should be doing.
• [ ] Battlegrounds - Now you added the ability to add npcbots in queue, can it be adapted into queueing into a battleground? Then we finally can play in battlegrounds and or play the game alone. ( waypoints would be sweet in this ). At the moment if you have a private server you can do dungeons and raid and quest and such, but no pvp. So would be great to have to pvp in world and in battlegrounds (maybe arena's too!)

Speech - agree, that would be interesting. E.g., reusing some code from SpeakinSpell addon could be a great start Waypoints - currenly bots are instructed to wander around (just move randomly) but seems this is broken on TC branch Battlegrounds - agree, this is a key feature that is missing

Yes SpeakinSpell addon is great, would be a good start!

I would like too add a few more suggestions.

• [ ] Basicly have a waypoint system specificly for bots. I'm thinking we can just use the motionmove functions but we need to make it dynamic so they don't always use the same path and when an enemy is in range attack it. If it is an enemy player attack and what not, same with normal creatures. This will works great for dungeons and battlegrounds. We just have to put some paths down they can follow. Maybe add some specific functions so they can talk to a npc and activate something or get the flag when it is dropped. I guess these algoridms can be made but will take some time. I would like to help where i can, i got a few ideas
• [ ] Queue for dungeons alone with other bots and do the dungeon. Know the layout and do the bosses (path system). No player is needed for them too be able to do dungeons or battlegrounds, same with arena. arena would be really simple i think. just make them move a round once in a while so they don't stay in the same spot fighting.

Anyway Great work so far ike3!
