I'm not sure if this makes sense, but it helped me with the playerbots mod. While testing my fresh server, I realized that the bots couldn't enter Outland or Northrend. Upon investigation, I found that there's no option for them to run the raids by themselves, so once I reach Outland/Northrend, I'll run out of bots to carry me.

  • I added two new config options: ExcludeAccounts and ExcludedAccountsRegex.
  • If a player's account matches the regex, the portal/level restriction is not applied. In this case, I'm using "^RNDBOT.*".

I would like to understand this. Could you please explain what you mean by "no option for them to run the raids by themselves"? I'm not aware of bots running dungeons and raids by themselves.
Why wouldn't there be bots in Outlands? when they are the appropriate level they should be running around in Outlands.
Unless you disabled that map for them, so they can't teleport to it.

I'm in the dark. Enlighten me please.

I assume this is when compiled using Playerbots mod, these accounts mimic players and in that sense cannot collect the required flag to progress phases.

In this case it would likely be appropriate to create an option to, perhaps, randomize or disregards phase information for these types of bots.

@Badgermilk0 I don't see the problem still. Playerbots get teleported. Do they really care about progression phases?
Once they hit 60 they can get teleported into Outlands. They don't interact with the dark portal. Playerbots mod doesn't check the bots individual progression. I don't see why randombots from the playerbots module can't wonder around in Outlands.

What am I missing here. I really like to understand this.

From the tests I've done, bots other than DK cannot be summoned to Northrend, which might be due to a misconfiguration. I had to set the progression level for them to be able to be summoned.

I'll confirm this nerzhei - only DKs exists in Northrend in a Playerbot compile atm.
Same goes for Outlands - only DKs teleports to these zones.

I would like for your suggestion to be implemented to support Playerbots.
